Rolling 2007 Regualr Season thread

Browns vs Steelers on Sunday. Find big TV, watch game with Steeler fan buddy, come to blows, eat wings.

What are you doing?

Go Saints!

oh christ, Schef can you fix spelling in title please?

Should be a good game tomorrow! Luckily the Big Ten Network doesn't have the rights to this one.

As usual I'm pretty excited, and especially so when the Steelers go up 24-0 in the third quarter I'll get to see Brady Quinn come in and lead the Browns to a 27-7 loss.

I think we should leave that as Regualr season. Let all teh regualrs hang out.
Oh god I'm hyped for tomorrow night's game.

SO EXCITED YOU GUYS!

Jacksonville Jaguarls.

Leee goes for teh jugualr.

regualr's, mount up!

Jagualrs, duh.

STOP RUINING THE 2007 FOOTBALL SEASON WHO DO YOU GUYS THINK YOU ARE ROMEO CRENNEL

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor is still coping with the sudden exit of quarterback Byron Leftwich, his best friend on the team.

“It’s a dog-eat-dog business,” Taylor said. “We’re living in the belly of the beast, and sometimes that beast has to regurgitate itself."

o.O

beast otm

Oh good, maybe he'll suck and Del Rio will put in Jones-Drew for a majority of the carries!

If he does, expect Greg Jones to get the goal line carries lol.

no no no no no guys this is not how we do it around here and you all know this.

MATT LEINART'S YEAR GUYS 2007 week one shit talk etc.

hey chill out tomboGRINCH!!!!!! we can have both imho, i like the rolling threads in general bcz it cuts down the amt of time you have to spend wrestling with the search engine like it is a furious pack of voles

I'll be at the Browns/Steelers game, the Browns/Ravens game, the Browns/Bills game, and the Browns/Seahawks game. And this year I bought a big fat grill that cooks steak and shrimp and boiled potatoes. I'm really psyched to use it. And I've got a new football. And I actually bought tickets when they went on sale this year instead of like in years past when I missed the on sale date and had to resort to paying like $100 a ticket on Ebay. Man, I need to get a PSL. GO BROWNS!!

That said, I still think Steelers -4.5 is the lock of the century.

I picked Cleveland in my survival league. LOCK

7 HOURS

guys i cant believe it's here already!!!!!!!!!!!!

I KNOW I CANCELLED DINNER PLANS FOR THIS SHIT!!!

IT'S BEEN SO LONG I'VE FORGOTTEN THE RULES OF THE GAME

HOW MANY FORWARDS CAN EAGLE A WICKET???!?!?

I see Manning is doing his usual choke job

:P

NBCHD IS BLOWING MULTIPLE RANCID COCKS RIGHT NOW

DAVID R WHERE HAVE U BEEN

uh oh TD

guys shouldn't this be in the week one thread?

but where is Chicago Kevin

I know, right?

I haven't seen him in months. ;_;

i'm eating a gigantic steak right now. CK, this one is for you :'"{

BROWNIE I HAVE BEEN BLOGGING

and I just can't access ILX via work (which is actually good for my well being)

btw NBC HD is back on my good side :)

Wasn't CK just on a thread bemoaning the fact that he was doing a fantasy draft?

Maybe he got lucky! :D

(no more smilies)

That tenderized fried chicken thing looked fantastic.

So am I to understand that if I want to watch NFL on NBC this season, I'm going to have to endure that smug asshole Keith Olbermann?

also - speaking of smug assholes - nice td Colts even though I hate you

So am I to understand that if I want to watch NFL on NBC this season, I'm going to have to endure that smug asshole Keith Olbermann?

If you can't change the channel during halftime, yeah.

lol at folks like me who picked that game to be the SB XLII preview

UGH

I am feeling pretty good about my Saints not making the playoffs prediction.

i cannot fix the error in thread title, mods have no ability to edit posts for christ knows why :(

wow...i did not expect last night...it was like "Hey..um...yeah everyone that has a big raging boner for Baltimore or San Diego or New England, we did kinda..you know...wanna remind you that we, like, won the FUCKING SUPERBOWL LAST YEAR....so, you might still wanna keep an eye on us."

i like the colts mostly cuz i love tony d. from when he was with the vikes, but love 'em or hate 'em, i'm not sure anyone ever has executed such a precision long passing game as manning and his current tandem....it's amazing to watch.

yeah it's pretty impressive, absolutely insane. but the real story is colts' defensive lockdown and/or saints' offensive wtfness.

yeah i was shocked! there's a whole bunch of kinda no-name dudes on that defense esp. after some of the defections but damn they looked great...plus they made that one former colt secondary dude (can't remember his name) just look like an idiot

David

Schef is your moderator title strictly ornamental? x_x

yeah, josh david was eaten alive.

