Too bad we're not having a contest.

[TheEschaton]

Seahawks, Eagles, Bolts, Ravens.

[RichardCranium]

Colts from the AFC, Bears from the NFC. Everyone else is just playing a part.


Who did you pick to win the national championship again?

[Satira]

Bears, Eagles, Patriots, Colts

Most importantly, BEARS BEARS BEARS.

[peam]

Bears
Saints
Ravens
Chargers

[Apathy]

Who did you pick to win the national championship again?

Boise state.

[RichardCranium]

That's even worse than picking Ohio State.

[Sean of the Thread]

I pick COLTS over Ravens.

[Stunseed]

OMG U PICKED TOO LATE, UR PICK DOESN'T COUNT.

[Sean of the Thread]

DAMMMMMIT!

[Stunseed]

I'M SO UPSET I'M GONNA CRY! UR PICKS DON'T COUNT!

[RichardCranium]

I'M SO UPSET I'M GONNA CRY! UR PICKS DON'T COUNT!

Take solace in the fact that, for the most part, you pick as well as the experts.

[Stunseed]

Take solace in the fact that, for the most part, you pick as well as the experts.

Says #11.

Take the joke as it is.

ROOFLEZ.

[RichardCranium]

It was funny the first time. It's been stupid for the last three weeks.

[RichardCranium]

BTW, number 11??? I count 4th.

[Stunseed]

I was perfectly willing to let it die, but since others aren't, I might as well just take it like a joke.

In reference of it's old.

[Sean of the Thread]

Well #1 in the contest (ME) isn't letting Stuncheater off so easy.

[Stunseed]

If we're going by 12 games as a minimum, you're #6, RC.

As I said, it's a casual game, and if Sean2's gonna throw jokes, might as well have fun for the next....35 or so weeks until I can shut him up next season.

It's all in good times.

[Sean of the Thread]

Obviously I'm just funning... what's the point otherwise? Most of the people with intelligence have realized I have no ill will against anyone on the boards. Life is too short for that shit.

[Stunseed]

< Life is too short for that shit. >

Amen, brother from another mother.

[RichardCranium]

Beef wellington.

[Apathy]

If Favre retires I will move all of my man-love to Brees.

[Stunseed]

I had Brees last season as my QB, was one of the best moves I made. Picking up Jones-Drew this year was possibly the best pickup I made, after drafing the Ravens D.

[Sean of the Thread]

Brees made me 5 million silvers this year.. THANK YOU SIR.

[RichardCranium]

Jesus this is a good game. Mad props to the Eagles who definately came to play.

[RichardCranium]

I <3 Deuce.

[Sean of the Thread]

I fucking hate the eagles.

[RichardCranium]

I fucking hate the eagles.

Hulkein would be sad.

[RichardCranium]

What was the final score of the Saints - Eagles game in week 6?

[RichardCranium]

I still <3 Reggie.

[RichardCranium]

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BABY!

[Stunseed]

That was a good game, sirius.

[GuildRat]

saints....1/4...3 to go

[Sean of the Thread]

MUAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA FUCK THE EAGLES. Siriusly hate them.

[Apathy]

Reggie Bush ruined my spread pick damnit.

[Latrinsorm]

There's no fucking way San Diego will beat New England.The Chargers are going to obliterate New England. It's going to be embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as the 400 yard game LT is going to put up against the Colts. I love 'em, but we all know this "knowing how to play some measure of defense" thing isn't going to last.
What was the final score of the Saints - Eagles game in week 6?27-24 Saints. Creepy, huh?

My picks for tomorrow: Chargers (obviously) and Seahawks (just as obvious).

I'm hoping the Seahawks go for a last-second FG to break a tie from 56 yards that gets returned by Hester who fumbles, recovery TD Seahawks, game.

[WRoss]

If Favre retires I will move all of my man-love to Brees.

I am going to call this now. Jamarcus Russel, next super star QB.

Will it be as embarrassing as the OSU loss to UF? Is that possible?

[Latrinsorm]

No, only because people are being somewhat sensible about the Patriots and even if they weren't they only had a week to hype instead of a month and a half. In terms of the final score, I wouldn't be surprised to see SD put up 41, but I expect NE would get more points than 14 due to garbage time.

