so you are calling the RAMS or the TEXANS a playoff team? thats almost an honest question :p

The Texans have Crocodile Dundee throwing boomerangs every game at the helm while the Rams are....... the Rams. These are not playoff teams.

I said from last year and they couldn't beat the Rams either last year. The other 4 were (3 still are IMO) playoff teams

The Texans were a playoff team from last season. I think that is what he was saying.

If the Giants don't win this week, they might as well go 0-16 and get a good draft pick.

Theoretically if the Giants go 7-4 the rest of the way they could win the East with a 7-9 record.

Who is anyone kidding? The Giants have given up 182 points, the worst in the league.

Wilson has struggled some this year, although his stat line looks ok. Obviously part of that is the OL (he played very well against CAR but has been running for his life since the 49er game). The line is an issue but the bigger problem is the receivers get no separation. I mentioned this last week. The local guys have finally caught on. Sidney Rice (SEA) is getting killed in the local media--and about time. He has caught only 10 of the 24 balls thrown to him. For a number one receiver that number should be closer to 17 in the least. He has a number of stupid penalties and dropped a very catchable ball in the endzone against the 49ers. You take away the JAG game and he has no TDs and not even 100 yards on the year. Not an $8m/yr guy. Last year is the only year he had been healthy in Seattle.

If the OL doesn't get healthy and the receivers pick up the slack Seattle will be bounced from the playoffs early. You cannot win against good teams in the playoffs convering like 2 of 13 third downs. As a Seattle fan I find it concerning we are hoping for Harvin, Rice, Miller, Okung, and Unger to get healthy.

Wilson will be out against the bears.

Daniels out about a month.

A 3rd london game on the schedule for next season.

Hardknocks will now be guranteed every year; if no team "volunteers" the league will assign a volunteer. Hello New England in '14.

Yes I can. And I am.

Good teams don't always win a lot of games. And a lot of the time the final record doesn't tell the whole story. Look that the Girls Cheaters game. In the history books its just another Denver win and Giants loss. But the reality of it was that the Girls played OUTSTANDING.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree. Philadelphia has some offensive talent but they are not a good team. There are some areas in the offense that needs shoring up (especially QB) but the offense is not bad. As for the defense...they have at best 3 players who are good enough to keep, the rest need to go. And that is the whole defense, not just the starters on defense. They are not a good team. I know because I watch them on a weekly basis.

I think even the most optimistic of Giants fans have given up after the Giants let Nick Foles throw for 200 yards and score 3 touchdowns in a half against them at home.

The Hardknocks requirement is stupid. So is adding more London games.. how about just moving the Jaguars there already? Raiders, Falcons and Jaguars are all hosting a game next year. Rumor has it that the 49ers could be playing against the Raiders in London so there is less fan violence.. lol

Jacksonville (AP) - Jacksonville's NFL franchise moved to London, England. There are now 8 scheduled games "across the pond."

Didn't they already try the World League of American Football?
Come to think of it that's about how good the Jags are this year.

Goddammit. I don't get the NFL network with my cable package. FFS... A game the Bears can win, and need to win. Although the Giants need to win as well.
I'll just stream it I guess.

Sigh...please go away

Why don't you keep your constant abusive comments to yourself?
Or are you going to start another thread apologizing for living up to your username?
If you have a problem just go to the control panel and click ignore on my username.
I would do the same to you but you started this thread.

Well I'm feeling very good about my Chiefs over 7.5, my Cardinals over 5.5, and my Tampa Bay under 7.5 bets.

Feeling ok about my Browns over 6 bet.

Not feeling great about my Bengals over 8.5, my Raiders under 5.5, and Broncos under 11.5 bets. :D

You'd think I would have looked that up by now, but I haven't, and I never ever knew wtf that meant when people said over/under because I don't gamble.

Now I know.

....now it makes me want to gamble. :mad:

The over/under is fun. That way you don't care who wins, you just want the teams to either score or not score.

Now if you parlay that with the Jags covering that ungodly spread...you could make a few bucks. Go with the money line if you really want to go big.
