NFL (week 7)
« on: October 25, 2009, 11:09:14 AM »
Thoughts? Predictions? Trash talk?

My Seahawks can't get a loss this week, they got a bye. Sigh. Not having the Seahawks means I gotta fish around for the best possible games. Colts v. Rams it is not, lol. I'm thinking Vikings v. Steelers should be really good. Bengals/Bears might be close. Dunno. Tonights Cards verses Giants should be a good game and in any case likely most of my fantasy football points will be determined in that game one way or another.

I guess we are about to find out what's what! FOOTBALL!  :cheersmate:

Eagles - Redskins would have the potential for being a good game if Washington didn't SUCK SO HARD LOLOLOLOL!!!!   :loser:

I kid I kid.  Despite what's going on in the season these NFC East rivalries are usually good football.  We'll see.

Sorry about your Seahawks.  What the F happened to Hasselbeck last week?  Y'all need a line that will protect him some...

I think Cards Giants will be a scorefest, lots of excitement.  I agree that Vikings Steelers should be good also.  Mendenhall will be tested for real.

The rest of the games...meh.

Here comes kickoff... lets go Vike's. I hate me some Steelers, lol.

Ya nailed it on the Hawks first try. HoFer Walter Jones is on the downside of his career and yet to play a game in 2009. First round pic a few years ago, Chris Spencer is a bust, they let Steve Hutchenson escape a couple years ago and a rash of injuries have the O-line in shambles. I expect and hope they use both 1st round pics on o-line and maybe the second round pic too if there is a good guy available. Maybe a free agent or two as well.

Well, y'all have a ton of dang weapons, I know that.  Get a line and all of a sudden JJ is a consistent performer and the passing game opens up a lot.

If it's any consolation, my boys lost to the damn Raiders.  Nuff said.

Nah, no one should lose to Oakland man. Not cool. heh

If your team is Philly I hope my man (ex-Seahawk) Leonard Weaver works out for ya. He's got a lot of potential and a wicked stiff arm. (he's Seattle teamates called it "the babtism")

Oops, Pitt just ended the puntfest with a FG, least that TD came back. Vikings better be looking for a new punter soon. Like halftime, lol.

Halftime or close for most of the one o'clock games.

Seelers had a real nice TD drive to go ahead 10-7. (farkers)

Pats' Tom Brady has a couple INT's but a two TD lead on Tampa Bay.

None of the other games are even that close. meh... to the halftime shows  :cheersmate:

Rivers and Jackson are firing on all cylinders.  Schaub continues dominating and Owen Daniels is just un-freaking-real.  Manning ate his Wheaties today.

How embarrassing for that first tackler in the second video you posted.  Tossed around like a baby doll...

Yeah, last week was no fun.  I mean, c'mon, Oakland.

Oh and I do hope Weaver works out long-term.  I believe they only signed him to a one-year contract though.  Westbrook is getting some age on him, and he's so injury prone.  At least McCoy looked great filling in for him.  A solid FB adds another dimension to their offense for sure.

Good guy, nice weapon. Sorry to see him go, and surprised. New coach and the new OC brought his own FB plus we drafted Owen Schmitt, I think to try and make him a Mack Strong clone. We shall see but I miss The Weav on screens and running the ball.

Man the Vikes blew a real nice shot from the two yard line a minute ago.

Well shite on a stick.

Crap tripping call cheats the Vikes out of a TD leading to a Favre fumble to a Steeler TD.

Fudge.

And after completing 11 passes, total, in the previous two games.  11.  Total.

Twilight Zone or something.

Eh?

All I know is my (second) home team have had the ball 6 times for 5 TD's and a FG. And after stubling week one against Denver and last week @Houston have put together some nice wins. (@GB, @BAL and against PIT) They are trying to bring back the "who dey".  :-)

Hey a win is a win. I'm in a giant fantasy league (16 players) and ended up having to use Sanchez as my QB (when Kurt Warner had a bye week) and the guy just killed me, LOL. (0.10 pts) Still. I think he will turn out to be a good one. He just needs a few years seasoning. The Jets are the only New York team in any sport that I don't mind seeing win. Glad your guys won. As a Seattle fan, I know more than most how hard it is to travel 3000 miles and put a good game together.

Redskins are so bad.   :tongue:  :loser:

I almost...almost feel bad for my NFC East rivals.  Then I remember how we got swept by them last year.
