The NFL Thread 03-04

[Bond]

Another great week of NFL football. I can't believe Lewis rushed for almost 300 yards, and predicted it. Sheesh.

(The Packers won too )

No Comment on football on behalf of myself.....I probably won't be watching much this year.

Lol, I thought someone would say that....I'll probably watch the games, I'm just a little upset, but it is a little younger team, and a lot of players are hurt, so there is nothing we can do. It's just hard to come off of going to the NFC Championship game to this, but then again, it must have been just as hard for Rams fans last year. I guess I'm just sick of seeing the Flyers/Sixers/Eagles go practically all the way and coming up short in the playoffs, it's getting harder to keep faith.

Oh, it's going to be a LONG season in Chicago. I'll post some power rankings after tonights game.

[The Germanator]

At least the Giants are getting spanked by the Cowboys...to think the NFC East is going to be lead by the Skins.

[GameKinG]

GO RAIDERS!

[Stonecutter]

WOW!!!!!!!

That was the best MNF game I've seen since Jets/Dolphins back in 2000.

Anyway, as promised, powah rankings.

Stonecutter's Top 5

1) Kansas City
2) Tampa Bay
3) Green Bay
4) Pittsburgh
5) Giants

Those are the 5 teams that I feel have proven that they are legit. Buffalo beating the piss out of Jacksonville and New England doesn't impress me. Indy barly getting past Cleveland doesn't either. Neither do the niners (come on, they beat my bears) nor the panthers (again, jacksonville, and a few luckey blocks.) I'm not saying they're no good. I'm just saying I need to see more.

Tennesse is right on my bubble, as is Oakland, if either win next week they should be in.

You'll notice that 4 of those 5 teams are 1-1. Even after the loss tonight the giants battled back. GB will be fine if their recievers hold out. Pittsburgh lost to another top 5 team and Tampa is still damn good, they just got a few bad breaks (or blocks, as the case may be.)

I'll expand the list when I feel it's warrented.

All you philly fans need to start showing some loyalty, why don't you stop booing your team when they are playing at home and start showing some support. It's typical philly...everyone loves their sports team, talking all kinds of trash..... until they aren't playing too hot, then all of a sudden they turn and boo like a bunch of pathetic, non-loyal, hypocrites. "Philly rules...!! (blah blah blah) "Oh wait...we lost...we suk, eagles suk, and andy reid is a fat piece of crap!!" That's all I hear. I live in the philly area and I can't believe how the attitude of a sports team can change so drastically over night. Show some freakin support and quit complaining...jeez. Eagles fans feel like they got something to prove and since their team is such a dissappointment, they decide to get violent and act like losers. Now I'm not trying to insult the fans who are there for their team, but for the most part, this is the general philly sports attitude I've experienced since I moved to West Chester 4 years ago. How do you expect to get back in the game when your own quarterback can't concentrate over his own fan's boos?!! Stop complaining, shut up, and support ur f-ing team, and stop whining.
Oh, and bye the way, I can't wait to see what happens when philly gets beat by the Giants. Blue for life!

Seeing as how this is THE thread, all I have to say is
Jamal Lewis breaking the record just came out of nowhere.

Damn, the Cardinals suck.

And the Seahawks have looked impreesive against chumps, so this week's game and St. Louis will be very important.

Buffalo and Kansas City are the best teams in the league. Hands down.


BUT......... it has been only 2 weeks, in case I should forget the Panthers at 3-0 last year, Jets at 2-5, Titans 1-4, San Diego 6-1.

LOL, what a joke.

Indy inching past Cleveland doesn't do it for you, but a loss to the Vikings (Pack) does? And Tennessee is on the bubble, but the Colts are not when they absolutely spanked them on Sunday? Pssssh. Buffalo is top 5, easily. And the Giants lost to the COWBOYS. LOL.

Sorry dude, but I disagree with you completely.

[mickydaniels]

Wow. I didn't notice that myself. Green Bay, Pittsburgh & the Giants?
wow.

Here's my top 5

1. Buffalo Bills - crazy offense plus a defense equals nearly unstoppable
2. Kansas City Chiefs - same as above
3. Indianapolis Colts - not even in my dreams did I think they would beat the Titans
4. Tampa Bay Bucs
5. Minnesota Vikings

Honorable mention: Carolina, Seattle, Denver -now this is a team that has been beating on chumpslike San Diego & Cincinnati

Well....the booing annoys me too. I guess I just got a little upset earlier....with that post I made about not watching anymore football. I'm usually optimistic about Phillly teams, but it's just hard when the same thing happens every year.

Well, our power rankings are more of a week by week thing. Stonecutter's seems more of an end season prediction. Which it's probably pretty accurate.
