Just like you've seen....here is our OFFICIAL all-things NFL discussion thread! It's all going down in here: regular season, playoffs, SUPER BOWL, trades, rumors, officiating, EVERYTHING!
I know we've got some passionate NFL fans on this board, so get to discussing the upcoming NFL season!
Fly, Eagles fly, on the road to victory
Fight, Eagles, fight! Score a touchdown one-two-three
Hit 'em low, hit 'em high,
And watch our Eagles fly
Fly, Eagles fly, on the road to victory
E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!
I am sooo pumped to get this season started. Eagles finished the season 8-8 and know that they are a better team then that. We made a nice pick up on def this year acquiring Asante Samuel from New England. McNabb looks great and if healthy will be in the top Qb ranks this season. Go Eagles
Don't forget about Desean Jackson who should help out with both our punt returns and it looks like he will possibly help us more then I thought on offense too.
I definitely don't think the Pats suck- they are the model of how to compete in the modern era of free agency in the NFL. However I lost a HUGE amount of respect for them and Belicheck in their games that they ran up the score which I thought was a classless display of zero sportmanship. Watching them run the score up on Washington especially late in the 4th quarter when they were up something like 45-7 and not going for the FG that late was utter BS. When they went for it and scored the TD the camera zoomed in on Joe Gibbs- and to do that to a longtime respectful classy coach like that was inexcusable. :thumbsdown:
I heard the "this is the NFL and not pee-wee league" argument and "if you can't stop them then don't complain" crap- but I still believe in winning with class and sportsmanship and they showed none of that last year. I used to root for the Pats but I don't think I ever wanted a team to lose in the playoffs more badly than them last year.
With pick-ups like Vilma, Shockey, and Morgan and the draft of Sedrick Ellis. The Saints are ready to spoil their neighboring state's favorite team's hopes of making it to the Super Bowl. Get ready for the N.O. Saints bitches. We aren't the Aints anymore. Drew Brees is ready for an MVP season and Pierre Thomas is a star in waiting.
It is the preseason though. I hope the Texans (i.e. Andre Johnson) has the best stats in the league. He is one of the best receivers and he and Schaub showed that when he was on the field last year.
Guys its the third page of this thread and no one has mentioned the Colts!!They will head to the superbowl for the second time in three years just wait.
ROFL....that is good stuff right there...for a minute I thought you were serious. HAHAHA. eagles....champs....haha
Seriously though...are Eagles fans really thinking that a hobbled McNabb and an overrated pick-up of a system CB (Samuel) is enough to get them to the Super Bowl? Samuel will flop just like Jason David did when he left the Colts. The receivers still haven't stepped up and become reliable in Philly. I am sorry, but I just don't see you winning the division, much less the Super Bowl. I put the Eagles 4th in a 4 team division again.
I have to admit I got SOOOO lucky in the title game last year- the guy's team wasn't that good but he had Brady- our final game was when the Pats played the Jets in that blizzard. Brady- no TDs and by far his worst game of the season. Lucky? You bet- but I didn't care. :happy01:
Little Fantasy update: Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Dolphins might trade Ronnie Brown and that Ricky Williams might be the #1 RB. Brown is coming off the knee injury and it normally takes guys a full year before they recover 100%.
After watching the first part of the Giants-Browns game last night- even without Strahan the Giants D-line is still absolutely filthy- they had D. Anderson running for his freaking life. Their front 7 can put so much pressure on opposing QBs(they were also my FFL- defense last year. :wink01.
Always been a big fan of NFL, but never really had a solid favorite. Now, I think that has all changed! Darren Mcfadden being from close to my home town and all makes me follow him. So this year I am rooting for the young OAKLAND RAIDERS! Darren dominated the SEC and now time to go against some of the best players in the world.
Also a small Dallas Cowboy fan with Felix Jones going there.
Warhero, i still dont have a solid favorite.
And i cant stand that i cant be a fan of one team.
I like Saints/Jets/Chargers/Titans/Ravens, but if they play each other, i just cant watch it.
Yeah, I'll say...with the Saints, we have to worry about Charles Grant getting off without punishment. And all those Canes we picked up, can they play or what? We don't know.
I really dont understand Merrimans desicion...
I mean he could get injured very seriously, and never play the level hes played.
He really should get the surgery and then come back on the same level!
Merrimans decision is really silly. He is young and ignorant and that's all there is to it. If he plays this year, I will have very little doubt that he will end his career. Poory guy, so much upside.
So, I'm a huge Texans fan being from Houston and all, but I'm also realistic. The Eagles are my second favorite team, but they won't make the superbowl. Sorry to all those who reside in Pennsylvania. They cannot overcome the cowboys, they are just too good (as much as I ABSOLUTELY HATE THEM). They'll squeak into the playoffs past the Redskins, but that's about it.
I'm going bold with my picks to the superbowl this year. REALLY bold. Cowboys vs Browns. Yes, you heard it hear first. I think the Browns D has improved enough and that their offense will carry them to a superbowl. Braylon is entering the peak of his carrer, Jamal Lewis is 29 and will continue steam rolling, and Derek Anderson is playing EVERY SINGLE game with his career on the line (with Quinn sitting behind him). Stallworth is also a nice addition as a threat to the deep game. I know it's bold, and I wouldn't actually bet on the Browns making the superbowl, but with the injuries to Peyton and Brady and Welker, I wouldn't be overly surprised if this happened. You heard it here first fellas!
