CHI @ DET Bears
ATL @ GB Pack
SD @ MIA Kind of feeling fins upset
SEA @ NYG giants, i mean i don't think seattle even really has a chance here unless the giants spent the bye week eating ice cream or something (this is possible)
WAS @ PHI christ i don't even know, i would like to say philly but they're not playing with much confidence lately besides donovan. then again washington is always ready to implode. christ. i'm gonna say philly, and regret it!

TB @ DEN ...tampa. why not.
CIN @ DAL haha cowboys
BUF @ ARI buffalo
NE @ SF san fran! fuck it!
PIT @ JAX jags for sure
MIN @ NOLA vikings, because i guess someone has to win this game

wtf?? ok redo on 1st three
CHI @ DET bears because detroit is hopeless
ATL @ GB packers
SD @ MIA i was thinking of saying san diego but quite frankly they barely beat the RAIDERS so i'm actually going to agree with dolphins "upset"

^^^ this is not much of a redo is it

lol yes i think we had similar lines of thinking for those first three picks.

CHI @ DET -- NO ONE WINS (except Orton's beard)
ATL @ GB -- Aaron Rodgers: 83 TDs
SD @ MIA -- Kind of feeling that a fins upset will not happen in any conceivable way (which of course means MIA by six scores)
SEA @ NYG -- oh G I wonder...
WAS @ PHI -- GAME OF THE WEEK; McNabb will transubstantiate and lose on a Buckhalter fumble
KC @ CAR -- NO ONE WINS (except KC trainer)
TEN @ BAL -- WHAT LE SCHEFFRE SEZ
IND @ HOU -- David Carr
TB @ DEN -- Jay Cutler sez hi to the TB secondary
CIN @ DAL -- Jessica Simpson
BUF @ ARI -- billzzzzzzzzzzzz
NE @ SF -- please NFL don't hurt the Pasties

CIN @ DAL Cowboys
BUF @ ARI BUFFALO U MAD
NE @ SF Pats
PIT @ JAX Jags
MIN @ NOLA SAINTS THIS IS EASY

i think jake delhomme is kind of cute but i think that's the closest anyone here is to being a panthers fan

My understanding (which may be untrue) is that the people of Carolina don't totally grasp the Panthers, or the Hurricanes, or pro sports in general.

It's still really hard for me to accept the Carolina Panthers as a proper NFL team. There's just something so ... arenafootball2 about them.

Like they would've worked perfectly as one of the made-up teams in Any Given Sunday.

PACINO: "I'm gonna go coach for this new expansion team in Charlotte! The Panthers! ROWAR!"

wait there are reports that Al Davis is interviewing replacements WHILE KIFFIN IS STILL HEAD COACH

well of course he is

i still hold he will not fire lane kiffin because he's realized that it is far crueler to kiffin to keep him on staff.

man the eagles looked like shit last week but i don't think the skins are ready to win 2 nfc east road games in a row

remember how bad they looked against the giants, who have a worse D than the eagles probably but a way way way better D than the cowboys

this is why our man should continue to call for 76 yd field goals

He shd just forego punting, go for it on every 4th down and run a fleaflicker at least once every series.

It's like a game of chicken, but only Nnamdi Asomugha loses.

I AM STRAIGHT UP CLAIMING IT, WEEK 5 BOLD CLAM: THE COWBOYS ARE CLOWNS.

u all need to start adding LK@AD to the list of games every week and predict who will win... 76-yd field goal attempt vs. interview candidates while u still coach--best game in the nfl!!

remember how bad they looked against the giants, who have a worse D than the eagles probably but a way way way better D than the cowboys

depends on how beat up the eagles are. it sucks for them that now mcnabb is finally healthy the rest of their franchise dudes all get facebutt contusions

I AM STRAIGHT UP CLAIMING IT, WEEK 5 BOLD CLAM: THE COWBOYS ARE CLOWNS.

This is probably OTM in that they're the same team as last year and I fully expect a first-round playoff exit.

i think that t.o. becoming t.o. again might predicate that a little earlier than expected

^^

awwww shit kiffin's gone :(

Westbrook due back in for Philly will be a big boost. i didn't watch all of the game but the two times i did turn on Buckhalter dropped a pass and then got stopped on the goal line.

i like the Eagles for the Redskins game but - i think i said something similar in the week 4 thread - i think the Giants game was mostly teething troubles for the Redskins' O. Zorn is looking quite so startled by everything anymore and he and Campbell look like they're reached the same wavelength.

that division is going to be fuckin crazy. they'll all end up with the same record. under NFL rules, should this situation occur, each team has to choose a 'champion' and they fight to the death with flick knives.

Zorn is = Zorn isn't
they're reached = they've reached

i thought "flick knives" said "fuck knives" and was like O_O intense rules there

i think jake delhomme is kind of cute but i think that's the closest anyone here is to being a panthers fan

I love Steve Smith and Pepporz.

Aww, I'm going to miss Lane, if only because he fully grasped (and even embraced) the absurdity of his situation.

in my head, i always want to call him julius puppies

well, now i do too

It must be amazing to get fired over the phone.

CHI @ DET Bears
ATL @ GB Packers
SD @ MIA Chargers
SEA @ NYG Giants
WAS @ PHI excited about this game! i really don't know, but i'll say Eagles because that's what i want to happen
KC @ CAR Panthers
TEN @ BAL Titans
IND @ HOU Colts
TB @ DEN Bucs--this game might be good, too?
CIN @ DAL Cowboys
BUF @ ARI Bills. i'm getting sort of anxious for the Bills to play a good team so i can know if they're for real, but what even is a good team anymore except for the NFC east teams?

rip lane kiffin

lane change

Kiffin also opposed some of Davis' big free-agent signings such as wide receiver Javon Walker and, to a lesser degree, cornerback DeAngelo Hall, sources said. Kiffin also expressed public frustration that the team was not more aggressive in claiming other team's released players via the waiver process to strengthen the bottom of the roster.

