AP is gonna have a rough time with that o-line

[austic]

Eagles are looking good but will probably choke...

[Sdeibert]

After that contract I hope they do...

[dandia89]

[Dave P]

Saints! Saints! Saints!

[schocker]

[CSMRX7]

Hoping the Cowboys go .500 this year with the cleaned up roster.

[max_boost]

So excited for the season!!!

[schocker]

What about a beyond fantasy football league for 2011-2012?

[urbannomad]

Ravens!

[A2VR6]

I'm a Raiders fan... It's been a rough 9 years haha.

[slick2404]

Jetsssss

[dirtsniffer]

as long as the jets beat the patriots i'm happy. i would like to see detroit do well this year in the exciting NFC-NORTH. i'm looking forward to the NFC-EAST again this year as well.
Me and some buds are making a roadtrip to go see the ravens play seattle in november. can't wait.

how much are tickets? me and my buddy have always wanted to do this. i think they are playing the eagles this year too, hopefully i could grab some around that time.

[dirtsniffer]

yea i wanted to see the eagles play but its on a thursday night so it would have been an extra day off atleast. the tickets were 150 each though for pretty decent seats. opening night thursday. i cant wait

[AaronK]

Lets go Broncos!!

Hit or miss. I think they have a couple amazing games, but I don't think they do well, playoffs, but out right away.

I think they'll do better than that this year. Romo is gonna have a HUGE year.

[dirtsniffer]

apparently Peyton is done for the year now. neck surgery

[Jlude]

The year? Is it official?

[Team_Mclaren]

^^ i dont htink so, the owner just said he's gonna be a while?

[trieuth]

[[Yu]]

sigh, Peyton, my fantasy team all counting on Cutler and Orton now.

Packers take this game, I think.

Gonna be high scoring though.

[Dave P]

What a game!!!!!!

Was just playing around on sports select (most bets are on sportsbook) and decided to make a ticket.

Det Over TB
Hou Over Ind
Phi Over Stl
NYG Over Wsh
SD Over Min
NE Over Mia

$5 = $97

[Blacura]

No kidding. Their 3rd stringer, Josh Portis, looks not bad. Big, young athletic guy, could be a good player in the future.

T jackson scares me. Whitehurst, I'm not sold on yet either.
If we do bad, lets do really really bad and be able to draft Andrew Luck from Stanford at least.

[Jlude]

I gotta get a proline ticket for the games... or two :)

[CMW403]

Everybody see the Ravens game?

:love: :love: :love:

[iceburns288]

Caaaaaaaaaam! My boy knows who wants the ball!

15 fantasy points for Steve Smith in one play too! :D

I need Seattle and Carolina to win for 1500.

Detroit already came through!

I think Carolina will win, but Seattle is iffy.

[iceburns288]

Cam just broke Peyton Manning's record for passing yards in a week 1 rookie debut- the record was 302, he has 315 at the end of the third:eek: .

[Dave P]

Fuck the NYG. My proline was looking so good to.

[Jlude]

fuck proline is more like it

[95teetee]

lol @ "shit, you have to get rid of that ball just a split-second quicker":rofl:

[lasimmon]

Was a pretty exciting weekend of games. Went 12 for 16 in my pick em pool against the spread which was nice. should have picked up a proline ticket haha.

[darthVWader]

I took a dream trip to Green Bay and what a freaking game that was to see live. GO PACKERS GO!!!!!!! Then we hit the Brewers game on Friday and saw the Doc pitch then it was off to Madison to see the Badgers play infront of 80,000 fans.
One fucking great weekend!!!

[dirtsniffer]

anyone lese stoked for the sunday nighter? eagles - falcons. gonna be the game of the week IMO. I'm looking for chicago defense to help them win 2 straight [edit: Urlacher's mom just died, so he may not make the game on sunday, if he does who knows how he plays]. If philly wants to win the need to shut down turners run game and keep the te gonzalez under cover

[dandia89]

i need the texans to kill the dolphins. i got destroyed last week in my fantasy pool

[dirtsniffer]

^ has the potential to be a good game if the dolphins play like they did during the first half on monday night

[Dave P]

Saints
Lions
Jets
Bills
Redskins
Ravens
Steelers
Packers
Bucs
Colts (barley)
Cowboys
Texans
Patriots
Broncos
Eagles
Giants

[md14]

If anyone has the NFL Network at 11pm and again at midnight there showing the "Bill Belichick: A Football Life" documentary and it's really well done.

