NFL Season 08

[aznxenocide]

The season is about the kick off so I figured one of these threads would be necessary. Feel free to discuss matchups, make Superbowl predictions, and if we're lucky, we can even set up a betting pool. :p

[Rain]

My fav team is the seahawks and then the redskins. My superbowl prediction is that they shall play each other:rotflmao:rofl

[Nocturne]

NY Giants fan (and sort of Jets fan) here to represent! I'm hoping for the Giants to go to the Superbowl, but our quarterback Eli Manning isn't exactly Peyton Manning so well the odds are against them. XD

[Rain]

We should set up a betting pool on who will win.

The winner should get repped but there's no rep game allowed (we just won't tell anyone:lmao)

[aznxenocide]

hahahaha

:D

Really? A Seahawks fan in D.C.? That's awesome. ^.^ It's going to be tough for me...I'm a Seahawks fan as well, but I'm going to be going to school in Chicago in the fall. And considering what happened in the post season last year...that's going to be iffy. XD

[Rain]

:eek:you're in Seattle (i'm that slow)

Yeah, there aren't many Seahawks fans around DC. it's all redskins or Cowboys. i'm sure you can make living in Chicago, but being a seahawks fan work:hug

[aznxenocide]

@nocturne: Nocturne!! heeeeeeey!!! haha remember the Giants/Colts game last year? That was a pretty good game. Eli isn't Peyton, but he's still not bad at all. Pity Tiki Barber retired though. :(

@rain: hahaha yeaaah. XD mer. I just bought a jersey too. Set me back a hundred hard-saved dollars. >.<

[Alucard]

I used to watch NFL, but lost interest. Dont know why :/

I guess its because my team lost both Randy Moss and Daunte Culpepper. The only players I liked on the team. D:

[Ichigo_Kurosaki]

Steelers Fan, hope to god they do better than last year and Ben doesn't drive into a truck again....

[Rain]

Ichigo_Kurosaki- that's actually the best team strategy ever:D.

[Raiden]

LETS GO 49ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FRANK GORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERON DAVIS !!!!!!!!! ALEX SMITH!!!!!

THE NEW BIG THREE!!!

49ers vs. BENAGAL'S SUPER BOWL: MY DREAM!

[Ichigo_Kurosaki]

hahaha well the guy wears a helmet 90% of the time one time he takes it off he gets hit by a truck

[Near]

It's all about the cowboys and my boy T.O.!

[Lady Orihime]

:yay for the 12th man! Lets go SEAHAWKS!!! (Hasselbeck, Branch, & Alexander, I :love you!)

Won 2 of their pre-season games so far http://i17.tinypic.com/6h72hzl.gif

[aznxenocide]

@Ichigo: haha yeah. Eh, Big Ben played pretty well against the Eagles yesterday, so I wouldn't be too worried. :p

@near: I know this hurts, and I'm sorry, but how'd you guys react after romo lost you the post season, just out of curiosity?

@lady: HELL yeah. ^.^

There's alot of seahawks fans here. XD

[Vegeta_19]

Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna to take the championship(again:D)

[Rain]

Seahawks:yell

On their first drive in their first pre-season game, Hasselbeck got them a touchdown (with ease). As long as Hasselbeck and Alexander stay healthy for the whole season, there isn't a team in the league that can beat them (you know it's true)

[Ichigo_Kurosaki]

yaaaaaa vegeta steelers all the way

[aznxenocide]

Yuck. Steelers shouldn't have gotten that one two years ago anyways. >.<

It'll be interesting to see how we do with Darrell Jackson. God I loved him. Deion Branch better step up this season.

[Rain]

Kickoff is in two weeks right?

There should be one week of pre-season and then the week off right?

[aznxenocide]

Yeah, I think so.

[Nocturne]

@nocturne: Nocturne!! heeeeeeey!!! haha remember the Giants/Colts game last year? That was a pretty good game. Eli isn't Peyton, but he's still not bad at all. Pity Tiki Barber retired though.
Yeah sad about Tiki retiring, but I sort of knew he was starting to make broadcasting his future when I saw him hosting the morning show over at Fox News. I was like, what the heck is he doing there? This was a year before he even decided to retire. He's doing a great job in the broadcast booth though, quite a personable guy. No John Madden, but who is? XD As for Eli, yeah he did alright against his brother, but poor guy he'll always be under the shadow of his brother. Also he's got the tougher NY fans to please so pressure is on him.

For the Steelers vs Seahawks Superbowl, I rooted for the Steelers. Sorry Seahawks fans, just that I'm a fan of the Bus, so was happy he finally got a ring. *runs and hides* Fed Ex Caveman was my fave commercial for that year.

Last year I rooted for the Colts 'cause I like their coach Tony Dungy, though Lovie Smith is great as well. It was like the battle of the nice coaches. XD I really have a weird way of choosing winning teams if my team isn't in it. I seem to gravitate towards the feel good stories over stats of the game. No fave commercials last year, it was pretty blah I think.

Man that's why this is my fave time of the year, great weather, Football, and Thanksgiving! And I love gathering with friends and family to celebrate Superbowl. Seriously, it should be a National Holiday with Mondays off for all to rest. XDDDD

[Rain]

No need to run and hide Nocturne (from me at least). I'm glad bettis finally got a ring also:D.

[Lady Orihime]

Yuck. Steelers shouldn't have gotten that one two years ago anyways. >.<

I agree. Even Roethlisberger admitted on Letterman that he didn't think he crossed the goal line for the touchdown. That superbowl was a bunch of BS. I also thought that the superbowl should have been equal distance between the two cities, but whatever :rolleyes:

[aznxenocide]

Yeah, I'll admit, I was glad about Jerome Bettis too. Wasn't a big fan of the referees that year though. I forgot the specifics but I remember they cost us the Superbowl. XD

I'd root for the Colts over the Bears any day. Hell, I'd root for most teams over the Bears any day. haha awesome how you remember the commercials from the Superbowl. Wasn't the Seahawks/Steelers Superbowl the year the godaddy.com commercials debuted? XD

Feel good stories? hahah yeah, I totally know what you mean, and I can totally empathize. Which means I'm also a big fan of the Saints. And it's easy to not look like a sentimental fool while talking about the Saints because of Reggie Bush and Drew Brees. :p

@ladyhime: I hope you don't mind the abbreviation. XD wait, seriously? He admitted that on Letterman? Daaamnnn. massive wtf. I remember that touchdown...like, he "crossed" the line, went to the bottom of the pile, extended his hand and tried to put the ball in the end zone, and I remember Madden being like, "Yeah, that doesn't really count now, since he's already down." :D

[Lady Orihime]

Roethlisberger admits: 'I don't think I got in'
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5313884 (link isn't there anymore, but it once was)

Before David Letterman got to shave Ben Roethlisberger's beard Monday night, he got the Steelers' Super Bowl-winning quarterback to admit a little something that might rankle Seahawks fans even more.

Roethlisberger told Letterman that he didn't think he scored on a controversial play in the second quarter that put the Steelers ahead for good 7-3. Roethlisberger dove toward the end zone but didn't appear to get the ball to touch the goal line. But officials on the field signaled touchdown.
"I told Coach, 'I don't think I got in,'" Roethlisberger told Letterman. "But we were getting ready to go for it on fourth down anyway, and I would have run it again. So we would have found a way to get in."

The play infuriated Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren and has provided Seattle fans plenty of fodder for their fury over the game's questionable calls.

Referee Bill Leavy upheld the call after a replay review, and Holmgren then upbraided Leavy on his way off the field at halftime.

Holmgren walked over to Leavy, a fifth-year referee calling his first Super Bowl, and could be seen angrily telling him, "It wasn't even close."

Later on his Late Show appearance, the Pittsburgh quarterback got a shave from Letterman, finally ridding himself of the scraggly light brown facial hair he's been growing since the Steelers lost to Cincinnati in October.

"I was so mad that we lost the game," Roethlisberger told Letterman. "I kind of went into a depression and didn't shave and we ended up winning the next game. And I am kind of superstitious — just a little bit to people who know me — but we won that game and I said I am just going to keep it going until we lose and we kept it going.