However, a Raiders source said that Davis privately sent a letter to Kiffin after the season's opening-game loss to the Broncos, attempting to "document" that the coach approved of the offseason acquisitions. A source close to Kiffin described that claim as "fiction."

heaven needed a 98-yard field goal attempt

lane kickin

CHI @ DET chi

PIT @ JAX J.A.X.
MIN @ NOLA nola

Mortensen says Davis won't honor Kiffin's contract, like he did with Shanahan. can't wait to see what his basis is.

Reports I read said "insubordination".

Who is crazy enough to take that job at this point?

insubordination? lolll

Al Davis, earlier today.

http://www.leadershipnow.com/leadingblog/images/truth.jpg

Start the campaign, Matt Millen for HC of the Raiders.

God Millen and the Raiders would be perfect together. I'd move to Oakland and buy season tickets to watch that train wreck first hand.

kiffin would be smart to just leave the money and go. do not taunt happy fun al.

I think he should apply for a job with the Broncos.

if the dude has a sense in his head he is going to say f that and go straight back to college

Unbelievable weird catch by Berrian for the touchdown, wtf. This game has been amazing.

was it tom jackson @ halftime saying this has been one of the weirdest seasons ever..

ok so we've all been here dissing these teams as being horrible all game (i mean 2 punt returns for a td? the field goal block?) but MAYBE these guys are actually playing AMAZING. maybe this is the next level. running your dudes into each other in the end zone so one of them has to have the ball somehow.

i mean, guys? for real? that field goal block? what the fuck was that guy even doing back there that he caught the ball? where was he going to begin with?

Billy Miller got his bell rung for real.

So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe this is the future of nfl
tony kornheiser, get off the air

Fuck it guys, I am going to eat this entire garden vegetable lasagna AND have another beer.

Shit, good job by Miller getting up from that.

I wish Kornheiser would stop talking about "If you were going to write an article about this game..." stfu.

that field goal block was absurd i was about to txt you like VIKINGS DID SOMETHING KIND OF COOL
the other thing i was going to txt was JEREMY SHOCKEY IS ON THE SIDELINE AND HAS ORANGE HAIR

yes this game is a craziness.

seriously, how much money does shockey make that he can't afford to get a decent colorist who will not turn his hair orange? this is not difficult!

I would not be comfortable with this game coming down to Grammatica.

argh shut up kornheiser, shut UP

Gramatica is officially the most hilarious-looking NFL player, pound-for-pound.

OH NOES

I would not be comfortable with this game coming down to Grammatica.

oh joker.gif

btw grammatica? he looks like a dude that was on a roman coin in the bc times. what is up with his face.

robert meachem is having a terrible game. He was supposed to run a curl on third down and ran a streak instead. Oops. He's made so many mistakes.

this game is going to go to overtime isn't it. because god forbid i ever get to sleep.

Sean Payton has eyes like blue steel.

This game is over. Vikings win.

What a bag of piss. Fucking Saints.

this game was unsatisfying

idk i enjoyed it quite a bit

frerotte really doesnt look that old until the camera closes in on his face and you notice the grey stubble

i mean it was good. the way it ended was unsatisfying. to me.

did yall see the random NO fan dressed up like the joker?? i think it was a woman, they showed this person just before halftime

ya the ending sucked

all these random NO fans were dressed awesomely and i salute them

the joker was really very O_o ok if that's how you wanna go to a football game, i ain't gonna stop ya.

this game was so questionable but it did go far to prove my point: all divisions besides nfc east are full of straight up hobos.

no doubt

drew brees sez "it's probably one of the weirdest games i've ever been involved in"

Being a head coach has really aged Sean Payton, That guy used to look like a kid, now he looks really fried. Of course games like this one tonight are probably not helping his raccoon eyes.

game was super entertaining but neither of these teams are any good. was a competition to see who could make more mistakes and let the other dude win..oh shure we'll let reg bush basically return 3 kicks in a row. well sir you are quite the gentleman here is our laughable secondary coverage and kicking sideshow grammatica for your troubles

fuck ed hochuli. for real. i don't give a shit when he fucks with the chargers but new orleans has enough problems without him calling saints games. dunbar hit and aged gus gettin laid out made up for a lot of it tho

need gif of dunbar smash

also screencap of awesome forehead bruise from gus' postgame interview

ok everyone i was with was like "that is just what his face looks like" and i was like "that is a bruise, guys, altho come to think of it it is not like i have any idea what this guy looks like so maybe it isn't" so i'm glad someone else knew it was a bruise

cooleyblog update
Nothing could have been better watching those fans sulk on their way home after they egged our buses driving in, screamed "sucks" after every player on our starting offense was introduced, and then proceeded to talk shit to us all day. I rejoiced driving away watching sorry stragglers flip off our bus with tears in their eyes.

i thought it was funny when tony kornheiser was like "LOL WHO THINKS OF THESE DISPARATE STATS HOW WEIRD!!" because it was the closest anyone from ESPN has ever gotten to mentioning on air ESPN's baseless self-inflation wrt MNF

also they had to FOCUS GROUP (this was an official announcement!! about focus groups!!) to figure out that people did want to hear jaworski interviewing russel crowe during mnf games

the entire mnf staff should be fired