*insert bill paxton freak out from alien(s?)*

where was the pressure?

the nfln postgame was basically dominated by Deion's lecture on how much it sucks to be Jason David right now.

ah. deion drawing from the memory banks re: his stormy tenure in washington. what a mutt.

Modz have had neutered powaz (no post or title editing, now the sole purview of admins) ever since ILX 2.0 or whatever, thanks to one Jay Dubz. All they can do is bring the ban-hammer down or delete threadz.

;_;

anyway 48 HOURS

yall see why i'm so pessimistic about the pats now???????? >:(

when madden asserted pregame that this was going to be a nonstop scorefest FUCK DEFENSE i knew it would be a boring game. i went to bed at halftime, did i miss anything KEWL

Modz have had neutered powaz (no post or title editing, now the sole purview of admins) ever since ILX 2.0 or whatever, thanks to one Jay Dubz.

okay totally the wrong place for this but how is it jon's fault that ilx is run by some fucking limey fucktard assbaskets who can't do anything right

not to mention the pats have to play the Browns this year. DOUBLE WHAMMY.tif

it was a weird game for me because they are the main rivals of my two fav teams, but at the same time i am rooting for peyton a little bit so the bradypeyton argument can die forever. also it would be great if indy was so dominant for the rest of the season that the pats become underdogs & sneak up on everyone, which is more satisfying than ppl being like "*shrug* give it to new england i guess"

how did I miss that the pats were your other favorite team? what you missed in the second half was Indy totally embarrassing the Saints. poor Drew Brees.

i was being lol funny in my post but does this mean the pats have to play the AFC North? Pitt, Cinci and Baltimore?

Brady > Manning, now and forever.

Just watch, you'll see!

who are you? that is false, btw.

LOL @ Brady post.

mb it's cuz i am usually more interested in hating on other teams :[ i wuz born in/family is from boston, but i've lived in atlanta most of my life. my brother is 7 years older than i so he is more of a northerner than myself; i root for atl teams a little harder than boston ones and vice versa for him~

are you from buffalol btw? how did you become a BILLS fan!

Profiles in courage: TEH LONG-SNAPPER.

I am from Buffalo(l). I was 11-15 during the Super Bowl run. that's pretty much the whole story, traumatized in my formative years.

ha, yes, my children are going to get an education first, and learn about the most important athletic skills second: kicking, punting, long snapping, and catching knuckleballs.

of course there's probably about 800,000 other clever bubbas out there with the exact same idea

That article is odd.

" They are a unique breed. For one thing, most are abnormally down-to-earth guys.

After finishing an interview, Indianapolis Colts long snapper Justin Snow thanked a reporter for being interested enough to talk with him. When Condo was mistakenly addressed as "Joe" instead of "Jon" he simply said: "No problem, just please make sure you spell my name right."

Some have reputations for being quirky. Jennings, a deep thinker who takes a holistic view of maintaining his body, invariably is described as "eccentric." New England's Lonie Paxton, a Sacramento State product, made a snow angel after the field goal that beat Oakland in the 2002 Tuck Game.

Binn is gossip column fodder for being romantically linked to Pamela Anderson.

"We're friends," Binn said cryptically. "I guess it's just part of the NFL experience. Doors open that you never would have expected.""

Also, WTF at Indy's amazing pass d and the saints inability to more the ball on the ground. Indy with a solid defense would be terrifying.

catching knuckleballs

The Browns used a draft pick on a long snapper when Butch Davis was coach. pretty much every spot on the had been filled with A+ STARTERS WOULD START AGAIN and the only thing missing from a super bowl ring was a long snapper.

long snapper sounds like a coastal salt water fish

I'm pretty much drunk right now.

