Are ya ready for some football?!?!?

[darien87]

All right, lame-*** pre-season is finally over!! Let the trash-talking begin!!!

I can't wait to see my Chargers whoop up on the Bears this weekend! I think it will be a close game, but I honestly don't think Chicago can match up with us on both sides of the ball. Their defense will give us some problems, but the Chargers just have too many weapons, (LT, Gates, VJ, etc.), to stop them all. Grossman will probably be his unpredictable self, plus having the 2 Shawn's in his face all day long will blow his confidence.

I think the deciding factor is going to be special teams. Our kick coverage tends to completely blow, and if we let Devin Hester run all over the place, it could end up being a very long day.

I think this might finally be the Chargers year, (although I was sure last year was our year. Damn you Marty!!! :mad:). I can't wait to see if my boys can finally win the big game.


Who is your favorite team and what are your predictions for the season?

[Buckeye_Nut]

C'mon..... you're just setting yourself up for disappointment because we all know Marty will choke once the playoffs arrive.

HeHeHe

As an Ohio native who grew up cheering for the browns (and also as a Kansas City resident) during Marty's tenures.... I know all too well of what I speak.:)

At least your team will play well pre-January. I can't say the same for my Brownies.

[Joe Schmoe]

No, I am not ready for some football. Thank's for asking, though.:)

[stratman]

Well another soon-to-be-dismal season for the Dolphins, what's new. Maybe, just maybe, they'll get more than a yawn from me.:D

[djk12587]

Not that Norv Turner has a much better record, we'll see.

[darien87]

Well another soon-to-be-dismal season for the Dolphins, what's new. Maybe, just maybe, they'll get more than a yawn from me.:DBetween the Fins and the Pats, it's like Chargers- East over there. Cam Cameron is your coach. You guys have Cleo Lemon and just picked up Greg Camarillo and Lekkerkkkkerkkekrkerkekrker.

[annunaki]

Well being from Packer country, I am waiting to see if Favre has another season left like the ones from his MVP years. I am hoping he can break Marino's touchdown record in the first three games. That way they can concentrate on winning some games. They were starting to look decent toward the end of last season. The running game is looking like the question mark right now. They need to have a ground game to take the heat off of Favre.

It is crazy, my sister-in-laws (17 year old twins) have never known another quaterback in Green Bay. Favre has played every game they can remember. Kind of amazing when you think of it.

My hopes are for them just to make the playoffs.

I hope so. I don't know what it is but I can't stand Dan Marino. Come to think of it, I don't care for Elway much either. :)

Montana, great quaterback one of the best ever. Accuracy.

Montana, great quaterback one of the best ever. Accuracy.

Brett needs just:

7 touchdowns to be #1;
2 wins (as starting qb) to be #1;
136 passing attempts to be #1;
about 4000 passing yards to be #1; and
4 starts to be #2 (consecutive starts).

He's in some real standout company. Then he is #1 in all the important records (except consecutive starts). Yes, Montana was great to watch. Also, although Brett is a southern boy with property down there, I doubt if you'd ever find him pitting some 40 dogs against one another (and financing it), let alone defending/mitigating that stupid act. He's never lost his ideals, morality or roots, unlike some current pros out there (including past coaches).

I REALLY hope this post was a joke...Marty is long gone from SD. You may have to turn in your man-card for that oversight Buck...;)

I am a Packer-backer all the way babee!! Our Offense will be worse this year, but our D could border on dominating, so our record could be better, but the games will probably be less exciting.

If our O-line isn't dominant most of the time, it could be a long season for Brett...not having a reliable RB behind him is really bad, imo. I'm more worried about proper blitz pick-up than I am about actually running the ball.

The consecutive games streak could be in jeopardy.

Oh well. I love NFL football. Go Pack!!

By the way, how the hell do you get "Farve" from "Favre"? The V is before the R dammit! :D

Not completely. Maybe it was the Isotoner commercials, or the fact he couldn't win a Superbowl. :)

We used to have 2 NFL teams here in LA. Having said that, I am a Browns fan thanks to "the drive" by John Elway. I might like the Raiders again if Alzheimer Al Davis moves on to a better place along with the Rams' Georgia Frontiere. Thank god for USC and UCLA we have college football to watch and IMO more exciting than the NFL. Go USC!!!!

Amen!

The Badgers looked a bit shaky this week, but UNLV always plays them tough. Badgers WILL win the Big 10. What is going to hurt them though is if Michigan continues to lose and OSU loses before they play (the Badgers) It will not do much for Wisconsin's hopes of getting into a Major BCS game, if not the title game. Everyone knows that the pollsters do not like Wisconsin. They don't care much for the BIG-10 either with the two obvious exceptions (Michigan and Ohio State).

EDIT: just don't mention my Giants (BAD MANNING)

[annunaki]

The Packers offense looked really bad this week. We need our line to buck up and block not only for the running game but to keep defenders off of Favre. His consective start streak will end soon if we do not get better protection. If it were not for special teams, the Pack loses this one. The Defense did do pretty well though for the most part.

[annunaki]

How about the resurgent Randy Moss? He had quite the game.

Adrian Peterson had a big debut in Minnesota as well. I wonder if he can stay healthy to be a regular contributor?

[darien87]

Well, my Chargers won. But it wasn't the butt-whoopin' I was hoping for. It was an interesting week one for sure.

