I know that it's early but I am already missing seeing a weekly football game or two.
I've got some news tidbits from the KC Chiefs camp. RB Larry Johnson and TE Tony Gonzales have stated that they would like to be traded off. I think that we can live without LJ but I would really hate to see TG go. He is a world class TE and always has been. It will really hurt the Chiefs to lose his talent.
Now I'm sure that you heard that Scott Pioli from the Patriots camp is the Chiefs new general manager but I heard today that the Chiefs were given permission to speak with Arizona Cardinals Offensive Coordinator ,Todd Haley about being the Chiefs new head coach. Former Chiefs Head Coach, Herm Edwards was let go two weeks ago.
-
I'm definitely interested to see what comes of the Chiefs this year. It sounds like a lot of turmoil there.
-
Are they going after the offensive coordinator of Arizona? He seems like a good canidate. It seems like all the experienced head coaches are gettin couched! I thought for sure we would have seen Marty Shottenheimer by now, but it seems the trend is to go with younger and not as much experience. Guess it worked in Pittsburg!
-
I feel that Herm was just too docile of a coach and that we needed more of a drill sgt type. I know that Pioli and Haley have worked together before. Hopefully, these two can whip the team back into shape. Even though we didn't win much, last year, I did like watching the rookie heavy team evolve and felt that they were on the right track. I still dread the impending loss of TG, though. His great plays always had a way of creating momentum. I can understand that he would like to give his great career a silver lining by playing for a winning superbowl team. You know that this will be his 10th pro-bowl.
-
I saw his interview where he said that he wouldn't mind staying with the team if it looked like they were gonna stop rebuilding and start winning! I am kinda anxious to see who were are gonna loose this year. Man I hope our schedule isn't as tough as it was this year! From what I hear Miami has a horrible schedule.

Sounds like he is still on the fence about it. He could probably do without glory hound LJ, also. I'll bet that alot of teams would like to have him.
-
yeah, he is gonna make some money! He really has to go with the highest bidder as he is a veteran and could really be thinking about retirement after this contract.
-
The Chiefs say now that there looking into recruting Casteel from the Pats to fill one of the spots in their QB roster. Now I like Tyler Thigpen and think that he matured as a QB quite a bit last season but we could use a good backup.
-
lame they traded matt cassel , i kinda hate the pats but i just admired the guts that kid haas !!!
-
The Pats always seem to have some knowledge that transends rationale NFL understanding. I still would have thought they would have made sure Brady is ok before totally letting him go, but what do I know. Ole Bill is an NFL genious thats for sure, even though his Pats have taken out my Steelers many years I have to admit that.
-
i know there r bears fans here. any opinions on your new qb?
-
MAN, I am TORN! Cutler DOES have one hell of an arm, and he has a good deal of confidence. Still, I have faith in Orton, too. Dump Grossman for all I care. NOW, with that said, Cutler does have a habit of throwing pics in the 4th, and he doesn't have any premier receivers to throw to. It'll be definitely interesting. I'm VERY eager to see how it all play out.
-
grossman's already gone isnt he?
-
I was gonna ask Pat what he thought about Cutler coming too. Its been an intersting drama. NFL network has been feeding it like a soap opera. Looks like Dante Stallworth is in a bit of trouble too.
-
The Grossman thing is a head scratcher...I keep hearing that he's gone, but then I hear he's a Free Agent and the Bears are NOT going to resign him, but on Yahoo! Sports he's still listed as a bear. Good riddance to him tho.
-
Well, the Chiefs 2009 schedule has been made public and we are going to have our hands full as 3 of the first 4 games are against 2008 playoff teams.
at Baltimore 11-5 sept 13
Oakland 5-11 sept 20
at Philly 9-6-1 sept 27
ny giants 12-4 oct 4
all are noon games and kc doesnt have a single prime time game all season. In December, chiefs play 3 games in a row at home for the first time since 96
No easy break in period for GM Pioli or HC Todd Haley, I guess.
-
i heard soemthing bout a firday xmas game???? an people also complained about jewish holiday games that start at 4pm instead of 1 , becasue of yan kipur that starts at sunset vadsab
-
Yeah I saw the schedule had come out. They had the GM of Kansas City on the NFL network going over the new schedule. I am glad my Steelers seem to have a decent schedule. Ofcourse they had the hardest one last year and made good.
