2007 NFL season

[Shape]

Ohhhhhhh hell yea! Football is just around the corner. All teams have now reported to training camp and exhibition games will begin the first week of August.

My beloved 49ers are the trendy pick by a lot of experts to be one of the surprise teams for the season. I'm freakin' stoked.

Also, Bill Wash died at 75 this morning of Leukemia. =[

For those of you who don't know who he is or what he did for the game, he was a legendary coach. He led the Niners to 3 Super Bowls in the 1980's.

Few men did more to shape the look of football into the 21st century. His cerebral nature and often-brilliant stratagems earned him the nickname "The Genius" well before his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993.

RIP Walsh. I hate the 9ers but I liked Walsh, Montana, Rice, and Young.

Raiders will be better this year. No way they can be worse than last year.

actually they can most definitley be worse. they can either win "one" or "zero" games.

:lmao:

[CoreyBato]

I'm a Green Bay Packers man myself.
Vince Lombardi was a God amongst men.

And for reasons previously stated in earlier threads I despise the Detroit Lions.

[edelricluver]

RIP Walsh. I'm a Patriot and Cowboy fan. I hope the Colts suck this year.

[CoreyBato]

They won't. Manning is too awesome for that. Chances are they're going to get to the Super Bowl this year.

[El Wiseguy]

The Colts are the best team and have been for years.

[CoreyBato]

Yeah...Its sad but true. I hate to admit it but Green Bay ain't shit compared to them.


Damn Colts.

[Shape]

The Chargers will win the Super Bowl.

[edelricluver]

The Chargers will win the Super Bowl.

Not a chance. It's the Patriot's or the Cowboy's year.

[SyntaxSnack]

NOOOOOOOOOO! You're only making it okay for them to produce more John Madden games.

Stop it, guys.

[Mr_Devious]

NOOOOOOOOOO! You're only making it okay for them to produce more John Madden games.

Stop it, guys.

haha so true

they should just call them Madden: Roster Update

[edelricluver]

They won't. Manning is too awesome for that. Chances are they're going to get to the Super Bowl this year.

I doubt that.

[Anastashia Sage]

Colts will make it again. Shape didn't you say last year the 49ners were going to make it. Because I feel like that isa deja vu statement.

Iam an Indy Colts and Carolina girl.

[Shape]

Not a chance. It's the Patriot's or the Cowboy's year.

you saying the Chargers don't have a chance proves you know diddly shit about football.


Shape didn't you say last year the 49ners were going to make it
um. no.

i did say this last season though:

The 49ers are on the right track. I would be surprised if we didn't make the playoffs next year.

[CoreyBato]

49ers in the playoffs?
It'll happen when the government makes a jet fighter out of horse shit.

[Shape]

you can join edelricluver in the "i know diddly shit about football" category.

[CoreyBato]

I was saying they were getting into the playoffs man...They really are trying to make a jet fighter that uses manure as a fuel source.

[z311y]

Oh boy. I'm heading right on back to Italy now...

[CoreyBato]

They're calling it "Shit Force One".
It's going to be a most epic fighter jet. Why you ask? 'Cuz if the missile don't kill ya, the smell will.

[Shape]

ohhhhhhhk. now that we're done with corey trying(and failing miserably) to be funny, here's some football news.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Frank Gore, the San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl running back, broke a bone in his right hand Monday during the first padded practice of training camp and might not play in the preseason.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp07/news/story?id=2955335

the article goes on to say he should be ready for the regular season. thank god.

[Anastashia Sage]

Oh okays.. I thought you did.. Sorry...

[CoreyBato]

Preseason doesn't matter much anyway. I mean, I can't count the number of times the Lions did good during the Preseason and then bombed during the Regular season. Frank not being able to play in Preseason will just give him time to better prepare for regular season. He should be a more effective player since the injury isn't too bad.

[edelricluver]

I know about football. I'll give the colts credit, they're great but I think that this year another team will be Super Bowl Camps.

[z311y]

Well, that puts us in our place, doesn't it?

[brknangel]

Lifelong Texan here so also a lifelong Cowboys fan..through the good times and the bad times...true blue fan. Sure would like to see them in another Super Bowl soon, maybe this will be their year. We finally got a decent quarterback....been lacking that since Troy's days.

[El Wiseguy]

haha, Patriots. I knew they were up to something... ¬¬

[CoreyBato]

Its really funny for me because my brother's favorite team is the Patriots. He cried himself to sleep when he found out about the whole cheating thing.

[Shape]

Well the Patriots have proved this season that they are without a doubt the team to beat in NFL, without the cheating thing.

[El Wiseguy]

I'd have to say "one" of the teams to beat. Someone out there is still the defending World Champs.

[Shape]

Obviously Indy is probly the only team out there that really has a chance to beat them. But I still think NE is in a class of their own.

[CoreyBato]

Peyton's an asshole. He always chokes at when the monet of truth arrives. As such, NE will always reign ove Indy as far as I'm concerned. They are still a pretty solid team, even I have to admit that.

