NFL Football

Sports threads come and go here, it seems. But this is important stuff.

Who else are big NFL fans?

My Dolphins are 0-2. Very sad. I always have my back-up team (The Colts, who I have liked before their perennial greatness), but it is painful to watch.

Looks like the Patriots are going to go undefeated.

Who else loves Sunday football?

My Cowboys are 2-0 for the first time since 1999. They kicked some Dolphin butt today, 37-20. Dolphins just didn't seem like they had what it takes to take on the caliber of team such as the Dallas Cowboys. In the beginning of the game the Dolphins looked as though the could handle the competition, but as the game came closer to ending, they just got tired. Go Cowboys! w00t!

I had to work yesterday morning through yesterday afternoon, and then I went with my family to Portland, so I didn't get to see much football. Looking up yesterday's scores tells me that Green Bay has one again, however. In much better fasion than last week, too.I don't know how good the Giants are this year (particularly without their starting quarterback) but yeah.

I see the Bengals lost... against the Browns, no less. Oh well; at least former Oregon State QB Derek Anderson looked good. It's crazy that he's a starter now; he did not seem destined for that in his last year here. The U of O fans used to call him "Anderception." He does have something like the second most yards of a Pac 10 QB of all time, however. He had a much better year his senior year, too; he just never had much mobility, and he still threw like 11 or so interceptions that year.

I really hope the Patriots don't go to the Super Bowl again this year; I'm getting so tired of them. The Colts, too. Anyhoo...

The Dolphins had a lead for awhile. They just don't have the drive. I really hope they tank and get Brian Brohm next year. With my luck, they will win 3 games and not beat out the Chiefs for worst team in the league.

Well its cool to have threads like this. Although i'm more of a CFL fanatic, i do i love some intense NFL games from time to time.

This year, i thought maybe the Dolphins would maybe make wild card but much to my disappointment they cannot win a game...*cries*

Although this year i'm pretty sure the winner will be ither the Patriots, Steelers or Colts. Not to take any credit from the Dallas Cowboys, but they will eventually be stopped. I'm a little surprised about the Titans and the Saints..i really thought they would do better...

My favorite football team is the Packers which are 2-0 right now, first time 2-0 since 2001 season. I'm really surprised with the Packers defense this year. Hoping for a Super Bowl win this year or at least make it to the playoffs.

I think they always had talent there. I mean, come on; they've had Nick Barnett since... whatever year that was (he's from Oregon State.) Seriously, in like 2003 or 2004, their defense was pretty good. So was the offense. Things just went downhill for some reason. I'll always remember one embarrasing play, however, where one of the defensive players had a hold of a guy's arm for like thirty yards and couldn't bring him down. Anyhoo...

My team is the SF 49ers. I live in the SF Bay area, and who the hell wants to root for the Raiders... they're scary... Plus i'm originally from Salt Lake City and SF tends to get QBs from Utah

edit: 49ers are also 2-0 for the first time since 1999 (like the cowboys) but it might be a fluke.

I saw the tail end of that game. They had a chance, kinda... until that traitor Najeh Davenport scored that last touchdown. The jerk. Sorry K.

I saw through the score board updates, however, that the Pack is back. Or San Diego just isn't that good this year. But Favre has tied Marino's record for like 420 TD passes. Yay! Also, the defense must've done something right afterwards, because the score went from 24-21 to 31-21. Way to go, Pack. Way to go.

Meanwhile, Cincinnati is playing Seattle. I don't know how they got down there, but Seattle scored a touchdown on a 28 yard drive... Cincinnati responded with a touchdown, and things were looking good... until TJ Houshmandzadeh fumbled at his own 30-some yard line. I was like, "Okay, that's enough for me for now." Also, the cameras were on some Seattle fan with huge hair, leaning out over the railing and screaming. I think he's my hero as far as crazed fans go; I want to be like him when I grow up. Anyhoo...

Congratulations to Brett Favre for tying Marino's record, but it should be noted that it took Favre two more games, and he is close to breaking the all time interception record set by a guy that played for twenty five years (George Blanda.)

Week 3 was a big one. We saw who came back down to Earth (Chargers, Bears) and a few surprises (Cowboys at 3-0)

Takishi · 09-24-2007, 08:55 AM

Pretty much, right now, I'm just watching football because I'm bored and have nothing else to do. Some teams that I saw that won are 3-0 like Cowboys, Colts and Patriots.

I have been watching all the New England Patriots games and they've had the same final score 38 in the first 3 games they have played.

Korova · 09-24-2007, 11:00 AM

Dude the bears are looking ugly out there... how the hell did they get to the super bowl with Rex Grossman leading them. They need to bench that guy.

Anyways, yeah I was watching SF and they actually looked good on a few drives. It opened up in the 4th because SF had to get desperate and take more risks, which didn't work out. It was about that time my eyes switched to my buddy's game (we were at a sports bar for breakfast beers) where the Chargers were holding onto a lead. My buddy was nervous because the Cheese were at 1st and goal. then 2nd and goal... then 3rd and goal... then 4th and goal.. .then failed 2pt conversion!! haha.. there was much rejoicing on this side of the bar. 2 minutes left, Chargers had it locked up all they needed to do was run the clock... and then had the shortest drive of the game... from there its history... It was a fun game to watch.. what the hell happened to LT??? First pick in most fantasy leagues.

Takishi · 09-25-2007, 09:15 AM

Man, the saints are just getting their butts kicked. They need to do something to start winning games. When I watched that game last night, there were lots of interceptions. It was still a good game tho.