-
See the Pack is paying the Steelers a visit late this season,. Gotta say I am a bit disapointed about the lack of the Packs pick ups in free agency this season, though that seems to be Ted Thompson's (GM) style. Now I am really looking forward to the draft.
Of course its also time to give some thought to fantasy football season again ;)
-
Packers got any prime time games this season, wayne?
-
I didn't take a look at the full schedule Sarge, that match up will be fun. I am so ready for another round of fantasy football.
-
Veteran of 10 pro bowls, KC Chief TE Tony Gonzales was traded today to Atlanta for a second round draft pick.
I will hate to see him go. The chiefs just arn't going to be the same without him. At least we don't play Atlanta, that often.
-
Wow, I guess they thought he was getting a little old in the tooth. Man that guy is gonna help Atlanta get very close this season. He and Ryan are gonna be a tough combination. I am scratching my head a bit about this one. What does the general KC folk think about this Clint?
Draft day isn't far away folks.
-

They and I are, of course, poed about it. Some, tony G included, may have thought that this was a rebuilding year, what with a new owner and a new head coach, but I was thinking that we could do something special.
Tony is a gridiron warrior who had mentioned that he is wanting to go to the superbowl and had apparently made his decision and had skipped the last two team get togethers, possibly to inspire the chiefs decision.
That guy has some great hands and some serious speed.
-
Seems kinda sad to me. I would have thought Peoili or however you spell his name would have worked with him.
-
Well its Draft Day! I just turned on the tube to see who we are getting . I doubt if the Steelers have picket yet though. They usually don't do any wierd deals to move up in the draft. I see the first pick went to Stafford and good luck in Detroit. Still they have a few decent names there now if they can get em to play as a team. I wonder how Calvin Johnson is feeling today knowing he has a few other recievers coming and perhaps a QB he can count on in the near future. I hope Stafford is ready to get his feet wet, I see them starting him right off the bat.
I can't wait till Fantasy Football starts again. Sarge you gonna do our league again I hope?
-
Am I hearing right? Favre is going to talk with Brad Childress of the Vikings? Say it ain't so. I bet the folks in Wisconsin are going nuts! Sarge what do you think of this one?
-
I just heard this on the news and I thought that the wife was going to hurl her coffee mug right at the TV. She is not a happy camper about this. Wasn't he traded to the Jets because they don't play the packers?
the Packers and Vikings are one of the Bigger rivalries out there.
-
Wow! Just read and now hearing on NFL network that Steve McNair and an unidentified woman was found shot to death in a condiminium in Nashville.
-
You wanna talk about a week of shocking deaths here! I was a pretty big fan of McNair because he always seemed to be such a tough player. Injured more often than not, he played through many injuries. I rooted for him when he was with Tennessee. It's a shame.
-
Well McNair's death was blamed on a gilted mistress. It seems too easy an answer to me.
I am so behind on my football intel this year. I do not know what my Steelers are up to. I see we got rid of a few recievers and one good defensive player, but other than that I have no idea what they are up to. I did see elder Rooney is now an ambassador to Ireland so I guess his son is running the team now. I think he was pretty much doing it anyway.
I did see that KC signed their QB to a six year deal today. I bet Clint will be smiling more this season! Does KC play NE this year? I would love to see Brady face Cassel this year. Daggone dude is getting 28 million gauranteed. Pioli gets things done period.
-
that he does. Lets hope it goes that way for designing wins for the chiefs this tough season. I will have to check the scheduale to see if we play NE.
-
Watching my team's first preseason game and wasn't too impressed by Ben. He seems to really be out of shape. Hope he gets it in gear before the regular season. I guess he doesn't see the need to perform well yet. Man, Reed kicked a fifty nine yarder though. There are quite a few younger guys looking good like Limas Sweed too.
Oh, did you guys see Philadelphia is getting Vick?
-
I did see that and don't know that I agree with him playing again at all. I'm sure that they told him that he needs to keep his nose clean.
Who won that game, Shawn? I went to bed.
-
Pittsburg won, but it was mainly just the rookie show for the most part. I did notice that Brady looked like he was back to form though. He threw one interception, but looked pretty good.
-
My Cheifs play tomorrow. We will get to see what the new team looks like.
I can't believe that they still have Croyle as a backup qb. I still have alot more faith in Thigpen.
-

Check out Johnson for me. I actually have him on one of my fantasy teams that drafted a few days ago. I am thinking he is gonna do better things this year.
-
I'm sure that alot of you have heard by now that Brett Favre signed on with the Vikings today.
