schefter and terrell davis just nailed the coffin shut on the giants' season. boo hoo hoo. they're right, we have no D at all. Still, fuck it.

it's pretty cute that the nyfg are 'we' to you

MIA @ NYJ - jets
SD @ GB - okay this is hard, i give SD the slight edge~~~
SF @ PIT - uhhh
BUF @ NE - ^^^
MIN @ KC - min i guess
DET @ PHI - philly
STL @ TB - tb mb
ARI @ BAL - baltisnore @_@
IND @ HOU - indy cmon dude dont even go there
JAC @ DEN - this is gonna suck, who even gives a flying dick about these dudes
CLE @ OAK - this on the other hand will be awesome; oakland
CIN @ SEA - i have no idea how the seattle offense has been playing so uh cinci i guess
CAR @ ATL - car but it wouldnt surprise me if atl won (okay it would a little)
NYG @ WAS - fukk the skins
DAL @ CHI - fukk all of these dudes i hope they both lose (chicago wins btw)
TEN @ NO - NO, it's the home opener dogg

ya those arrows are tyte i feel like such a fucken rube now

how could you possibly pick the jets?

cuz they're marginally better than the dolphins

jets are at "home"
dolphins are "crap"

no wai. and i hate the dolphins. but the jets are terrrrrrrrible this year.

xpost lol jets are at "home" CALLED GIANTS STADIUM

continuing this from W2 thread (man if only there was some kind of rolling thread)

The Rams have been disappointing. I figured they would do a bit better, as they played well in the first half of last year and then got hurt. The Rams are just not putting the ball in the end zone.

the rams were an interesting team 2 me 2 and i thought they might do something this year, but they were fucked as soon as pace went down. bulger can't even complete a five step drop now, which is kryptonite for that offense

uh dogg have u peeped the fins this year? they are two shitty teams but one is mb less shitty than the other and also happens 2 b playing at home, idk i think that is pretty solid rationale~

Jets can actually complete some passes.

"some"

washington injuns

is anyone else wayyy more fascinated by the bucs winning than the saints losing? i was sorta afraid of this, i could envision garcia and gruden meshing really well (yes homo) and maybe the defense getting its shit together slightly, this could be a 7 or 8 win team which is astounding to me

also kind of astounding - brees & garcia threw for abt the same number of yards but garcia was 10/16 while brees had something like 44 attempts. isnt grudens offense like based entirely on throwing into the flat??? i just thot that was weird~~

homo

21-11 in pick em.
And I steal your arrows.

Arizona vs Baltimore → Ravens, but a pair of TDs slip through OH NO
Buffalo vs New England → New England scores 69 points on purpose
Detroit vs Philadelphia → Detroit, Kitna with 300+ yards or a neck brace
Indianapolis vs Houston → Indy, but it's not a blowout
Miami vs N.Y. Jets → Miami by default
Minnesota vs Kansas City → Minnesota; Kansas City is in trouble
San Diego vs Green Bay → Green Bay is the upset pick; I want to pick bolts but I haven't seen anything in the last two games that suggests I should... GOOD TIMES
San Francisco vs Pittsburgh → Pitty Sing
St. Louis vs Tampa Bay → The other Saints get back on track
Cincinnati vs Seattle → Cincinnati
Cleveland vs Oakland → Oaktown 3-5-7, playing less over their heads than Cleveland
Jacksonville vs Denver → Don't know, don't much care... let's say jacksonville? No, Denver. Okay, neither.
Carolina vs Atlanta → Carolina; anybody want to guess what week Atlanta wins?
N.Y. Giants vs Washington → Washington and the FIRE COUGHLIN chants start today
Dallas vs Chicago → Dallas; I pick over on Sexy Rexy with two picks
Tennessee vs New Orleans → Gut pick with hometown boys, how bout some tennessee ti'aaaaaaaaaanz

By the time Jeff Fisher finally hangs his hat, he'll be up there with longest-tenured coaches surely. He just another 4 yr extension or something, iirc.

lol @ everyone pickin' ten

hay guys they're kind of a shitty team just fyi~

Vince gets time to decide if he wants to run or throw. Brees gets grass in his mouth.

Got one more win and a defense that stopped about three fewer touchdowns per game than kind of a shitty team number 2.
LOL NUMBER 2 SEE WHAT I DID THERE

http://www.thehogs.net/forum/images4board/camp/IMG_0566.jpg

hahaha Belichick on next week's game: "Buffalo presents some unique challenges."