I hope Everett of the Bills is able to recover from that spinal injury he suffered. What a bummer. But that is exactly why I feel that football is the only professional sport where the ridiculous amounts the players make is even remotely justified. You just never know. Any one play can end your career and totally change your life. He'll be lucky if he ever walks again.

[Nomo]

Yes, but special teams and offense looked sweet! Favre was...well Favre. No one else can do it like him. Without a serious running game (who also sometimes serves as a good blocker as well as general distraction and annoyance), we do need to step up with rec and te positions. Driver's great. But we cannot expect to win many games w/o offensive points (not just special teams). Go Pack!

[Alamar]

Well my worst fears about the Falcons seem to be coming to fruition .... at least we should get a decent draft pick :(

Hopefully GA Tech can have a decent year without the huge fall-off at the end of the season ...

[Johnd]

You mean if it were not for the Eagle "not so" special teams.........

Yeah as good as the two muffed Eagle "returns" were on replay, I liked the last one were the "returner" scooped up the ball amidst a swarm of Packers just two yards before it was to stop rolling. He didn't drop it, but I'll bet his ears are still ringing from that pounding. :eek: Where did they find these guys?

[Buckeye_Nut]

Well, my Chargers won. But it wasn't the butt-whoopin' I was hoping for. I don't think anyone will be handing the Bears a whoopin' unless they have a zillion turnovers. That defense is brutal....

SD is no slouch either.......


In fact, I think both SD & Bears might prove to be two of the elite teams in the NFL in 2007.

[Buckeye_Nut]

LOL..... speaking of "almost loses".......Didn't Wisky have to come from behind in the 4th quarter to beat a patsy midmajor on saturday?

Ohio almost lost?

Who........ the Bobcats?

:D

While it's true the Buckeyes won ugly.........their defense pitched a shutout in the process while rotating the entire roster onto the field for pretty much the entire game. Everybody 3 deep on the roster got a good workout for the Bucks on Saturday.

We play the Washington Huskies (who are looking very strong in 07) next weekend, so we'll know a lot more about the strength of the team very soon.

It's around 8:30, so I turn on the television to get ready for Monday Night Football. I turn to the television menu and WHAT, No Football. :eek:

OK I calmed down. Had a little brain fart. Forgot MNF went to ESPN. Turned ON ESPN and WTF, it's half time. Are the games always going to start at 7?

Then I see there is another game on tonight. WOW :eek::D



And I would just like to say my thoughts, and prayers are with the Buffalo Bills, and the family of tight end Kevin Everett.

LOL..... Too funny!! That Bengals/Ravens game was very fun to watch. As a Browns fan, the Ravens is the team I probably most enjoy rooting against, and seeing them lose an exciting game......is priceless. The Bengals were bad for a looooong time, so I'm glad to see them finally playing good football.

The SF/Ari game was kinda lame, IMO. It was like trying to determine the outcome of which team sucked the least. With that said, watching the Cards throw away the game in the final seconds was pretty exciting.

I hope not. I would like to see Favre light them up for 4 TD's and the defense play solid holding them to under 20.

Not too far-fetched if they play their 2nd half game...I wouldn't bet against them.

BTW:
Favre has now passed Elway for wins as starting QB (and is #1), and
needs only 4 td passes to beat Marino (#1).


GO PACK!

[darien87]

Not too far-fetched if they play their 2nd half game...I wouldn't bet against them.
Who's 2nd half game are you referring to? If it's the Chargers, I believe they scored more 2nd half points than any other team last season. Who can forget that 2nd half comeback against the Bengals, coming back from 28 points down to win the game?!?!? Incredible.

But after the 2 games they've played so far, I don't know if my boys are the same team. They just don't seem to have that same fire as last season. True, we had some key injuries on defense last week, but something just doesn't seem right. I think Jamal Williams is THE most important guy on our defense. When he goes out of the game, the defense just isn't as effective. Scary that one man can have such an impact.

I hope it's not the whole Norv Turner and coaching change thing, but who knows?

The Pack's...of course.

The Chargers had a 14-2 record last year with 10 pro-bowlers.

The Pack doesn't even have a running game this year, yet Favre managed his 38th 4th quarter comeback against last years team with the best season record (the Chargers).

Who am I talking about? The Packers!


GO PACK!

[Nomo]

I thought the Pack looked like the real deal today.
It's hard, this time anyway, to chalk it up to a poor opponent. The Chargers played a good game.
I started putting on my lawn mowing shoes when they held the Packers to nothing after 1st and ten at the 1 foot mark in the fourth quarter.

But I did have a bad feeling about things considering the way SD had been moving the ball.
And I did mow with a bit of a smile after the game.

[Johnd]

I hope not. I would like to see Favre light them up for 4 TD's and the defense play solid holding them to under 20.



Hey, I can dream can't I. :D


Well...Favre got 3 td's to tie Marino...one more and he's the alltime leader. And the D, whist not keeping them to under 20 pts., kept them to 24.

I only care that the Pack wins, and plays a good game. After all, you only need to win by one.

BTW, I don't see anyone clammering for Favre's record(s) on the field...they're playing the game. That was a good game yesterday. Have you awoken yet Annunaki? ;)

GO PACK!

