Official NFL Football Thread

[Mikey202]

I'll get it started. Browns spank Giants, Roy Williams traded to Cowboys, ect.

Discuss and show your fanhood and love of the game.:usa

[King James]

didn't know Roy Williams got traded.

Am glad the Pack got the W this weekend though

[CBI_2]

Great move by the Lions. They need the picks to fix the years of Millen's mistakes.

Go Bucs!

[Clampdown]

I love watching the Cowboys crumble. Jones is trying to go out there and grab anyone he can to take the news away on Pacman. Thats what happens when you surround yourself with thugs, your team gets dragged through the mud. I hope the NFL moves on from Pacman and they make an example out of him, that if you dont follow the rules go play in Canada, we dont want you here. ;)

[Steelerfanatic]

Who would have thought that after Millen was canned, the Lions would make there first great deal. ;)

This is a huge win for the Lions IMHO. They get a 1,3 and 6 and give up Williams and his salary and 7. Very good deal for the Lions.

This is why I love being a Steeler fan. The Roonies will not allow this to take place with their team. They only bring in players with good character.

GO STEELERS!

The Bengals are awesome baby! 0-6!

I'm enjoying 5-0!!!

[NCRadioMan]

I'm enjoying 4-2. How bout them Falcons and Matty Ryan!

[VirtualSmitty]

Despite the disappointing last game, i'm still excited about the Giants!

[kgoings]

Oops, I dont know how I missed this thread...but I started another one...maybe it can be deleted cause I can not edit it.

I was starting the thread with the question, post who you root for AND WHY!

Me I grew up in Nebraska, and an rabid Nebraska Football fan. There are not any Pro teams in the area, and I never really developed an interest in any. My father always watched the packers, although I am not sure he is a Packers fan...just a football fan.

And another thing...I HATE BANDWAGON FANS!

So that being that, I was living in Dallas, and surrounded by Cowboy fans. My wife asked me one day, 'Your such a huge Nebraska fan, and really follow college footbal...why don't your follow Pro?' I pondered the question and then said...'well I never picked a team' and she responded..not knowing what she was getting into lol 'You should pick a team, it would be fun!'

So I went to thinking about who MY team would be, and there was no way I was picking the Cowboys, I just could not STAND some of the players on that team. So I sat down and thought about the players I liked and the teams I watch...this was in 99 and the playoffs were just getting started...and ALL the teams I could think of that I could "Like" were in the playoffs... ewwwwww that might make me a Bandwagon fan. So I could not pick any of them. So I kept it in the back of my head, and along comes a job offer in Phoenix....we move to phoenix...and on the flight there it occured to me! NO ONE WOULD CALL ME A BANDWAGON FAN FOR BEING A CARDINALS FAN! LOL!

So I bought season tickets on the 50 yard line, and I am just as Rabid today about the Cardinals as I am about the Huskers! I know long story, and the Cardinals have really sucked the past couple years. But it is fun rooting for the home town team. They have some really cool players, and I have met alot of them around town. And now that they are becoming somewhat "Okay" it is really fun!

That was a great trade for the Boys. They had no one to compliment TO. Now they have two #1 Receivers on the same team. He's been trying to get Williams for two years so I dont see how he's trying to take the news away from pacman :confused::confused:. By the way whats your team?

[okierock]

Kansas City Chiefs fan here.

Tough season so far but I still like Herm and I hope they give him at least two more years to get things going in the right direction.

Herm is a great tallent scout and doesn't allow losers like PacMan Jones on the team.

[Beer Doctor]

Go COWBOYS!!! Roy Williams will be awesome and Brad Johnson will be sufficient. Mike Jenkins will be just as good as Pacman, if not better. We'll weather this storm and rally. Woot woot.

I doubt it :D

[white_s2k]

I hope Pacman Jones never plays another down for the Cowboys.