;_;

Tirico: If one of two guys caught a punt last week, the Eagles win that game.
Barkley: If I didn't eat so much, I wouldn't be fat!

can we rename the board i love charles barkley

also kind of astounding - brees & garcia threw for abt the same number of yards but garcia was 10/16 while brees had something like 44 attempts. isnt grudens offense like based entirely on throwing into the flat??? i just thot that was weird~~

Joey Galloway YAC

What's just as wacky is Brees didn't start completing passes until the second half. All I saw are the stats though, don't know what was going on unless the Aints just kinda figured out that there will be no running game.

haha :( i feel like i should apologize or something. hey you never know with division games!!!!!

oh yeah i forgot, joey. okay it all fits now~~

no, it was nice of Belichick to say that shit with a straight face. also, I am taking a page out of brownie's book and predicting a Buffalol win.

ahahahaha Barkley is always awesome on MNF. last year he talked about how he never played football because "I'm not dumb" and he didn't want to end up braindead and all the while Theismann's in the booth and Tirico and Kornheiser are trying not to look at him and it's so awkward and amazing.

Arizona vs Baltimore - Baltimore
Buffalo vs New England - Buffalo (UNIQUE CHALLENGES!!!)
Detroit vs Philadelphia - Detroit, I guess. I might decide to be a Lions fan this year during the playoffs if they end up making it.
Indianapolis vs Houston - Colts
Miami vs N.Y. Jets - wow it's always a barnburner when these two get together. Jets
Minnesota vs Kansas City - Vikings
San Diego vs Green Bay - Chargers
San Francisco vs Pittsburgh - Steelers. If I don't root for the Lions in the playoffs, I will root for the Steelers and their hot, hot coach.
St. Louis vs Tampa Bay - TB
Cincinnati vs Seattle - Bengals
Cleveland vs Oakland - go Browns!!!
Jacksonville vs Denver - Jacksonville
Carolina vs Atlanta - Panthers
N.Y. Giants vs Washington - Giants
Dallas vs Chicago - Dallas
Tennessee vs New Orleans - Saints

i'm giving up on picking anything this year

U MUST!

"unique challenges" sounds like a 2002 techstep album

JAURON & LOSMAN PRESENT

UNIQUE CHALLENGES

A DRUM AND BASS MIX

over/under on the score of the cin-sea game?

if it's in the 80s or below OVER.

i'm starting deion branch this week in fantasy if he doesnt have 80+ yds and 2 tds ;_;

Arizona vs Baltimore - AZ bandwagon starts here
Buffalo vs New England - NE (UNIQUE CHEATING CHALLENGES AMIRITE)
Detroit vs Philadelphia - Detroit has to lose at least one this year
Indianapolis vs Houston - Colts
Miami vs N.Y. Jets - Jets could've won last week, they will not be denied this week.
Minnesota vs Kansas City - Vikings
San Diego vs Green Bay - Packers. There is nothing wrong with the Charger helmets. It's the pants, stupid.
San Francisco vs Pittsburgh - Steelers. ugh. Steelers are notorious for their slow starts. Not this year with a schedule like CLE, BUF, 48ers.
St. Louis vs Tampa Bay - TB
Cincinnati vs Seattle - Seahawks.
Cleveland vs Oakland - With Steinbach and Joe Thomas on the left side of the line, with Winslow, Jurevicious and Edwards as receivers and Lewis at running back this team will win and win again.
Jacksonville vs Denver - Denver eeks out another smugfest.
Carolina vs Atlanta - Falcons come together.
N.Y. Giants vs Washington - Giants
Dallas vs Chicago - Bears D wins this game
Tennessee vs New Orleans - Saints

Arizona vs Baltimore - Bal'mer
Buffalo vs New England - Cheaters
Detroit vs Philadelphia - Detroit, hopefully.
Indianapolis vs Houston - Houston in a shockah.
Miami vs N.Y. Jets - J-E-T-S
Minnesota vs Kansas City - Chiefsies
San Diego vs Green Bay - Angry Chargers
San Francisco vs Pittsburgh - Steelerz
St. Louis vs Tampa Bay - Angry Rams
Cincinnati vs Seattle - Seattles
Cleveland vs Oakland - go Browns!!!
Jacksonville vs Denver - Jacksonville, Florida
Carolina vs Atlanta - Panther Cats
N.Y. Giants vs Washington - Washingtown
Dallas vs Chicago - Chicago, with game MVP Rex Harrison
Tennessee vs New Orleans - Titans!

all I ever do is rewatch movies I've seen already. like trust and chinatown.

yah im pretty amped on croenberg right now i saw eastern promises yesterday and it sooo ruled

really? it is a terrible title tho.

oh man it was so awes

so so raw

i liked those eagles unis

that is crazy talk!