Line forms after Doug Mirabelli.

I READ RICK REILLY TOO

guys why is Monday Night Football starting at, like, noon this year? I'm teaching a class all fall that meets exactly when MNF airs. ;_;

also I couldn't find the old MNF thread. Should we start a new one?

yes!

HOW MANY FORWARDS CAN EAGLE A WICKET???!?!?

norv turner wants to know!!

so I went over to Football Outsider and there are at least three guys on the staff picking the NYFG to get the first pick of the 2008 draft ;_;

If ever there was a game where the Giants would've liked a quantum leap style do-over...

steelers-browns - tomlin looked like larry fishburn in boys from the hood, all cool and collected on the sideline

romeo looked like bookman from good times

Have you heard about NFL security busting the Patriots filming the Jets' coachs hand signals and audible calls? NFL security confiscated the camera and film. The Hoodie is the Dick Nixon of head coaches. I bet that freakin' Moss wasn't even really hurt that bad in the pre-season as much as they did not want anyone to see how they were going to use him.

oh jared lorenzen it is so on

i love when ed hochuli gives himself respeck knuckles before his first down gesture

well, i'm pretty sure, say, rodney harrison doesn't take as many training camp reps as the younger guys. it's smart to not work moss too hard in pre-season.

man i prefer threads for each week, screw this rolling reg season thread action.

then make a week 2 thread! i dont see why we cant have both at once, pluralism is the american way

dude week 1 isn't technically over yet! 2 monday night games tonight!!!

I bet ade didn't even know that

this game is mad gay

no cable no homo

aidsy only likes football for the hunky thug dudes.

that's racist

what, white dudes can't be thugs?!?!? what about kid rock and tommy lee?!?!?!?!?!?

Is Tony gonna shut up about the $40m any time soon?

Road Runner foot blurs?

so how those games going tonight?

Kazmir is shutting out the Red Sox on 5 hits (9 Ks). :D

WRONG BORED, DUDE

I DID NOT KNOW THAT

what thread are we using :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ :/?

well I didn't even realize there were two Monday night games tonight. yay!

LOL REFS ARE DRUNK

yeah wtf was that about?

oh my god this fucking game. is the ball made of butters?

poor boller. he HAD a touchdown before drunky mcref took it away! now he's gonna be called a jerk ;_;

lol @ "we have to get ready for cleveland"

The INT was totally Heap's fault, but no one will remember that in 24 hours.

oh Leinart

oh hey some more interceptions

omg@giant Bill Walsh Tshirted fan

Monday Night Butterball

Is it possible that Mike & Mike (& Mike) are actually worse the real MNF team? I'm thinking about putting the tv on mute and just listening to some ZZ Top.

that is basically always the better option

the only time commentary seems necessary is when your ENTIRE FIRST STRING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL gets hurt and may/may not be out for the entire year or hey maybe just a month or two oh fuck it

even then, the commentary wasn't particularly illuminating last night.

:( Kevin Everett

that is the other time it is important so you at least know if a dude is still breathing. I was thinking about him as soon as I posted like "man what am I acting up about it's just a season, Everett might DIE"

God that story. This fucking sport.

okay, are you kidding me, Cardinals offense? get it together.

MATT LEINART: "Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit, - Oh well, guess I'll just run it in." *POW*

Matty must be disappointing Mr. Manning something fierce.

Mike & Mike were just terrible.

whoa insanity

The end of the Ravens/Bengals game was a complete travesty.

Yeah Billick's an idiot is your problem there. They're going 0-2. That team is going to fall apart.

is the ball made of butters?

BENSINGTON BUTTERS

i went to bed b4 the AZISF (the aztecan god) game really was in gear but i heard a minute of M&M and was all like "...wait... are those the fucking espn morning radio hacks?" i cant believe THAT'S their b-team.

Mike Ditka's speech is, like, permanently slurred. who thought it was a good idea for him to be a commentator?

The Browns traded Charlie Frye to the Seahawks for some reason.

???????????????!!!!!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/2007/09/11/extra-points/5467/#comment-259532

It’s all part of the Bellicheck master plan. Step one, get a head coaching job in Cleveland. Step two, create a QB controversy. Step 3, get fired and return to old job as DC for your mentor. Step 4, get selected as next HC for that team, but quit immediately and switch over to division rival. Step 5, win 3 Superbowls.

holy shit, this means Crennel will be the next coach of the Buffalo Bills.