[RichardCranium]

Wow, that WAS embarressing.

[Alfster]

bears saints pats colts


heh

[Bobmuhthol]

Hahahaha.

Fuck you guys.

Nice 15 yard penalty call with 3 seconds left, though.

[Tsa`ah]

Good call .... I wanted the SD to upset though.

Go figure, both games today put the kickers in hero or chump positions ... Chargers just had to fucking choke.

[Liberi Fatali]

Wow. I think you should stick with numbers and trannyism. You couldn't have been more wrong with the Chargers game. You're one of the reasons why I hate the Chargers -- everyone hyped them up to be so 'awe-inspiring'. Granted, they SHOULD have won the game if it weren't for some key turnovers, but by no means were they even close to dominating the Patriots.

The Colts, of course, are going to wreck them in the capital state of Indiana. Hoho. ;)

[peam]

Colts over Patriots via last second Adam Vinatieri field goal?

[Latrinsorm]

The Chargers gave the game away on about 4 separate occasions. Atrocious, atrocious play. :\

That's ok, now the Saints can win the Super Bowl over the Colts and everyone will be happy.

[TheEschaton]

The capital state of Indiana? What's that?

-TheE-

[Tsa`ah]

The Colts, of course, are going to wreck them in the capital state of Indiana. Hoho. ;)

You mean capital city of Indiana ... being Indianapolis.

Indiana has no capital state, nor is it the capital state ... there really isn't a capital state.

That and your X impersonation is probably best left for your rosy palms sessions.

Colts vs Pats will be down to the wire.

Chicago over NO by 17.

Superbowl:

1985 replay sans the wildcard, black and blues brothers, Payton, Singletary, McMahon, and the Fridge.

Chicago by 20

Hoity-toity. I had to read your statement more than once to try and determine if you're really that much of an idiot. Sadly, you are.

Capital, in the sense that I used it, means "first-rate; "a capital fellow"; "a capital idea". Learn the English language before you attempt to insult me with retarded accusations.

[Celephais]

Capital, in the sense that I used it, means "first-rate; "a capital fellow"; "a capital idea".

Yeah... I thought that was pretty clear.

[Liberi Fatali]

Yeah... I thought that was pretty clear.

...Not to mention the fecking announcer said the EXACT same quote I used there at the end of the broadcast. "The capital state of Indiana to play in the dome".

It's common in British language, which most of you do not excel at, apparently (I don't blame Tsa', however, I doubt he gets out of the house much). Hoho. Capital, indeed.

[Celephais]

Hoho. Capital, indeed.

Quite!

[Tsa`ah]

WTF are you smorking?

Nothing really. I'm gambling on what I saw in todays game. Grossman only made a few novice mistakes under pressure. Most of the big passing fuck ups were made by recievers. They were coming off of a 2 week vacation that began with a loss ... the defense had a lack of wind in their sails and special teams (punt return) did a majorly stupid thing that cost the Bears another Hester punt return TD.

So I'm gambling on Grossman's A game personality to show up and the rest of the team to build on some momentum they lost against GB. If they get by NO, it will be by no less than 2 TDs .. I'm banking on 2 TDs, 2 EPs, and 2 FGs.

Once by NO, and I'm gambling on the Pats to take down the Colts, the Bears won't let the superbowl be a repeat of game 12.

[Tsa`ah]

Considering the announcers regularly botch the english language in attempts to sound "edumacated", they also botch reasons for certain plays ... such as the Seattle onside kick near the end of the first half to "keep the ball out of Hester's hand's" ... rather than to recover the ball and score again before half time ... Hester couldn't catch jack shit today.

Normally I'd point out much more ... but you couldn't produce a voting card and you shouldn't quote sports announcers, or even suggest they're authorities on the english language ... Dennis Miller already left that building.

Keep digging those holes and, again, save the "hohos" for spankey and your rosy palms

[RichardCranium]

Chicago over NO by 17.




If they get by NO, it will be by no less than 2 TDs .. I'm banking on 2 TDs, 2 EPs, and 2 FGs.

My question stands.

[Tsa`ah]

My question stands.

No less that 12 ... I'm banking on 17.

