Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

[Gansk]

The Pats are in a division with the Bills, Dolphins, and Jets. It shouldn't take much to win it.

I think you're underestimating Miami, but we'll get a sense of that very shortly.

I also think Cincy could end up 9-7. They have a brutal schedule.

Conversely, Seattle already has a lock on homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, thanks to their division opponents.

Then get ready!! Go get some beers, chicken wings, steaks, brauts, cheerleaders...whatever you need!!

I've been ready for the past three or four weeks, but can I have the cheerleaders and the food anyway?

Oh, and Dallas going to the Superbowl? You've got to be kidding me. The only reason Dallas has a chance to win their division is because it's not a strong division, but don't expect for them to go very far.

But what can I say? I'm a Texans fan, through and through. But I know better than to expect a lot from them. This season should be better than the last (two or three), but that doesn't say very much.

That's my odd ball what if prediction because of the connections of the QBs. My real feeling is Steelers verse Carolina, but I'm biased and always predict the Steelers.

That'd be a fun game to watch, at least.

I'll take a large order of cheerleaders.

Once I realized what kind of baseball season the Braves were going to have, I decided that I would be satisfied if they would just hang on to a prayer of a chance at least until college and NFL football started.

So college football is under way, and the NFL starts today. And the Braves lost both games of a double-header to the stinking Mets yesterday to put them 7 games out of the wild card hunt.

Yes, I am ready for some football.

Post-game 1 analysis: I'm not underestimating Miami; they look stuck in the 7-9 to 9-7 zone of mediocrity to me; in the AFC, that means they'll miss the playoffs.

I also think Cincy could end up 9-7. They have a brutal schedule.

Maybe. But great QBs in their prime are worth a lot.

 

[Captain Tagon]

Pittsburgh really impressed tonight, especially Batch's play. Miami fans shouldn't be too disappointed though. If Dante can calm down they could be a threat.

 

[Ghostwind]

For an opening game, this one was quite good. I think Miami will be a real threat if Culpepper can get in sync better. The Steelers should win their division at the very least. I won't be surprised to see them contending for the Super Bowl.

As much of a diehard fan as I am about Kansas City, I don't see them doing well this season. I think they need one more year before they will be ready to make their run. New coach this year and a lot of new players means some reworking of the team. Of course, the other thing that will determine how well they do is whether ornot they can all stay healthy. Something KC hasn't done over the past 2 seasons.

So is anyone else here as amused by what a dolt the Miami coach is? I mean the sillyness he indulged in trying to stretch out his challenge call which gave the Steelers a free touchdown was hilarious. He's whining about it in the news today.

If I were a Miami fan, I'd me mighty riled with him.
