i glimpsed the vikings offensive depth chart the other day and was simply appalled.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 23:14 (nineteen years ago)

The only way the Packt will go 7-9 is if they move to the CFL. Carson Palmer on one leg with some outcasts from the Mean Machine ran up 200 yards on them in a quarter last night.

The NFC North is by far the fugly offensive division. When the most exciting offense in the division is counting on the arm of Jon Kitna, you know you are in for some 13 to 9 football.

Whatever team has the best punt returner will make the playoffs, as all of these games will come down to either some fat dude picking up a fumble for a TD or some former XFL guy taking a punt return back for a score.

Prediction: I think this will the year John Madden finally pops the question to Favre.

This division has 1978 written all over it.

NFL PARITY!

IT'S FANNNNNNNTASTIC!

PREDICTION: TIES!

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

I would love to see a 5-5 tie.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

I would love to hear about a 5-5 tie. But not see it.

"This division has 1978 written all over it."

The sad thing is that there will not be that much snow in this years version of this division, which is one of the things that makes fugly low scoring football fun. They might as well put a dome up in Green Bay and be done with it.

this is the one true thread!

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

my thread (w.al & alma's) was just a vikings thread, but i guess a mod changed it?

Seahawks 9 Lions 6

There you go, that is NFC North football.

I am far more suprised that the Bears put up 26 than they shut out the Pakt. Keep in mind, they did get a kickoff return for a TD, that being total NFC North football, so the OFFENSE only scored 19 (four field goals).

You better have a good kicker, because these are not teams that punch it into the end zone. They get a fumble at midfield, a first down, then boggle up and hope that their kicker can hit one from 48 yards out. It worked for the Viks, almost worked for Deeetroit and Bears got one out of 30 back finally back from Favre.

― Earl Nash (earlnash), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 02:23 (nineteen years ago)

It definitely seems to be shaping up to be reminiscent of the old Black N Blue of yore..

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 04:48 (nineteen years ago)

man....the Bear are looking pretty fucking fo' real.

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 18 September 2006 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

... two games into the season.

Dude, if the Legend Killer wants to "drink a ton of beer and get completely obliterated," that's his bidness!

I find it pretty hard to believe that any baby would drink beer, even if in a bottle. I'm calling bullshit on that one.

The case against the Detroit Lions:

Eric Hipple
Chuck Long
Bob Gagliano
Rodney Peete
Tommy Kramer
Dave Krieg
Scott Mitchell
Charlie Batch
Gus Ferrotte
Joey Harrington
John Kitna

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Thursday, 21 September 2006 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

^That should be ERIK Kramer, not Tommy. Case closed.

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Thursday, 21 September 2006 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

laurence, how in god's name could you forget everyone's favorite ESPN C-team sideline commentator, ANDRE WARE ??

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 21 September 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Did he ever even complete an NFL pass?

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

The best part about that list: you could create a similar List Of Shame for the Bengills post-Boomer, and it'd also include Mitchell and Kitna!

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

Scott Mitchell will forever be burned into my brain as the guy who subbed for Marino against my beloved Browns and had a career game against them. On the strength of that performance he went to my other beloved (the Lions) and ruined that team.

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

sure, Ware completed a ton of passes ... TO THE OTHER TEAM!

(thanks, I'll be here all week)

the fact that Mitchell ever got another starting gig in the NFL still boggles the mind.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, Andre. RUN & SHOOT 4EVA

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

God maybe I should list all the ex-Lions coaches. Rick Forzano anyone? Anyone?

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

actually, laurence, the real walk of shame goes like this:

Don McCafferty
Rick Forzano
Tommy Hudspeth
Monte Clark
Darryl Rogers
Wayne Fontes
Bobby Ross
Gary Moeller
Marty Mornihnweg
Steve Mariucci

not a single one of them ever went on to coach an NFL team after the Lions got through with them.. (and McCafferty actually *died* midway through his first season)

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

ha, x-post

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

i always found wayne fontes kinda loveable...he looked like an extra from goodfellas.

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 21 September 2006 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

He's looking pretty good right about now.

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Thursday, 21 September 2006 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

How bad is your franchise when Fontes is the best coach on that list? Of course having Barry Sanders helped a lot. At least they didn't hire Art Shell!

― Ice Cream Electric (Ice Cream Electric), Saturday, 23 September 2006 02:21 (nineteen years ago)

That sleezeball Houston Cougar run and shoot also got David Klinger a Heisman and an NFL 1st round draft bust with the Bengals. At least BYU's pass happy offense put Steve Young in the Hall of Fame, Jimmy Mac won a Superbowl with the Bears, and the Detmers are traditional quarterback caddies for pro bowlers. I guess the difference is that clean mountain living instead of heaven, hell or Houston where your head coach splices porno into football game clips.

The most classic thing about the Wayne Fontes era is that the Lions would get off to a crummy start and then every NFL show was about how he was about to be fired, then they would win five in a row and get into the playoffs at 9-7. I swear that guy dodged getting fired for more years than about any marginal coach.

Bobby Ross was a better coach than a whole lot of guys that have been head honcho in the NFL.

― Earl Nash (earlnash), Sunday, 24 September 2006 01:26 (nineteen years ago)

I had nearly forgotten about Bobby Ross. The Lions have the lethal trifecta of bad owners, bad front office, and bad personnel. You could put Vince Lombardi, Bill Belicheck, or Pop Warner himself on the sidelines and the Lions would still win only 5-6 games. The worst mistake was drafting Harrington. Then on top of that your bonehead GM picks up druggies and headcases at wide reciever. Why does Millen still have a job?

― Ice Cream Electric (Ice Cream Electric), Sunday, 24 September 2006 11:19 (nineteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

more bad news in Packerville:

Robert Ferguson has something called a Linsfranc injury to his foot, which I guess can be career ending according to profootballtalk....and Ko-Ro just got busted by the man. Out for a year. hee hee

Shaun Rogers out 4 games for taking diet pills :( :(

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

diet pills? that's banned?

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

apparently so ... well, he *claims* they were only diet pills ... but yeah, some sort of prescription thingy he was taking that is on the NFL's banned list. sux.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

lolol

favre seems to be playing pretty well! maybe all he needed was someone to remind him to checkdown every once in a while.

― (9ò_ó)-o Q(^.^Q) (Adrian Langston), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, he's not playing badly, he just needs to control himself a little bit when he gets frustrated. I mean hurling the ball 98 yards to an interception...well it might break the defender's fingers but dude still has the ball.
