connoisseur series500 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 Saw most of the Steeler-Dolphins game last night. It's fairly obvious that the Steelers were a bit lucky to win it all last year and will definitely not be repeating this year. Great defense. Troy Polamalou will have an outstanding year. Ike Taylor is one of the top corners in the game. Joey Porter is Joey P. Casey Hampton at NT stops the run as well as anyone else. Offense sucks. Willie Parker is an average rb. Heinz Ward is the only above average receiver they have. Heath Miller is a very good tight end. Ben Rothlisberger is a good qb, but often injured. They'll miss Bettis. Cincy will beat them out for the divisional title. Miami still sucks, even with Culpepper. They will likely finish 9-7. Although we haven't seen all the first round games yet, the 5 elite teams are likely to be (in no particular order:) New England, Denver, Indianapolis, Carolina, Seattle, Cincy...oops that's 6! Next in line comes the Giants, Cowboys, Bucs, Bears, Steelers, etc. Quote

Big Al Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 Have I mentioned that I hope the Cows go 0-16 this year? And every year that that stupid MF Owens is stinkin' up the joint. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 i've got 10 fantasy teams over on ESPN Quote
Aggie87 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) Saban got screwed during the game last night, when he threw the replay flag but none of the refs caught it. Miller clearly was out of bounds before he scored, so the TD shouldn't have counted. However, I suspect the Steelers would have scored on that drive anyway, since it would have been 1st and Goal on the 2 yard line or wherever he went out, so I'm not sure the ref's missing that call affected the outcome. Saban should have been more forceful throwing the flag, for sure. I don't like T.O. either, Al, but I can't give up my allegiance to the Boys - been with them too long now. Plus I think they've been developing a quality team for the most part, regardless of bringing Owens in this year. The D looks to be pretty damn good, and with a little more firming up on the O-Line, I think they've done a pretty good job on that side, too. edited for spelling mistake - "through" vs "threw"...sheesh, you'd think at this age I wouldn't mess stuff like that up!

Soulstation1 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 joey p = a true mf beast.... i liked how he got his "roll on" after sackin' culpepper Culpepper = Soft hines ward = HOFer heath miller = fast white boy, i beginin' to respect this kid steelers rush "D" looked solid pretty soon the bus will only fit inside a bus Quote
Noj Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 That bum Culpepper's my fantasy QB. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 you could be in trouble...... is your back-up aaron brooks? Quote
Noj Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 Worse, Chad Pennington. I don't think I'll be repeating as office champ. Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 What is up with that re-design of the zebra uniforms? Looks stupid as far as I am concerned. its not a team uniform you freshen up every decade or so! It should be straight black and white stripes as it always has been. Did they get those cheap from the XFL? Quote
Noj Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 The new XFL-looking uniforms won't prevent the zebras from once again making the Raiders the most penalized team in the NFL. I'm sure I can count on plenty of phantom holding calls on the Raiders offense to negate 50 yard pass plays, late hits on the QB to turn Raider defensive stops on 3rd and 29 into automatic first downs, and maybe they'll even dust off the amazing "tuck rule" for old time's sake. Yeeeeeehaw! Are you ready for some football? Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Posted September 10, 2006 I'm off to the sports bar to watch the Pats game. Newly-aquired receiver, Doug Gabriel is inactive for the game. We've only got three receivers suited up: Troy Brown, Reche Caldwell, and Bam Childress. Mr. Brady will be hunting for his tightends and running backs today... Quote
Guest akanalog Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 you like my fantasy team? right now it is- QB-warner RB-portis, cadillac williams, chester taylor, wali lundy, musa smith, cedric cobbs WR-chris chambers, joe horn, nate burleson, matt jones TE-ben troupe, kellen winslow K-jeff wilkins D-seattle i am going to see how winslow looks and drop a tight end and pick up another WR i guess and maybe drop one of my RBs for a backup QB. i want to see how the denver and baltimore starting RBs look first and if smith or cobbs might get a shot.

sal Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 My Bears are looking really good against the Packers so far. May be speaking too soon, but for the first time in probably two years, I'm actually getting excited watching the offense. Quote
Big Al Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 1 down, 15 to go. Parcells doesn't even give a damn anymore, sticking with an injured Bledsoe to throw him right out of the game. Hell, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised to find that Parcells is sabotaging (sp?) the team as one last act of defiance against Satan Jones before going out in a blaze of glory at the end of the season. Aggie, I used to root for the Cowboys, but bringing TO into the mix was the last straw. That and watching as the Cowboy "organization" (as well as my city) kick people outta houses they've lived in for 50+ years so that Jones could build his monument to self-glorififcation and idolatry. Every time I drive by that area (which is by where I work), my blookd boils. THAT is why I hope the Cows crash and burn this year, and why I believe that when Jones eventually dies, Satan will finally be out of a job. Quote

Tjazz Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Manning vs. Manning Offensive pass interference???? Quote
John Tapscott Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Manning vs. Manning Offensive pass interference???? Yeah, that was a bad call. I think the only reason it was called was because the defender slipped and fell down. Quote
Noj Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 I think the call was made because the receiver's elbow came up too high so the push off was obvious. Still, that's an unusual call since receivers push off all the time. Quote
Hot Ptah Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 MF-in' Browns worst sunday performances jake the snake and the broncos carolina stunk up the joint favre and crap bay Oh, don't forget the Griefs. They could go 1-15 if Trent Green can't make it back. Quote
Sahara Blue Orchestra Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Manning vs. Manning Offensive pass interference???? Eli & Giants messed up in the last minute. One of those teams needs to practise their onside kicks. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Posted September 11, 2006 Patriots looked like crap in their first game, but they got the "w." We need to find a couple of mf receivers... Quote
Aggie87 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Patriots looked like crap in their first game, but they got the "w." We need to find a couple of mf receivers... Cowboys have some receivers this year, but need a QB who can tell which jerseys belong to which team. MF Bledsoe threw 3 INTs yesterday to cost us the game v. Jacksonville. One more game like that and I think the Tony Romo era will begin in Dallas. Quote