I'm probably having my tenth nervous breakdown since 1999 but for Frye to start the opening game and then be pulled in the 2nd quarter and then traded two days later is simply amazing.

BRITNEY IMA COMING TO JOIN YOU

btw, can i just admit that i get super stoked whenever i see the new "this is football" NFLN commercial with belichick at the end, soooo badass

i went to the nfln site to see if it was online (no dice) and, well, i thought this was worth noting~~

never in the history of nfl fandom has a man forgotten his home team so quickly.

eisen's eyebrow is freaking me the fuck out

BEHOLD THE EISENGAZE

the image of the eisenschefter mecha is still the most lol thing to me ever

stence who u mean

i mean u, u fair-weather falcon!

irl adam schefter=
http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/2530/JoseCansec_Grani_3229291_400.jpg

that picture of eisen is like the most fucked up picture of a person ever. who the hell does he think he is?

Craig Kilborn

that's doing blue steel

stence i watched every minute of the min-atl game! no non-fan would subject themselves to that

that's = he's

"that" seemed appropriate tho.

didn't say you were a non-fan, said you were fair-weather.

same thing, captain backpedal!! a fairweather fan is one who abandons their team when they suck, while i am clearly supporting MAH BWOYZ~

1. that's not a backpedal at all, 100% consistent.
2. week 1 you watched all the game, big deal. i challenge you to watch every minute of every falcons game this season, then i will stop calling you fair-weather.

dude hstencil, I think Ade's been watching all the Falcons games all season for a while now. /cap'n-save-an-ade

I challenge you!!

ade gets up to pee, misses a down, does not have tivo, the end.

lol

although timing pee/getting a beer breaks is a serious issue!

there is only one solution

the NFL should market piss bottles

being tied down would really fuck w/ your having to pee, lk

the NFL should market piss bottles

this will do in the meantime-

ilu lk!

i challenge everyone here to use a ravens helmet as a toilet for every single second this season.

this is the rolling REGUALR CHALLEGNE thread now!!!

i can only assume the lack of bears talk is a mercy fuck because they are in trouble. cedric benson looks weak though better than rahsaan salaam or curtis enis. rex grossman looks worse than last year (should have picked up daunte!). favorite quote of the year so far, thanks to dr z:

San Diego LB Matt Wilhelm on the instructions his position coach Ron Rivera gave about trash talking to Rex Grossman: "He told us that Rex was kind of a mental midget so you can get into his head and create that doubt."

I came here now specifically to post that Matt Wilhelm quote!

gahahlkahgaHAHAHA HOLY SHIT that is so great. i swear i would root for the bears so hard if it wasnt for rex, he just ruins it all 4 me :(

lol stence is this fukkin soviet russia or limeyworld or something, guilty until proven innocent? the whole "you havent proven yourself yet" thing only works if the person is already under suspicion, but the only suspicion u providing is that i haven't proven i'm NOT fairweather! that is some str8 crazy pills shit my man~

also arent you the dude who picks a new team to root for every year

ahahaha that Wilhelm quote! I swear Grossman looks like the dimmest man alive.

I am working on being more of a Bears fan so I don't feel luck such an asshole in Chicago bars on Sundays. I'm trying to just concentrate on Lovie Smith.

1. cankles, you are already under suspicion, c'mon.
2. no, saints are my team dude. who are you, sean agnew?
3. when your team goes 3 and out every time they get the ball, plenty of time for pee breaks. wtf it's like some people on this thread have never even watched football.
4. which makes them even more suspect than cankles!

i challenge i love nfl!

but omg you don't want to miss the peyton commercials!

man fuck that shill

"the NFL should market piss bottles"

-how about lisa nowak-endorsed, logo-emblazoned depends?

http://www.mercextra.com/blogs/buzz/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/ditka.jpg

for fuck's sake omar

"kind of a mental midget"

HAY GUISE I'm posting from inside Rex Grossman's head!

gahahlkahgaHAHAHA HOLY SHIT that is so great. i swear i would root for the bears so hard if it wasnt for rex, he just ruins it all 4 me

I feel the exact same way. Plenty to cheer for on that team but Rex ain't it.

