Uhh an unbelievable reciever named Chris Chambers, and did you forget that Denver has absolutely nothing going for them either?


EDIT* Oh, and thank you, I haven't been able to sleep, wondering what your week one predictions where.

I missed this one....Chris Chambers ain't exactly unbelievable, he hasn't even cracked 1000 yards. Denver has nothing going for them? How about the fact that they were the only team in the leauge ranked in the top 5 of both offense and defense? They've got a GREAT secondary, including the top CB in football, Ashley Lelie is poised for a breakout season if Jake Plummer can deliver it, he led the league in YPC last year. Also, have you forgotten about the Denver running back machine? It doesn't matter who is running the ball, someone is going to get at least 1000 yards.

The Pistons won the NBA Championship in 2004 because I picked against them in EVERY SERIES. So, now i'll pick against the LIONS.

Packers 33 - Lions 7

I hope the bills can do better than that :(

they so did

*shrug* you, me, and the rest of the NFL is wondering what happened there. You know that deep in your heart you expected them to get throttled, too.

:Q:|
I beg to differ!

Giants will beat the Cards.


Hahaha, you kool-aid drinking new yorker, the giants have NO chance, ROFL!!!!!!!

Arizona's defense is actually very good and they made some huge upgrades to their offense.

P.S. Eli Manning sucks and you know it :D
LOL. ;):p

You're smug, but remember what I said...Eli Manning still blows. 43%, 172 yards, 2 INTs. Plus, it was still only the Cardinals.

I wasn't responding to you, I was responding to the guy that gave the Giants NO CHANCE against Arizona. I wouldn't say Manning blows just yet. He had some nice passes downfield today, and this is just his 8th pro game. I say we wait and see what we got. The 2 INT's were not exactly his fault, the ball went off the recievers hands and into the waiting arms of the Cardinals. But whatever, INT's are INT's. He did throw 2 TD's today also.

I know you weren't responding to me, I was commenting on your smugness in general. Honestly, I'd be more worried about the 43% completion ratio than the int/td ratio.

Saints 23 Panthers 20 :thumbsup:

LSU won yesterday with new coach. Old coach Saban won coaching Miami.

I wasn't being smug, I was just laughing at the guy who gave the Giants NO chance and called me a NY Koolaid-drinker because I thought the Giants would beat the cards. I know what Eli is now. The question is what will he be in the future. Only time will tell.

Hmm, nice try on that SF/SL game. I have to admit that I didn't expect that either, especially when I saw Rat-trap starting.

Here's your crow. Starts eating. People keep forgeting Giants had number 3 ranked defense last year before half of the team went down with injuries.

Eli Manning is no better and no worse than any other QB making the 8th start of his career.

The last time I checked, the Steelers had a rookie QB win 15 games last year.