Not too sure about the Williams trade.. but we'll see how it goes. I think the worst is behind us, and Brad Johnson will get us through until the bye week.

GO COWBOYS!!!!

Too bad I can't argue :D

I think he'll be fine, we have 3 games and then a Bye week. And hell this week SHOULD be a bye considering we're playing the Rams.

[Comicbookfreak]

Go Cowboys! Injuries have hurt us this year and the NFC East is back to being the strongest conference in football. I am trying to be optimistic. Let's see what happens by playoff time.

[phidelt076]

Here's the daily update from the land of the Cowboys:
* Both Roy Williams' will be playing Sunday
* Wade went on record saying he doesn't think Pacman will play another game this year.
* After Favre called Romo, Romo says he will be playing Sunday. Threw passes in practice today.
* T.O. seems genuinely excited to have Roy take some of the attention away from him (on the field).
* I'm more concerned with how Roy reacts to being second fiddle.

I think he's just glad to be out of Detroit :D

[Beer Doctor]

I think he's just glad to be out of Detroit :D

I agree and he's plenty rich now too. He'll have his days as #1 soon enough. T.O. is getting old.

The Cowboys are under the microscope. The media makes too much of their current situation. I think they'll be fine. Regardless, it's a much better situation than the late 90's early 00's.

:ss This is why I love Steeler football :ss

Best safety in the league......hands down!

[jaycarla]

Colts.

There, now the thread is official.

[Mikey202]

Ok, sleepy-heads...it's Sunday morning, you should have your Fantasy teams all squared away, had breakfast and getting your jerseys on. :ss

Good luck to all, ( not the Bungles:D).

Ya'll think Romo will play today? Heard he got a call from Brett Favre, tellin' him he should play. :2Well, Romo ain't Brett Favre. I think it would be a huge mistake, for him to play.:2

I look for the Steeler Defense to tee-off on the Bungles today. I think that Hines Ward getting find by the NFL this week, has the whole team fired up:fl.

[AD720]

What's the over-under on TO having a meltdown today when Roy Williams gets more receptions?

[elderboy02]

Go Bengals! 0-8. :fu


Lets do the same so we can make history by going 0-16 :fl

[tedrodgerscpa]

Colts.

There, now the thread is official.

Are you ready for some Football?

Not if my team the Lions can get there first. To bad they don't get to play to see who the worst really is!:ss

Wouldn't a Lions v. Bengals game be fun to watch on Thanksgiving Day?

[jaycarla]

Sunny and 63 here in the Seattle area tonight. Great night to BBQ, Smoke, and watch the Colts kick the Titans arse!!

COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, forgot to add that there will be a little :al also.

[jaycarla]

Fooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

I need a smoke.

[Vitis]

Fooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!


I hear ya. Anyone else think the Titans are starting to look like the real thing? Great D, but Im shocked they're putting up over 30 pts.

:al:al:al:al:al:al:al:al:al:Must be tough living out in WA with the way football is going, Seattle is bad, the Colts suck, and it seems that at least one of the college teams is doing a Bengals imitation. Hope that it gets better for you (except for the Colts). Smoke a good one and things will seem better.:ss

[Vitis]

That's Haaarsh. Luckily Im a transplant masshole or I'd be offended. :D It has been a damn good decade though.

Good morning Colts fans!!! :r

Great game. Loved watching the progression of the Peyton Puss as the game got worse.:ss

Ugh. Why I torture myself.


The boys will get to take out their frustration on the Pats this week. They will get it turned around, they have to!!:fl

8-0

[tedrodgerscpa]

Nice win, Colts! I think it's a different game with Brady under center, but a much needed win for the wildcard position.