"I don't really like the beard you know. But we were winning so I had to keep it going."

Letterman's deadpan reply, "Really? Honestly, I think it looks like a million bucks."

Roethlisberger became the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl, when the Steelers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 21-10 on Sunday night. He passed for 123 yards and ran for a touchdown.

"The worst part about winning the AFC championship game was that I had to keep (the beard) for two more weeks," he said. "I didn't want to do that."

After the interview, Letterman asked a woman from Pittsburgh who was in the audience to help him shave Roethlisberger.

"You want to take a little off?" Letterman asked the Steelers' fans.

[Nocturne]

Yey, my Giants lost to the Patriots yesterday, woo! I know it's just pre-season so it's not really a good measure of how they'll do in the regular season. As long as they win against the Cowboys once the season starts I'll be happy. LOL there was a scene with Eli Manning and Tim Hasselbeck side by side and I couldn't help but think the Giants are the poor man's version of the Colts and the Seahawks put together. XD

Oh and I remember that touchdown that wasn't, but I ignored it for Bettis' sake 'cause yeah that was a bad call.

[Rain]

Nocturne- pre-season is almost worthless to determine how the season will go (this is my poor attempt at making you feel better):cool:

The giants are a poor man's version of the colts and seahawks:lmao:lmao

[Nocturne]

LOL, thanks Rain! :hug I usually forget the pre-season exists when it comes to the Giants 'cause most of the time they suck (but I still love them).

And woo, Faith Hill sings the Sunday Night Football theme song. Good thing I usually don't tune in until the actual start of the game. The only Football theme song I like is the one for Monday Night Football, sung by Hank Williams, Jr. How can you not enjoy a song that starts with "Are you ready for some Football!!!!" :D

[Rain]

It could be worse- one of my fav teams, the redskins- usually do really well in pre-season but then suck in the reg. season.

Now I have that song stuck in my head:D

[aznxenocide]

Poor man's version? haha awww. Giants aren't THAT bad...they're still a contender. XD

Hey, question. Is Vince Young starting this year? Cuz he's hella gracing the cover of Madden 08 and I figured it'd be a shame if he weren't starting this season. XD

[Rain]

It looks like he's starting, could the madden curse be broken?

Why did it have to hit Alexander last year:(

[aznxenocide]

Whatever. Even with Hasselbeck and Alexander out for a huge portion of the season, Seahawks still made it to the playoffs.

Except even when Hasselbeck and Alexander came back, the Seahawks still weren't Superbowl caliber. Soooo we'll see. :p

[Nocturne]

Football season has officially started! *does touchdown dance* Kicked off by Indianapolis Colts vs New Orleans Saints! 3rd Quarter now with Colts leading the Saints 24 -10. Double take moment for me, Madden talking about Bush and then commenting on how Peyton has so many options with him on the team and I'm like wait...then I remembered Saints' coach's name is Sean Payton. For a while there I was like, what's Peyton Manning got to do with Reggie Bush. XD That said, nice end to the Manning/Bush pranks commercial too before the start of the game, with both Bush and Manning talking about how they would never play pranks on each other and then Manning plays a prank by calling the Secret Service to protect the "President". XD Yey, Football is back, all is right in the world!

[aznxenocide]

What an awesome kick off game. I mean...seriously...couldn't be a better match up. Hella Superbowl preview? :p

Of course, I'm hoping the New Orleans offence is gonna be able to come back...XD

[Nocturne]

LOL, well, during the first quarter, I thought the Saints would have a chance because they had three 3rd down conversions in a row, though they couldn't score even a field goal in that run. I was even commenting during that time that the Colt's defense seem a bit porous. Spoke too soon! Anyway, 3 minutes to go and the Saints need 3 TD's and a field goal to tie. It can be done, 3 minutes is a lot of time. :D

Edited: Make that 4 TD's and a field goal to tie with 55 seconds to go. XD

[aznxenocide]

Yeah, if Manning throws a couple interceptions, or he loses a fumble like that one that Drew Brees got owned by...XD

OHMYEFFINGGOD

Okay never mind. Brees just threw the interception that was returned 82 yards for the touchdown. There will be no comeback for the Saints. XD

[Nocturne]

LOL yeah, Drew Brees didn't have a good game. To think I my initial prediction for this game was Colts winning 21-14. Final is 41-10 Colts over the Saints! Good game, a bit one sided on the second half though. Poor Saints, their offense was shut down after looking promising during the first half. As some of us say in tagalog, "na pako sa 10" or they got nailed (stuck) at 10.

[yanniv]

I was definitely going for the Saints in this one. I dislike the Colts and don't want to see them fail this season.

But damn, NFC is still sucking. It seems the NFC is like five years behind the AFC in terms of overall skill.

[Rain]

Colts won huh, I didn't really care about that game:eek: It would've been nice to see a closer game though

[Nocturne]

I agree, I would have liked a closer game as well. It was building up to that when the teams went into half-time with the score at 10-10, but then the Colts took over during the 3rd quarter. As xeno said, at the beginning it looked like a Superbowl match-up. In the end, the Colts proved why they're the champs while the Saints have to go back to the drawing board.

Ah anyway, looking forward to Giants vs Cowboys this Sunday. That match-up never gets old. Never liked them Cowboys. XD

[Rain]

to anyone who knows:

who do the seahawks play and when is the game? I could probably find it online somewhere but I don't feel like looking.

[aznxenocide]

Seattle plays Tampa Bay Sunday at 4:15

It might've just been the Colts...but I mean, holy crap...coming off a Superbowl and then dominating the number one offense in the league last season....XD

I'm looking forward to the Bears vs. Chargers game. THAT'S a playoff preview. Hopefully. :p

[Rain]

Thanks aznxenocide. I doubt they'll air the game in my area, but if it is a 4:15 game there is a chance

*crosses fingers*

[aznxenocide]

Well..hmm...considering that the Chicago vs. San Diego game is going on at the same time...might be a long shot dude. XD

[Rain]

Chicago vs San Diego at the same time:nuts

Where I live I usually only 3-4 of the Seahawks regular season games anyway, so as long as they win i'll be happy:cool:

[aznxenocide]

Watching Eagles vs. Packers, McNabb getting owned. But what I WISH I were watching is how the Vikings were able to pwn Atlanta 24-3. WIthout Vick, the falcons are NOTHING. XD Surprised the Cardinals are owning St. Louis so badly too. huh.

[Rain]

Redskins won:D it was a pretty good game, at least towards the end.

[Nocturne]

'Caught the tail end of the Redskins and thought it would have been awesome had the batted ball that was caught by...I think Randle El turned into a TD at the end of regulation (he should have ran left!). But least they won the game.

Yeah, I'm down with a cold so I spent the day vegging and watching Football (and other sports). The bad, Jets lost to the Pats 38-14 and the Giants lost 45-35 to the Cowboys. The sad, NFL record for 108 yard kickoff return by Hobbs of the Patriots on Jet's turf, that and injuries to Jacobs, Umenyiora and possibly Manning of the Giants. The surprise, Giants getting a TD on their first possession. The stupid, not getting the extra point. Funny stuff, Brady in an interview hearing someone say "Brady Sucks" and he repeats that and "that's Meadowlands for you." Yeah, proud of our fans representing. XD The good, the Mets and Tiger Woods won. XDD Yeah, I tend to change channels when my teams are losing so I changed channels a lot.

Overall nice kick-off to the football season even if my teams lost. 15 games to go, they still have a chance. :D

[aznxenocide]

New Yorker? Eh, it's technically part of New England isn't it? :D

Seahawks defense pwned. And lol @ Jeremy Steven's almost-fumble...his first game back on Seattle territory. Oh god, I wish I were in the stands. He was booed so loudly. :p Still, surprised Jeff Garcia was only able to do most of his stuff in the 1st quarter, considering what he'd done for the Eagles. >.<

Speaking of the Eagles...sorry about that. XD

Bears lost to the Chargers though. Frickin 4 TURNOVERS. JEEEEEZ. XD

[Nocturne]

Two things to share:

The good news for Kevin Everett, he may walk again! Freak injuries in Football get to me so I was praying he would pull through! Glad he's going to be alright.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3014742

And now for something totally hysterical!

