Way to choose the Chiefs after they win. ;)

 

Mine:

 

Chiefs over Phins (duh)

Lions over Browns (Yes, Jeff Garcia will win)

Colts over Texans (ugh)

Rams over Saints (If Bulger plays...)

Eagles over Chargers (Yeah...)

Packers over Vikings (Theyd rather be f***ing than playing football... sad...)

Bengals over Steelers (Carson could be the MVP. Carson to Johnson could be the new Peyton to Harrison, Young to Rice, etc)

49ers over Redskins (Yep, Alex gets his first win as a starter)

Seahawks over Cowboys (Julius Jones isnt expected to play...)

Bills over Raiders (I dont think Moss is playing... check that... anyways I say Holcomb brings the Bills another win)

Cardinals over Titans (Fitzgerald and Boldin have been nothing short of spectacular the last 2 weeks)

Ravens over Bears (Anemic offense vs. Anemic offense, this is a toss up)

Broncos over Giants (Yep, Broncos are for real)

Falcons over Jets (Too much Vick, Dunn, and Duckett for the Jets defense to handle)

Wow what is with the entire country right now? I don't understand why everyone is in love with the Bengals. They've played 1 team that is over .500, and they lost. They've been beating up on the bottom feeders of the NFL, yet they are regarded as one of the best teams ... I dont get it. Their defense is extremely suspect, and getting worse, and if you can get pressure on Carson he's not this MVP(AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA oh god I just pissed my pants) candidate that everyone is saying he is. Ike, and Troy will bracket CJ and shut him down, and this game wont be all that close.

 

Sunday, October 23

Detroit Lions at Cleveland Browns

Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans

New Orleans Saints at St. Louis Rams(anyone who picked the Rams must be crazy ... they are nothing without Bulger)

San Diego Chargers at Philadelphia Eagles

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals(The Bengals bandwagon might tip over with everyone trying to jump off at the same time after this game)

San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins

Dallas Cowboys at Seattle Seahawks

Buffalo Bills at Oakland Raiders

Tennesse Titans at Arizona Cardinals

Baltimore Ravens at Chicago Bears(I think me and any 10 posters on this board could beat the ravens right now.)

Denver Broncos at New York Giants(The Giants and Eli will prove they are not forreal.)

 

Monday, October 24

New York Jets at Atlanta Falcons(Anyone see Vick's little brother play yet this year? He can actually throw a pass)

Posted

Saints over Rams

Packers over Vikings

Eagles over Chargers

Redskins over 49ers

Bengals over Steelers

Colts over Texans

Browns over Lions

Seahawks over Cowboys

Bills over Raiders

Broncos over Giants

Cardinals over Titans

Ravens over Bears

Falcons over Jets

I figured Big Ben wouldn't be 100% for the Steelers and I'd also heard that Hines Ward wouldn't play. Add to that Cincinnatti being at home and you got my motivation for picking them.

 

They may be overrated... but Carson Palmer is for real. Haven't seen his stats for todays game, though.

Posted
Everyone about ready to hop off that bungals bandwagon?

 

And yet no matter how you look at it, these Bengals that you think suck so much have one more win than that chump Roethlisberger. 9/14 for 93 yards with an INT and two TDs? Just a touch overrated. :lol:

 

P.S. Because no one else is going to stick up for Cincinnati -- STANDINGS:

 

Team W-L PCT

Cincinnati 5-2 .714

pittsburgh 4-2 .667

 

It's okay though, MC. When your boys lose to the Ravens twice over the next four weeks and Baltimore takes over second place in the AFC North, I know you won't be running your mouth. :lol:

I'm with you on that one. You're the first person that seems to agree with me.

 

If you throw Roethlisberger into a system where he has to make plays to win football games -- he's a very average QB.

Posted
I just hate seeing these headlines that Roethlisberger is carrying the team, the Pittsburgh running offense is doing so just like last season. He's obviously not up in the ranks of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady just yet. Big ben averages under 200 passing yards a game

He's in a system where he just has to not make mistakes, basically.

 

The reason the Patriots have had so much success against the Steelers is because they make Roethlisberger beat them. And he can't.

 

The only thing I hate more than the Big Ben lovefest is the constant Jake Plummer bashing. Plummer isn't particularly great, but he's not as bad as everyone makes him out to be.

As they say ... stats are for losers. The only stat that matters is the +1 in the W column. You can try to piss me off but it's not going to happen. The Steelers couldn't have dominated this game anymore than they did, and they couldn't have completely shut up every single bungals fan more than they did. You can go ahead and bad mouth Ben all you want but at the end of the day he's the best QB in the league according to QB Rating.

 

If anyone thinks any team but the Steelers are winning this division then they are just kidding themselves. The Ravens were dead after week 2, and the Bungals have now come back to earth.

 

Here's a nice stat. Bengals vs. teams under .500 - 5-0. Bengals vs. teams over .500 0-2. Hmmm ... sign of a team thats not so good?

isnt the QB rating a stat as well? just wondering...

 

well yes if you dont throw the ball that much, you will have a good rating. "Big Ben" has completed a total of 61 passes in 6 games, or basically average of just 10 passes a game :what: . the running offense is carrying the team singlehandedly, ben is along for the ride.

Posted
And if the defense has to, almost constantly, put 8 men in the box to stop the run, it's not particularly difficult to have a high QB Rating.

I'm not going to have this argument because it's either jealousy or just bitterness that Ben is so awesome. The only thing I'll say is that all you can do as part of a team is come through when your team gives you the oppertunities to. It's not Ben's fault that we have such a great team that he doesn't need to pass much.

 

BTW he has led 4 4th quarter comeback drives to either tie or win a game, so lets no act like he's never done anything. Say whatever you want about the guy but at the end of the day his career regular season record is 18-2. If you don't think Ben has just a little something to do with this team kicking ass over the last year and a half then you are a complete f***ing moron.

 

and yes QB Rating is a stat but my quote was pointing to the fact that fans of the losing team always say things like ... "well we beat you in passing yards" or "or defense held you to blah blah yards". When you win a game then you can look at stats and gloat about things ... not after you get completely burried.

I don't get what there is to be jealous of Ben. How he has yet to perform well in a playoff game?

Posted
Your point? Brady has 19...

And how many games has Brady played? And how many has ben played?

 

I never bashed Brady, nor will I ever. The guy is flat out the best QB in the league, and has been for the last few years. DESPITE THE STATS. Everyone wants to bash ben for not throwing the ball 50 times and having huge stats, but Brady's whole career has been built on winning, and not stats. The street has to go both ways guys.

He was a rookie last year. He had the best year a rookie has ever had in NFL HISTORY. He's had a whoping 2 GAMES to prove himself in the playoffs. You guys can jump all over Ben if you want to but you really have no grounds to do so. Winning games is all that matters in the NFL, or in any sport, 18-2 ... thats all that matters ... 19-3 if you wanna count the playoffs. Him having 1 bad playoff game ... he wasn't bad against the Pats ... they were just much better ... doesn't worry me.

I never bashed Ben... I just thought you were saying that Ben was the best QB in the league... which isnt true. Fact is, that since they have 3 more than capable running backs, he doesnt need to throw 50 times a game, and what it pretty much comes down to, is that when he has to throw, he executes almost every time.

I'm not saying he's a bad QB, I'm just not jealous of him when I can watch #12 all year.