[taltos]

Nice win, Colts! I think it's a different game with Brady under center, but a much needed win for the wildcard position.Congrats Colts fan. It's a different game if our coach quit taking clock management lessons from Herm Edwards.:fl

[Vitis]

Congrats Colts fan. It's a different game if our coach quit taking clock management lessons from Herm Edwards.:fl


Yah, that was painful to watch. Ive never seen Belichick seem so out of sorts. On the other hand, gafney makes the easy catch and clock management isn't a problem. Dave Thomas is on my sh%t list now as well. :mad:

[Starscream]

8-0

:tu
Tough win. Keep that streak up. Seems like Tennessee is still not taken too seriously by the media though.

[DBall]

Yesterday was a GREAT friggin day! Being a Jets fan and living in upstate NY is never much fun... but yesterday, my team slapped the shizz out of the local favorites. I'm positively giddy. Now with the Pats dropping the ball, there's a 3-way tie in my division. If Favre can keep his head out of his ass, we could have a good season...

:D

[kgoings]

GO CARDS!

We have a winning record at the midway point for the first time EVER! (in AZ, they had a winning record at midway in 84 but they were in StL) And we have a 3 game lead in the NFC West. I think the Cardinals are the team to go the longest without a Division Title, 33 years...second place was like Cleveland at 14 years.

It seems since Michael Bidwill tookover as Pres, things have been turning around slowly. It will be interesting to see what they do this offseason, they have some very tough decisions. Boldin wants a new contract, so does Dansby, so does Warner. What do you do with Leinart.

GO CARDS!

[Mikey202]

Lot of good games on today, man I love Sunday.:ss

[taltos]

Go Pats, Go Steelers, Go Giants!:dance::dance:

[Starscream]

8-0

9-0:salute:


Looks like Carolina is gonna be 7-2 after today as well. :tu

[Starscream]

Monday Night Football: 49ers vs. Cards. This is a good game. I thought Arizona would run away w/ it, but SanFran has held them at bay so far.

[e22byrnes]

http://www.comments.zingerbugimages.com/glitter_graphics/go_49ers_finger.gif

Singletary may be able to turn this ship around right. (Finally)

[jaycarla]

Pulling for the Niners and Singletary, but that last pick may kill them.

[Starscream]

Pulling for the Niners and Singletary, but that last pick may kill them.

It appears to be the last nail in the coffin. Still winnable by SanFran, but not likely.

[Starscream]

Best Game I've Seen in a Long Time!! Came down to the wire. I thought the 49ers were gonna come back and get it w/ :04 to go. Outstanding effort by both teams!

[acarr]

Great Monday night game. The Cards were trying every way possible to lose and they came away with a victory.

[Starscream]

Panthers 8-2. :)


Titans look like soon to be 10-0 :tu

[Rockestone]

They are looking good. I have good feelings about this year!!:ss

[Starscream]

They are looking good. I have good feelings about this year!!:ss

Would love to see them go all the way again this year. Tough schedule coming up the next few weeks for them though. They need to step their game up from here on out.

[dcamacho]

ive never seen a Tie game before .... that was pretty cool. eh .... not really :hm

[jaycarla]

Colts 6-4 and schedule is softening up some, I like it.

[shvictor]

Big win for the boys tonight

[Starscream]

eh .... not really :hm

:tpd:

[DBall]

Wow... this is actually a good season for a Jets fan... I'm not used to this feeling... :tu

[chippewastud79]

The tie by the terrible team known as the Bengals is just more proof why the NCAA is better than the NFL. NO TIES :bh

[Starscream]

10-1:(:mad::c:bh:al:hn
All good things come to an end. Still a damned good record.

[Mikepd]

J! E! T! S! Jets! Jets! Jets!

[DBall]

J! E! T! S! Jets! Jets! Jets!


Hell yeah, brother!

I won't take it too hard as long as my Panthers win today.

[Rockestone]

I won't take it too hard as long as my Panthers win today.

They are struggling a little early.

Surely, Atlanta can't keep that up!

[Starscream]

They are struggling a little early.

Surely, Atlanta can't keep that up!