[mikeyj92]

Great win yesterday. Eventually we'll have to put together some illusion of a running game though...but in the meantime, I'll just be ecstatic over a 3-0 start to the 2007 season.

Go Pack!!

:D

[annunaki]

Well the game was good. They did come close to losing it all though. I was so disappointed when they could not put it in the end zone with 4 plays within 6 yards of the goal line. They are lucky that they got the turnover on Defense as well.

I am quite happy that they are 3-0. I am remaining a bit sceptical at this point though as they have not shown me they are dominant yet. The running game needs to improve. Favre can't do it all ALL season. He played like he was back in '96-'97. If the running game comes into it's own, Favre keeps up his play, and the defense keeps it up, I will feel much safer about their situation.


All in all a very good game though. I hope it continues!!

One more TD and no more record hype. Then the concentration on winning can be put sqaurely in focus. :)

[stratman]

Hey guys be happy, at least you have a football team, we have a group of guys in uniform pretending to play football.:(:mad:

[jonnythan]

I want to see the Saints do to the Titans what the Eagles did to the Lions yesterday.

[QUOTE]Well the game was good.

Yes.

They did come close to losing it all though. I was so disappointed when they could not put it in the end zone with 4 plays within 6 yards of the goal line.

That's debatable (even though it's been decided). It looks like it was punched through at least once down there.

I Favre can't do it all ALL season. He played like he was back in '96-'97.

Why not? He's healthy, and making it work with the tools he's got. He is playing like he was ten years ago. The line just has to keep protecting him...he'll stay healthy then.

All in all a very good game though. I hope it continues!!

Yes. Most doubters have been silented.

One more TD and no more record hype. Then the concentration on winning can be put sqaurely in focus.

You keep writing that. All the hubbub about his records is off the field...I see no distraction on the field.

GO PACK!

I forgot about that. Good point.


I am not so sure Favre is worring about records and such, but it seems his teamates on the offense might be.

I started putting on my lawn mowing shoes when they held the Packers to nothing after 1st and ten at the 1 foot mark in the fourth quarter.
I can't believe my boys found a way to lose another one. When they were up 24-21, if Weddle hadn't tripped and gotten that sure interception, the game would have been over. Oh well. Bottom line is the great teams find a way to win and we didn't. But now I'm leaning more towards blaming Ted Cotrell and not Norv Turner. There's just NO way we should have given up almost 400 yards!!!! How old is Favre now, 50?!?!?

Whatever. We lost. I'll find a way to get over it. :mad:

[Johnd]

How old is Favre now, 50?!?!?

Old enough to know the difference, and beat your best! ;)

The real test is the gonna be the Packers going to the Rollerdome this coming Sunday.
Not that that alone will define the season, but I don't think their previous opponents really saw them coming. The Vikings, and God in hurts me to say this, won't be that stupid.

[darien87]

Old enough to know the difference, and beat your best! ;)

GO PACK!Not really, considering Jamal Williams didn't play. That's HUGE loss to our defense! Matt Wilhelm, our starting middle linebacker was also out. But I'm not gonna make excuses. A loss is a loss. But our next 3 games are all divisional opponents, 2 at home, so I fully expect us to be 4-2 going into our bye, firmly atop the AFC West.

Favre 2 TD passes.

[Buckeye_Nut]

Lots of great upsets in college this week.


Five teams inside the top10 lost!!

Thanks to that, my Bucks should jump from 8th to possibly 4th in the rankings:)

[stratman]

0-4 UNBELIEVABLE!

Culpepper rubbed it on the Fish's nose, defense wasn't anywhere to be found, in fact the word wasn't in the playbook today, lovely season. First time since 1966 that a new coach has started the season with 0-4.

[stratman]

Today's prediction:
Packers 24
Vikings 20.

Favre 2 TD passes.

Pretty close! Gambling man?;):D 23-16

[Johnd]

The Pack beats the Vikings, and go 4-0. Yay!!!

Childress threw the red flag how many times?
And Holcomb, what a baby. He reminds me of that other Viking that wore diapers, Chris Carter. :p
And Fox sports sucks the wad...at least in this game. They failed to show the time (or had the wrong time) and down on several occasions, couldn't see the yellow line half the time, and some key replays were entirely omitted.

But life is good.

Favre is now the alltime td pass leader.
Favre is now the alltime pass attempts leader.

GO PACK!

Pretty close! Gambling man?;):D 23-16

I couldn't gamble my way out of a wet paper bag.:)
1 out of 3 won't even win a buck in the lottery.
Good game though. I suppose that's easy to say when your team wins.

Favre looks as good as he did a few years ago. To me he seems to be pressing a bit less.

[Johnd]

Favre looks as good as he did a few years ago. To me he seems to be pressing a bit less.

Good? I think he looks great, as he did ten years ago. Nine, count 'em, yes, NINE different receivers. No running game. He's using the tools (almost all rookies) that he's got. Let's not forget we dropped three potential interceptions...those were gimmes that have to be caught against a real competitor. I'm sure we'll talk about it and get it fixed. Favre is the greatest in my lifetime!

GO PACK!

Good? I think he looks great, as he did ten years ago. Nine, count 'em, yes, NINE different receivers. No running game. He's using the tools (almost all rookies) that he's got. Let's not forget we dropped three potential interceptions...those were gimmes that have to be caught against a real competitor. I'm sure we'll talk about it and get it fixed. Favre is the greatest in my lifetime!