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3014677

Spying? There's no spying in Football! XDDD Oh, no wonder the Jets D was picked apart so easily. Here I thought the Jets just sucked. :D

[Rain]

He may walk again, wow. I didn't see the hit, but from what I've read and heard it sounded terrible. I'm glad to hear he may be able to walk (eventually)

[aznxenocide]

HAHA i saw that too Nocturne. Frickin bull. XD No way there was any spying. COmplete crap. XP

Yeah, good thing about Kevin Everett...any word on Eli Manning too? Heard his back quarterback used to play linebacker....that should be interesting. :p

[Nocturne]

Eli's got a bruised right shoulder. I know he didn't practice today. He'll live but his status for Sunday is still unsure. Didn't know the back-up QB was an LB? I have to see his size. Least we know if he needs to he can stiff arm someone properly or tackle if he needs to. XD I'm looking forward to Sunday's game more for the fact that they're playing the Packers with Favre still at the helm. Here's a blast from the past:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2aupzbEnaU

Faveruh! XDDD

[aznxenocide]

I heard Kevin Everett woke up today...lol what a frickin beast. Probably won't be able to move around much, but to be already conscious and whatnot...dayum.

Bruised shoulder? Ouch. So he's sitting out at least one game...lol Giants/Packers. XD

[Nocturne]

HaHa, Giants lost to the Packers 35-13. Nice time for Brett Favre to get back to form. XD Maybe the Giants should complain of spying 'cause their D was picked apart like the Packers offensive coordinator was looking over the Giant's defensive coordinator's shoulder and taking lots of notes. XDDD

[Rain]

the redskins aren't playing today, and i don't get the seahawks game:( i don't care about any games on tv today

[Raiden]

YES 49ERS 2-0 BABY!!!!! HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wtf :wtf :wtf

[aznxenocide]

THIS WEEK WAS RIDICULOUS.

Okay, the Saints are seriously...>.< Aw damn. They better bounce back....so much for their Superbowl run.

Browns and Bengals were EPIC. But Browns beat Carson Palmer...holy damn. What an epic week. *shakes head*

[Rain]

hey, that means the 49's will get a least two wins this year :lmao just kidding with you griffith:hug

seahawks lost :cry at least its just one loss:cry

[3nd3r]

WHEW!

go ravens. Jets missed three golden opportunities to catch up... really, you can't miss, those even if it is only the second week.

Oh, and... Patriots are beating chargers </3 ;( ;( ;(

[Raiden]

hey, that means the 49's will get a least two wins this year :lmao just kidding with you griffith:hug

seahawks lost :cry at least its just one loss:cry

lol Rain, you know the seahawks lost both games to the 49ers last year, might happen this year also lol. :p

[aznxenocide]

How did the Patriots own the Chargers so badly? o.O

Jeezus christ. They may actually make another Superbowl run...what with Randy Moss and whatnot. XD

[Nocturne]

How did the Patriots own the Chargers so badly? o.O
LOL, they knew what plays the Chargers were running, that's how. XD Oh man, I feel like everytime the Patriots win, someone in the media will mention spygate. Even Jerome Bettis was questioning playoff wins now by Patriots over the Steelers when he was still playing.

So yey, both NY teams are 0-2 this season. We're off to a great start! Congrats to the 2-0 teams!

[yanniv]

LOL, they knew what plays the Chargers were running, that's how. XD Oh man, I feel like everytime the Patriots win, someone in the media will mention spygate. Even Jerome Bettis was questioning playoff wins now by Patriots over the Steelers when he was still playing.

Yeah, because the Pats are the only team to "spy" on their opponents. :rotflmao

[Raiden]

Yeah, because the Pats are the only team to "spy" on their opponents. :rotflmao

they are the only ones who got caught, and it seems belichek has a collection of coordinators he video tapes.

[Rain]

Yay monday night football comes on pretty soon, and its the redskins:D

with the spying talk- well as long as they don't get caught then theres no foul :rofl

[Nocturne]

Congrats to your Redskins, Rain! I was rooting for them all the way 'cause I'm not liking any Philadelphia team right now as the Phillies are giving my Mets a scare and giving me heartburn. :/

On spygate, it's funny how people like Bettis and Collingsworth over at NBC pre-game were talking about how Belichick should have at least been suspended one game. Like a lot of sports, spying on the other team is nothing new, but getting caught and having actual vid evidence is what made this different.

[aznxenocide]

jeeeez

I know the Eagles can do better than that. >.<

[Rain]

Nocturne :hug

the redskins are 2-0:eek: hell yeah, now they'll get at least 2 wons this year (some years that seems like it might not happen)

[Nocturne]

LOL, Rain, you won't be giving any hugs today 'cause I'll be rooting for the Giants to hand your Redskins their first loss. Come on, I need to know the Giants can at least win one game this year. XD

[Rain]

Nocturne- the giants usually crush the redskins, but maybe the redskins will win, and I'm sure the giants will get at least 1 win:p Any game between two NFC east teams is sure to be awesome

[Nocturne]

Yey, finally Giants and Jets BOTH win, 3 weeks in! About time, I was about to write them off as all the sports pages in NY media have been doing or at least thinking of doing had these teams gone in 0-3 for the season. But 1-2 has revived them. Sorry your Redskins had to lose to the Giants, Rain, but like you said, Giants had to at least win one. But dude, the Redskins could have tied the game, they had 4 downs at the 1 yard line, and even had 30 seconds left on their final play, but they opted to run instead of pass. Ah well, it's good for the Giants they couldn't convert for a TD. BTW, what's with the Redkins new day-glo yellow uniforms? And what's with the R and feather on their helmets? I miss the Redskins old uniform and logo.

[Rain]

That game was crazy. it was all redskins in the first half, but in the second half, the giants got serious and showed us why they usually crush the skins:D I though the skins would tie the game but they rushed their 4th down play with 30 seconds on the clock:headscratch

Nocturne- it was a throwback uniform (the eagles did it too), I think its in honor of the teams 75-year aniversary or something. The announcer was talking about it and i wasn't paying attention.

[Nocturne]

Rain, thank goodness that was only a throwback uniform 'cause man that was ugly. Here's to seeing them in their old uniforms this week. Anyway, is it me or are you guys letting a girl post more in this football thread than you guys are? XD

Week 4 people, might as well post the NFL's main link here so easy access for people looking for scores or something.

http://www.nfl.com/

Oh man, Giants face Eagles. I really hope the Giants win.

[Rain]

Nocturne- some guys just can't handle girls you like football:lmao I want the giants to win also, not a big eagles fan:D

Hmm redskins don't play today, their by week is always so early in the season

[Nocturne]

LOL, thanks Rain, means I scared all the guys away with my love for Football. How sad! Ah well, I'm glad you rooted for the Giants over the Eagles. At least one NY team beat a Philadelphia team. *still smarting over the Mets implosion*

[HELLA PINOY]

Hmm...basically...Tampa Bay all the way!! lol

-5 new starters on defense
-New, badass QB
-Lost 1st game but dominated the last 3 weeks. Saints, Rams, and Panthers.

[aznxenocide]

Dude, if you want to talk about crazy games...Lions and Bears. Bears was sort of dominating the first three quarters...and then the Lions just came back and KICKED ASS. Like, holy crap.

Patriots vs. Bengals was INSANE. I expected ALOT more from two of the top offenses in the league. But holy damn Carson Palmers was TOTALLY shut down. And Randy Moss is a pimp.

Seattle's 3-1. Hell yeah. ^.^

Next week, Super Bowl rematch, Seattle vs. Steelers, baby. Time to show why we should've won that one.

@pinoy: lol good luck against the Colts next week dude.

[HELLA PINOY]

thanks...they'll prob need it, lol...damn Peyton Manning!