Sure hope I'm wrong, but I have a bad feeling about today. They're playing just as bad as they have the last two weeks. They have to step their game up to Atlanta. Maybe they'll comeback after the half like they did w/ Arizona.

[Rockestone]

Were (past tense). Both the Titans and the Panthers lost today. I am heartbroken.:(

That last quarter was embarrasing

That was bad. I thought we had a chance in the third quarter, but then they started sucking again.:fl

[Starscream]

I thought we had a chance in the third quarter

True. The third quarter was the best football the Panthers have played since the game against Arizona.

[tedrodgerscpa]

As an original Houston/Tennessee fan, I'm a bit sad after the loss today.

I know I shouldn't have been, and wish the lost came against the NFC (I'd much rather have lost to GB, Minnesota, or Chicago)... I remember the last team to lose one game all year long, and I'm sure that the Patriots loyal fans would have preferred the loss to come in November.

Jeff Fisher is probably the best head coach in the game, and he'd be much more likely to put starters up on the shelf once home field was clenched.


A few thoughts on the game:

Tennessee's running game was absent again today, and the defense gave up a bit more 'short yardage' passes than they should have.

Brett Favre is still a real threat, and the J E T S are one game closer to winning one of the toughest divisions in football.

Kerry Collins is still the answer to the QB non-controversy. I felt sorry for the Titans receivers who kept getting hit directly on the hands and between the numbers all day.



I'm pulling hard for the Chargers tonight. Would be nice to lock down the division sooner so that guys can rest.

[tedrodgerscpa]

Nice Kick, Vinatiere. Came through when you needed it.

Nice game, Colts Fan.

You were watching Eagles/Ravens too? :pu:hn

Green Bay v. New Orleans game is a close one tonight. Not a bad game.

[VirtualSmitty]

I'm starting to think a Giants repeat might not be totally out of the question :ss

[Starscream]

Wow! I didn't expect Dellhome and the Panthers to beat Green Bay today! Go Panthers! Still tied for #1 in the NFC South!

GO Panthers!

[smokinj]

Steelers 9-3!!:ss

GIANTS 11 and 1 :ss

They shouldn't have. Packers blew it. Friggin Panturds!

Go Falcons! ;)

Congrats to the 2008 AFC South Division Champion Tennessee Titans!

A Jets loss brings a first round bye, and things are looking good at the half!

[Starscream]

They shouldn't have. Packers blew it.

True. But a win is still a win.:)


Congrats to the Titans!!

[jonharky]

0-13 goooooo Lions!! I am hoping we get put on the same list as the bucs from the 70's

[Starscream]

Surprised to see the Giants lose today.

[Vitis]

Went to Qwest field today to see my beloved Pats on the road against the hawks. First time Ive gotten to go to a pats game in ten years! Wow, Talk about some bad defenses. Felt good there though, and reminded me of how much I miss being able to go to games.

~Vitis

[VirtualSmitty]

Surprised to see the Giants lose today.

You and me both. And to the Eagles, ugh. I do beleive they clinched the divison though with the Cowboys loss.

Just got back from the Steelers Cowgirls game. Boy was it cold!!!!!

I feel like the Pats played the Seahawks a few years ago in Seattle. I suppose I could be wrong.

I'm surprised the Jets lost to the 49er's. I'm pretty psyched about it though. :dance:

[Starscream]

Go Panthers!

[Vitis]

I feel like the Pats played the Seahawks a few years ago in Seattle. I suppose I could be wrong.


Four (maybe five) years ago they played at Foxborough. I believe the last time the Pats played in Seattle was in 93'.

Where's my defense, Panthers?:confused:

[Starscream]

Go Panthers!!!


10-3

[elderboy02]

Congrats to my Titans!

[Starscream]

Wow. Both #1 seeds are out of the playoffs.

[tedrodgerscpa]

Just wanted to make sure that I said it everywhere I needed to...

Congrats to the B'more Ravens, and thanks for the flashback to 2000...