No, they were so bad! I'm glad game film was b&w back then.

they just don't look like Eagles colors. they look like Dolphins colors or something.

yah maybe - i like yellow things tho

i think im going existenz - thx for the help

lol ozomatli

im in favor of teams wearing different unis every week

lolzomatli

Deja vu all over again. The throwback unis threw me off at first... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_playoffs,_1995-96#NFC:_Philadelphia_Eagles_58.2C_Detroit_Lions_37

they are WASTING a truly dominant defense by not having a serviceable quarterback

lol otm

there's seriously a rumor out there right now that some of the falcons actually BEAT DEANGELO HALL UP after the game!!!!!!

i am on record all over this place as saying i don't think san diego is as good as pplz think they are! this is not to go against the patriots terrific play of the other night but i don't think the pats are THAT much better than they normally are, and in fact we do this every season so i don't know why i'm pointing this out.

-- the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, September 18, 2007 5:10 PM (6 days ago) Bookmark Link

this is proving to be pretty otm - the pats are probably http://bestmessageboardever.com/uploads/monthly_09_2007/post-1452-1189460592.jpg, and they're definately with indy as far as top two teams in the league, but they've also faced three REALLY REALLY SHITTY defenses in a row. it's clear that they're sweating a little re: how to compete with indy, they're built now for more explosive offense. and it looks great against the dregs of the league, but i want to see them go into pittsburgh or indy and win.

god i have so many boners 4 randy tho~

yah maybe - i like yellow things tho

^^^

anyway ya i agree, eagles throwbacks are ~*TYTE*~ imho. i love these olde tymey bullshits the modern unis are so gross~

yah ally's insight into the chargers is looking profound right now. but destroying bad teams isnt as meaningless as some would have you believe. seems indy and pitt are the other two good teams and the pats play both (and dallas too) - so they will be tested.

indy failed to cover 2 of 3 games

pats have cincinnati and cleveland before facing dallas.
i don't think i would say san diego's defense is "REALLY REALLY SHITTY". they're fucked on the sidelines but their defense hasn't been any worse than last year. their offense isn't unstoppable like it has been, teams so far haven't had to pass to get back into games and field position has probably been affected too.

i'd much rather go against indy's defense than san diego's. but i'd much rather face san diego's offense & defense than indy's o&d.

Eagles unis were great- i heard they wore those colors back in the 30's in honor of the large Swedish population. I think every week NFL teams should adopt a country and wear their flag colors.

god that pats/clevo game could be the biggest blowout this year

i'm looking forward to the monday night game @ cincy!

ok, sour ass grapes but making the kicker kick the game winning field goal twice at the end of a game sucks sour ass grapes. I can't believe that this is even allowed in our great land.

i'm waiting for the time the officials say that the coach didn't call it in time since the clock is not reviewable under current replay rules.

they're fucked on the sidelines but their defense hasn't been any worse than last year.

The Chargers allowed the sixth least points in the NFL last year. The defense has definitely been worse than last year.

btw, how about the return of kurt warner? eh?

Even God can't help the Cards on the road.

The defense has definitely been worse than last year.

37 yards per game more this year than last. defense is on the field more this year because the offense isn't sustaining drives. so i'm wrong, they are worse but not much worse and certainly not really really shitty.

the reaction in St. Louis when Warner blows his nose successfully is scary.

37 yards per game more this year than last.

Who on earth judges a defense based on yards allowed?

the nfl.

none of the stats is perfect, but yards allowed is better than points allowed at accounting for e.g. bonehead QBs who turn the ball over on their own 20...

i really really like the FO stats when it comes to defense. the SD defense is noticably worse just by looking tho, none of the tenacity of last year's unit, none of the pressure from phillips & merriman to make up for the lackluster secondary. the offense is more likely to get its shit together this year than the defense, i think.

VINCE YOUNG WINS FOOTBALL GAMES.

chris berman just said that brett favre's birthday should be a national holiday. i don't think he was joking.

i'm all for another day off from work to sit around and get liquored up. assuming i find work again.

lol @ everyone pickin' ten
hay guys they're kind of a shitty team just fyi~

I think the phrase I'm looking for here is "Hurgity Burgity Boo Penis Penis Penis".
Stay fly, canky.

Vince Young looked tough last night. Young's throwing style so laid back, it is like he is flipping a frisbee. If the guy is this good after 16 starts, he could turn into an absolute freak.

Did Vince Young have any nicknames at UT?

Honestly, the Titans could go 9-7 and could sneak in this year, but they look like a team that's gonna be worse than its record. They really need a solid wideout to start gellin'.