[Nocturne]

NFL power rankings according to Fox Sports.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/powerRankings?MSNHPHCP&GT1=10539

HELLA PINOY I hope the Bucs beat the Colts this Sunday. Go Ronde! Least there is still one Barber to cheer for. :D

[aznxenocide]

Wow Seattle's number 5? Even I wouldn't give them that...they're a good team, but I wouldn't say they're number 5. Although the fact that they're placed above the Steelers gives me great hope for next week. :p

[Nocturne]

I can't believe I forgot the Giants battle the Jets this week. I'm rooting for the Giants, but they are behind by a TD with 23 seconds before halftime and Manning just got intercepted. I think I just jinxed the Giants 'cause the interception happened as I was typing this. XD

Ya, I wish I could watch it but FOX wants to show a damn movie and reruns instead... grrrr!:mad:

[Rain]

Seattle got absolutely crushed:( but the redskins dominated the lions, so overall I'm happy.

[aznxenocide]

That was shameful. T.T

Don't even talk about it, or I swear I'll rip your throat out.

Arizona coming back to beat St. Louis was epic. And how the hell did KC lose? o.O

[HELLA PINOY]

Well it's official

33-14 Colts over Bucs.

Colts are 5-0-0
Bucs are 3-2-0

damn you Peyton Manning!!! *shakes fist*

[aznxenocide]

So are the Patriots. Green Bay's going to own Chicago, and Cowboys are essentially guaranteed a win over Buffalo.

4 teams that are 5-0? Absolutely insane.

And DUDE. Jacksonville limited KC to 10 rushing yards?!?!?! HOOLYJLAHSDLFIUHALIUWDKJNFASDV

That's absolutely ridiculous.

lol@Chargers vs. Broncos. LT had more receiving yardage than any individual Broncos receiver. :p

[Rain]

xeno- and three teams are still winless, miami, st loius, saints. The standings may not be very close this year

[Nocturne]

Woo, Giants beat the Jets! I didn't jinx them after all.

What's up with Brett Favre that he's leading the league in passing yards. This guy before the start of the season was being questioned if he should have retired already and here he is throwing like he's in his prime.

Standings after Week 5:

http://www.nfl.com/standings

LOL, I like the AFC West. They're like all tied, technically. XD

HELLA PINOY, that's bizarre. They showed the game in the East Coast for us. Football is king, why show reruns and a movie? :headscratch Ah well, Colts won anyway, sorry. I wonder who's going to hand them their first loss.

I'm hoping the Patriots will hand them a loss. Colts lost 2 players to injuries last game but the replacements were well picked Ill give them that. They know how to build a good team.

[aznxenocide]

HOLY DAMN.

Tony Romo is getting his ass kicked. 5 interceptions, 2 returned for touchdowns. He's like Ugly Rex Grossman last year, except worse. Goddamn.

And how the hell did Chicago beat Green Bay? >.<

So Colts and Pats still perfect. Last two left. :p

[Nocturne]

LOL, xeno, to hear Favre say it, Green Bay let them win. XD

Hell, did you all watch the end of the Cowboys/Buffalo game? Crazy! I'm annoyed Cowboys won, but it was exciting especially at the end! Calling a timeout just before the snap with 1 second to go? And then to have Folk kick a 53 yard field goal twice AND get them in both times? Buffalo thought they could rattle him, but he was like clockwork, same kick and all. Crazy game. Romo may have sucked at the first half, or rather first quarter, but his last pass to get the ball in position for the field goal redeemed him just a tad. He owes Folk a big ass dinner for bailing his ass. XD

[aznxenocide]

DUDE THAT WAS INSANE.

I mean...watching the first three quarters....it was RIDICULOUS. Ohmyfrickingod. The best frickin game EVER. Even though Romo was pretty much ABSOLUTELY CRAP the entire game. And TO was completely shut out. I mean...holy crap...to have all that going for you...must be killer for Buffalo. Sucks sooo much.

I also liked how Romo is holding for kicks anymore. :p

[Rain]

:eek: Cowboys won, I went to sleep at the end of the third, because it seemed like the bengals had things well in hand

And I'm glad Greenbay lost, now they'll be alittle shaken up this week, so the redskins have a better chance (yes thats how I'm going to look at this)

[HELLA PINOY]

Well this Sunday it's gonna be Dallas vs New England. So one of these teams is about to be....un-undefeated :D

[aznxenocide]

That's going to be an epic game. Especially after everyone's been comparing Romo to Favre. But shieet. Patriots are gonna pull this off. Cuz Randy Moss>>>>>TO

[Nocturne]

Romo and Favre? I don't see it. :headscratch But go Patriots!

[HELLA PINOY]

Tommorrow's game day people! Post your predictions and upsets for your fav teams.

Miami over Cleveland

Tampa Bay over Tennesse

New England over Dallas (upset(...either way its an upset, lol))

Jacksonville over Houston

[Rain]

Stupid redskins, they played like s*** in the second half:( and they were doing so good in the first half. I think they just got really confused:rofl

[aznxenocide]

WOOOOWWW

The Patriots OWNED. And so did the Chargers, finally. And wow Seattle played like shit in the first three and a half quarters. >.<

[Rain]

xeno- the patriots flat out dominated the cowboys in the second, and most of the first, half:D

but i disagree about the seahawks. They were playing like s*** for the last 7 and a half quarters:rofl

[aznxenocide]

Yeah, except you know, for the whole throwing for 360+ yards.

[Alucard]

Adrian Peterson pwnt the Bears.

thats wassup^

[HELLA PINOY]

Lmao, anyone watch the Bucs and Titans game? Titan's QB decided to chuck the ball as he was being sacked...your already down dude, why chuck the ball!?? Anyways Bucs won 13-10 :D

Patriots killed Dallas...I think they still got hidden camera's out there! lol

[Alucard]

Vince Young sucks, so im not surprised.

[Rain]

xeno- wasn't that game two weeks ago, and last weeks was where they got shut out 21-0 (or have you completely blocked out that game:rotflmao.

[Nocturne]

Patriots killed Dallas...I think they still got hidden camera's out there! lol
LOL, when NBC showed a recap of the Pats/Cowboys game, there was a shot of Belichick pointing out the play on a whiteboard for his players. Keith Olberman pretending to be Belichick said, "we have the cameras here, here, here and here." XDDDD I love Keith Olberman, I wish he never left ESPN because him and his tagteam partner Dan Patrick were just the best on SportsCenter. They were hysterical together! :D

Yey, Giants won! Couldn't believe they were talking about how they've become a contender all of a sudden on ESPN. Who'da thunk!

And dude, what happened to the Seahawks?

[Ichigo_Kurosaki]

Yah the seahawks are garbage this year...doesn't help that Alexander is playing with a broken hand..

[aznxenocide]

@rain: huh? What are you talking about? o.O

Yeah...meh. At least we're playing St. Louis next week. I hope to dear god the Rams stay winless

[HELLA PINOY]

Just like the Dolphins xeno? lmao

Looking foward to Tampa Bay and Jacksonville goin at it. The Bucs are (4-2) while the Jags are (4-1)

[Rain]

xeno- I was confused, it happens:p

Both the redskins and the seahawks won :yay and the patriots won again, miami is still winless (poor miami) as is St. louis

Next week the patriots play the skins, that should be a good game:rotflmao, maybe I'm just :crazy, but I think the redskins have a decent chance to win:eek::rofl

[Ulquiorra]

lol @ the dolphins today

[HELLA PINOY]

no lol at the damn Lions for picking up 2 fumbles...

[Nocturne]

Jets are officially done for the season. Leading at the half and couldn't hold the lead. Thumbs down.

Patriots win again? What's up with Brady and 6 TD passes. Can anyone stop this guy? Or is that a testament to bad D from Miami?

Yey, Giants won!

[HELLA PINOY]

Honestly Id rather go for the Pats instead of the Colts >_<

*grumbles in Stewie voice*
damn Peyton Manning and his signature TD Passes!!

[Rain]

just to get some discussion going

what do you think the upset of the week will be (if any)?

my guess- redskins and patriots:rotflmao

[Nocturne]

LOL, any upsets I'm rooting for revolve around either the Patriots or Colts! Anyway, here are Sunday's match ups. Teams I think will win on week 8 are in bold.