GO PACK!

He's looking very good. Much better than he did in, There's Something About Mary.

[annunaki]

I just hope he can keep this momentum up all season long and take them deep into the playoffs. Can you say 4-time MVP?

That would be the way to retire. (If he wants to.)

[darien87]

So my Chargers FINALLY started playing like the team I remember, stomping the Broncos 41-3 in their house!!! But I'm not sure if they're finally back on track, or if Denver is just that bad. Can't wait 'til Sunday to watch my boys crush the team I hate the most, Da Raiduhs!

[stratman]

Packers vs Cowboys last night, 'twas a game worthy of a Superbowl!

[Nomo]

Ugh.
Tough weekend for Wisconsin football.

[stratman]

Ugh.
Tough weekend for Wisconsin football.

Yes, but nonetheless it's been the best game of the season, I just hope the SB will be as gut-wrenching and cliff-hanging as this game was and I'm not a fan of either team. Right now the fish are in the dog house as far as I'm concerned (0-5.)

[darien87]

Packers vs Cowboys last night, 'twas a game worthy of a Superbowl!Yeah, but can someone please tell me how the hell you throw 5 interceptions and still win the game?!?!?!?

[stratman]

Yeah, but can someone please tell me how the hell you throw 5 interceptions and still win the game?!?!?!?

My point exactly! It was a game of contradictions and "impossibles" the Packs should have won this one with so many mistakes on the Dallas side, but like I said this game was unique, and worthy of a SB!:D

[annunaki]

Packers vs Cowboys last night, 'twas a game worthy of a Superbowl!

What game did you watch? I saw the Buffalo Bills play the Cowboys and the Bears play the Packers. :)


Last weekend was tough for wisconsin as far as football is concerned. I hope they both bounce back strong this week.

[stratman]

I still can't believe they lost! 5 interceptions against Dallas?!

[annunaki]

I know that was some crazy game. Then for the kicker to hit back to back 53 yard field goals. :eek:

[Johnd]

What game did you watch?

Thanks annunaki...there's always someone half asleep lurking around here. I was going to post something, but I stopped being the edit police some time ago. :p

The Pack is tough this year, and so are the Badgers. They'll both bounce back. Have no fear. ;)

GO PACK!

[stratman]

I must have been out of it I guess, so was Darien. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

[annunaki]

No confusion, just confused looks.

[Buckeye_Nut]

I'll be at Arrowhead this weekend for the Chiefs/Bengals game:D

I'm taking my 5yr old son, so I hope I'm not surrounded by belligerent jackasses.

[jonnythan]

With the way the Saints are playing, all I want to do is die.

At least LSU is pulling through for us. I wouldn't mind seeing them kick some Buckeye butt in the Superdome come January ;)

[darien87]

I must have been out of it I guess, so was Darien. Sorry if I caused any confusion.Whoops. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to that game. I'm positive that the Cowboys played though. :D

[darien87]

[darien87]

Chargers SPANKED the Raiders!!!!!

2 in a row! The momentum is building!!!

[jonnythan]

The Saints finally woke up last night.

Brees put up a 109 QB rating and Bush gained over 90 yards in the first half. I think he finished with over 140 yards of offense. Seattle got a garbage TD to bring them within 11, but the Saints owned the game. 28-17.

Thank God. Assuming they're able to keep it up - and they should - the Saints could easily find themselves in the running for the division at the end of the season.

[annunaki]

Chargers SPANKED the Raiders!!!!!

2 in a row! The momentum is building!!!

The Chargers finally realized what they needed Less PR and more LT!

LT had a breakout game he is back to the td machine he is.

[annunaki]

Packers win again! Thanks to our defense. The defense played really well yesterday and came up with some crucial take aways... and a score. FAvre set the interception record :rolleyes: yay hoo :rolleyes: He was robbed of a td pass to Bubba Franks though in the 4th quarter. Franks got a foot down and was pushed out by a face guarding db. In any case Favre slipped from his average of 300+ yds passing a game :mad: :D


How about Tom Brady. Holy smokes! :eek: The guy is on fire! 21 td's and just 2 picks and we are only 6 games into the season. If he keeps this up he'll pass for over 50 td's! The Patriots look REALLY tough.

How about Devin Hester helping out the Bears in a near comeback. Too bad Adrian Peterson was too much for the Bears.

[Nomo]

Yawn.
No packer game today.
Looks like I'll need to work on my girlfriend's list of things to do around the house.

The packers seriously need to find a running game. As well as Favre is playing it's hard to imagine him carrying the team through the entire season, much less the play-offs.

[Johnd]

Max McGee has died at age 75. He fell off his roof whilst clearing it of leaves...what a trooper! Max caught the first ever Superbowl touchdown (under the careful tutelage of Vince Lomabardi). May he rest in Peace.

That sucks. What a lame way to die for a football legend.

[jonnythan]

It was a very good sports weekend for me.

First, the Red Sox won. Then, USF lost. Then the Sox won again. Then LSU won. Then the Saints won - which also involved a bonus of a Falcons loss. Then the Bucs lost. Then the Sox won a third time to take the ALCS.

Yeehaw :)

[stratman]

FISH 0-7, need I say more? Well at least I've got some consolation Ferrari won the constructor's title and Kimi won the driver's title.