He will start in the game against the Chiefs, this Friday.
-
Well, I guess there was some fire with all that smoke. Poor packer nation, a lot of upset folks there I would imagine. Perhaps Wayne will let us in on the WI skippy. Well, looks like Tavaris or Sage is gone. At this point I would say Tavaris needs to start looking for a new gig.
-
Not much to say,
One one hand, if a player wants to play he should be able to, That said I think Favre has lost alot of credibility and a big part of Packer nation thinks he wants to play for many of teh wrong reasons, He is on record stating he only wanted to play for the Vikes to stick it to the Packers GM, I also feel he screwed teh Jest and their fans over just to get what he ultimatly wanted last season, and that was to play with the Vikes, By doing his retirement BS and getting the Jets to allow him to retire and relinquish their rights, he screwed the Pack out of a couple of future 1st round picks. I know what he said but I personally feel much of this was planned on his part. Just poor form.
That said, let him play and let the Vikes loose :)
-
Anyone planning on watching Favre's Viking Debut tonight? Looks like I only get the Dallas game, but NFL Network is reairing it at 11pm.
-
I'll be watching since it is the only game being played locally ::) I do like to watch division games but am so tired of hearing about Favre
-
Yep, I will be watching to see how the chiefs do. As if favre wasn't bad enough, we will also have former de Jared Allen to contend with. He was the sack leader two years ago. I think he got ten sacks, last year.
-
Perhaps I will bring up chat and see if you guys can fill me in on how he is doing. LOL.
-
Had chat up for a bit, but you guys were yelling at your tv screens at Favre. Let me know how he does.
-
Well, I am waiting for the Denver / Bears game and am watching NFL Total Access and just got through watching my Steeler's coverage. I was sad to see we had injuries to Parker, Holmes, and Timmons. Still, the first team offense looked good. Hines Ward looked like he hasn't missed a step. Heath looked good. Defense looked good. Gonna be a fun season.
How are the rest of your favorite teams doing?
-
The Packers are rolling, the starters put up 38 on Arizona's starters on Friday night. Rodgers looks superb, Favre who??? ;D The new 3 4 D is really on fire. Woodson had 3 turnovers forced alone. All in All I have very high hopes this season, last years dismal D looks to be dead and gone, well see come the regular season but now they look good.
-
Watching the Bears/Broncos right now, and I realize it's only preseason, but I still have my reservations about the Bears passing game. Cutler is top notch, but it's the receivers that are the question for me...
-
I thought Cutler did a bang up job last night. I think if they get him a couple of good recievers (Marshall anyone?) that Chicago will be tough to beat!
-
Football has officially begun! I'm watching the Steelers/Titans game, and already I'm annoyed with the officiating. Polomalu got flagged 3 times, but only 1 was blatant. The other 2 were not penalties in my opinion. It's just great to have football to watch again!
-
Yepper, that one where they called him for pass interference when he was being messed with was pretty awful. I was sure sad to see him go down, but at least it wasn't a season ending injury. I guess it will be three to six weeks before we see him back. I must say I was kinda drowsy today, but it was worth it to see me get a win. I was pretty ticked at Hines for a bit there. Oh well, we won. Looks like the O line still has some issues though.
-
One thing I did notice and it is only my opinion is that big Ben needs to better manage a game and learn when to throw it away, he took the Steelers out of FG range, took a few to many sacks by holding on way too long, if he gets quicker at reads it would certainaly help another SB run.
-
Yepper ole Ben did take that one sack where he should have just thrown the ball away, he and the O line sure have given me a few grey hairs. I keep hoping a few more years in the league will give him the experience he needs, but his double and triple pump fakes with a line like he has make me wonder just how good a backup QB we have.
-
I can't tell you how excited I am for todays games, the opening weekend. WHOO HOOO, I know teh season "started" Thursday but no wall the pre games, the 9 hours of games ;D. Plus I have my Packers opening up at home against Da Bears..
-
Well my Chiefs play the ravens at noon and last I heard, the still hadn't announced who the starting qb was to be. "sigh"
The wifey and I will be watching the Packers though.
Poor cat hates it when the wife hollars at the tv.
-
It was a good Sunday. It was nice to see the Lions score some points even though Breeze put up some major points on em. All in all a good Sunday. I thought the Chiefs held thier own against Baltimore pretty good. I watched the first half of that defensive onslaught that was Chicago and Green Bay. Looks like Urlacher was hurt? Guess we get to see Brady tonight. I would love to see Rivers take on the Raiders, but way past my bedtime really.