IND vs CAR
DET vs CHI
PIT vs CIN
NYG vs MIA
PHI vs MIN
CLE vs STL
OAK vs TEN
BUF vs NYJ
HOU vs SD
JAC vs TB
WAS vs NE
NO vs SF
GB vs DEN

LOL, yeah I chose the Redskins over the Pats in honor of Rain's B-day. XD

[aznxenocide]

IND vs CAR
DET vs CHI
PIT vs CIN
NYG vs MIA
PHI vs MIN
CLE vs STL
OAK vs TEN
BUF vs NYJ
HOU vs SD
JAC vs TB
WAS vs NE
NO vs SF
GB vs DEN

Upsets this week? I doubt it.

[HELLA PINOY]

I see that both of you have chosen the Bucs over then Jags, lol

[aznxenocide]

Jacs are falling, dude. And besides, Jeff Garcia is not a bad player. Even though he got manhandled by the Seahawks. :p

Seahawks should be able to make playoffs...the rest of their schedule is mostly easy...Browns, 49'ers, Rams, Eagles, Panthers, Falcons. Only teams I see posing any sort of problem are the Bears, Cardinals, and maybe the Ravens. 10 and 6, baby.

Hopefully. >.<

[HELLA PINOY]

I don't see how the Bucs lost to the Lions...hell I didnt even know Arizona had a team until I saw the schedule XD

[Rain]

Nocturne- thanks for picking the redskins :hug, the giants are going to crush miami in london, poor miami

HELLA- don't underestimate Arizona this year. They've had a few bad breaks (why they have so many loses) but they are a far better team than in previous years

xeno- seattle shouldn't have a problem making the playoffs, didn't they make it last year with a 9-7 record:rofl

[HELLA PINOY]

Ya, and the Dolphins are a force to be reckoned with! lol j/k :)

Ha ha at the seahawks...Arrrrg!

[Nocturne]

Never underestimate the power of an 0-7 team. Miami might be more hungry for the win than the Giants are. Can't believe they're all playing in London though! I'm more curious to see the crowd's reaction to the game than the game itself. XD

I wonder if Chargers will be playing at Qualcomm stadium though. It's being used as a place for evacuees from the fire I think. The team is practicing in Arizona, last I checked.

[HELLA PINOY]

They'll prob use the Arizona stadium or maybe SF or Oakland's. This is known as Def con 5 in NFL lol

[aznxenocide]

Okay, well, Dolphins AND Rams are 0-8.

XD

And Tom Brady and Mike Vrabel are UNSTOPPABLE. 2 touchdown passes and 2 rushing touchdowns...Tom Brady has more rushing touchdowns in this game than Adrian Peterson did last week. :p And frickin Mike Vrabel...1 touchdown reception, 10 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 forced fumbles....un-frickin-believable.

I'm calling Patriots over the Colts next week.

[Rain]

xeno- have faith, the redskins can still win :rotflmao I couldn't even say that with a straight face

After seeing the pats play today (and the prev. seven weeks) I can't imagine any team beating them, they are fantastic in every aspect, and their offense can't be fully covered (too many players can catch the ball, and it they are stopped Brady will just run it in)

On a side-note- no team has ever lost all 16 games in the season, so does anyone think that the Rams or dolphins will break that record:D

[aznxenocide]

WOOOOOOOOOOW

Both the starting AND the back up quarterback for the Patriots scored rushing touchdowns. On the Redskins defense, which was supposed to be a challenge. WOOOOWWWW. This is getting ridiculous. The Pats are playing better than I do on Madden 07.

[Nocturne]

You jinxed them Rain, if you didn't bring up the possibility of Rams or Dolphins being the first to go 0-16, they would have certainly have made that milestone.

I was looking forward to watching the Redskins vs Patriots game yesterday after the Giants game, but our Fox affiliate didn't cover it. *grumble* Showed Bourne Supremacy instead. I'd rather see Brady's Pats Supremacy even though I was rooting for the Redskins.

Giants vs Dolphins game was just butt ugly. Only two TD's between both teams. It would have been exciting had there been more TD's instead of field goals. Not really the most stellar example of football to show off to the Brits, that's for sure.

[Rain]

Nocturne- the redskins game was really boring actually. The redskins f-ed up almost most of their drives, and the pats scored on most of them:D.

I loved how when the giants went down to a knee to end the game quicker (like 1.5 minutes left in the game) the fans in the stadium were booing so loud, it was hilarious:rofl

xeno- what difficulty of Madden 07:D anything less than all-madden is pretty easy to beat:cool:

[Nocturne]

Ah, ok so I didn't miss much then regarding the Redskins/Pats game. It's sad, everytime I put "/" between teams I keep thinking they're a slash pairing. *is shot*

Yeah, I think the booing was my fave part of the game. That and seeing all the fans represent ALL the NFL team jersees/caps not just Giants or Dolphins. It's cute how they were painting their faces and wearing shirts to spell out a teams name. Didn't see any painted bellies though. XD

[Rain]

Since we've getting close to Sunday we should take bets on who will win what games. Of course the biggest game of this week is going to be pats and colts.

So who thinks what..

I'm saying pats will win, just because I can't see them losing at all:D

[Slev]

I almost don't care as long as one of those teams goes undefeated. That way the '72 Dolphins will just shut up about their undefeated season already. If I had to choose I would prefer the colts to win, just because I hate the patriots.

[HELLA PINOY]

I almost don't care as long as one of those teams goes undefeated. That way the '72 Dolphins will just shut up about their undefeated season already. If I had to choose I would prefer the colts to win, just because I hate the patriots.

Its funny you say that because...

As a teenager Chuck Norris once had sex with an entire convent in the hills of Tuscany ... 9 months later they gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated and untied team in NFL history

:D

[Nocturne]

Wow, Jets can't ever close a game with a win. Congrats to your Redskins, Rain!

Go Colts!

[Rain]

Redskins FTW:D

That was a close game, I thought the jets had it

The colts and pats game is much closer than I though it'd be, both of those teams are damn good

[HELLA PINOY]

holy crap at the seahawks lmao sorry xeno :D

Bucs finally won one. Now they're 5-4.

Colts and Pats game was great. Loved the little thing Manning did in the end. Pounding fist on the ground...Im going to find the pic and print a poster of it and hang it in my room :D

[Rain]

poor poor seahawks, they get no breaks at all *:hugs the seahawks*

since we are getting fairly close to playoffs (more than halfway there) are there any crazy predictions you have

[Alucard]

Wheres the love for Adrian Peterson? The guy had 296 yards this past Sunday rushing.......

[HELLA PINOY]

Holy crap is anyone watching the carnage of the Rams over the Saints ?! XD

Or how bout the Jags whoopin the Titans :D

Miami might actually get a win today too :D:D

[Vizard_King]

Rooting for the Redskins like always. Almost got our asses kicked last week.

[HELLA PINOY]

Well so much for a Miami win, lmao.

I saw the last play of the Browns and Steelers. Looked like a brawl was about to brak out in the end, lol.

Sorry about the Washington there VK :(

[Vizard_King]

Wait, did the Browns WIN one?
If they did then that'll make up for a Washington lose ((Havent watched the game yet, gonna find the score out later. If we won then...Well I'll be really friggen happy.))

[HELLA PINOY]

No...sorry to say again but the Browns lost by 3. They tried to tie it up with a FG but it was short by a few feet.

[Rain]

Stupid redskins, losing so pathetically like that:( At least they're still third in their division

The rams were pretty good today, hard to believe there were winless. And poor miami, they won't be making the playoffs this year:D (they're only what 0-9)

[aznxenocide]

Chargers are assholes.

@vizard: Browns won three in a row dude. Steelers owned them in the end though. Serves the Browns right.

[Nocturne]

Le sigh, after an exciting first half where the Giants tied with Cowboys, they let the Cowboys take over afterward.

Poor Miami, what's it going to take for them to win one...when are they meeting the Jets? XD

Speaking of the Jets, my bro-in-law said yesterday that at least the Jets weren't going to lose and I quickly replied that's because they're not playing. Great minds think alike. :D

[HELLA PINOY]

Chargers are assholes.

lmao !! Chargers FTW !! :D :p

You can blame it on the weather as much as you want but Vinny and Manning got spanked !!

Oh boy at the Dolphins :( They may be the first team to go undeafeted as well as winless :D

[Rain]

Hella- thats why I want miami to go winless, no team has ever done that before, and for it to be miami would be hilarious.

