The Jets looked like a high school football team today. All that talk about, "Oh, the Jets are gonna run wild on that Chiefs defense," and "The Jets defense is gonna stop Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson cold" didn't really pan out like these NY writers thought.
Jets suck.
Woot, what a day for Daunte!
Only 233 yds with 3 INT, 2 Fumbles, 0 TD passes! >:(

The Moss-less era sure is off to a crappy start...
0-2 and Daunte = 155 yrds with 5 INT and 0 TD Passes (though he managed to finally run one in).
A ratio of 8 INT to 0 TD passes to start the year = (http://www.jedidefender.com/images/newsicons/icon16.gif)
The O-line actually gave Culpooper time yesterday, he just wasn't making the correct throws. He would throw to a covered guy even if the defender was in between the reciever and the ball. He overthrew. He underthrew. He forced the ball at the wrong time. He locks onto one reciever and misses out on open guys. He panics too easily. He's not a bright man from what I can tell. I would take a smart QB who keeps his cool anyday over a supposedly gifted athlete that looks good on paper anyday. Too bad those types are hard to find.
I couldn't be happier with the way things have shaken out so far this season. :)
The Bucs are going to kill the Jets, and then split with the Dolphins and Niners to go 6-1. Anyway you cut it, they're in damn great shape.
And if they're not, Rob can always do what he suggest I do in his PM to me, which is available upon request.
I love my team and all and will for all my life but I think today is about as low as they have ever been in my lifetime
Watching Daunte play like he is doing is painful...I almost hope they lose out and draft Reggie Bush #1
I'm going to claim predictions and name the first 3 teams that will definitely not be in the playoffs this year:
1. San Francisco - sucked last year, sucked this year, never thought they'd stop sucking.
2. Houston - BIG disappointment, they do have talent.
3. Green Bay - Lost 2 of their top 3 WRs, and their best 2 RBs, another big disappointment.
How far into your crystal ball did you have to reach to pull those ones out Ms. Cleo?
The real question is, which one of those teams gets first prize in the Matt Leinart sweepstakes. I think Greenbay is going to throw in the towel for the season to specifically to draft Leinart. Houston and San Fran have already drafted #1 overall QB's in the last few years.
I also don't the Packers are done, the NFC North sucks ass
Gentlemen,
I'm in a suicide pool (pick one game/week; no spread) and have narrowed my choices this week down to the following. Of these, which do you think is most likely to win this weekend and why?
Buccaneers over 49ers
Patriots over Bills
Cowboys over Cardinals
Thanks in advance,
:)
Just thought I would throw this bit of news in here. :)
Canada fan wins $1m with 50-yard kick (http://edition.cnn.com/2005/SPORT/10/28/football.kick.ap/index.html)
They said all of his ligaments are torn in his knee not to mention possible bone damage.
As for my teams, screw them all to hell. Rams, Raiders, Packers... Whole buncha suck. The Colts and Bucs are the only other two teams I marginally root for, so I guess what's left of my waning NFL enthusiasm for this season will be tossed behind those two.
Sounds like the record for interceptions thrown is thankfully safe, for yet another year. . .Beth Farve is still chucking the pigskin isn't he?
"Culpepper sustained damage to the three major ligaments in the knee: the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and medial collateral.
I think Dave's mad cuz Alexander's going to be somewhere else next year.
I smell a disgruntled Seahawks fan :-*
I think Dave's mad cuz Alexander's going to be somewhere else next year.
I don't think they would be that stupid to let him go. You can't. They have a good offense, but he's obviously the main focus of it. They have to re-sign him. If they don't they might as well pack up the team and move somewhere else, because there will be rioting in the streets of Seattle.
Indeed. The pictures will forever remain embedded in my mind. So not only do the two hot chicks have a little trist in the bathroom of a club,
They are both dogs. Someone on Spawn posted their Panthers website pics and they actually looked good. Amazing what makeup can do.
Alexander is a great running back, but if I'm building a franchise, I'd take Tomlinson over Alexander in a heartbeat - he's also 2 years younger.
God that was beautiful seeing the Colts hand the Pats their asses on their own field. ;D
They'll be in Playboy a few months down the road.

Not that I'd take him before Tomlinson or Alexander, but at 25 years old, you need to throw Larry Johnson in the mix too:

Sweet. Only 7 more wins in a row and Peyton will have a .500 record against the Pats.
The cheerleaders gone wild have been fired by the Panthers and removed from their website. As I said earlier, Playboy, here they come. They'll also most likely be guests on talk shows for a while. I'm sure Ellen and Rosie O Donnell would love to have them.....on. Maybe they'll even get a "reality" show.
I'm wondering what KC is going to do following this season (note: I don't know Holmes' contract status) given the way Johnson has performed this year. I'd think that the sensible thing to do would be keep Johnson and trade away Priest Holmes given his age. I think he still has several productive years left after this season so he should be able to generate some pretty serious interest.
Uh, maybe not. I believe my fantasy season just went in the crapper something fierce (http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/analysis/news?slug=fanball-holmesmayneverplayag&prov=fanball&type=fantasy&league=nfl) Holy snotballs. :o
Colts game was amazing and all I saw were the highlights. Can't believe CBS showed the Chargers/Bills blowout instead.
Can't believe the Steelers today... And people still call for Maddox's head too which separates who knows WTF they're talking about over who knows nothing. Maddox did what he could today for the most part and the O line just crumbled. They played like a 3rd rate team and deserved the loss they got handed to them. They're one of the top teams in the league without a doubt in my mind, but they just didn't come for today's game at all proving that the NFL is just great to watch every game. :)
Steelers fans are P-I-S-S-E-D pissed...
I think, and I'm die-hard Steelers even in losing seasons for us, that Indy is pretty near unstoppable. I think they're a better team than NE was last year, and NE I had much respect for (however I thought the Steelers COULD have dominated NE at any turn but they just didn't).
I love my team, but the Colts just look great and even when they didn't look good tonight htey still held their own. That's the sign of a winner IMO so I think they easily could go undefeated.
I can see Rob's scenario of them resting guys too though and not taking it all, but I think they wouldn't rest EVERYONE, just select people at select times... And if their schedule (I don't know it to say) is easy then even with people resting up they could still win...
And in Pittsburgh we took a breath and have all moved on to the next day's challenge. ::)
I guess we didn't think about the flipside: if the Seahawks rap up home field, will they rest their big guns?
True Dave, but they also have to look at the big picture. 16-0 is pretty irrelevant if you don't win the Super Bowl.
Reggie Bush IS out of reach for them. The Texans are clearly losing games on purpose (a shanked 31 yard field goal? Come on...) in an effort to get Reggie Bush. Even the Houston media is ripping the team for throwing games from what I hear.
What would be really interesting, is to see if the Packers would go after Matt Leinart if they end up drafting high enough. Then they could try to trade Aaron Rogers for a second or third rounder and build around Leinart.

Did anyone else catch that freaking Bucs/Falcons game?
A normal Bucs nail biter usually takes about a year off of my life - this one took at least 5. I'd never seen a game before where it looked like the game was 100% lost and then it looked like it would be won easily and then back and forth and back and forth like this one.
Absolutely killed me - but at least I got to be happy with the eventual outcome - with 0:15 left in OT...

Anyone know how long it has been since there has been a tie in the NFL?
So what's the deal with Daunte I-threw-a-thousand-TD's-last-year-but-couldn't-do-jack-this-time-around Culpepper?
he is going to get a FAT contract where ever he goes.
Lets go big blue!Yeah! Go Panthers!

I'm fairly positive that it will be a much better outing by the Bears as well. They're rested, playing at home, and it will be cold. But this is why they play the games.

Plus Rex Grossman, while not the second coming of Peyton Manning, is a hell of lot better than Kyle Orton.
Congratulations to the Steelers for beating the would-be Super Bowl champions, despite the best efforts of the homer refs.
God, I love upsets.

Uh, I think I may have spoken too soon.
Holy ****.
Oh, one other complaint though... I hate the national announcers generally, but those two today were just horrible. You'd think they had $ on the Colts the way they called it. Sometimes I think I'd be better off turning the volume on the TV off and the volume on the radio way up.

As bad as I was feeling for Jerome Bettis after the fumble, I feel worse for Tony Dungy. The knock on the poor guy in Tampa was that he couldn't win in the playoffs. Since going to Indy he's had a world-class offense and still hasn't been able to win in the playoffs. The team gets to 13-0 and looks like they're unstoppable and bam, his son kills himself, the team is stuck with 3 weeks of meaningless football plus a bye week and when they finally get back onto the field in a meaningful game they're obviously rusty and are matched up against a Steelers team that never budges for anything. Another typically slow start for a Dungy coached team followed by an embarassing moment where he sends the punting unit onto the field only to be waived off by the QB.... followed by a failed comeback on a missed FG by the 'most accurate FG kicker in league history."
The poor guy is never going to hear the end of it.
I muted the game in the first quarter, and listened to my iPod for the rest of the game. I don't need to listen to Dan Dierdorf to know what's going on.
When did you get an iPod?
There is no bandwagon for me; born and raised in Seattle, I have been a Seahawks fan all my life.
There is nothing I would like to see more than a Championship for this city.
It gives me chills just thinking about it!

