I just think there needs to be one...even if I'm the only one posting in it.

So - Predictions for next weeks Mon. Night Pats vs. Bengals game?

anyone anyone....Bueller?

IzzyJr · 09-26-2007, 04:28 PM

I'm not one of those fans who knows everything about everyone so..I like it for the game/sport. That being typed...

Patriots.

**Ophelia** · 09-26-2007, 04:51 PM

Yeah, I don't think it would be wise for anyone to go against the patriots at this point. They look like a machine. Should be a good game though, hopefully.

**Plastic Flute** · 09-26-2007, 06:54 PM

I miss the old Minute man logo

**Ophelia** · 09-26-2007, 07:05 PM

me too! I wish they'd put it back. Did you see the philly throw back uniforms - light yellow and blue - gag. but it worked, they kicked azz.

Ox · 09-26-2007, 10:59 PM

Yea they kicked ass...my Lion's ass

I hope i never again see those uniforms...

I go with the Pats too, tho since that scandal I'm a little down on them.

Which teams do you think have been the surprise teams on the win side so far?

I'm going with Green Bay, Dallas and Houston.

**superboy** · 09-26-2007, 11:10 PM

THEY ARE BACK, BABY!!!!
E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!

The NFC is so weak, its well within the Eagles grasp.

Captain Beefheart · 09-27-2007, 01:48 AM

The Pats are hot this year. It's inexcusable that Belichick would bother to do something so trivial with a team like that.

If they keep this up they are Super Bowl bound. Of course, they haven't really been tested yet. They'll have a lot more to gloat about after Cincinnati and Dallas. Cincy's at home, backs to the wall at 1-2. They have a good vertical passing game, which the Pats have struggled with in the last few years. Aside from the addition of Adalius Thomas, it's the same secondary. This has all the makings of a trap game. I feel for Carson Palmer he could throw for a 1.000 yards in a game and guess what the defense will give up thrice.

Suprises:

-The Chargers sucking so much without Marty.
-The Saints letdown in a pathetic NFC.

Mo · 09-27-2007, 10:57 AM

Pats will win monday.
& hopefully the Eagles will beat the Giants...

^True Dat. OMG - that youtube video is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Beefheart · 09-28-2007, 01:24 AM

The key point is that it's Week 4. I remember Week 3 last year when the Denver defense was being heralded as the second coming of the steel curtain, next thing you know Peyton Manning dumps 40 on them. You don't really know what's up with a season until Week 10, around Thanksgiving where the Lions most likely if they are scheduled will get toasted. Sorry Ox.

I don't think anyone predicted such a letdown from the Saints. And at the same time you have to acknowledge Drew wasn't as GOOD as he was last year. Deuce getting injured broke the camel toe in terms any forward momentum they could get.

If the Patriots stay healthy there are four games that they will have a hard time with: @Miami, Pittsburgh, Dallas, and Indy.

It depends on how well Green Bay plays as that is my Lions opponent. Can Favre continue playing like he has? Are my Lions as bad as they looked at Philly? We'll see....

Deuce is out, and that may have very well been the last time I see him in the black and gold.

I'll be intresting to see how this will change Bush's game, if at all. Drew is in a major slump, Colston is being double teamed and our O line sucks. Not to mention our defense hasn't had any flex for I dunno - 8 years?? aha! these are the Saints I know and love!

Captain Beefheart · 09-28-2007, 04:36 PM

Did you say Reggie Bush?:

Stone cold crazy yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

**Ophelia** · 09-29-2007, 11:02 AM

^Real football players take the hit and get up. A soccer player would just roll around and whine for 3 minutes while trying to get the ref to call a penalty.

Mo · 09-29-2007, 11:40 AM

I still can't believe how bad the Bears & the Saints are...

**Ophelia** · 09-29-2007, 11:41 AM

Gee thanks Mo.

Mo · 09-29-2007, 12:34 PM

heeeh sorry :> i can't ***** to much tho my eagles aren't that hot @ this moment either...

That's because futbol players rarely have faux bravado's based on stupidity and are smart enuff to know when they are down. I'd rather walk to the sideline and sit down than looking like a deer caught in the headlights with noodle legs. You know I wuv ya Ophelia, but those Reggie Bush commercials are turning me into a hater.

Tony Romo baffles. Play of the year? That bobbled snap may be a blessing in disguise. He has bounced back very strong, and we all know being a QB is mostly mental. It's about moxie, confidence, attitude, and preparation.