My wife insists he looks like a 'date rapist'

he looks more like a date rapee

he looks more like a date rapee

Now if I could only find the post where I predicted a Pats 16-0 season and was called 'crazy'...

:)

nah that's not crazy - i def recall at least one sportswriter (prob si.com) saying after spygate.. oh shit, pats going 16-0 now

Brady > Manning, now and forever.

You are every braindead Count-The-Rings mainstream media asshole riding the Patriots' cock since Bledsoe had his lung punctured by a broken rib, and you should be totally proud for jumping on the bandwagon the one year that Brady actually outperforms Manning, which just so happens to coincide with Brady finally getting WRs worth a damn (including a previously underperforming world-class talent) and Manning having his #1 go down for half a season. Have some cake:

http://www.cakedot.com/files/Bride675penis6-9-06.jpg

sounds like someone's butthurt...

David R, it's gonna be a sad, sad super bowl for you this year my friend

And I can't wait to see the Titans upset the Colts tonight...

attn nfl: DO NOT KICK IT TO HESTER

LOL

srsly how hard is this to figure out by now.

I hope Vince Young stays hurt - Kerry Collins is doing everything Vince is supposed to be doing.

Take THAT, Peyton!!

and Cleveland Browns!!!!!

I conversely hope that Vince Young is completely healthy!

Thanks Indy, you lost to the fucking flaming thumbtacks you stupid jerk butts

aw brownie. :( I'm sorry!

I dunno. The whole season was crazy but I thought CINDERELLA.

Thanks HS

:P

I would've given cankles left one for a 10-6 record.

now we're left with his right one

:[

hey, i was rooting for the browns all the way! i'm pissed that shittyass tennessee gaybabies are queering up my playoffs.

Sad Brown eyes.

It's pretty rough to miss the playoffs at 10-6.

I wish I was Albert Haynesworth right now just so I could say "Say it to my face, cankles. Just say it to my face."

Ha!

Seriously, though, TN deserves to be in the playoffs.

Football season is ridiculously too short. :(

Tenn deserves to be in; they also deserve to lose in the first round.

No way - they have a debt to repay the Chargers - remember December 9th? A day that will live in infamy among Titans fans...

If you can't win 10 you really shouldn't be there - ie 'Skins & Bucs.

Dude, I'm a titans fan and it's far too soon. Out on their ear.

No way - they have a debt to repay the Chargers - remember December 9th? A day that will live in infamy among Titans fans...

The Titans absolutely should have won that game, but I don't see them winning in San Diego. If the game was in Tennessee I'd give them a shot, but not on the road. Their first-team struggled to hold off Jim Sorgi and a lot of dudes I have NEVER EVER HEARD OF. (Lawton? Aromashodu? Dawson? Also, who is like every single dude on their defense who isn't named Bob Sanders, Jackson or Brackett? Are any of those guys any good?)

re: skins and bucs

i think it's considerably worse for a division winner to go in w/ 9 wins than the lower wild card seed.

After the Baltimore Ravens' lengthy search for a starting quarterback in 1999 concluded with the underwhelming signing of free-agent journeyman Scott Mitchell, then-rookie coach Brian Billick attempted to allay the concerns of unimpressed fans by self-assuredly proclaiming: "Trust me, Baltimore, I know quarterbacks."

Those came to be infamous words in Baltimore, where Billick spent the ensuing nine seasons demonstrating that he knew very little about how to fix the Ravens' chronic shortcomings at the game's most critical position.

This is ridiculous:

“His head is, not like flighty, but he's got so much going on up there,” center Nick Hardwick said. “I'd like to be in his brain for a little bit. You can see him walking around almost bumping into things. I think he just sees routes and stuff up there. It'd be a trip to be in there for a while – like 'Being John Malkovich.' Being Norv Turner.”

Much of San Diego was fixated this season on how Turner so often looks like he doesn't know what's going on, as if he is caught in a maze he can't navigate.

The truth is Turner notices pretty much everything and is at least two steps ahead of most other people around him. He sees things they don't, knows things they'll know later.

lol norval fan fic?
