Since all football things are competitions... - Page 3

You don't play Philly in the regular season....and you already lost in the presea.....OH! You meant the Falcons.

I'm sorry, the only team that gets called "The Birds" are the Eagles.

Please do no sully the nickname by associating it with the Falcons...or I'll start applying "Kittys" to Cincinnati...

Stoke · 09-08-2008, 10:43 AM

The only thing the Eagles are called are the Iggles.

Stoke · 09-08-2008, 10:46 AM

Speaking of preseason... heres an interesting - but meaningless - statistic:

The Panthers starters outscored their 4 opponents starters 58-3.

SilverTalon · 09-08-2008, 11:16 AM

Here's another thing about preseason: None of the statistics actually matter.

Stoke · 09-08-2008, 12:33 PM

Did you miss the "but meaningless" part of my post?

SilverTalon · 09-08-2008, 01:03 PM

No, but everything Stoke says is like the preseason.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, BURN!

You obviously - for some reason - are confusing me with Dane.

I was unexpectedly really happy with the first week of the NFL season:
1.) The panters with that great win (I hate the Chargers!)
2.) The iggles looked pretty strong. McNabb looked awesome (And I love McNabb)! Then again...it was the Ram's D. But you cant shake a stick at 300 something yards passing and 3 TDs.
3.) I know I shouldnt root for injuries...but Brady and Young. I know Young will be back in a month, but I am already sick of the Boston Sports Channel (ESPN) reporting on the loss of their hero for the year.
4.) Atlanta Beat up on Detroit. Matt Ryan got the big balls out on that first pass.
5.) The Packers dont Miss Favre.
6.) The Jets wouldnt win without Favre.
7.) I hate Favre.
8.) Oakland still blows. I hate them, and I hate their fans, so I hope they go 0-16.
9.) My Bears beat the Colts....and they looked like a good football team. The Defense was moving, they had a running game and an efficent passer. They had a great third down percentage...and I cant believe I am saying this, but the Bear that looked the worst was.... DEVIN HESTER. I think they will be a little better than expectations, and the way the NFC North is, its up for grabs (Whichever team has the fewest major injuries will win the NFC North...seriously). I dont expect them to go anywhere in the playoffs, but then again you never know, we could get to an NFC Championship game. But, as much as it pains me to say it, if the Bears were to play the Eagles, they would probably get their asses kicked. Luckily, we will see how the teams match up in a few weeks on Sunday Night Football Week 4. I wanna get on teamspeak and watch the game while talking to Silver.

So basically, the only let down so far for me this young NFL season is...

NO ATF FANTASY FOOTBALL!
Damn. I knew I forgot something a few weeks ago.
This is the first time in like 3 years or something we havent done one.
That means we need to do -
ATF FANTASY HOCKEY *does that even exist?*

Spinning Hat · 09-09-2008, 09:25 AM

yeah, Fantasy Hockey exists.. Hell, you could do a fantasy NASCAR season if you wanted to.. But I don't know why you would. Seriously. I love racing, but wouldn't a fantasy league consist of picking a driver, and riding out the season? Or would you go for an "owners" championship with 4-5 cars in the stable? We may want to look into the Fantasy Hockey..

CannonBall · 09-21-2008, 02:03 PM

We have Matt Ryan.

Spinning Hat · 09-22-2008, 09:28 AM

How 'bout those Kitty Cats?

Vikings FTW!

well, Matt "m-fin" Cassell didn't fuck up another Pats game last weekend.. w00t!

CannonBall · 10-12-2008, 01:14 PM

RéMe · 10-26-2008, 04:04 PM

5-2 at the midpoint.. Go Patsies!

Who'd have thought the pats would be actually in the WINNING side and vying for the division without a quarterback named Tom.