[annunaki]

Favre and the boys were off this weekend. Good thing to because I was watching the F1 race.

Hopefully they find a shred of a running game in their off week.

I haven't checked yet but let me guess, Brady threw three more td's???

[jonnythan]

Brady threw six TDs.

They even took him out for a series, but his backup threw a pick that got taken back for a TD to make the score 42-21. They promptly put Brady back in and he threw TD #6 to make it 49-21.

Crazy.

[annunaki]

I went to NFL.com after my post. I was shocked :eek: 6 more good god. The Dolphins record of 16-0 looks a bit threatened right now. This team looks much stronger than the Colts did in their super 15-1 season. They still have some good matchups to come with Indy next week and Pittsburg and the Giants later in the season. If they win those three the other games should go pretty well for them. After the way they destroyed Dallas they are going to be VERY hard to beat.

[jonnythan]

I think that the Patriots *can* go 16-0.. but they won't. They won't play their starters to win two meaningless games at the end of the season just to get 16 wins.

[annunaki]

I would still play my starters to keep their edge, even if it was for just a half.

Look what happened to the Colts in the post season when they sat players the last game. (When they went 15-1)

[annunaki]

What I like about Belichek is the killer instinct. A 14 point margin was too close so he sent Brady back in. They are too many coaches that go into conservative mode. Telling your guys not to play 100% through the whole game is counterintuitive. This can be done with play calling too. Don't get me wrong, if you are up by 21 with 1:00 left you take the knee twice though.

[gmichael]

I think we may be a little ahead of ourselves. But if the Pats do make it to 14-0, they should play their starters for the first qtr or half to keep them sharp. Then let them rest up. Also, sit anyone who is borderline (questionable).

[darien87]

FISH 0-7, need I say more? Well at least I've got some consolation Ferrari won the constructor's title and Kimi won the driver's title.Plus you guys lost Brown for the season. Now you've got our former 3rd string QB and former backup RB as your starters. Yikes.



Off Topic, we've got out of control fires in SD again. I can't believe this crap is happening again. So far my parents haven't been evacuated yet, but we'll see. LT had to evacuate his house in Poway.

Prayers will be appreciated.

[darien87]

[darien87]

Well they FINALLY announced that Sunday's game will indeed be in SD. I don't know what took them so long to decide. Some people are *****ing that they shouldn't move the remaining refugees out of Qualcomm. Gimme a break. There's only about 50 people left. Plus they're being moved to the Del Mar fairgrounds, which is a better place anyway. At least there they can be indoors. I swear, some people have nothing better to do than *****. :mad:

Personally, I think having the game at home is good for the city. SD can use the entertainment. It will take our minds off of the crap that's going on, at least for a few hours.

[Johnd]

Yeah, you're absolutely correct. A football game is more important than the safety and peace of mind of those that just lost everything. Ship 'em off to the fairgrounds (to their next temporary home) I say...and let the games begin! :rolleyes:

[darien87]

Ship 'em off to the fairgrounds (to their next temporary home) I say...and let the games begin! :rolleyes:Yet another person that doesn't understand the situation opening their mouth. :rolleyes: Let me explain it to you. There were only about 50 people left as of Friday. Where were these people staying? The parking lot of the stadium. OUTDOORS!!! Where were they moved to? The Del Mar County Fairgrounds, that has many exhibition halls that the people could easily be moved to. INDOORS!!! Where would you rather stay when the air is filled with smoke and ash, outdoors or indoors???? Sounds like indoors would be better to me. But I'm kinda weird that way.

And the people that didn't have transportation, were bussed there by the city. Bottom line is that the fairgrounds are a better place for them to stay anyway.

Plus, as I said, thousands of people voiced their opinion, that they wanted the game to go on. People wanted the entertainment to give them something positive to think about. Even if only for a few hours.

Don't go shooting your mouth off if you don't know what you're talking about.

[Nomo]

Two words:

PACKERS WIN

[jonnythan]

That was awesome.

[QUOTE]Yet another person that doesn't understand the situation opening their mouth. :rolleyes:

Yeah, all those people without homes were loudly clammering for the game to go on.

Don't go shooting your mouth off if you don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, you're right again. One has to be in San Diego to hear oodles about this whole predicament.:confused:

My message was to you that you apparently value a game over people. Lose your home, and everything in it, (like the 2,000+ in So. Cal.) then come back to me "shooting your mouth off," and maybe I'll listen. ;) Until then, I think it more important to consider people that have lost their homes and everything in them. The point was never missed on me that they would always have temporary housing. The point was to consider them first, and to minimize any additional stress and angst. Your only concern seems to be the game. :(

[Johnd]

Yes. Packers win in OT. Do you think Favre likes to prove the naysayers wrong (that he no longer has an arm)? Pack is 6-1 and in 1st place in the NFC. Fun game.

GO PACK!

[darien87]

How do you figure that a FEW people's feelings weren't considered?!?! That's why it took until Friday for the decision to be made, when the danger was pretty much over by Wednesday. What's better for the general populace of San Diego? Coming together as a community and getting to see their team play and win a football game, or keeping a FEW people sitting in a parking lot, doing NOTHING to improve their situation?!?!

AGAIN, they were moved to a place where they could be housed indoors instead of outdoors. How is that not better for them?!?!?

