2006-2007 NFL Season Discussion

*sits back to watch the carnage*

Ravens destroy Steelers and Bills in back-to-back weeks, then get a week off to watch the first round of the playoffs. Love it.

I'd say the Ravens-Colts potential pairing I predicted has become much less likely...The Chiefs can run a lot and that should spell their doom this weekend. Worse comes to worse, they won't stop Jamal Lewis if we have to play them. Hopefully the Chargers will lose before they get to us, but we've beaten them once and we can do it again.

Giants vs Eagles is going to cause a stir in my work place, with all of the New Yorkers that commute during the week and all of the people from the DE/PA area. Huge congrats to the Eagles after being dead in the water.

Super Bowl prediction: Ravens vs Saints. Ravens win.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I swear the Chiefs game was near-scandalous...I mean, they must've been trying to lose. That's fine...Let's see Peyton throw some interceptions next week. Chris McAlister and Ed Reed will both be glad to take 'em to the house! Colts die next week...

Poor Romo...People in the Northeast hate Dallas too, but I was pulling for them just because they were underdogs VS last year's NFC champs. I won't shed a tear for them, but I was staring in disbelief well after the game ended. I mean, the game was OVER! Dallas had WON! And they LOST! Crazy shit...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What's wrong with McNair? The guy's done nothing but win since coming to Baltimore. I have as much confidence in him as I would Brady or Manning (okay, REGULAR season Manning!). It's not like we need to put up 6 TD's per game...He gets the job done, even if his numbers aren't sparkling. Remember: He has a win over the Chargers this year.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

We'll see...It will be a good game, no doubt. Not every week it's the NFL's best offense vs the best defense. This isn't Kansas City they're playing...

Eagles played solid...The Ravens killed the Saints pretty badly even with their "home field advantage", so that looks about dead even to me, much like Eagles vs Giants were. I'll pick... ...Saints by a field goal. Have to hand it to the Eagles for not throwing in the towel with McNabb gone. That'll be interesting to sort out in the off-season...Congrats if they make it to the Finals or better.

Best weekend of football: Coming next week! The worst game will probably be Seattle vs Bears and that's last year's NFC champs vs a 13-3 team still. That's Grossman's game to win or loss. I'm feeling upset there.

Oh, and I like Pats over Chargers. Give that one...Hmm, Pats by a TD and a field goal.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That was...winnable for us. We lost by a matter of inches (two balls were about to be intercepted by Ed Reed, but were deflected by Ray Lewis and McNair's first interception was close). And the refs blew 3 calls: A BS holding call on Ogden, they whistled Reed's interception dead when he was able to return it (and they WERE returning it) and there was clearly a late hit before that (I think on Mason) that should have been good for 15 yards. That stings, but keeping that in mind, I have no doubt we'd have won if a couple of those 6 things had gone our way because it was a close game.

We made a lot of mistakes and our offensive playcalling was...awful (that's twice Jamal Lewis has done nothing in the playoffs), but we were pretty much even with Manning the whole way (remember: he should have had 2 more interceptions).

Addai though...He's a good RB. He definitely dented our defensive line.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Man, both Eagles and Ravens die the same day...It's going to be a surreal aura at work this week. Saints though...They're the real deal. Reggie Bush got fucking GORE!ed in that first drive though. That was one of the hardest hits I've ever seen on someone...I swear he was horizontal before he hit the ground.

FELIPE NO

At this point, I'm just rooting NFC...Colts and Manning can suck an egg and I'm tired of seeing the Pats win it all. The Bears are fresh and Saints (perennial losers most of their existence) are a feel-good story, Katrina aside. I'll do like the rest of America and root Saints.

Good god though...How could the Chargers LOSE that game? It's madness...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That being said, I really fucking hate Peyton Manning and the Irsey cocksuckers who stole the Colts from Baltimore back in 1984 and went on to beat the Ravens via fluke, and the game was pretty damn entertaining.

Here's hoping the Bears will dismember the fuckers.

Fixed.

Go Bears! Grossman for president!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
