Since we get the early game tonight and this weekend will be very busy for me here are my picks and pre thoughts for week 7winners in bold Chiefs[/b] @ Dolphins...Chiefs seem to have more fire power plus I expect Gonzalez to get on track.Steelers @ Bengals[/b] ...This should be a great game. The steelers are a very physical team but due to injuries I give the slight edge to the Bengals. Willie Parker has been relatively quiet since the bye week. Cowboys[/b] @ Seahawks...Shaun Alexander is on fire. The Seahawks passing game has not taken a huge hit despite injuries to their top 2 receivers. Cowboys have issues with the offensive line and that scares me more than anything...Julius Jones still might not play...Cowboys win!!!!!!!Broncos @ Giants[/b] ...Will the G Men bounce back after that poor performance last week? Yes, NFC East = best division in footballChargers @ Eagles[/b] ...The Chargers defense is not very good; the Eagles offense is very good. Plus Dawkins can cover Gates.And the upset pick of the week 49ers[/b] @ Redskins...Well, I am a Cowboys fan.
Comments
i wish, but no
Steelers [/b]@ Bengals... best matchup of the week. Bengals are the real deal, but I don't see Pittsburgh losing two in a row. That's if Big Ben is back. If Maddox plays again it's Cincy 31-7.
Cowboys @ Seahawks[/b]... Time for the Cowboys to come back to reality.
Broncos @ Giants[/b] ... Ditto for Denver. I just can't believe that their bubble isn't gonna burst soon.
Chargers @ Eagles[/b] ... Eagles are notoriously hard to beat after the bye in the Andy Reid era. Although LT may run wild on them, I still pick a Philly victory.
the real question is do I play Brees or McNabb on sunday?
Uhhh... I think McNabb.
the more you go against the broncos the more they win.
i'm ok with that.
Damn, Phill & all the rest of you Philly dogs musta been doing tha "Steve Martin" after that one!! SIK!!
Pats on bye this week, I get to just chill and watch some other games. Wackness is that the 4:00 game on CBS is an airing of the Miami/Dallas game from the other night, that I already know how it ends...
This Eagles/Chargers game is pretty on point, tho. OT coming up?
This game was pretty nuts.
I'm always glad to see NFC teams beat non-NE AFC teams.
SD fumble at Philly 19, 1:34 remaining...
The D did well, shut down LT like you wouldn't believe (17 carries for 7 yards???
Watching the end of this game, I was thinking the same thing. Not how I wanted them to win, but it suffices.
SF 17
this is what happens when you play a real team.
fuck the refs.
Real talk. In his 2 NFL seasons, Roethlisberger has only lost to the Patriots. Everybody's looking at the Colts as the team to beat this season, but people are gonna have to start paying attention to those Steelers real soon.
The refs were like some moonlighting wal mart security guards ... friggin clueless.
When the fire alarm went off in the second half --- I could just see that drunk ass fan who pulled the alarm getting pulled down by his zubaz and rangled by the special event staff and coppers.
Dan Dierdorf smokes crack rock...
when we went for it on 4th and 1 and Mcnabb drop backed ... I thought the game was over.
J.Trotter is a Monster. Sheldon Brown is a Beast. Quentin Mikell is a Cannon. Matt Ware is a force to be reckoned with. And the Oline are something out the ordinary.
The Dallas - Seattle was a super good game. Drew Bledsoe = pissed it away. Dallas is chumps
Chumps? Inexperienced fits them better....Drew Bledsoe did make a bad decision that led to the game winning field goal but they had more opportunities to win than that....That defense plays very good for 56 minutes of every game and somehow magically vanishes in the final 4 minutes of every game.
Now I honestly knew the Redskins were going to win that SF game but I didn't think it would get that ugly. I have to give to Joe Gibbs and the Skins they are a vastly improved team.
It's really hard to say who is gonna come out on top in the NFC...I still give the slight edge to Philly but that lack of a running game is so
Pittsburg is serious...just when I thought Willie was done he wakes up!!!
I still believe Tony Dungy will finally get that Super Bowl trophy he so rightfully deserves.
VERY suspect. Those are my dawgs and all but they will not return to the bowl with no running game. The NFC is a lot better this year, they won't be able to walk all over a bunch of weaklings this time. McNabb will be dead by playoff time if he keeps throwing 50 times a game. They're playing Arena Football right now. F**k outta here with that schitt, run the goddamn ball.
No slack for Dallas - the Jimmy Johnson/Switzer era is only 10 years ago - They ran the NFC east for a long time and Troy Aikman is a dickhead.
Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati: the "who's your daddy " game..just a wake up call to the Bengals...slow down guys,not quite there yet....Pittsburgh isn't either, but they're much closer than the Bengals
Denver @ Ny Giants: ELI WILL BE BETTER THAN PEYTON ![/b] YEAH I SAID IT....remember Venus was the shit...she used to kick everybody's ass and dominate Serena...then Serena came out of nowhere and started kickin' serious ass.. Venus' included......same situation here...Eli will have the better career....discuss
San Diego @ Philly: this was not supposed to happen..this puts a little more exictement into my wager with Phil....lucky Eagles
WASHINGTON REDSKINS TWICE
NEW YORK GIANTS TWICE
DALLAS AGAIN
you'll be lucky to win 2 out of those 5 games.....all three of those teams are better...ADMIT IT !
and oh yeah @ THE PISSED OFF DENVER BRONCOS NEXT WEEK...
