Quote from: chucklesDude, by honest, you didn't have a girlfriend

you're right, I don't have a girlfriend now. I have a pregnant wife.

QuoteWith a QB battle of Travaris Jackson, Brooks Bollinger and Kelly Holcomb it's not hard to be better then people think.  And A rookie RB doesn't make it a young talented team, ask the Tampa fans with Cadillac.

my point about Jackson is that he cannot possibley be any worse than Brad Johnson was last year. In all fairness Adrian Peterson is a much better prospect than Cadiallac was. AP is the greatest Football player to come out of the biggest football state in the country. Plus, we have McCaulley(Rookie CB) who looks like he should have been  a middle first rounder, Robison(Rookie DE) who has been dominating all preseason, Greenway is back and looking really good, and Sidney Rice is likely to be a starter by the end of the season.

Quote from: GoOrangeI disagree. Grossman is adequate enough to be the starting QB on a superbowl winning team. He won't win the game for you, but he won't lose it for you either.

I will send you $50 if the Bears ever win the SB with Grossman as the QB. It's never going to happen.

Quote from: Zachary The FirstHooray!!!  The season starts today!!!  Go Colts!!

BTW, Colts admirers, here's a neat feature I found on Indy Star.  Cool to see where everyone ranks (think you need some plug-in for it):

The Manning Meter

What is Drew Bledsoe doing so high up on that yards list?

yeah, the Colts are my second favorite team. You have to love Manning great player and great person to boot. Can't wait for the game tonight.

Quote from: McrowI will send you $50 if the Bears ever win the SB with Grossman as the QB. It's never going to happen.

I'd call Trent Dilfer rule.  They might win in spite of, rather than because of, Grossman.

Oooh...Ooooh...can I get in on that action?

You're safe with that bet, but not because of Grossman.  It's because whoever the NFC sends is going to lose, anyway.

Actually, I'm safe with that bet because it's a never-ending bet.  He can never prove, until Grossman dies, that the Bears have not won the Superbowl with Rex as QB.

Manning's a hack - he'll be out of the league doing ESPN2 commentary on Division II college games in two years...

Brady?  Pretty boy has-been.

LT? How many ways can the Chargers fuck up a great team? Let me count them...




Their jokes people, calm down.  I mean, Rex is our quaterback - how many stones can I throw? And if I do, how many will be intercepted?

Quote from: James J SkachOooh...Ooooh...can I get in on that action?

If GoOrange declines the bet, it's all yours.

Yeah, that's why it's a good bet. I doubt any team from the NFC will beat SD,IND or NE  much less a team with Grossman for QB.

Anyone got picks for the biggest come-back kid of the season, and biggest heartbreaker?

I think Houston is finally go do well this year, and I think Seattle is gonna fold this year.

Suddenly appearing: J - E - T - S

Finally dying on the vine: Broncos






Homer comeback pick: Chiefs D

Wow.  The Saints came out flat tonight.  After the first half, they looked awful.  I hope they pick it up.  I like Drew Brees too much for this to be a harbinger of the rest of his season.  Hopefully, that was just 1st-game boo-boos.

But, man, is it good to have the NFL back!

Ouch.  Credit where it's due.  The Colts looked good, oh humble fan.

Oh, here's my picks for everything:

Top Seed, AFC:  Chargers
AFC Champ:  Colts...for now...but that's just because they haven't lost it yet.
Flop of the Year, AFC:  Randy Moss
Guy Who Will Be In Trouble By End of the Year, NFC:  Randy Moss
Better Than You Think:  Pitt Steelers
Worse:  Baltimore Ravens (slightly, but still with a great D.  Won't finish well).
Just As Bad As You Think:  K.C. Chiefs

Top Seed, NFC:  Chi-Town Bears.
NFC Champ:  Eagles.  That, or they lose 8 games.
Flop of the Year:  T.O., I hope.  How many drops can he have?  How long before he tears into a teammate or his new coach?
Guy Who Will Be In Trouble By End of the Year, NFC: Jon Gruden
Better Than You Think:  Detroit Lions(yeah, I can't believe I typed that, either)
Worse:  Minnesota Vikings
Just As Bad As You Think: Atlanta Falcons

It'll be fun to see if I got about 85% of this wrong, like last year.

Wow, the Colts don't seem to have lost a step. They destroyed the Saints. Best part 3TD passes thrown on David, the ex-colts DB.