Seahawks better win tonight. I finally get to see one of thir games, it better be a win.

Nocturne- miami plays new england in week 25, they'll probably win that game:D (the patriots third string needs practice after all:D)

[HELLA PINOY]

Hella- thats why I want miami to go winless, no team has ever done that before, and for it to be miami would be hilarious.

Hey screw you !! :p lmao

I fixed ur "E"

You never know. Miami could get breathed on by Chuck Norris and pull a St. Louis Rams, lol

[Rain]

Seahawks won:D they dominated the 49's (not a big accomplishment, but still)

HELLA- thanks for fixing my typos:hug

[Guildenstern]

Goddamn it, Gruden, you better get the Bucs in fighting shape over bye week so we can actually try to gimp into the playoffs. Christ.

All the Tampa teams are blowing chunks this year except for the Bulls. >___<

[Nocturne]

Seahawks won:D they dominated the 49's (not a big accomplishment, but still)

HELLA- thanks for fixing my typos:hug
LOL, saw the game! Steve Young was just saying how awful the San Francisco 49's were. 6 first downs for the whole game. That's bad! These guys started 2-0 and now have lost 7 in a row. And their quarterback was a first round draft pick 3 years ago. :eek:

[HELLA PINOY]

Bucs are back in action today and they're looking great...then again it's againt the Falcons. This years Browns, lol

[Rain]

The giants won, but i thought the lions were going to steal the win at the last second.

Miami lost again *:hugs that crappy team*

Redskinds are ahead of dallas at the half:eek: thats something:D

and its the same with the seahawks:D

[HELLA PINOY]

WTF happened in the Browns gam? lmao. I have never sen anything like that before. Just barley went through.

Looking foward to Thanksgiving games too. The Colts are lookin kinda slack latley. They barley won today's game.

[Nocturne]

Yeah, to think analysts aren't even putting the Colts in the same league as the Patriots now. I'm figuring the Pats affected their moral just a tad when they played them a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, Browns game was interesting. Tell me again why the NFL won't review fieldgoals through replay?

And LOL Rain, you jinxed the Redskins. XD

Yey Giants AND Jets one. I'm still stunned the Jets won. There's hope for Miami yet.

[aznxenocide]

Brown's game was crap. Jeeez.

Jets game was CRAZY. How'd that happen?

Jacksonville was awesome. Jones-Drew was AWESOME. You guys see that play where Shawn Merriman tried to blitz and Jones-Drew knocked him on his back? Frickin like, half a foot and 50 pounds smaller than Merriman...frickin BEAST.

[HELLA PINOY]

Lmao I saw that :D

No Blitz for you "Merryman" !!

[Rain]

the Cowboys crushed the jets, and the packers dominated the lions, the game between these two should be good.

current NFC playoff situation

Seahawks
Cowboys
Packers
Tampa Bay (I think)

wildcard- giants

still have a chance
Lions
Redskins
Eagles
cardinals

Any predictions on who will get the NFC wildcard

[HELLA PINOY]

Cowboys or Packers may win th NFC championship. I'd go for the Cowboys. I don't think Tampa can go any furthur this season since Williams is out for the rest of the season...although had a really good ground game last week against Atlanta...but...bah, lol

Rain, what you think about Washington and the Bucs tommorrow? lol.

[Vizard_King]

Lets hope that Washington can make up for their fuck ups last week (Pardon my french)
Least the Browns had an awsome win last week. I mean that kind of thing doesnt happen too often.

[HELLA PINOY]

I take it you saw the Brown's kick too? lmao.

[Vizard_King]

Hell yeah. That was one hell of a game, and one hell of a kick.

[Rain]

HELLA- my bro-in-law is a huge bucs fan, so that game will be fun:D

Redskins better win:yell or I might just :cry

Vizard_King- I'm pissed about that game too, but hey, at least the weren't pwned by the cowboys (for most of the game anyway:D)

[Vizard_King]

True. Least we put up a fight. Didn't do much good though

[HELLA PINOY]

Hey Rain...know what my new favorite word is? I-N-T-E-R-C-E-P-T-I-O-N !!! lmao. That was a great game tho. Great try by Wash...who got..."Washed out" :D

[Vizard_King]

Well, it happend again
Browns won
Redskins lost.
Horray and Damn it to hell

[Rain]

Damn redskins, 6 turnovers:eek: that is just pathetic. The redskins record should be 9-2 (only the cowboys and patroits games are acceptable loses:yell)

At least the seahawks won:D

Since the giants lost, the redskins still have a slim wildcard chance, but its getting unlikely

[Vizard_King]

Yeah,man. It's getting sad. First few games of the season, awsome wins
Later on, Lose win lose....And now Lose lose
They better get into the playoffs.
Though if somehow, though I highly doubt this, the Browns make it to the Super Bowl (Asking for the impossible, I know) I won't be as pissed

[vaizado]

Though their chances of going into playoffs are slim, the Bears sure played a hell of a game against Denver tonight. What a comeback.

[Nocturne]

Patriots are 11-0 and the Giants game was just awful. The receivers need Velcro or something 'cause the time I was able to stand watching the game, they kept dropping passes. But they can't take all the blame, Manning wasn't exactly Mr. Accuracy himself. XD

[Avi]

Great games today! Bucs took the win by intercepting the Red Skin's pass at the last second :nuts
Rams loss was LOOOL. They would've won if it wasn't for that fumble xD
Pats win again! w00t. I have a hunch they might loose against Jacksonville Jaguars though ;)

[HELLA PINOY]

That just about sums it up on my end, lol. Pats won, Tampa's last play kicked ass, and Jags are on a hot streak!! They may just bat the Colt nest week. Jags are 8-3 and Colts are 9-2 so its kinds evenly matched, lol :cool:

[Rain]

holy hell, the eagles almost won that game:eek: I though the eagles were going to get crushed, but they put up one hell of a fight (the onside kick in the first quarter was fantastic)

now in the NFC their are 6 or 7 5-6 teams:eek: each are "on the bubble", these next fews weeks are going to be great

[HELLA PINOY]

OMG the Miami, Pittsburgh game was horrible, lmao. :eek:

The field was just non playable. 0-0 for almost the whole game and the damn Steelers win it by a FG :yell:

[Nocturne]

Redskin's Taylor dies...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071127/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_obit_taylor

That's just tragic. He was so young too, only 4th year in the NFL I think.

[HELLA PINOY]

Damn that's just indescribable...I was watching the news about him as much as I could.

RIP Sean Taylor! One hell of a player!!

[Vizard_King]

Indeed! Here here! He well be missed.

[HELLA PINOY]

Wow, the Cowboys got new uniforms...very snazzy Romo, lol. This Sundays games are goin to be must watches for me.

Jags over Colts
Bucs over Saints
Pats over Ravens

[Rain]

HELLA- I thought those were Dallas' throwback jerseys:D

I still think Colts over Jags and Pats over Ravens, but I'm betting Seattle will beat the eagles, and the 'skins will crush buffalo

the cowboys packers game was a letdown:( Dallas is a good team and all, but I still don't think they are the best NFC team, but now it seems like everyone says they are

[HELLA PINOY]

..............I officially hate the Colts...:yell:

Jags almost had it if not for all those Bull-ish penalty calls in the red zone >_<

[Rain]

....
....

Damn redskins, if anyone saw the end of the game, then they can feel my pain:p

and the seahawks game is far too close *crosses fingers for a win*
EDIT- yay, they won:D

[Ulquiorra]

day-aaam panthers killed today

that's a rarity...

[HELLA PINOY]

Ya I saw the end of the Washington game :(

At least the Bucs are doin good so far. Mcown is great! He's like a Jeff Garcia clone, lmao :D

[Nocturne]

Saw the end of the Redskins game as well. That just capped off a sad week for them totally. I felt sad watching the game actually 'cause the players were just focused on Sean Taylor and with good reason. They really wanted to win this for him and I'm sorry it didn't happen.

Couldn't believe I thought the Giants wouldn't win. I switched channels 'cause I didn't think they'd come back. I've become used to them melting down this time of year.