I reiterate- Big Ben has ONLY lost to New England in his two seasons of pro football. I don't know what else he has to do for the Steelers to be "there".
I agree, although his big brother isn't exactly chopped liver. Eli is the real deal, though... with his pedigree and easy-to-see natural talent, I think everybody knew that.
I'm surprised you even slithered out of the woodworks to join in on this thread, edpowers. I thought you'd do the cowardly thing and just stay over in the NBA thread where it's much safer. But I give you credit for manning up and showing your face here. The only problem is that you are still talking crazy talk. There is no excitement in our wager, edpowers. You know just like everybody else that you may as well paypal me that $100 right now... waiting for the season to end is merely delaying the inevitable. You know that the Dolphins have no chance (notice how you did not mention them in your rant?).
Yes, those other teams in the NFC east have come up. Better than the Eagles? Well, right now I admit that I do like the way those 3 play the game better than how the Eagles are doing it... if Philly doesn't start running the ball they are gonna have problems come playoff time. But better than the Eagles? Naw, not yet. Those other NFC east squads still have to prove they can do it for a whole season and into the playoffs. We already know that this Eagles team can do that. Just please, Andy... RUN. THE. BALL.
And I actually do expect Denver to beat us on Sunday... common sense dictates that they should. But you just never know with Philly. If they bring their a-game and play like they're capable of playing, they will whip the Bronco's asses. I am always gonna feel like that team, and Jake "the Fake" Plummer, are an accident waiting to happen. Don't forget.... they lost to the Dolphins!
I find your Eagles Dolphins wager to be very close to home.
I am currently engaged in a season long bet that pits the likes of Jevon Kearse against Jason Taylor.
Who ever has better individual stats at the end of the season = triple digit bill sushi dinner
I was pleased to see Jevon get his sack on yesterday >>> he shoulda had 2 but he got all jumpy.
Jason Taylor is winning alot right now.
Eli better than Peyton? Doubt it. I think both are way more hype than anything else. Can the media get off these dudes d*cks for one second (Manning this, Manning that - alright already we get it). Dudes kick ass in regular season and will never see the light of day when it comes to getting a ring
It pains me to say it, but I know exactly what you mean. I think most Eagles fan understand. If you just look at his stats and his winning percentage, if you see any of his incredible highlight real plays, if you think about that time he threw 4 tds on a broken leg, if you think about how he's now trying to go all season playing with a sports hernia, you say "Dude is SUPERMAN, put him in Canton right now!" But if you actually SEE him in action on a regular basis, some of the stuff he does will just turn your stomach.
Like yesterday, making a dumb pass that made the clock run out on them at the end of the 1st half and also taking a 13 yd. sack instead of throwing the ball away and putting them out of fg position. That's 6 points they lost out on just because of stupid decisions by McNabb. Man, how long you been playing football? Don't you know what to do in these situations? And of course that slow-down 2 minute drill in the Superbowl will go down in infamy. It's hard to say that a guy who played an entire game on a broken leg doesn't have heart, but he's lacking in some way when it comes to high pressure situations. Terrible body language. I'd like to slap him when things ain't going right and he gets that sad puppy dog look on his face, like he's about to cry. I still try very hard to pull for dude, but he honestly pisses me off like you wouldn't believe.
Also, in reference to the Eagles and to teams who play the Colts - its all about the 'D' -
This should be interesting....
the 49ers 1-5
the Raiders 2-4
the chiefs A GIFT FROM GOD
the chargers ANOTHER GIFT FROM GOD

as i said, the Eagles victory yesterday made our wager very interesting ..THIS WILL COME DOWN TO THE WIRE....seriously Phil that schedule is a beast..not to mention we are just a better football team and are still learning a new system and would benefit a whole lot by making Ricky Williams a Fullback ...
one more thing...
THE EAGLES DON'T RUN BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RUN....
NO RUN ..NO PLAYOFFS
What color is the sky in your world, edpowers? It must be a nice place, a place in which everyone stays very high and totally detached from anything even resembling reality. Benefit from strange luck? They must've been some lucky muhf*ckas for the last 4 or 5 years.
Your comedic sense is incredible. Have you ever tried out for Comic View??? You should.
No... THE EAGLES CAN'T[/b] RUN BECAUSE THEY DON'T[/b] RUN. That line is too big and strong and Westbrook is too good of a runner for me to accept that they are incapable of running the ball. You can't give up on it just because you're getting a lot of 1 yard, 0 yard and negative yard runs. The more you're used to doing it, the better you will be at it. They'll never get better if they continue with a 75% - 25% pass - run ratio.
NO RUN ..NO PLAYOFFS
Finally you say something that I can agree with. Doesn't matter, your piggy bank will still be $100 lighter by the end of the season. You KNOW this, man!
I'm content to let folls not pay attention if they want. Just makes the road that much easier for the Black & Gold!
As for Eli vs. Peyton...Peyton's fucking great, and I was all set to hate Eli, but I gotta give it to the kid. He is the real deal. Super poised, really elusive in the pocket, makes smart plays. He pulled a total dick move on SD, but on the field, he's for real. Peyton's better now, but I do think Eli will eclipse him.
