[podsednik20]

hmm well, i dont think the redskins have a chance against the Cowboys.

[riverside sluggers]

well look at last week's games how most of the underdogs beat the favored teams, i favor the redskins to beat the cowboys besides the fact cowboys are my asshole of a father;s favorite team

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Cowboys have a decent shot at the play-offs, I don't thinks the Skins are going anywhere but home. But I've been wrong before.

[Cityofchampions33]

If Bledsoe keeps on playin' like he did, they should be in the play-offs no problem. I hate ESPN football analysts, they alwasy pick againts the Pats, after we beat Indy and held em to 3 points, they still chose the Steelers. Now Seahorn comes out and totally disses him. I don't know why we have so many opposers, even though we're the classiest team in the NFL, we never say shit, never brag, and yet we still don't get the respect we should from national analysts.

[podsednik20]

thats true, but the redskins didnt even get a Touch down against the bears, if you dont think that is pathetic then i dont knwo what is, i mean look the Bears Defense sucked last year and it still does, the Cowboys have a much better Defense, and hey the redskins had a beter Defense but the Cowboys still found a way too beat them.

[RedRuffing15]

This is a must win game for the Jets, no way we can catch the patriots down by 2 games(cuz I think they'll destory the cats 28-3). But 1-1, I think we can pull into 2nd with the Fins and the Bills(overrated) losing
Pats2-0
Jets/Bills/Fins1-1

I hope

I hope

if the bills are overrated what are the jets? the bills have one of the best defenses in the league, if not the best.

[RedRuffing15]

Because everysignle year, the Bills will go 1-5 in the first 6 games, then after going 8-1 throught the next 9, they'll have a shot at the playoffs, and lose. This team has not made the playoffs since when, 1999??, I'm not saying their overrated just this year(which I stand by they are), theyre an overrated franchise.


The Jets got killed I saw that, but they were adjusting to the shotgun, I don't know if yousaw the whole game, but half of Penbningtons fumbles were on the snap. They also played a newly put together Cheifs D, which is very good now, The Bills beat the Houston Texans, I know theyve been getting better, but its nothing to to dance about, yet. And, I'm not sure if you knew this, but I read that the Jets have the number pass offense in the NFL. Now I understand most of those yards came froom scrambling to score in the final minuets, but its a stat you cannot ignore.

[podsednik20]

that is very true, but i dont think the Bills are overrated.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

that is very true, but i dont think the Bills are overrated.
I think the Bills are a coming team, but they could stumble a little this tear with a rookie at QB.

[schillingouttheks]

7-0 Pats on some really bad secondary defense from the Panthers.

[podsednik20]

7-7 buti dont think that was a Touch down for the Panthers

[schillingouttheks]

It wasn't, shoulda challenged but whatever, it's fine.

And Randall Gay is injured, this is not good.

[yankeessuck013]

Bucs: 2
Bills: 0

10:00 left in 2nd Qtr.

[schillingouttheks]

I have money on the Bucs.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I like the Bucs too. Is it me or does Brady seem to be off a little on his timing ?

[schillingouttheks]

Well, with the pick he just threw, yes, why, yes he does.

[podsednik20]

10-7 Panthers

[podsednik20]

17-7 wow, Tom Brady isnt lookin too hott today

[schillingouttheks]

It's not all Brady, it's the fucking defense.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Actually both, injuries on corners and Brady.

[podsednik20]

Brady sacked, and the Bears are killing the Lions! i told you the Bears are a great team this year 30-6 Bears

[schillingouttheks]

The Lions also suck.

And yeah, Brady has sucked as well. Special teams too, that's inexcusable.

[yankeessuck013]

Brady sacked, and the Bears are killing the Lions! i told you the Bears are a great team this year 30-6 Bears

bengals are up 27-0 on the vikings

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Bill bettere come up with something for the second half.

[podsednik20]

well, still the Bears are killing the Lions, and I still think the Bears will be on top of their Division, even i\though it is so poor. Yes i know its nothing to be happy about, but it is for the bears since they have not done anything for the longest time

[YanksHater213]

I'm not worried about this game yet. Quick stop after the half and a FG or TD puts us right back in it.

[schillingouttheks]

Psh, 20-7 Panthers. This got ugly fast. Fucking Rodney, don't be a dumbass you just cost us 3 fucking points.