And wow, the Jets really played well, I was quite impressed with them beating the Dolphins...wait. XDDD

[Vizard_King]

GOD DAMN IT REDSKINS YOU FAILED ME AGAIN!
Is it THAT HARD to get a WIN?
I'm Sorry I'm PISSED!

[aznxenocide]

lol@Jets.

I felt bad for the 'Skins too. If I were Campbell, I would've thrown a couple interceptions, just out of sympathy.

:(

In other news, Lofa Tatupu raped A.J. Feely. Hardcore. As did Sean Payton for the Saints. I mean...god damn. All he had to do was run down the goddamn clock, instead of having Reggie Bush fumble the ball. At least the Bucs were able to take advantage of that fumble.

Worst case scenario, Seattle loses to the Cards AND the Panthers. I think a win over the Ravens and Falcons is within Seattle's grasp, neh? And Seattle SHOULD be able to beat the Card's with our semi-revived running and bitching passing game. So we SHOULD be sitting on a nice 11-5 at the end. Nice to see the Bucs doing similarly well, Pinoy. We'll see you in the play offs. :p

[HELLA PINOY]

Nice to see the Bucs doing similarly well, Pinoy. We'll see you in the play offs. :p

yes...*twirls moustache* see you at the playoffs

I mean the Bucs got the Texans, the Falcons, the 49ers (Sunday Night Football Game with Madden action!!) and the Panthers which translates to blowout, blowout, blowout, semi-blowout, :D

[Rain]

Vizard_King- I know how you fell, and Gibbs must be kicking himself

xeno- that was awesome, tatupu had 3 interceptions, seattle would have to royally f-up to miss the playoffs

Nocturne- at the end of the game I was pissed at the giants for getting that touchdown. they sould have run out the clock and just taken a field goal, but no they gave the vears a chance to win the game:D

[Guildenstern]

Oh my gaaaaaaaawd, Ravens totally blew the Pats/Ravens game last night in the 4th. I root for the Bucs because I live in Tampa-- I'm kind of hoping the Pats don't have to play the Bucs, because then me and my Pats-loving friend will have to pretend to hate each other for a day. ;__;

Needs moar Jeff Garcia.

Ya that would just suuuuuck, lol. McCown looked real good out there. Like a Jeff Garcia clone, lol. They just about got their running game back now so they might just have a shot :D

Damn that Ravens game pissed me off :mad::yell

Last play should have been ruled a pass interference, but they we're pretty much screwed when the timeout was callen by the Defensive Coordiantor (who isnt by rule even allowed to give a timeout)...bet he's gettin some hate mail this week, lol

[Spartan27]

Is anyone else starting to hate Boston in general, first they have the Red Soxs who have become exactly like the Yankees except good, then they get the trio for the Celtics and now look unstoppable in the East, the Patriots are on a mission for world domination, and lastly even their soccer team went to the finals in the MLS Playoffs, Hey at least the Bruins still suck, at least I think they do?

[HELLA PINOY]

Hey guys. I found this little image as a little tribute to Sean Taylor. Feel free to use it in your sig or as and avatar for this week or so.

Thanks

[Haineko]

I can't believe that there are more than two Seahawks fans in this thread... that's highly unusual O.o

Anyways, go Seahawks!

Is anyone else starting to hate Boston in general

Yes.

first they have the Red Soxs who have become exactly like the Yankees except good, then they get the trio for the Celtics and now look unstoppable in the East, the Patriots are on a mission for world domination, and lastly even their soccer team went to the finals in the MLS Playoffs, Hey at least the Bruins still suck, at least I think they do?

I have an irrational dislike of East Coast teams in general, but maybe in this case it isn't so irrational. As for the Celtics, I thought that Ainge was just being Ainge again, and everyone "knew" that their lack of depth was going to kill them. The jury's still out on that prediction and they have yet to play the truly elite teams, but if they hold up throughout the season, it looks like they really do have a chance to win it all this year.

Haineko are you a Mariners fan? If so at least we can root for one team together, you stinkin purple mutt! Go the Green and Grellow Ducks!

As for the Celtics, hey when you have 3 legit stars in that conference you have a legitimate shot at a title, Garnett needs to get more aggressive for them though.

[Haineko]

(insert one of many Oregon jokes)

Although I have to admit, none of them are as catchy or succinct as "Huck the Fuskies." But yes, Duckie, I am a Mariners fan. I also happen to be a Blazers fan (sort of a long story). I guess that does give us common ground. Hooray for regional teams!

[HELLA PINOY]

mmmk we're getting kinda off topic ppl. This is NFL TALK. You wanna talk other sports make a thread :)

[Rain]

Yay redskins won back on thursday, they aren't mathematically out of the playoffs yet

Cowboys clinched their division, Packers theirs, and with a win the seahawks clinch theirs.

the giants game was great, I thought the eagles were going to tie it at the last second, but the eagles kicker just barely missed a 57-yarder:eek:

[HELLA PINOY]

How in the hella did Tampa bay lose to the Texans?!?! WTF?!?!? :yell

Anyways the Pats game is on. I like them...I just dont want them to have a perfect season, lol. Miami's also getting closer to....semi-greatness, lol.

[Sexta]

The Pats game is getting good. I prefer my games to be close. It adds more excitement. I didn't really like it when the Pats were dominating games and this is coming from a guy who lives in Mass.

The Dolphins are more exciting than the Pats. :D

[HELLA PINOY]

Ya the Pats better watch out when they face the Dolphins, lmao.

Now it looks pretty one sided. 31-13 Pats in the 3rd.

[Sexta]

Yeah, the game is pretty much over.

Pats VS Dolphins is Super Bowl material.

[HELLA PINOY]

lmao, Oh yeah!! 72' Dolphins that is!!

Jets is basically 100-0

[Lady Orihime]

HELL YES!!!

Seahawks beat the Cardinals 42 to 21! Clinching the NFC West title :yay

[Vizard_King]

Ah My bro should be happy his team won.
But what about the Browns? I missed it!

[Rain]

Lady Orihime- :yay the seahawks made it *high fives* I didn't get to see the game, but the score told me enough

Vizard_King- the browns won, it was somewhat close, but they beat the jets

Sexta- pats dolphins happens in week 16, it should be fantastic

[Haineko]

*celebrates*

Seahawks clinch!! It's great to have multiple Seahawks fans here ^^

That was the best game of the year, without a doubt. It was so much fun to watch XD.

[Vizard_King]

Hazza! Thank you for the good news, Rain!
Now we just have to wait for the Redskins to win next week

[HELLA PINOY]

hmmm...for some reason "Browns winning" still sounds new to me, lol.

Well if Garica can get back in the game thn they'll have a def win over Atlanta. Actually they dont even really need him for that game. Hell the whole team can sit this one out and just let the cheerleaders play it...and they'll still win it 50 - ............................3 XDD

[Vizard_King]

Go t' hell,Pinoy. The've won alot of games this season.

[Rain]

the falcons head coach, or i guess i should say former head coachc is such a pansy:D

he coached them for 13 games, won 3 and quit. and he said he was happy to leave (to coach college football) he just sucks all around

glad i'm not a falcons fan right now

[Spartan27]

And once again a college coach fails at the NFL level, (Butch Davis, Steve Spurrior, Mike Riley, Rich Brooks, and now Bobby Petrino). Personally I don't know why you would move from college to the pros. In college you have kids who just want to play the game, in the pros they are playing for a playcheck. You have more control over your program, if you are coaching at a big school, you are already being paid millions. Seems like a pretty nice job if you ask me.

[Sexta]

The Pats game was pretty boring today. I just played Bioshock during the 3rd quarter and watched the last 5 minutes of the 4th.

[HELLA PINOY]

Holy crapiloli, Mimai and Baltimore are tied in OT. Miami just might finally win one. Jax and Bucs killed today! :D

[Sexta]

Miama has the ball. OMG, will it finally happen? :eek: I'll laugh at the Ravens if it does.

EDIT: LOL!

[HELLA PINOY]

MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIAMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

I almost cried at the end, lol...not really ;) Finally !! lol...now if they can do the same against the Pats :D

Tampa Bay clinched the NFC South and Jags beat the Steelers. Great day :D

[aznxenocide]

lol, Miami vs. Pats game is going to be a joke. Unless, of course, the Dolphins are able to finish what the Eagles/Ravens started.