-
Well how in the world did Buffalo loose? I guess it is Brady. That San Diego team I thought would kill Oakland too, but perhaps Oakland has some team this year. Gonna be a fun week 2!
-
So far so Good for the Packers, they squeeked one out against the Bears, close, sure but a win is a win. Looks like the season is done for Urlacker, wrist surgey has to suck, one I wouldn't want to have done. Hopefully the Pack will get the O line sorted, and fast. We don't have any QB really other than Rodgers, only 1 back on one the roster Matt Flynn. Scarry.
-
that was a tough game, buddy, but a good one. The wife was Yelling at the TV the whole time.
-
Another Sunday is upon us, I tell you, I feel like a kid at Christmas on Sundays during football season, The air around here is filled with expectations, It's a nice fall day and I would be tempted to head to see the game live if my brother wasn't home. I think I will be going to the next home game after this. I am biased but Lambeau is the best place to see a game. The same field for 50 years, the basic bowl and playing field have not changed. It just oozes history.
-
What a tough loss fo rmy Pack today, D played well but the offense was very spotty, still came down to the wire in an exciting game. Now I am watching teh Steelers hopefully beat the Bears.

I can't get that game, but am following the score on Yahoo Stat tracker. Looks like a close game. I thought GB had that game well in hand several times and was quite surprised to see they didn't come away with it. Talk about some game. I though Ocho's leap was a travesty. I wish the GB fans had poured thier beer all over him.
-
Well my team lost too Wayne. Daggone Reed missed two field goals, one of em a not so hard thirty some yarder. I bet he is getting the cold shoulder on the way home now. Still, he has won a few of those types of games for us too, you take the good with the bad and vice versas sometimes. If only Pat was kicking my fantasy tail!
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!! Another Chiefs loss? Crap.
Heard about that Packer game. The wife was hating that we missed out on that one but was on top of the highlights when they appeared.
-
Another big game for Packer fans as the Monday nighter is nearing, Pack Vs Favre and the Vikes, I am sure many fans who don't like either team are feed up with hearing about this matchup. If the Packers O line holds and we stop AP, it may be a game. We'll see.
-
That is gonna be one excellent game on so many levels. I bet it will be watched by millions. As for my team, I am just wanting a win at this point. It seems we are one dimensional with not much of a running game. Willie is now hurt, Mendenhall was removed from last week's game because he didn't know the daggone offensive play calls, so it looks like Moore (a one down back at best) is gonna be our ball carrier. We are gonna have to go to the draft this year to get a new RB I am thinking. Plus Limas Sweed is dropping balls so I am just not sure about this one. Good thing the San Diego D is hurting a bit or it would be a slaughter. So much for going back to the superbowl this year. We will be lucky to make the playoffs!
-
Well my losing chiefs face the Giants today and will most likely get there butts handed to them. I understand that we
Traded Thigpin to Miami?
That Packer vs Viking game will be awesome and the wife and I will be glued to the tv for that one. " I have no doubt she will be hollarin at the tv again"
-
I'm watching the Bears play the Lions right now, and I'm getting my blood pressure up because it's freakin' tied! It's the damn LIONS for Christ's sake! The Bears better figure their D out REAL damn quick, or this could be embarrassing!
Vikes vs Pack. I am definitely going to be interested in this one. Can Favre lead the Vikings to victory? I really think GB is far more talented at WR, and I'm giving the edge to Rodgers at QB, but Minnesota's run game is far superior. I'm not sure about GB's D though, so it could be a VERY close game. I'll definitely be into this one.
Steelers are really making me wonder, but in the end, they always seem to pull it out. Mendenhall is supposed to get the start again this week, so we'll see, but yes, their run game needs major work. Still the Chargers are a pretty solid team.
I really want to watch the Jets/Saints game today. I hope I get it in my market. Looks to be a decent game!
-
Well, Detroit didn't stay tied for long. That was some high scoring game. I watched the NE vs. Balt. game and boy did NE get away with a close one. If the WR Clayton hadn't dropped a sure catch the whole game would have been different. I am telling you, Baltimore looks very strong. Matter of fact the AFC North looked pretty tough today. Cincy pulled out an overtime win. It was nice to see the Browns show some life.
