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

[Crothian]

P.S.
San Antonio is a long way from you.

That's sad

THere's no Sad in Football threads!!

You're just saying this to make me feel better. I know you are secretly loving it. Its a shame your experience points are tied to it.

P.S.
San Antonio is a long way from you.

I miss you baby! (Sorry Crothian)

On a happy football note, my Chargers won! Woohoo!

I still think we'd be undefeated if we kept Brees.

I quite agree with you.

Wow, the Colts could have sealed the deal with that kick, too bad they flubbed it. Never mind, they intercepted the ball! Nice.

 

[Crothian]

Nice win for the Colts!! Maybe this is their year!!

Miami beat Chicago.

I'm beyond stunned....

Owell - great win for the Jaguars. 37-7 is fun!

Miami beat Chicago.

I'm beyond stunned....

It's really not all that unusual for a really bad team to beat a really good team once or twice a year in the NFL; the talent disparity between the best team and the worst isn't large enough to overcome a really bad day with luck factors and injuries.

I argue a lot that the 1996 Packers were the best team in the history of the NFL (as the only team to ever have the top offense, the top defense, and win the Super Bowl)... and they lost a game to a Colts team that won no more than 3 games that year.

Ohhh, that particular game drove me nuts. The Pack made Ken Dilger look like the second coming of Dave Casper.

Just more proof of how hard it is for even the best teams to bring their A game every week.

And now, the Bear faithful here in Chicago are waiting with bated breath for the outcome of the exam on Urlacher's foot.

Miami beat Chicago.

I'm beyond stunned....

I picked the Bears to win, but to be honest I'm not terribly surprised they lost. Every time this year that Rex Grossman has faced a pass-defense ranked in the top 16 he's thrown multiple picks, except this time the defense wasn't enough to save the game for them.

Miami's defense is sound, but...It's Joey Harrington at QB!

The fact that Harrington orchestrated even 1 point on that Bears defense is amazing.