Upsets all over the place today. Panthers over Seahawks, Eagles over Cowboys (!!!! Romo with a 31.8 passer rating in the first half, TO with no more than three catches, massive pwnage), Jaguars over Steelers, DOLPHINS WIN...goddamn. What a great week.

[Rain]

Seahawks lost, Miami won, this was shaping up to be a bad day for me, but at least the skins won (keeping their playoff chances alive)

[HELLA PINOY]

You never know. The Jets game was not as bad of a defeat as most said it would be. Maybe the Dolphins can finish what everbody else started. >_>

[Vizard_King]

WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I knew that Miami would win.
I mean it's kinda of hard NOT to beat the team who lost to the Browns TWICE.
ANNNND GUESS WHO WON!
BROWNS,BABY,YEAH!
Dunno about the Redskins though. I can only hope for the best

[aznxenocide]

Redskins won too.

AP is a beast. How far behind LT's touchdown record from last year is he?

Oh yeah. Watched the Eagles/Cowboys game too. Massive kudos to Brian Westbrook for him falling down a foot from the end zone to keep the Eagles' possession and seal the win. Frickin selfless and laudable.

Although I feel sorry for fantasy football owners with Westbrook. I'd be pissed. XD

[Rain]

redskins won :yay, if they beat dallas they will be in the playoffs, and dallas won't have TO and no real reason to win the game, so the redskins have a good chance:D

and although it was a useless game the seahawks won too :yay

[Sexta]

The Ravens lost again. Not surprised.

Miami lost. No surprise either. Brady wasn't even serious anymore during the second half.

[Vizard_King]

The Browns did horrible, even for the Browns.
The Redskins owned the Vikings.
All the while I'm asking my Father,
WHY CAN'T WE (meaning the Browns) DO THAT?
F*cking Browns. And here I thought they would get a winning streak.

[Rain]

Vizard_King- the browns aren't out yet though right?

if the titans lose, the browns go to the playoffs

[Vizard_King]

Well there is SOME good news.
Lets hope for a Titan Lose

[HELLA PINOY]

Well Tampa bay took out just about every starter in the 2nd half, lmao. It was more like an exhibition. The game didnt really matter anyway since they're already in the playoffs, so it was a good thing they did so no one important would gt injured. The backups almost had it tho, lol. That wouldve been sad for the 49ers to get beat by the entire backup team of the Bucs.

[Rain]

alright, well tonights the big game, pats at the giants with a perfect season on the line

any predictions?

i'm going with the pats. they can afford to play their first string more, plus the want the perfect season:p

[Sexta]

Oh crap, the game's today?! :eek: I don't follow schedules so I just rely on people to tell me. Well, thanks for telling me now because I thought the game was tomorrow.

Pats all the way. Just gotta cheer for my home team.

[Rain]

yea, the game was originally on just nfl network, but the nfl told them to air the game on more stations because they want it to get better ratings.

so nationally nbc and cbs have the game also, and abc has the game in NY or something:D

Sexta- tomorrow has some important games too (redskins better crush dallas:yell)

[Sexta]

YEEEAAAHHH!!!!!!!:yell:yell:yell

Oh man! Good game.

LMAO @ the ref trying to imitate Moss' TD dance.

[aznxenocide]

HAHAHA

Yeah, especially how the commentators replayed that and everything. XD

Alright. So....

Redskins upset Cowboys - Redskins enter playoffs as 6th seed.
Titans lose to Colts
Browns beat 49'ers

First Round:

NFC:
Seattle over Redskins
Giants over Bucs

AFC:
Chargers over Browns
Jax over Steelers

Second Round:
NFC:
Packers over Seahawks
Cowboys over Giants

AFC:
Pats over Chargers
Jax over Colts

NFC:

Looking back at this, it looks really old...but I don't see any upsets coming except Redskins over Cowboys and Jax over Steelers.

[Rain]

Yea redskins will win (:hug's xeno)

My NFC predicitions

Redskins vs Seattle- close game, but the skins have the momentum
Giants will win against tampa

Cowboys vs Giants- close but the cowboys are better right now

Redskins vs Packers- damn, too close, lets say the redskins:p

Redskins vs Cowboys- RESDSKINS:yell

AFC-
pats vs colts

colts win

Superbowl

Redskins vs the colts:eek:

[Sexta]

Yeah, it's gonna be Pats VS Colts for the AFC Championship. It's a tough call because the Colts always give us trouble so I'm predicting either team will win by 3.

Super Bowl
Cowboys vs Pats or Colts
Cowboys lose

[Rain]

redskins won :yay :yay they're in the playoffs:D:D

and the crushed dallas today, dallas didn't even manage to get a touchdown

plus they only had 1 rushing yard

to bad the seahawks lost though:(

[Sexta]

Damn, the Redskins destroyed the Cowboys.:laugh

OMG. The Ravens snap their 9-game losing streak.

Watching the Colts game now...

[HELLA PINOY]

Its Kinda funny tho that the reds won by 21. I think tampa will beat the giants :p

[aznxenocide]

I wasn't watching the Redskins/Cowboys game, but were the Cowboys playing their starters? Like the Titans didn't allow a touchdown until the 4th quarter, but the Colts weren't playing any of their starters.

Seahawks 41, Atlants 44. Seriously. Wtf? Scoreboard looks like that of a high school football game.

Revising my picks.

Redskins over Seahawks.
Chargers over Titans.
Packs beat Redskins in a ridiculously close game. Oh Sean Taylor. R.I.P.

Weird thing is, we've already seen most of the matchups, except those in the wild card games.

*edit* Just looked at the box store. Lol @ the Cowboy's one yard of rushing. XD

And on ESPN:

"Ravens break skid with win over indifferent Steelers"

hahahaha

[Vizard_King]

I have one question for you all:
HOW ABOUT THEM REDSKINS?
Hell yeah

[Rain]

HELLA- yea, i think tampa has the edge, unless eli does as good as he did against the pats, then it could go either way

xeno- romo and barber played the entire first half, and maybe some into the third quater. plus the cowboys guy (the guy with the most catches this season) was in the whole game:D and the skins still pwned them:p

Vizard_King- YEA REDSKINS:yell too bad the browns didn't make it though:hug

[aznxenocide]

I'm just hoping the Seahawks have all four of their receivers. With, that I think we stand a shot at beating the Redskins. Redskins are HOT right now though. And..."the guy with the most catches"....you mean T.O.?

Speaking of Barber...you guys remember in the Cowboys vs. Pats game, how Marion Barber pwned like, 7 linemen/D-backs/tackles? What a frickin beast.

:p

[fuzzydemon]

I don't watch football. :D haha~

[Sexta]

I don't watch football. :D haha~
:eek: GTFO! :mad: NEG REP!

Nah, I'm just kidding! :p I couldn't neg rep you even if I wanted to. I already +repped you anyway. :hug
I wasn't really into football myself a few years ago, even when the Pats were becoming a dynasty.

This season was ALMOST perfect for me. If only Baltimore had beaten Miami, we'd have one team with 16-0 and one team with 0-16. Historic.

[aznxenocide]

Yeah, but remember how epically Greg Camarillo pwned the Baltimore safeties? And the expressions of joy on the Dolphin's players' faces...I wouldn't wish a 0-16 season on anybody. The shame and embarassment from that...I mean, goddamn.

[Sexta]

Redskins are finished. They got shut out for like 3 quarters. I thought they would make a comeback in the 4th but that thought quickly died.

I'm hoping the Steelers lose.

[HELLA PINOY]

How bout them Jags baby?! Hope tampa can do the same tomorrow. wouldnt it be something if two teams from florida played each other at the super bowl!

[Sexta]

"His hair was out of bounds!"
Major lol! Almost as funny as "He was giving him the business"

I'm gonna pull for Tampa in this game. I also want Chargers to win.

[Rain]

the redskins seahwask game was so tough for me, my two favorite teams is a wildcard game:(

I thought the redskins would win, and if suisham hadn't missed that 30-yard field goal they would have. that changed the whole tempo of the game.

at least I can still root for the seahawks
