GO TEXANS!!!
sniff What a beautiful game, man. Beautiful. I even picked Kansas City to win on my pick’ems teams, because hey, it’s the Chiefs and the fucking Texans. Turns out I was wrong to even have a modicum of confidence in the Chefs. They really are the worst team in the NFL.
Hey, either way I win!
Yeah, I seem to recall a really arrogant Chiefs fan coming into the thread last year “wagging his tail” about how good the Chiefs were last year. I don’t see this person much anymore, and certainly not with anything resembling a wag.
Maybe he can come in here and explain why his team is sucking pappy this year. My guess, in a word: Overrated. Last year the offense carried the D and this year everyone’s got the offense figured out. Where is the vaunted special teams play from Dante Hall? It’s covered like a blanket on every kick. Anybody seen Tony Gonzalez? Nope, me neither. Priest came off the DL and put up some good numbers, but alas, it wasn’t enough to overcome the defense.
They need to go in a totally new direction. Hey, I’m big, I’m fearless, I don’t care if I get hurt, and for a mere million five I’ll put in a better effort than the defense they have now. Hell, my son would.
Not to worry. KC is still in the race. Just off to a late start. Got a few minor problems to iron out. Just a little glitch. Next year they will be saying that only 7 of 176 teams that made it to the playoffs started 0-3.
And Asterion, you know now that I’m really gonna pick on you when the Ravens feathers come off.
Making a forcefull effort to keep the tail waggin
I’m still here. And if SBC could keep my fuckin DSL line lit at home I wouldn’t have to wait till Monday morning office time to heap one stinking pile of abuse on you and your Steelers.
Thanks for the uplift AD. Just the knowledge of the fact that my favorite team ain’t the Steelers has put me in a better mood after an unfortunate Chief 0-3 start.
Tail’s a-waggin quickly now.
Since 1990, just four teams that began a season 0-3 came back to earn a playoff berth.
I know the feeling…not with the Steelers specifically. In our darkest season, I think “Good God, it could be worse! I could be a Raiders fan!”
Incidently, if the Raiders don’t start losing soon, I’m going to be pissed.
How does it feel in the basement, Bubba?
Not too bad in September. Come the end of October though, them Chiefs better be standing on top of the Raiders heads.
And lieu, thanks for the correction. I just took a half-assed guess at the stat even after CBS flashed it on the screen about a bazillion times.
You can all continue your pile-on now. Unless SBC got my @###%# DSL fixed I’m off line till tomorrow.
They are welcome to do that, as long as the Broncos are first in the division.
Careful what you wish for. If Jake Plummer is ever on a team that’s in sole posession of first place, I think his head will explode.
Hey, Daniel Snyder… Bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You don’t own the Redskins. Dallas does.
Oh, and Joe Gibbs… sorry Bucko, honeymoon’s over after your completely inept demonstration of clock management and classless refusal to look at Parcells at midfield after the game.
Boy, that must have stung like a bitch, huh?
Any Packers fans in here? I think my G-Men have a legitimate shot at winning in Lambeau next week to reach a previously unimaginable mark of 3-1.
Seriously, Kurt Warner has to be licking his chops while watching game film of the Packer’s pass defense against the Colts. And unlike the Colts, Big Blue actually has a defense.
I see a blowout one way or another. The Giants can stop the run (just ask Clinton Portis) and that will put pressure on Favre to win it with his arm. Which he could do.
But he oculd also go into interception meltdown with Strahan breathing down his neck. I predict a 2 touchdown win. The only problem is that I’m not sure which team will get that win.
I would never have believed that the Jints would be in this position after week 3.
On a side note, mad props to Scary Kerry. I hope he leads the Raiders to a division title. I didn’t want Eli mainly because I wanted Collins to be a Giant. Given that Ernie Accorsi was hell bent on getting Eli, I have to say I’m happy with the results. Warner is looking pretty good, and Collins gets to start.
Technically, my draft day wish has finally come true: “Please let Collins be protected by Robert Gallery.” Strange how things work out.
Well, Bengals fans, your team gave it a good run, but in the end you just couldn’t overcome the dependable arm of Ben Roethlisberger, the strong running back corps, and the strangely glue-like hands of Troy Polamalu. I mean, the dude not only avoided being tackled by his own man, but he ran through your guys like they weren’t even there. That was ESPY material if you ask me.
3-1. Right on schedule for the Super Bowl. Not bad for a team that was being written off from the get-go, eh? All that the Steelers need to do is leave Ben in whe Tommy gets back and school the Ravens in the rematch and they’re good as gold.
I have to admit that was a hell of a pick return.
The Bus is going to have one of the weirdest stat lines ever by the end of the season. He’s going to have like 20 touchdowns and 50 yards.
I’m not one for wishing ill on anyone, but I’m hoping Madox stays sidelined for a while yet. It was a pretty good game. We also have to remind Staley how to hang onto the ball.
Go GIANTS! I, too, picked them this week, and I was rewarded. The game should have been a blowout, but a win is a win is a win. I’m concerned about the Giants squandering scoring opportunities left and right. I’ll take 3-2 in the buy week, and will be even happier if we pull off 4-1
I don’t feel particularly good about the Steelers game yesterday. A Steel Curtain defense doesn’t allow 100 yard rushing games. Routinely. It challenges people on the one yard line, standing rushers up and forcing some kind of roll out toss on third down.
I hope Maddox comes back very soon, because we can’t afford the hail of overthrown passes we’ve had from Rothlisberger. He’s going to be picked off and he’s going to get our receivers killed. Roll him out - he seems to be much more accurate when he’s moving laterally.
I don’t like winning because of bad calls by the ref. They won’t always blow it in our favor.
We simply must step up when we play someone other than the Bengals, Dolphins, or Raiders.
Dear Texans,
Good show! Yeah, I lost some points on the Pick’ems, but fuck it, that was amazing. You are currently my 2nd favorite team in the NFL. Are you going to be playing the Chargers any time soon? Because it would be nice if you could kick their asses as well, just for shits and giggles.
love,
pepper
Dear Broncos.
You won! Good for you! now you better pull your fucking heads out of your fucking asses and get the fucking running game going before I blow a fucking gasket. I do not want to sit through one more nail-biting, down to the wire game because we have no running game! How can Mike Shanahan’s Denver Broncos have no running game? FIX IT! FIX IT NOW!
With much love,
pepper.
Dear Baltimore,
Please beat the Chiefs. They need to go 0-4. It would be lovely. Thanks in advance.
Dear PLG,
We’ll do our best, but be careful what you wish for, the ponies haven’t done too well against us in the playoffs lately.
XXXOOO
Love,
Baltimore
Balmer’s goin Down!
Really. We just had to shake off a few cobwebs.
It’s a late start but we’re ready to go NOW!
First victim = blackbirds!
Tail’s a-waggin again.
I hope you’re right, Bubba. First place outright would be kinda nice.