How hard is that to understand? My money is on 17 points, they'll win by no less than 12.

edit: bah ... I see where I confused myself and you ... I'm banking on 2 TDs, 2 EPs, and 2 FGs (superbowl lead prediction vs patriots) ... vs NO - 2 tds, 2 eps, 1 fg.

My bad.

[TheEschaton]

Seahawks, Eagles, Bolts, Ravens.

Wow, I fucked this weekend up, huh.

-TheE-

[Apathy]

No team is good enough to beat any other team by 3 TDs or some similar silly amount.

If it is cold the Bears should win, if it is warm they may have a problem.

I stick w/ Bears vs. Colts bowl tho.

[Kriztian]

The Chargers gave the game away on about 4 separate occasions. Atrocious, atrocious play. :\

That's ok, now the Saints can win the Super Bowl over the Colts and everyone will be happy.

I wouldn't say they gave the game away. I would definitely say their COACH (yes, the most winningest regular season coach, Schoppenheimer (sp?)), gave it away.

How, Marty, can you call pass play after pass play in the 4th quarter when you have the most valuable player IN THE LEAGUE in LT? How?

There is a reason Marty is one of the most LOSING-est coaches in post-season play, and we just witnessed it.

...and LT was just getting started...

[Tsa`ah]

No team is good enough to beat any other team by 3 TDs or some similar silly amount.

The first 13 games of the Bears season is littered with wins of 18 points or greater ... you may want to rephrase your statement.

[RichardCranium]

I believe he meant no team in the playoffs.

[GuildRat]

Conservative play at the end of the half and end of regulation = Seahawks getting plucked. WTF...that ruined the whole game for me.

Next weeks picks....Saints over the Bears, Pats over the Colts...

[Latrinsorm]

I wouldn't say they gave the game away. I would definitely say their COACH (yes, the most winningest regular season coach, Schoppenheimer (sp?)), gave it away.Schottenheimer can't catch the balls for the players (and he doesn't do most of the playcalling, btw). About the only part of the blame that you can saddle on Marty is a very questionable challenge in the second half and the bizarre decision not to kick a 49-yarder in the first half.

This is what drives me crazy about Patriot fanboys (taken from John Clayton on ESPN): "Sure, [Brady] threw three interceptions on the game. But Belichick kept trying to let Brady improvise and make the plays that would eventually let the Patriots win." The guy throws 3 interceptions and people still can't get off his jock.
The first 13 games of the Bears season is littered with wins of 18 points or greaterAgainst Green Bay, Detroit, Seattle (without Alexander), Buffalo, San Francisco, and NY Giants, none of which were close to the caliber the Saints are at now.

Also during this first 13 game span were a loss to the Dolphins and a win over Arizona (Arizona) on a last-second missed field goal. The Bears are a spotty team and have been all season, to think that a 12-point victory is assured is nonsense.

[stallion4]

I pretty much hate Tom Brady..the guy comes out and sucks more cock than most pornstars yesterday and SD blows it, gives him a win, and he's THE BEST EVER! The guy threw 3 picks and looked like shit the vast majority of the game. The one thing that Marty blew was like Latrin said..the challenge in the 2nd that blew that timeout that they could have used on the 2 minute drill. Coulda got 'em atleast 2 more plays I would say. Even if they gained 10 yards..the kick looks a lot better at 44ish instead of 54ish. Dropped INT's and all the bonehead plays cost 'em that game. I'm not a Charger fan by any means but they are definately the better team. It's sad to see a game turn out like that..but that's the beauty (sorta) of sports.

[stallion4]

Oh..and givin the rock to Lt 8 or 9 times in the 2nd half...BONEHEAD. I'll throw that on O coordinator and Marty. The guy is a fuckin machine..definately didn't use him right.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<I'm not a Charger fan by any means but they are definately the better team.>>

If you're... retarded. The Chargers are so awesome that they have had 1 Super Bowl appearance and didn't win it. You must think Indianapolis is fucking mindblowingly awesome, too.

[stallion4]

Umm..did I say the are the ALL TIME BEST TEAM? No. Don't twist shit around, stringbean.

[stallion4]

There's a reason they went 14-2.

[Bobmuhthol]

Yeah. They're in the AFC West is one big reason.

<<Umm..did I say the are the ALL TIME BEST TEAM? No. Don't twist shit around, stringbean.>>

The Patriots are among the best NFL football teams ever.