We will see how Mendenhall does this evening. I hope Tomlin cans his butt if he deosn't run the plays right Geesh. I guess Moore will have to be the lone back again. I wanna see how Wallace does this evening. He did pretty good last week. Limas Sweed drops one ball I bet he gets benched too.
-
Can anyone tell me where I can buy an O line? As a part owner of the Green Bay Packers, I want some new talent ;) unfortuantly my stock doesn't come with voting rights equaling a hill of beans. All I can say is they better shape up or Rodgers will not last the season. Pathetic showing on Monday night
-
If you can find a few O linemen pick my Steelers up a few too. Ben is not gonna last two more games if he keeps getting hit the way he is. They did a bit better last game, but that wasn't saying much at all. I must say Rodgers made some awesome throws last night.
-
Yep, Rodgers was doing well. If they could just protect him.
Man, JA was just hot on those sacks. The Cheifs should have never let him go. He was hot his last year there and was kind of quiet last year but now, you hotta get rid of that ball quick because he is coming on through.
The wife is still sore about the Packer's loss.
-
I live outside Buffalo... the local team is an absolute embarrassment. I mean the Bills SUCK. good god, can they just forfeit the season now? "fire Dick" is THE catchphrase here. how about this instead? FIRE THE OWNER, MANAGER, COACH, AND TEAM.
not that they've been good in the last 15 years but cripes, half the Bills fans I talk to are starting to root against them now. I just lampoon them every chance I get.
who the hell would have ever expected the Broncos to be where they are though? I'm damn impressed, they're kicking ass with the miracle last minute/last few seconds plays. Other than those butt ass ugly brown and yellow uniforms they wore last week, they're doing something really right or else some cosmic being are being Denver fans now. (seriously, those uniforms are far more ridiculous than some of the worst college football teams)
-
Another big game today for us Packer Fans, The Vikes and Favre are in town, I am sure once again most fans are tired of teh Favre saga but this hopefully will be one heck of a game. I will be glued to the TV.
-
I will be too as I have the Packers D on my fantasy team. I sure hope they give it to Favre today! So far my team ain't doing squat. My Steelers have a bye week this week so I get to watch some other teams which is nice. That Denver/Baltimore game is pretty fierce.
-
Well I am geared up for my Steelers to go into Mile High tonight and give ole Denver another L! Might get my feelings hurt though. Ought to be a great game. Sure was an interesting Sunday yesterday too. I am telling you, even though they are in my division, it is great to see Cincy finally clicking. Boy the handled the Ravens yesterday. Is Peyton Manning a QB genious or what? That dude has rookies everywhere and he is still getting it done. Still don't know how NO won yesterday either, they seem like they are SB bound this year. I will sure root for em too.
-
I don't even want to TALK about the debacle that was the Bearlies! Bunch of useless bastards they were!
-
Trust me I know, I can say the same about the Packers, Bucs game, terrible, just terrible
-
Yeah, I figured you guys would be fired up about those losses.
-
Yeah, Wayne, I think the Packers loss was harder to swallow than the Bears! Tampa Bay were winless in that orange creamsicle jersey, and their first win was against the Pack. But, every dog has it's day. The Steelers/Broncos game should be fun tonight! Denver at home is dangerous, and I STILL think the Steelers are hit or miss at times. Sometimes TOO much swagger can be a bad thing!
-
I agree with you Pat, we will see what team shows up tonight. The only bright light is the Denver O is pretty one dimensional with Orton. I think tonight's battle is gonna be an O line one. Hey, did you guys see the Chiefs cut Larry Johnson today. Looks like he might be going to the Redskins, thats just what they need. What do you think about that Clint?
-
He sure didn't help us win any games this year. I say let the mouthy punk go.
-
For a while the Chiefs had the number 1 ranked offense in the league.... just crazy....
With Trent Green as quarterback, no less....
But they had one of the best O-lines money could buy to go with the best TE at the time and mediocre recievers and backs.....
When Holmes was out for the season, LJ stepped up.... easily due to the O-line.
With out them he averaged what??? 2.7 yards per carry? If that...
I hated Dick Vermiel as headcoach... majority of their wins by 1-3 points in the last few minutes of the game, when you have the #1 Offense in the league?
Ball control is for highschool or maybe even college... Go big or go home!
LJ cut? Best news since Vermiel stepped down...
Good luck setting a record somewhere else...