Bottom line is that the decision that was made was better for EVERYBODY. The people that were displaced were moved to a better place, and the THOUSANDS of San Diegans that wanted to watch a football game were allowed to. To quote the immortal Mr. Spock, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

You're just another one of those people that will find something to complain about, no matter what the situation is. Go have another brat covered in Cheez Whiz. :rolleyes:


By the way, I'm actually happy that the Packers won. Another loss for the Broncos is good for my Chargers.

[annunaki]

Guys your discussion about the fires is getting a bit off topic. I don't want this thread to derail. Start a new thread as it is an interesting issue. Thanks! :)

[annunaki]

Great job by Green Bay. I love it when Favre has a great game. The defense has a few areas that need to be addressed but other than that I liked what I saw. Especially since the run game came out. Let's just hope that continues against other teams.

[darien87]

Guys your discussion about the fires is getting a bit off topic. I don't want this thread to derail. Start a new thread as it is an interesting issue. Thanks! :)No problem dude.

[annunaki]

I am looking forward to the Patriots vs. Colts matchup. We may see who the superbowl champ is before the season is even finished :D

Anything can happen though...

Like Favre taking the Pack to the big game and winning it all one more time!!! :D:eek:

http://www.highwayimage.com/images/nfl_ny_giants.gif

[annunaki]

The Packers are looking stronger. That makes me quite pleased. The running game is stepping up and the defense is looking better. Al Harris had a bad game though. He gave a a couple big plays that he should not have. In any case I want to see how they do when they play Dallas. If they beat them similar to the way the Pats did, we could have a very good potential Superbowl (? :eek:) Matchup brewing.

The Patriots continue to look unstoppable. They look like a terminator out there. All phases of the game going 100% of every play of every game right to the final whistle.

[billy p]

Mazer you're right on the money. Now if the Dophins can finish this perfect season.:rolleyes:

Years of neglect, bad scouting, tight purse strings are finally paying off for the Fish, they've become the perfect textbook case on how not to run a professional football team. To be frank I don't care, I feel sorry for some of the players like Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas, these guys in better teams could have achieved more, they go out week after week and pour their soul into a losing proposition, they're super bowl material. Notice how many players drafted by the Fish when they leave and go into other teams with better infrastructure excel.

[billy p]

Well the Fish made the Steelers work for their 3 point win, anyway you slice it, a win is a win. 11-0! Go Fish!

they do have large shoes to fill because of that 72 team, going O-fer is never easy. They should be comended though for battling each week and don't forget they have lost 6 games by fewer then 3pts. All kidding aside, you can't compete without a capable QB or running game and as you already observed in an eariler remark they are mismanaged and have been for years.

As fo go GIANTS, do you Giants fans think you have more to cheer for, I think not! Not with ELY at the helm.

[annunaki]

Cowboys vs. Packers two more days to go. I hope Woodson can play. He leaves a serious void if he is out. Harris should do alright against T.O. but Crayton could smoke us if Woodson is out. Witten scares me too as the Pack has not been that great at matching up with high quality receiving tight ends this season. I just hope that Romo gets all giddy becasue he is playing his hero and our D-line gives him no time to throw.

On the other side We need at least 125 yds. on the ground by one back or committee. This will give Favre the ability to open things up. Because we have a bunch of good solid receivers it is difficult for opposing defenses to match up. Favre needs a good clean game with little to no turnovers and at least 2 td passes. Special teams and defense need a score or a few big plays to help out too.

In the end these two teams match up really well. It will be a great game. I hope the Pack pulls it out 37-31 and Favre gets a win in Dallas.

[Nomo]

I'd like to say I confident in the Packer's chances, but with the defensive secondary banged up, especially if Woodson is out, it could be a long game.
Regardless I took Friday off to recover, hopefully recover from celebrating.

[darien87]

As fo go GIANTS, do you Giants fans think you have more to cheer for, I think not! Not with ELY at the helm.The more Eli struggles, the more I like it. I'll hate that guy forever for disrespecting my team and my city. He even made me hate Peyton, just by association.

[annunaki]

Way to forgive and forget there Darien. :rolleyes: :D :D ;)

[Nomo]

Well, Packer loss set aside, I was not particularly impressed by my first viewing of the NFL network. The picture and sound were good, except for a dozen or so times that the signal blacked out for a second. I guess I could probably blame that on a glitch between the NFL feed and my local TV station.
My gripe is with the networks choice of announcers. In particular, Bryant Gumbel. Not only does he not have the voice for I would expect for football, on numerous occasions he got the score, field position, coaches, and team names confused.

Terrible.

[darien87]

Way to forgive and forget there Darien. :rolleyes: :D :D ;)Yeah, my hatred for Eli has waned a bit. Instead of a burning, rancorous volcano of enmity, it's now just more of a smoldering campfire of disgust. :D

And I guess I don't hate Peyton. I just don't like him a whole lot.

I don't think Cleo is going to be around the fish tank much longer. Best pass he's thrown all season though.

[annunaki]

Favre looks set to add another 4,000 yd. 30 td season to his impressive resume. He is 95 yds shy of 4,000 and 4 tds short of 30. With the Bears and Lions yet to go I feel this should happen. I am just hoping for another miracle loss by Dallas. Having home field advantage thoughout the playoffs in Jan., in Wisconsin, would be a major help to the Packers.