[schillingouttheks]

A much needed score for the Pats, even if it was just a FG. Puts us back into it, and that drive looked better than the others. Let's hope we can keep it up and hope our defense can stop the pass.

We also need to stop getting penalized, it's getting ridiculous.

[podsednik20]

wow, that was the stupidest thing you could ever do Jake Delhomme

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Yes , interception to the house.

[schillingouttheks]

Vrabel looking just like Bruschi!! Pats RIGHT BACK INTO THE GAME! 20-17 Panthers. Let's crank up the diesel Pats.

[schillingouttheks]

To spark some more discussion...how bout them Jaguars?!?! Shutting out the Colts deadly offense through almost 3 quarters, and leading them 3-0. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Go figure, they didn't look that strong last week. I like it though.

[podsednik20]

yeah, but the Colts will hhopefully bounce back and beat the Jags

[schillingouttheks]

Lol, why hopefully?

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Ditto... why the Jags ?

[podsednik20]

well, im hopeing the Colts will beat the Jags because i dont liek the Jags at all. but the Colts are in the redzone, and yeah.

[podsednik20]

7-3 colts, and also, im trying to see how many corect predictions i get right also, so thats another reason why i want the colts to win

[schillingouttheks]

Well, thank God that game is officially over. Go Jets to make the division all 1-1's?

[podsednik20]

wow, that was a very good game, but darnit i wanted the patriots too win, even though i dont like the Patriots that much. They are a good team its just i dont like them

[CrespoBlows]

Anyone else shocked that the Bucs are 2-0?

[YanksHater213]

Not me. I knew they were going to be a solid team coming into the season. I didnt think Cadillac would be doing that well yet either.

[ORS]

Anyone else shocked that the Bucs are 2-0?
I'm certainly surprised a little, but not shocked. Cadillac has surpassed my expectations, but I thought him being added to the team would allow them to gain some ball control differential, which is what the D needed.

[podsednik20]

im deffinitly surprised, and i will be surprised if the dolphins go 2-0 but the Bengals are 2-0 also!!, but im not surprised about that i knew they were going to be a solid team this season

[Sox fan in Tex]

This is embarrassing. The Texans make me sick to my stomach the way they have played in week one and week two. I don't know how I even thought that they had a shot against Big Ben as well as the Steelers fantastic defense. I'll still believe in their playoff hopes because I'll never quit on a team, but they've played as bad as possible.

[RedRuffing15]

I couldn't have hoped for this week to go better, Jets win, all other AFC East teams lose, 1-1 for all of them, next week it'll be split up again. I think I was 100% on my pics so far excpet the Patriots

[podsednik20]

ehh, i wasnt but i was right on most of my pics, and then tomorrow will finish up my picks and yeah, which the giants and saints, and cowboys redskins play

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I think the Bengals sent a message this week that they are hear to stay. Carson Palmer is very good. I though I heard a stat today that he has had 7 consecutive games with ATLEAST 2 TD's. Their offense is great and if their defense steps up like they have so far they will give Pittsburg a run for the division.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

on the bad side.....The Vikings flat out stink. I laughed when everyone said they got better when they traded Moss because its simply not true.

[podsednik20]

yeah thats true, but not every one said they are better, i mean they didnt even win a game when Moss was Injured, and it proves that they cant win without Moss.

[See Red]

They're better in the long term for it.

It's not as though they've been winning Super Bowls up there in Minnesota... they've been struggling to make the playoffs, every year. Williamson will turn into a stud and they'll shore up that defense some more. They'll fire Tice and get an actual coach who can run an offense not entirely based upon streak routes to Randy Moss.

They can still win the division -- who else is all that great in the NFC North?

[riverside sluggers]

the barage of penalties had killed the game for the patriots

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Turn overs and injuries didn't help either.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Thats true, they might still win the division despite themselfes. I just dont believe that offense will be better without Moss. Maybe the Vikings can turn that Moss money into some help on the defense side of the ball.

14-7 Giants....

I'm very impressed with the Washington pick. I got three wrong this week and that was one of them. The other two were Tennessee and St. Louis. Arizona is usually pretty good at home...and San Fran just beat St. Louis (although that means absolutly nothing)...but thats just the NFL for you.

[riverside sluggers]

im calling this out, this is the season of the underdogs. The favored teams just havent been winning so far