[Shape]

Peyton's an asshole.
Peyton Manning is one of the classiest football players playing right now.

He always chokes at when the monet of truth arrives.
You know the Colts won the Super Bowl last year, right?

As such, NE will always reign ove Indy as far as I'm concerned.
Except last year when the Colts beat them?

No wonder you're near dead last in the Fantasy league. You don't know shit about football. :lmao:

Hmmm, Patriots were a dynasty for 4 years straight. One year from indy is like a random sneeze, no one cares. :P

plus theyre very solid this year.

[edelricluver]

You're right. The patriots have a great offense and defence. It's going to be a great game on November 4th.

I agree with you on all but 2 picks, actually. Raiders and Tampa Bay will win too.

[windsongs]

Wtf are you talking about, child?

I agree with you on all but 2 picks, actually. Raiders and Tampa Bay will win too.

yeah cuz military actually hires children now, esp those who are of legal age to drink. Come back when you might actually know something of me, til then........dream on.

Wtf are you blathering about?

Come back when you have something relevant to say, retard.

awww look, hes gone to name calling. I coulda sworn that was something they did back in junior high. :lmao: Dont get offended cuz patriots a hell of a better chance at winning than Indy. :P

[staticgrave666]

Um..what are you on about? Isn't this thread about football? Oh and the Patriots suck, just so you know =P

[edelricluver]

Oh and the Patriots suck, just so you know =P

Wft? The patriots do not suck.

[windsongs]

Um..what are you on about? Isn't this thread about football? Oh and the Patriots suck, just so you know =P

I was talking bout football, but this guy wanted to make it about me for some reason. Guess he has no facts to back up Indy as well as he claims without trying to insult me like a kid in junior high. :lmao:

so whos your team? mr NE hater

[staticgrave666]

I'm a Giants fan, and I think I'm all alone O_O

[windsongs]

ahhh, the giants vs cowboys game was very goood. Its a shame they lost too, cowboys got lucky IMO.

[edelricluver]

I'm a Giants fan, and I think I'm all alone O_O

I like the giants, when they're not playing: New England, Dallas or New Orleans.

[Shape]

I was talking bout football
O RLY?

WZF is this then?

yeah cuz military actually hires children now, esp those who are of legal age to drink. Come back when you might actually know something of me, til then........dream on.

Oh and this to:

Yea, Indy definitley ISN'T 5-0.

[windsongs]

Hmmm, Patriots were a dynasty for 4 years straight. One year from indy is like a random sneeze, no one cares. :P

thats right

plus theyre very solid this year.


Gah. Another who knows nothing of football.

go back another page bucko. Your the one who started it. Got a reply to this? Id love to hear it.

Yea, Indy definitley ISN'T 5-0.

zomg and NE isnt 6 - 0 with AT LEAST 34 pnts scored in every game.



**Don't double post** --El Wiseguy

[edelricluver]

zomg and NE isnt 6 - 0 with AT LEAST 34 pnts scored in every game.

True. New England is beating the crap out of Miami.

[Shape]

You can't be this dumb, can you?

NE is still a dynasty. They will more than likely win the Super Bowl. Tom Brady will probly go down as arguably the best QB to play the game. I never disputed that.

But you writing off Indy as some scrub team is just flat out ridiculous.

And I'de still love to hear how your military comment had anything to do with the subject at hand.

[windsongs]

True. New England is beating the crap out of Miami.

Not to mention they beat the crap out of the cowboys who were what? 5-0? Just like indy, mwahahahahaha!

[edelricluver]

True dat too. We play Indy at Indy on November 4th.

you dont dispute my claim that NE will win yet you called out my intelligence on the matter. You made it personal. I am in the military and your calling me a child? when you dont even know me? Nice job there bucko lol.

As for indy, i do admit ive had little to any interest in them from the beginning. Every team wins some and loses some, so what. I was stating that a team that may have won one superbowl isnt necessarily going to win again. Holding a superbowl title is much harder than winning their first. NE is already a great team, so when they face off against Indy, they will be playing much better than they are now because they know Indy will not be the normal pushovers.

This is the claim I disputed, bucko.

Perhaps I should of singled it out, rather than quoting your full statement. Regardless, that's what I was disputing.

You just being in the military doesn't justify a random, idiotic statement with nothing whatsoever to do with this subject.

Well fuck me sideways, I agree. :eek:

[Zingo93]

Not a chance. It's the Patriot's or the Cowboy's year.

I'm with ya on that one.

[edelricluver]

I'm with ya on that one.

Yay! At least someone agrees with me. :D

[Zingo93]

I love their teams their awsome

[edelricluver]

I love their teams their awsome

Me too. I've been a Dallas fan all my life and a patriots fan for almost the same length of time.

[Zingo93]

Kool but I have been only a fan for 3 years. I started to like them after my number 1 team failed me

[edelricluver]

What team was your number one?

[Zingo93]

Mississippi.

[windsongs]

[QUOTE=Shape;124005]This is the claim I disputed, bucko.