-
LOL! You're not bitter though, right DRS? Denver is funny to me: Under their last coach, they were all about running backs, which is why they had about a dozen of them, but threw too. They could've been a major threat. Orton CAN throw the ball, and now he has receivers who can catch it. Their Running game needs some help, but their D is solid. It's been a pretty good game so far!
-
Well Ben had some mistakes last night, but he got it done. It was nice to see him spread it around a bit. That Denver defense was giving me fits, but our D was giving them fits too. I gotta be honest, I am still not sold on Orton. To my experience, you can dress up a pig, but its still a pig!
-
Turkey day is upon us, For me this year it means the Packers play again, even if they didn't I love this extra full day of football. I get to sit at home end enjoy most of the games this time around. I hate short weeks and with the loss of 2 pro-bowl caliber starters the rest of the season is even more iffy than I thought. Kampman and Harris are both bone with ACL injuries from the 49ers game.
-
I hear you on the injury thing Wayne. I think my Steelers got thier goose cooked by the Chiefs. Ben got a concussion and Poamalu off the field doesn't make me very hopeful.
-
Yha, and I lost my bet at work, I bet Favre wouldn't make it past week 9, Injuires at this point are going to hurt any team. Hopefully the Pack smokes the Lions but that's what I thought about them going into Tampa as well, we'll see.
As far as Big Ben, whats that prognosis? I need to make some decisions in my works Pickem pool before 11 am ;)
-
Who would of thought the Cheifs could of pulled it off on your team, Shawn? I'm sorry about the injury but he should of slid.
from the first play, the wife and I hollared throughout that whole game.
I'm looking forward to todays packers game.
-
Wayne he had a full practice yesterady and says he will play. Since Batch is out with another wrist injury I would assume he will start. We need a good backup QB.
-
Thanks for the info, I hate trusting the "online" pros, the seem to muddy the water more than actually offer good advice.
-
Thanks for the info, I hate trusting the "online" pros, the seem to muddy the water more than actually offer good advice.
Yeah, I hear you on the online pros thing, I don't trust em either. I think Poamaulu might play too. I think if we loose that game our playoff chances are over so I look for us to pull out all the stops. We need a daggone win. At least the Ravens and Cincy lost last week to so we still have some hope. Ofcourse it is the NFL and any given Sunday things can change!
-
Talk about an upset Sunday, Man,
Steelers, Sorry Tamer, Patriots, and the Vikes, Saints got lucky, very lucky,
What a wacky week, I have to wait a few hours til my Pack plays, we'll see how that goes but I am hoping for a big win,
-
I wish I were able to watch that Saints game. Was it luck? Was it Destiny? Was it pure heart on behalf of each and every one of those players? Either way, it looked to be a fantastic game. Shawn, why can't your Steelers close out a game lately? Are they done this year? My Bears finally won a game, but it was against the freakin' Rams, and judging by my fantasy stats, it wasn't a very stellar game. Indy won again, and look to be SB bound. Will we see an Indy/New Orleans Super Bowl? I'd be very interested in seeing that game, myself. As long as the Patriots don't make it (which they don't look to be able to do), I'm better off. Wayne, your Packers could be in for a fight tonight. Rodgers just does not look that good to me this year. I could be wrong, of course, but he just doesn't seem to have that drive he needs.
-
O trust me, I know it will be a game, and one that could go easily either way,
As for Rodgers, He's been better, I think they are calling more short pass plays to get the ball out of his hands quicker to help eliminate the sacks, stats wise he is in or near the top 5 in most catagories, but I agree, I would like to see more fire, he seems to passive at times.
-
I don't know what is up with the Steelers D. They sure aren't doing anything in the secondary at all. I think they are just demoralized now and if I hear that the defense is different without Poamaulu one more time I am gonna throw up. Ben's concussion caused a daggone Springer episode and now all Tomlin can do is talk. He sure didn't bring any "hell" yesterday.
I am sure rooting for Wayne's Packers, if the Baltimore D wins my playoff hopes are dashed for sure, if not already.
-
So far so good, not a fan of the offensive execution but it's been enough so far, I guess the D is living up to it's #1 ranking so far, now only if the penalties stop.
-
Not the best showing but a win none the less, and get out the brooms as it was a clean sweep of the hated Bears, ;) Sorry Bears fans,
-
Well maybe I can root for the Pack then because I am done rooting for those stinkin ole Steelers. This SD vs. Dallas game is pretty good. Boy Baltimore just romped all over Detroit. I guess the undefeated teams are still undefeated. I really hope the Saints can take it all the way.