Just a heads up

I may be wrong, but Philly D is Top 3, at the VERY least top 5. Bears D is great, but I still don't think its at the level of Philly.

Only issue with Philly is that their Left tackle is most likely not playing as he hurt his ankle at yesterdays practice. Vick already had to do a lot of scrambling last week, with one of their starting LT out, it will allow the bears a better chance to get at Vick. I still don't see Jay Cuts and the Bears posing a real threat to Philly right now.


EDIT: I am still a bit wary on starting Grossman over Jay Cutler, but I am riddled with garbage QBs.

Picked up Manning in my draft as a gamble, and I lost that gamble. I also have Orton, he did not impress me at all last week, if it wasn't for his last drive of 70 yards with a TD, I wouldn't of been #1 in my league, but I had my heads up match clinched by Sunday already.

So once again, I am torn between Grossman and Jay. Jay is the better QB, facing harder defense in Philly, as they have some talented CBs. While Grossman is facing the piss poor D of Arizona that Cam Newton destroyed.

[dirtsniffer]

haha my post was confusing. bears lost to the saints already this morning and the eagles are playing the falcons tonight.


anyone see detroit crush kc?

[schocker]

Oh good, seahawks kept it within 24 :facepalm:

[dirtsniffer]

game of the week right here. so much action

2 beauty touchdowns by gonzalez (83 yards), 60 yard run and subsequent td by turner (146 total yards) having Vick leave the game really hurt them in the end. lots of turnovers and excitement in this one

[Team_Mclaren]

fuck, good game, and vick and jackson leaving the game kinda fucked me over on my pool.... :banghead:

[roopi]

Good celebrations in the giants game...

i wonder what that guy did to get the ball in the face

[Dave P]

This weekend taking:
mia over cle
ne over buf
det over min
bal over stl
atl over tb
gb over chi

$20 = $996 on proline.

[95teetee]

And from what Jim Rome was saying the other day, the idiot Giant figured he did the kid a favor by getting him on youtube for getting his face busted.

he apologized after and gave him a hug. he apparantly didn't see him, but i call bs on that.

i think the biggest garbage play of that game was that fake injury giants to get a timeout. that shit shouldn't be tolerated and the coach should be fined

[dirtsniffer]

oh man Brady threw 4 picks in the upset loss. The vikings blew another lead after the half. Vick leaves the game early for the second week in a row. Do you guys think he is allowed to be hit more than other nfl QB's? Jets lose in the black hole and Seattle wins their home opener.
Pittsburg looks like they have a game winning field goal lined up.

Exciting week, do you think the Redskins can win tomorrow and keep the division lead? I do.

[Team_Mclaren]

such a fuckup season... where the fuck did the bills come from? 1-2 philly dream team? 0-3 colts?
dont even get me started on the vikings... :facepalm:

[max_boost]

I love the NFL. Any given Sunday you just don't know what's going to happen. Holy fuck Detroit and Buffalo. For real?! haha

[CMW403]

... You actually like every season to go as planned according to last years stats and extrapolation with the additions of new players/ coaches and the confidence of their multi-million dollar players etc? Get real.

I think having these upsets is what makes the NFL the best league in the world. Doesn't seem like you're much of an NFL fan if you just want the patriots and colts to do well like they have for the last ten years.

1. The bills have a quarterback in Fitz.
2. Philly was calling themselves the dream team since before the lockout because they think they have god as qb and jesus at cb, unfortunately they don't.
3. The colts lost peyton... (wasn't sure if you were serious here?).
4. And the vikings have never been very good lol, favre was good. This years failure is mainly due to their o-line I would say.

Look at the Titans this year, they picked apart my defense last week like they were playing the Lions.

Speak of the lions, they're 3-0!!

The lock-out definitely had it's effects on the players as-well. What an exciting season this is going to be!

[dirtsniffer]

Calvin Johnson is the fucking man. He needs double coverage at all times.

games im watching next week
steelers @ texans
Lions @ cowboys
Panthers @ bears (maybe watch)
Patriots @ raiders
jets @ ravens

[dandia89]

bills are getting fun to watch

since when did i fucking say that? you cant honestly tell me that people expects the bills to go 3-0? including beating NE in a come from behind fashion... did i say its not great? I just said its unexpected.