QUOTE]

then weve come to an understanding. That is a very disputable comment i did make there.

so onto the score predictions, just for the hell of it.

42 - 35 patriots win

close but not cowboys/giants close

[edelricluver]

Mississippi.

Mississippi? I'm Kentucky Wildcat. :D

Patriots/Colts: 45-35 New England win.

[Zingo93]

They just beat LSU

[edelricluver]

Oh yeah and almost beat Florida.

[Zingo93]

THEY DID!
I thought they lost hard.
But they haven't beat them in 20 years.

[edelricluver]

Kentucky just barely lost but I don't see the going down in the polls.

[Zingo93]

No they won't.
because they beat LSU

[windsongs]

hmmm 32-22 tenn vs houston, think houston can catch up in 8 mins? i wonder.....

[Zingo93]

Yeah I think they could. If they get a 2 touch downs.

[edelricluver]

I dunno. I wonder if the patriots have scored more than 50 points on Miami.

[Zingo93]

...tough one.

[edelricluver]

There's like 2:30 left to play and New England's winning 49-28.

[Zingo93]

No way the other team is gonna win.

[edelricluver]

No way the other team is gonna win.

True dat.

[Zingo93]

Lol :lmao: not a chance that other team.

[edelricluver]

so, who else do you like in college football?

[Zingo93]

I also Like flordia.
Sorry for the loss on ketucky...

[windsongs]

Im a UT and UNM fan, mostly cuz i went to UNM and grew up in Texas, WOOT!

for some reason i enjoy college football more than NFL, maybe its just the atmosphere.

[edelricluver]

It's cool. Kentucky's a lot better than last year.

[Zingo93]

Im a UT and UNM fan, mostly cuz i went to UNM and grew up in Texas, WOOT!

for some reason i enjoy college football more than NFL, maybe its just the atmosphere.

really Wow I know alot of UNM fans myself.
but I know kentucky is a TON more better they are 13-1

[windsongs]

i havent been able to keep up with UNM nor have i heard much about them since i left college :(. Bout all i hear about is UT but thats obvious.

[edelricluver]

Funny thing is, Kentucky got better and Louisville got worse.

[Zingo93]

Wow I hear a ton from my friends and on thy Internet.
But yeah that is funny both teams form ketucky are oppisite.

[windsongs]

i lost all my friends numbers cuz of phone issues after i moved :(

so whats the news, feed me

[edelricluver]

Who do you think's going to the BCS National Title game this year?

[windsongs]

holy crap!! huge houston comeback, 50 seconds to go. this is a good game!

[Zingo93]

Who do you think's going to the BCS National Title game this year?

Kentucky I think or Ohio plus Flordia I can't diciede
Man are you serious I knew they would come back and kill that other team

[edelricluver]

Kentucky I think or Ohio plus Flordia I can't diciede
Man are you serious I knew they would come back and kill that other team

Kentucky has a good shot at it.

[Zingo93]

Kentucky has a good shot at it.

yeah a really good one but the Ohio team is the number one team in the Country...Now

[edelricluver]

Ohio State vs. Kentucky. That would be awesome.

[Zingo93]

Oh yeah. XD

[edelricluver]

It would be a high scorin' game.

[Zingo93]

Yes like 666-665

[edelricluver]

lol. Who would win?

[Zingo93]

Kentucky I don't think Ohio has beatin' LSU though so I think Kentucky would win.

[edelricluver]

It might happen. lol

[Zingo93]

Yeah I hope. I hate Ohio. -_-

[edelricluver]

Lol. My grandpa was from ohio and was an ohio state fan, I try to root for them but if they play kentucky, go wildcats.

[Zingo93]

Lol :lmao:
*sneezes*

[edelricluver]

lol.

[Zingo93]

O_o Wat?

[edelricluver]

[Shape]

Ok, enough with the nonsense chat. Keep it on topic please. Kthx.

[Shape]

PLAYOFF TIME!!!

Wild Card Weekend starts tomorrow. Here's the matchups:

Washington @ Seattle

NY Giants @ Tampa

Jacksonville @ Pittsburg

Tennessee @ San Diego


Mah picks:

Seattle
Tampa
J-Ville
SD

[edelricluver]

My predictions:

Washington @ Seattle: Seatle

NY Giants @ Tampa: Tampa

Jacksonville @ Pittsburg: Jacksonville

Tennessee @ San Diego: San Diego

[hungrykirby]

my bets are

seatle-pretty ovious
giants-cause the seem to be doing good this year
jacksonvill-cause their awsome
and i've never seen these team play so idk

[El Wiseguy]

Washington may surprise you. I'm rooting for them, but I think Seattle is going to win.

Giants over Tampa.

Jacksonville and Pittsburgh... TOUGHIE. Jacksonville just seems to be better... then again, Pitt's defense is so good they can stop Jacksonville's running game (which is doing so well).

I'm giving this to Pitt.

Tennessee may give San Diego a hard time. But, San Diego is doing really good right now. They finished the season strong after a weak start.