-
STINKIN' Bears! They played "better," though still like crap. I've written them off til they get a new coach.
-
The Pack, didn't play well, they actually looked nonchalant about the game and it really looked like they didn't play to hard, easily could have lost it,
Packers vs Steelers this comming week Tamer
-
Tamer any predictions for the game today? Pack 5 game winning streak, Steelers 5 game loosing streak, I think Tomlin is to good of a coach to let it all slip so far, so this game has me worried and I think the Steelers will pull this one out in a close one. The Pack just hasn't had that killer instinct to close out some the the games this season. Either way it should be a good game
-
We will be watching and you know that the wifey and I will be rooting for the Pack.
The Chefs stink so bad that their game is being blacked out today.
-
Sarge, at this point I am pretty certian the Pack will win pretty easily. We aren't doing much on either side of the ball. And I never did like Tomlin much, now in the heck we picked him over Wisenhunt I will never know. I have kept my mouth shut because we did seem to win a bit, but the coaching the last few games has cost us most of em. I even heard a PA report that Tomlin overrided LeBeau with some defensive calls and most of those resulted in the Steelers D being had. Why in the heck would you overrule Dick Lebeau and the D schemes he calls? Wisenhunt never would have. I am sick of Arians trying to make us a passing team first and run second. The Steeler teams I love always had a hell of a running game they used to set up the pass. Now we don't even run the ball when we can! I saw Willie Parker start a good run last week only to have them call about five or six passing plays and he never did get the ball again. WFH!
-
Words can't describe how disgusted I am at that defense. The #2 defense gave up 500 yards passing, the secondary was full of amateur crap, Steelers get the credit but may we need a freaking kicker, I think I am going to try out tommorow,
-
I didn't get the game, but was following it and why in the heck the Steelers did the offside kick is beyond me. I pretty much thought they had lost it and then they came down and won it in the last second? Doesn't sound like the Steelers that lost that last 6 games that way. I can understand the kicking woes. Dallas sure needs one too.
-
That was a good game. We were upset that the Pack lost. That missed kick would have made the difference.
I'm watching the Vikings/Panthers game now. Favre started out a little sloppy, this time.
-
Looks like Favre has more authority than the coach. I didn't like seeing him argue with Childress when he wanted to pull him out of the game. They face the Bears this week so that should give em some Xmas cheer.
-
I have seen my Steelers do this so many times this year. They get a decent lead and let it slip away so by the fourth quarter they just stink it up. How they were able to hold off the Ravens is anybody's guess. With some of the defensive penalties to keep drives alive and Ben's late interception I was ready to pull my hair out. I actually shut the game off for most of the fourth quarter I was getting so worked up. I turned it back on with about four minutes to see the D show up and then Ben tried to loose the game for us. I was livid. I thought Harbaugh was gonna have a breakdown when that interception was negated. Still, a win is a win and we are still alive in the playoff hunt.
-
I hear yha Shawn, I sat through many a years like that here, this season for the Pack atleast they clinched today so I can breathe easier atleast for another week, Come the post season though, unless they get the penalties down, they won't go far, Still the playoffs are a funny thing, it can go either way some weekends,.
-
hey guys i don't know many about NFL yet but i like it. i like the Philadelphia Eagles, they play cool. i like Donovan McNabb from there. here they display live at about 2 - 3 o clock AM and i like to stay late to watch the games.
-
CCV2224, that is some dedication to the NFL. Philly is gonna go far in the playoffs this year I think. They look pretty tough. Brent Celek, Desean Jackson, Jason Avant, and Mcnabb are pretty fearsome. It is amazing how much they win with thier main RB Westbrook down too, though I think he is coming back off a concussion injury now.

yes, i seen Mc Nabb was a bit injured in the last game but he scored an awesome touchdown.
-
Nothing against the Eagles, but I'm pulling for the Steelers to win, and it looks like they finally are.

I love the Steelers too, but they are gonna have to win a few more before I believe it. They also need a lot of help just to get in.
-
Hopefully things will just fall into place, so we can become 7x World Champions!
-
The biggest iffy to me is the Bengals have to beat the Jets and while I think they can do it, they will probably rest thier starters. Hopefully Marv Lewis watched the Indy game and saw what that did to team morale. Ocho Cinco is running his mouth already. Baltimore better be careful with the Raiders, those Jokers seem to be getting thier acts together.
On a postive note, it seems Poamaulu practiced today which is good news. If we win, he might be getting healthy at the right time. I hope Hines heals that hammy up too.