The Chargers aren't even close.

[crazymage]

Yeah. They're in the AFC West is one big reason.




QFT.

VIVA LA Tom Brady

[stallion4]

Again..who is talking about ALL TIME BEST TEAMS? No shit the Chargers aren't if you go back throughout HISTORY...Christ Bob..You're usually pretty smart, man.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Again..who is talking about ALL TIME BEST TEAMS?>>

No one. I'm comparing two teams.

<<No shit the Chargers aren't if you go back throughout HISTORY>>

But the Patriots ARE, so how could the Chargers ever be better than them???????

<<Christ Bob..You're usually pretty smart, man.>>

I follow standard rules of logic that you're ignoring, unfortunately. If one team is not a very good team overall, and another team is one of the best in history, it's pretty fucking impossible for the first to be better than the second.

You're also using a small sample size when you compare SD and NE, which immediately causes problems in the way of accuracy distortion.

[stallion4]

Wow..alright. Go polish your bowling trophies and dust off your ninja swords. You're basically just being a prick.

[Bobmuhthol]

That must be it....

[Keller]

I missed something . . . Is Liberi Fatali, Tabor?

on-topic: Indy over NE and NO over Chicago.

[RichardCranium]

Yes.

[Bobmuhthol]

Keller, you must be confused. You're supposed to pick the winners, not the losers.

[Skeeter]

Manning blows in big games and will lose to the pats yet again.
NO is charmed this year and will squeek by the bears somehow.

Schottenheimer will be fired within a week or 2

[Tsa`ah]

Now for the Colts to win. Cor blimey, though?! Who to cheer for if the Bears and the Colts play each other? Tough choice, indeed.

[Bobmuhthol]

You're underestimating how much the Colts always suck in the playoffs. This game is going to New England, though it likely won't be nearly as one-sided as the NFC championship.

[RichardCranium]

I don't expect any of you fucking homers to believe the refs took the Saints out of the game early and often.

[stallion4]

I was basically indifferent on that game but the offensive pass interferance and the fumble on the kickoff return were sketchy at best. I dunno..hard to say.

[Tsa`ah]

Tsa'ah is a Bear's fan this year? Who would have thought?

Since 82 when Walter demanded it.


I don't expect any of you fucking homers to believe the refs took the Saints out of the game early and often.

"ok"

[Latrinsorm]

The Saints, like the Chargers before them, took themselves out of the game. However, Chicago's run attack was by no means negligible. I doubt NO would have won today even without 4 turnovers.

Oh no, Tsa`ah and JD think I don't know anything about football. However will I go on? Seriously though, two correct picks is really impressive. I mean it. I've never seen anything like it, every week in the regular season we were lucky to scrape 1 correct pick together. Your football acumen is just mindblowing. I mean, why are you guys even gracing our lowly presence here? You guys should be on ESPN, suffusing the entire nation in your unmatched football glory. I hear Sean Salisbury already has his kneepads on.

[Tsa`ah]

Let me quote myself ...


Bring on the excuses.

The Saints were in it going into the half. They didn't take themselves out of anything ... they were stopped cold in the third after the second TD and conversion.

A turnover doesn't take you out of the game ... when the defense forces the turnovers and when the defense recovers the forced turnovers ... the defense took you out of the game ... not you. Likewise, when a turnover is made by the offense and they fail to recover, the defense has again taken you out of the game.

The Saints didn't do a thing to themselves other than not playing at the level the Bears set. I could say the Bears blew 12 point going into the half ... but in truth it was the better D played by the Saints rather than the inability to convert at whatever and goal ... 3 times.


Oh no, Tsa`ah and JD think I don't know anything about football. However will I go on? Seriously though, two correct picks is really impressive. I mean it.

I hear Sean Salisbury already has his kneepads on.

1. I don't bother with weekly picks because I do not have the time to keep up with multiple teams in the regular season, nor do I want to spend my time on Sunday, and again on Monday night in front of the TV ... and Monday morning in the sports page, or glued to ESPN ... it's a waste to me.

2. I never once mentioned anything about anyone not knowing a thing. I made my predictions at the post season concerning the Bears, and the A/NFC championships ... which I blew the AFC by picking the Pats.

3. Let me quote myself ... again