Greg Jennings needs 112 yds. for a 1000 yd season. That would be two receivers with 1,000 yds. plus for the Pack. Jennings is quietly having an excellent season. He has 12 tds. this season so far!

Tomlinson had a very nice day yesterday. How about the Browns now at 9-5! Who saw that coming?

Then all of a sudden some dude comes up to me, and starts talking bad about Eli, and the Giants.

Well I wasn't going to stand there, and listen to him. So I had to do something.

Hey Mazer, nice fro! I always thought you were more of the Jeri-Curl type.:D

[MUDSHARK]

Actually, there were skirmishes in the section to our left, as well as the right, and one several rows higher up. Think I'll stick to Hockey where the fighting is on the ice. Still had a cool time with Steven and Clint (my son not the guru). The atmosphere with the tailgating, bands playing, and excitement made for a fun day.

Not at all like Miami games where the crowds can be well, uncivilized in profanity and the lack of social graces.

[darien87]

My boys had me hella worried after that lame first half. But they really put it on the Titans in the second half.

One step closer to the Super Bowl!!! :D

Miami crowds uncivil? You're being nice you know. I won't take Mikey to a Fish game.

[darien87]

Gates being out worries me a bit, but if the Bolts can play the way they did the last 2 times against the Colts, they'll be able to stomp Manning into the turf!

Bring on the Colts!!!! :D

How bout them GIANTS!!!!!!!!!

[darien87]

As I predicted, my boys were able to put a hurtin' on the Colts. I'll admit that once LT AND Rivers went out of the game, I thought it was over. But the back-ups stepped up BIG TIME!!!

Bring on the Pats!! If the Chargers can bring the same pressure and cause some turn-overs, they'll be able to bring the Cheatriots undefeated season to an abrupt end.

Can't wait!!!

[annunaki]

I figured you would be stoked Darien. As soon as I saw that the Chrgers won, I thought of you and how amped up you would be in this thread!


By the way the NFC Championship game is AT LAMBEAU!

After the way the 'Pack came back from a 14 point deficit I feel they will beat the Giants in the near single digit temps expected next week. I also feel that they are capable of beating the Pats in the big game. Sorry Darien, I just don't feel the Chargers have what it takes to get to the Superbowl. At least not with the Pats in their way.

If the 'Pack can get to and win in the big game, Favre deserves the MVP.

If the 'Pack can get to and win in the big game, Favre deserves the MVP.I didn't watch much of that game, but after the Pack went down by 14, I thought it didn't look good. Congrats on their come-back. But let me get this straight, you don't think the Chargers can beat the Pats, but you think the Packers can?!?!? Sorry, but I don't think the Packers are near as good as the Chargers. True, you guys won back in week 3, but that was a TOTALLY different Chargers team. The players and coaches were still getting used to each other and the new systems. Now the Bolts are finally clicking on all cylinders. I mean, geez our backup QB and RB marched down the field and put a TD on the board against the #5 defense!!

I don't doubt that Sunday is going to be a tough day, but if our offense plays well, and our defense does what it's done all season long, create turn-overs, the Chargers can definitely win. It will be a good game.

[stratman]

I'm not a Pats fan, but I think they're going all the way. For now, they're a wrecking machine.

[stratman]

I know, but I've yet to see a chink in their armor. Unless they choke on an extra-large South Florida watermelon, there's no stopping these guys this year. I'm not convinced that Greenbay, NY, nor SD can do it.

[mazersteven]

I'm not convinced that Greenbay, NY, nor SD can do it.

Your not convinced that the Giants can't knock off New England? :rolleyes:

Did you not watch that game a couple of weeks ago? If not you'll catch it on NFL Classics one day.

Yes the G-Men lost. But because of their own mistakes. Not because New England beat them. They beat themselves.

The Packers are a different team too. They are better all around especially in the running game and on defense. And Favre is, well, Favre.

In all honesty though I don't think anyone can deny the Pats. They are great.

[Johnd]

The Tundra is prepared!

Lambeau field (named after the infamous, or notorious Curly Lambeau...you just gotta love that name) is swarming with activity.

With names likes Ray Nitschke, Bart Starr, Don Hudson, Tony Canadeo, Reggie White and Curly Lambeau watching over, whether past or present, the history, the aura of the Pack and Lambeau is undeniable...you just feel it...or you're not human. And we don't talk smack.

The sky is clear, the wind chill is currently -25', and the fires are stoked.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

GO PACK!!!

Just read she died. I know she is seriously loved in St. Louis. Possibly more than any owner in sports.

Who will the Rams new owner be?

Giants don't need a bunch or names or slogans. Just two letters, actually.



LT

Light Truck?, Lost Time? Lite-Toast?, Little Thom?, Lite-Touch?, Last Time?

[jliedeka]

Lawrence Taylor. He was an awesome linebacker and the Giants are rightly proud.

The other guy isn't going to get past Ryan Pickett. :D

Jim

[darien87]

No disrespect to Taylor. He was a great linebacker, if you can get past his drug abouse and love for prostitutes.

But there's only one LT - Ladainian Tomlinson

[mazersteven]

LT was the best defensive player that I have ever seen yet was very rarely penalized (bodyslamming QB's was legal then). As Steven said he changed the game.

