The NFL Thread

[Desert Dust]

Last year we had quite a bit of verbal jousting during the playoffs, so with the regular season only about a month away, well...... why not have an NFL thread? 

For starters, the two biggest disappointments this year will involve the Eagles & Redskins.

The Eagles will be disappointed after getting shot down by their former quarterback, Donavan Mcnabb. Two division losses for the Eagles this year.

The Redskins will be (and probably are) disappointed that they ever signed Albert Hanesworth. Albert Hanesworth will be disappointed that he didn't get his fat ass in shape while he watches the Redskins in at least the wildcard round of the playoffs.

By the way, I'm a long time Niners fan, so I am hopeful we get out of the cellar and at least make it to the playoffs this year. The NFC West (worst) shouldn't be as tough this year now that Warner has retired. 10 & 6?

I'm looking forward to seeing the Rams new quarterback and what he can do. Maybe they can pull it together and win 2 games.....

[superjohn]

New coaching staff. Revived defense. More experienced offense.

Hopefully will make Da Bears contenders again.

your asking for too much.


Some stuff i wnat ot geto ff my chest, not necssicarily fact but hey.

a) im a giants fan, still pissed of that our Defense went to shit after steve spagnuolo left. we suck got lucky, but were really good after that year and just lost it

b) Favre better play or i will stab his tires. he better win a damn superbowl too

c) I hope tom brady gets back into the groove. although im a new yorker, my first football games were watching New England Play against the rams. so im partial to that team just because i followed them before i followed the giants. btu i wasnt into the football that muc then.

d) also, i hope the cowboys burn. i hate them. i hate romo.

e) I hope romo breaks his pinky again.

f) both fo them this time.  hes good for nothing. really. he isnt.

f)Mcnab is going to smoke the redskins. just like favre smoked the packers.

also i hope LT kills on the jets. I want sanchez to get to the playoffs again.  hes got an arm and pretty damn accurate too.

okay, back to NFL hibernation mode. i cant wait!!!!!!

I hope not, since he is their quarterback.

"d) also, i hope the cowboys burn. i hate them. i hate romo."
+ 1, he man 

Perhaps I should have clarified. I am a fan of two teams.

#1 Niners

#2 Whoever is playing the Cowboys.

I've been a Brown's fan since 1960.

Yeah, pretty tough to admit and even tougher to swallow.

I'm hoping w, Holmgren as President and new faces on the field , the Team might get to .500 or better.

Don't know about Jake Delhomme, he's in his 16th season.

Still think Brady Quinn had the right stuff if he had a better line and receivers.

The Browns line was the best it's been since the late 80s, but Quinn made a lot of bad decisions. I can't blame the kid given how the team treated the QB position. Terrible mismanagement.

I was a Packers fan, and when Holmgren went to Seattle, I followed that team. Now that he's running the show with the local club, I'll be watching the Browns again. I'm excited about Seneca Wallace and Josh Cribbs in the backfield. Both can catch, throw and run. Both have QB experience and are listed as receivers.

The Browns will be good this year. With the Steelers starting the season with their star rapist on suspension, the whole division gets a head start.

How many postions is Cribbs going to play ?

They may as well use him as a DB too !

Well you have Colt.

Rookies !

Dolph     

Everyone was a rookie. 

[DoubleEagle]

Everyone was a rookie. 

The Browns have had nothing but mediocre luck w, high QB draft picks going back to Mike Phipps, Steve Couch and ending w, Brady.

This years season of "Hard Knocks" on HBO will be featuring the Jets. Starts Aug. 11.

If you haven't watched this show (you're really not an NFL fan  ). It is excellent. It started in 01 with the Ravens. Then the Cowboys in 02. Series resumed in 07. Check it out.

the jets are looking pretty stacked. I know I sound like a broken record every football season but.... GO BOLTS!.  Lets hope we can start strong this year and the norv turner grows some balls and gets further into the playoffs or send him packin!