Finally, someone else at this site with some brains :D
I wasn't born and/or raised in Seattle, but I've been a fan since around '83 or so. I've been waiting a long time (a long, long time) for a playoff win... over 20 years as a matter of fact. I just hope we can take Carolina out. Won't be easy, but I think we can do it.
Between our 3 sports teams, we have had NOTHING to cheer about for the last 25 years.
Everyone is ready! Bring on the Panthers!
Watchin' the news, this guy in Denver who moved there from here got his car keyed the other day I guess. Classy.
That was one of the best played games this season. I really liked it. I really don't like the Bronco's coach, he looks like a rat. I was getting really annoyed when our defensive line couldn't sack Plummer.
Great game in Denver (Sorry Ryan and Matt), and really fun to watch... I think Plummer's gonna take a lot of slack out you guys' way but he really was on at times in the game, had some great scrambles... I hope the city isn't too down on him, but that's football and QB's take a hit after any loss.
Steelers/Seahawks...
And Jesse, as good as you feel, imagine the opposite, that's how I'm doing right now.
I just remember we weren't given a chance by ANYONE in the sports world and it's fun watching some of these guys eat crow
Right you are jokabofe!
This city is absolutely ecstatic right now!! What a great feeling to finally have our team in the big game!!
I am at a loss for words. It's just amazing.
So this is what it feels like to go to the Superowl!

"Thrilled in Seattle"
If the only way your team can win is by taking out the other teams best players (see: Carson Palmer) then your team sucks. End of story).
To Porter's defense, he only said ANYTHING after a Seattle player talked some **** on Bettis which, given Bettis is a special guy on and off the field, didn't sit well with anyone in Pittsburgh...
PITTSBURGH STEELERS, SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!
Final score: Seahwaks 10, Steelers 21.
I think the thing that scares me the most right now about the SB is the refs.
I just hope the refs in Detroit and gonna call a good game... :-X

Looks like I didn't hope hard enough. No one here can tell me that the game was called fairly. It's obvious that the refs were pulling inShittsburgh'sPittsburgh's favor.
Offense pass interference against D-Jack? C'mon. Gimme a break. And there is no ******* way in hell that ball broke the plane of the goalline. Not by a cunthair.
It's tough to win a game when you're playing 16 on 11.
And there is no ******* way in hell that ball broke the plane of the goalline. Not by a cunthair.
Even if the TD wasn't counted Pittsburgh still would've won.
Even if the TD wasn't counted Pittsburgh still would've won.
How can you say that? If Seattle had held on, and put up a goalline stand, it may have turned the momentum their way. That was 3rd down play if I'm not mistaken, and the D had already stopped them on 1st down and 2nd down.
Jackson did push off in my unbiased opinion
The TD call was really iffy, the tip of the ball only need to touch the front of the goaline and to me there wasn't enough evidence to prove either way. The ref should not have called that a TD
Seahawks were horrible running the clock though and I have to say that has always always been a Holmgren problem
I'm going to have to agree with the Jackson call myself. There was no reason for him to put his hand on the DB, he could have made that catch without the little push off. It may have been a little pushoff but a pushoff it was.

Also, did anyone notice Mike Holmgren didn't go meet Cowher out at midfield? Madden and Michaels were oblivious to it but when they kept showing those shots of Cowher looking around right after everyone flooded the field they kept saying crap like "he's just taking in this moment". He wasn't. He was looking for Holmgren - you could hear him say at one point "where's Mike?"
Holmgren snapped at Suzy at the half, and didn't bother going out to shake hands with Cowher after the game - absolutely classesless.
Was this before the game started?

First, I'm ecstatic. ;D This has been a LONG time coming in Pittsburgh,
According to a source familiar with Montana's situation, the former three-time MVP asked that he be guaranteed $100,000 in appearance money during his time at the Super Bowl. The league could not accommodate that request, so Montana declined to be in attendance.
For anyone wondering where Joe Montana was during the whole "former SB MVP" thing before the game

What a dick.
Former 49ers quarterback Joe Montana and former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw have decided to remain home. Bradshaw has told league officials that he wants to be with his family, even though his former team is in Super Bowl XL. Montana apparently was unwilling to come because the price wasn't right.

Here's a great article (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5310192) from an unbiased point of view.
I don't care what this author says, Darrell Jackson planted his hand on the defender's chest and pushed off. Pass interference, end of story.
But I do think it's really lame for Seahawks fans to start blaming the refs for not winning the Super Bowl.
I don't care what this author says, Darrell Jackson planted his hand on the defender's chest and pushed off. Pass interference, end of story.
My only point of contention here is that the ref didn't call jack **** until the ball had been caught and the defender got in his face to whine. It was a late call that responded to some player complaining and that's crap.
The contact was there, minimal or not. Call what you SEE not what you're told happened.
I'm not sure - it's entirely possible that they found eachother eventually and that I just idnd't see it on the broadcast. But usually after a loss the other coach isn't all smiles when he greets the winner. I think that might be beforehand because Cowher was soaking wet at the end after getting doused with Gatorade.
So he said it off field that he wants more money? That that's why he didnt show?
If he won more than one MVP than why can't he ask for more? What, the NFL feels they can pay him the same as everyone else and save some (IMO at that level) cheap dollars at the same time by not paying for a couple of SB MVP payouts because it's the same guy? I'm not jealous/hating him for it, he can do what he wants in that aspect.