Just a little over 9 hours to go til the shootout in the tundra. Well, probably not a shootout, as the ball will throw like lead and hands will feel like tree trunks. Maybe they will be able to throw some passes?

[mazersteven]

He's going to scare the team into better players!:p

It was already reported that when he first stepped onto the practice field. Without him saying a word. The players all started running faster, catching balls better, running routes more precisely, throwing the ball with more velocity and spiral, hitting the pads harder.

Amazing what the presents of one man can do.

Yes. Well, you say that. And I say that. And we're both happy sitting at home.

If I were at Lambeau with tickets I would ecstatic.

I'd be bundled up like an astronaut to brave the cold, but I would be ecstatic. :)

GO PACK!!!

[stratman]

Sorry Darrien, SD bit the bullet. Maybe GB can do it.

I think the Pats are going all the way. I'm not a fan, but the logic is there.

[cbraver]

You are right, but I hope not. I'd like to see the Packers go all the way.

[darien87]

Sorry Darrien, SD bit the bullet. Maybe GB can do it.

I can't believe my boys didn't put it in the end zone all day. Right up until the end of the 4th quarter, I thought they were gonna do it.

But yeah, I'm a Packers fan for the rest of the day. I don't wanna see that punk Eli Manning getting to the Super Bowl. I'll hate that guy for the rest of my life.

Hopefully the Packers can beat the Cheats too. I don't want them winning another Super Bowls.

Screw the Pats!!!

[darien87]

Lawrence Taylor changed the game of football.

Ladainian Tomlinson is just a good football player.Changed the game my ***. It cracks me up when people say that. Please, you're seriously telling me that linebackers play the game differently now than they did before him?!? Back that up with some facts. Otherwise you're just parroting other people.

Tomlinson is the best RB to ever play the game.

[MUDSHARK]

Lawrence Julius Taylor (born February 4, 1959), nicknamed L.T., is a retired Hall of Fame American football player. Taylor played his entire professional career as a linebacker for the New York Giants in the National Football League (NFL). He is often considered to be one of the greatest defensive players in the history of football, and has been called the greatest defensive player of all time by media members, former players, and coaches.

After an All-American career at the University of North Carolina (UNC), Taylor was drafted by the Giants with the second overall selection in the 1981 NFL Draft. Although controversy surrounded the selection due to Taylor's contract demands, the two sides quickly resolved their issues and Taylor won several defensive awards after his rookie season. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Taylor was a disruptive force at outside linebacker, and is widely considered to have changed the pass rushing schemes, offensive line play, and offensive formations used in the NFL. Taylor produced double-digit sacks seasons consecutively from 1984 through 1990, including a career high of 20.5 in 1986. He also won a record three Defensive Player of the Year awards and was named the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) for his performance in the 1986 season. He was named first-team All-Pro in each of his first nine seasons and was a key member of the Giants' defense, nicknamed "The Big Blue Wrecking Crew", that led New York to Super Bowl XXI and XXV victories. During the 1980s Taylor and fellow linebackers Carl Banks and Hall of Famer Harry Carson gave the Giants linebacking corps a reputation as one of the best in the NFL

On numerous occasions Coaches including the late Bill Walsh were quoted attesting to the way LT changed Pro-Football some 27 years ago.

Tomlinson is the best RB to ever play the game.

For the first point, read Michael Lewis' book "The Blind Side". It will tell you in detail how LT changed the LB position. They had to start using guards to block him in addition to RBs and FBs.

As for Tomlinson being the best RB to ever play- do you know much about football? The top 5 list easily goes:

Barry Sanders
Walter Payton
Jim Brown
Emmitt Smith
Erick Dickerson

With apologies to Earl Campbell and Gayle SAyers.

Get back to me in 8-10 more years on Tomlinson.

I'll tell you something though, the way both teams played, neither would stand a chance against the Pats, GB missed so many opportunities to win, and NY, well let's just say they have had better games. I'll go on a limb here, unless NY becomes a radically different team, they won't beat the Pats.

[aberkowitz]

Giants fans are not allowed to smack talk until the morning of February 4th. Until then we will keep our mouths shut.

Pretty sure that we had no chance against the Pats the first time, the Bucs, the Cowboys, and now the Packers.... pretty sure we won all of them.

The Pats looked a bit shaky themselves today....

I have no doubt that the Pats are the favorites, but I have a feeling it will be a great game.

No doubt Abe, it will be a great game, but if the Giants play like today it won't be pretty for them, NE is an unforgiving team right now and you can't make so many mistakes and expect not to pay for them, btw I'm not a Pats fan, I'm writing simply as a detached viewer with no axe to grind.:) I've been so sickened by the Fish that I'm not even a fan of theirs. This season was the culmination of years of neglect and bad choices for the Dolphins.

Hopefully for the fish Parcells can work his magic one more time. At the very least you can be assured that Ted Ginn won't be your 1st round draft pick, and that all of the soft players who don't try hard will not be on that team by the end of training camp.

Yeah strat, thanks. For the youngest team and the oldest quarterback (that is hopefully back next year) I give them a good chance for improvement.

As for the fish...the flip side is you get the pick of the picks...and a new coach. There's always a bright side, right?

As for major, (I think the quip was directed at me), isn't it traitorous to cheer for a northern team when you live so deep in the south? :p