-
I'd love to see Polamalu in a game, maybe to lengthen our winning score by more than a few points, and see a pick off by the D. every now and again.
-
Did you hear the comments Woodly made about the Patriots and the Bengals resting thier starters? I hope it causes em to play harder, which is probably why he did it.
-
I hadn't heard. Can you list some examples?
-
Steelers are out , which is a dissapointment. Ah well, there's always next year.
-
Yepper, one more win and we would have been ok, but we didn't deserve it by our play. I gotta wonder if anyone will get past SD this year, even with Indy, MN, NO, and the rest in the mix. It is gonna be a good playoffs.
-
I've always been more of an NFC fan more than an AFC fan, so here's hoping the Saints take it all! Saints and Colts in the Superbowl would make me pretty happy. Actually, I want Indy to lose now since they pulled that shit of sitting their starters against the Jets, effectively THROWING the game, which should not only be illegal, but heavily penalized and fined. If you're going to keep Pete Rose out of the Hall of Fame because he bet his team would WIN (we call it pride, where I come from), then you keep every one of those Colts out of the Hall for purposely losing that game. That game was NOT a lock, and affected the playoff picture for the AFC. On that same note, the Colts kept saying they are not concerned with records, only the Super Bowl, yet they continue to start Manning every game to keep HIS record going. Hypocritcal and full of shit! SO, I guess I say go Saints vs. Chargers, with the Saints winning! I can't stand Phillip Rivers!
-
Yeah Pat, I agree. Listening to Polian defend his decision made me want to go throw up.
-
VIKING"S beat the cowboy's woohoooo ;D ;D ;D ;D

Beat, it was more like a mauling. So much for my playoff challenge that had three cowboys on it. Oh well, its sure gonna be a good NFC championship this year. It is amazing what the Jets have been able to pull off to. Reminds me of the Steelers run that one year. They were the last seed and managed to pull it off. I understand that Rex Ryan has given his players the schedule for the Superbowl parage after thier win already. LOL. You gotta like a winning attitude.
-
if we " maul" New Orleans then we go to the superbowl ;D ;D
-
My prediction was right. Alright, Shawn, who do you think is going to the superbowl?

I would say right now it will be a Vikings / Indy Superbowl, but Indy isn't gonna have it as easy as they did with the Ravens this time.
-
See, I'm pulling for Drew Brees and the Saints over the Viqueens! Being a Chicago native and Bears Fan, Can't ever route for them or Favre! And as far as the Jets/Colts game, I really hope the Jets spank the Colts. Karma can be an ugly bride...
-
I do not doubt that the Vikes and Saints game will be close. I just have a feeling about that one.
The colts certainly have had a few good years now. Tamer, I do concur.
-
Well, the Colts got in, and the Vikings and Saints game is looking close. Could be luck of the draw, there.
-
I am telling you this Vikes/Saints game is so close. It is gonna be anyone's guess who wins it. I tell you one thing though. I don't take anything away from Peyton, but to me this seems like the NFC's year for a superbowl. I don't see how Indy could get by either one.
-
It cracked me up: one of the announcers at halftime of the Saints/Vikings game actually said, "I'm telling you, the team that scores the most points in this half is going to win the game." Mind you, the game is tied. Thank you Captain Obvious.
Half of me wanted the Colts to lose. It would have served them right for throwing the game against the Jets in week 16. The other half of me wanted a guaranteed team to root for in the SB. I could care less about the Jets, and a Jets/Vikings SB has absolutely no appeal for me. I'm definitely pulling for the Saints to win this game, and the SB overall.
-
One team scores and then the other one does. The Saints had the lead for like ten seconds. That fumble by Peterson and Favre at the end of the first half I think they will regret.
-
WOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saints and Colts in the Super Bowl. I am TOTALLY psyched for this one!
-
I hear yha loud and clear,
Nothing makes me happier than to see Favre go down, after his last few BS offseasons and the royal screw job he pulled on both the Packers and Jets organizations I love seeing his swan song turn into turd. He knew going into last season he wouldn't stay with the Jets so he F'd them and the Pack by "retiring" again to get out of his contract and trade clauses to get his own way,
The Saints didn't play well in the second half, and I hope they come out against Indy stronger, but I can't see Indy not taking the super bowl this year.
-
im just sad rite now because of Brett's mistake. But im not mad i still like the vikings ;D