You make it sound like its not shocking to most...?! No shit any team can beat any other team on any given sunday (or maybe thurs, or monday blah balh balh), but most people have expectations. as with any sport.

[CSMRX7]

Wow Cowboys win!!! I am not a Romo fan but he was money tonight with the help he had, or lack there of.

The D sure helped too.

I interpreted that as a general disappointment of the NFL as a whole because philadelphia, indianapolis and minnesota aren't meeting your expections. Sorry

[sabad66]

That should keep the Romo haters quiet for a week or so ;)

Too bad our kicker won't get as much credit this week. It's nice not to hold my breath every field goal try lol

[CSMRX7]

Bailey was automatic. I know none were overly long, but he put them all through like it was nothin!

I like the injured Romo, he seems to play smarter. He isn't capable of taking the huge risks so I think he tries to force less.

[slick2404]

even with all the upsets, some dude went 16 for 16 in the Sports Select Pool...he had to have picked 4 box outs...but still!! That's damn good.


There were 1 winning shares
matching 16 out of 16
for CARD 240

nice having a kicker who can actually kick (unlike a guy who couldn't kick converts until he became a Jet) and, yes, this Romo is good to watch -even if he has a lot of negatives to deal with. He could have thrown the whole offense under the bus in the post game interview but he didn't (of course, that's not really his personality-hell, he was even able to smile about it on the sidelines during the game).

btw, wtf was with that unnecessary roughness on the DB in the 4th (Ball? can't remember exactly who got flagged). You're not allowed to hit a receiver when he catches the ball anymore?

[max_boost]

I think it is one of those blind side new rules? The players are so quick that if you do let him turn and look up the field, he might dance and take off.

Anyway, I agree on this new Tony Romo. He is better playing hurt lol

[sevewone]

Anyone know of a site that offers free hd games? I wanna see philly :cry:

[max_boost]

Aaron Rodgers is so sick. 50 TD's possible?!

[lasimmon]

Ah the good ol tony romo shows up!

[max_boost]

haha I'm starting to like this Matt Stafford kid. And Romo, yep, he sucks again. Cue the Romo haters! lol

[dirtsniffer]

the cowboys 3rd most productive receiver played for the Lions. lol. thanks RHOMO.
who should i pick as my lock of the week?
Giants over Seahawks
Chargers over Broncos
Saints over Panthers

think the lions have what it takes? i think they'll score 25 points and take the win. Vick said the dream team is dead and the eagles season is looking desperate with only 4 weeks completed.

[colinxx235]

^

chargers will rip the broncos


giants are shaky

cam newton has been exploding... its only a matter of time before carolina pulls out some big wins

[slick2404]

Giants have been playing well, but I wouldn't consider them a lock. Cam Newton is scary good, but NO *should* take em.
Of those three, I see SD>DEN as the best choice.

[bigeagle]

Die Hard Eagles Fan here..


I wish I could die a slow and painful death by the way the season is going for us right now.. just saw eagles lose again!

4 weeks in a row!! :banghead:

[wintonyk]

Finally my vikings pull one out in the W column.

I feel for ya big eagle. It was hard to see the vikings lose 4 games all of which they were winning at the half.

[max_boost]

Damn that Aaron Rodgers guy is good. :eek:

[bigbadboss101]

Eagles way too many turnovers yet they almost tied it up. Texans had the chance to tie but the QB decided to throw it instead of running it in from the 5 yard line.

Damn Giants choked too. Those three outcomes messed up my NFL pool .

[schocker]

Dat seahawks :D
Cruz made some nutty catches though, but whitehurst sealed the deal, than that awesome kind of interception return by browning. I went in thinking they were definitely going to lose

[max_boost]

Holy shit Indy. LULZ.

Largest margin of defeat, ever?!:eek:

[beecue]

So does Manning win MVP this season? :cry:

[beyond_ban]

What a boring game... Brees played phenomenally though.

[Team_Mclaren]

give him 3-5 years to learn from the best in the NFL and he'll tear it the fuck up like Rodgers is doing now after sitting for 5 years.

Anyone else getting fed up with hearing about tebow?

By the looks of it the Luck lottery is going to indy or miami

I agree 100% but as an Eagles fan you have to believe with all that talent they will get it together. And the Eagles are always good coming off the bye week.

Yeah even as a boys fan I gotta respect the Eagles because they just have too much talent to be doing as badly as they are. If they pull it together they will be a scary good team. Should be an awesome game!
