Ok,I pose a question to NS users.What is the best team in the NFL?
Also,could someone please tell me how to make a poll for this?

After last Sunday's games, Indianapolis, Chicago, and New England emerged as the likeliest potential Super Bowl champions. It's too early to pick one team, but those three are the clear favorites.

I voted for my Washington Redskins.People may say Im in denial but I belive that we the most talent on our team in the NFL.

Indianapolis: Peyton Manning chokes in big games.

New England & Chicago: The favorites to play; if Grossman stays healthy, Chicago may even have the offense to win. Otherwise I would say New England (of course, it will probably end up being neither; re: the Steelers winning last year as a wild card).

At least we can count out a repeat Steelers' championship.

Individual talent. But you don't have a team down in Washington. You have 22 teams. And until they learn how to play as one, you'll see many, many 6-10 seasons.

And as a Browns fan, I couldn't be happier.;)

Yes,I know.I was mainly joking in my post.We stink this year.I do have hope that we can pull a comeback.We are facing Dallas this weekend and they are our main rivals so I hope we can at least beat them.

I don't know what sort of comeback you expect, but if you guys go 7-2 the rest of the season you're looking at an outside chance of a playoff spot at the very best.

Well i see it as,if we all the rest of our games we will be 10-6 and that will ussualy get you a wildcard spot.last year we won 5 in a row to go to the playoffs so 8 in a row isnt that far off.

New England.

After watching how Grossman played against Arizona I can see that he has a looooong way to go, sheer luck and a high amount of bad play by the cards is the only reason they won that game. Chicago is a paper tiger, Indy can't win if they need to depend on defence, and that leaves the pats.

That makes me sad...so very sad.. I quit watching football this year because they are sucking so bad...I keep telling bill,"Put Batch in until Big Ben gets his head on straight-

And as a Browns fan, I couldn't be happier.;)

Not like your Browns are going anywhere fast :p

BRONCOS!

http://www.signaturetumblers.com/images/NFL/NFL_Denver_Broncos.jpg

Okay, maybe not best, but they are my personal favorite, as always. If there was anything my dad imprinted on me, it was his love for the Broncos.

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!!!


What... losing to the Browns dosn't mean they're bad, it just means they're too good to be confined by the so called rules of American football.


Seriously the Colts, but only cause I hate the Patriots. I just don't trust Rex Grossman.

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!!!

...the Jets? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

You know, I was playing Madden '07 last night. I have it set to the hardest difficulty--called All-Madden--and I STILL creamed the Jets in a random exhibition game 41-3.

...ohwait, you weren't serious.

I can beat most teams with the Jets at All-Madden as long as I'm using my own playbooks. But they are depressing, so when I started a franchise I did a fantasy draft instead of using the Jets for the first time since I got Madden '98 oh so long ago (not that they had franchise, they only had season mode(i think)).

Plus the Jets look like they will be pretty good next year. Eric (he's not a)Man(he's a )gini looks to be a good head coach, and they drafted very well this year.


btw, what team were you using?

Da Bears!!! :D

btw, what team were you using?

The Broncos, of course. It takes a lot to get me to play any other team. Call me choosy, but that's just how I am.

Not like your Browns are going anywhere fast :p

True dat...but there's something to be said for low expectations. :D

As a life-long Cleveland sports fan (I was raised on the Drive, the Fumble, the Shot, fucking Marlins in '97) I'm used to it.

At least we beat the Jets.:cool:

Go Pats! Keep us the ass kicking! :D

i've never heard of any of them. basketball translates better over the atlantic. even then i think i might be able to name 2 teams. and i've actually played basketball with a member of another team but i don't remember what they were. he was quite old, name of ronaldo lawrence, did a summer school thing for a while in the uk.

Go Pats! Keep us the ass kicking! :D

Ya know, I could have sworn they were the ones getting their asses kicked when they played against the Broncos last time...and the time before that...

If we are going to talk about the past then maybe we should talk about the Patriots 3 Super Bowl rings in four years. And if we want to talk about the present then the Patriots are most definately kicking ass still. :)

...damn you. You just had to bring that up...

I'll betcha some kind of NS title that both the Pats and the Broncos will make it to the playoffs, and the Broncos will beat the Pats again. How's that?

...someone else come up with winner and loser titles. I suck at this kind of thing.

I suppose wishful thinking is needed for you. That is ok. I see the Pats only improving, what with their excellent record and their payroll so low. They could only improve!

Damn them for letting Branch go however. Not like they could't afford him.

So, are we just going to completely ignore the ability of the Broncos' defense, then? Are we going to ignore Champ Bailey and his 99-YARD INTERCEPTION RETURN, done against Brady, no less? Nyet, I say, my dear Utracia. Nyet. The Pats may improve. They're a good team, I'll grant 'em that. A great team even. But the last two times they faced my Broncos, they failed. And they will fail again.

Screw the Broncos. Go Browns !!

Think I have to take the browns to the super bowl right now! :p

Da Bears, Da Bears

Think I have to take the browns to the super bowl right now! :p

While I admire the sentiment, I wouldn't put money on it.

When Cleveland wins a championship in any sport, we are going to re-define the term "Championship Riot". I can't wait.

Well, at least we have King James....

I especially like the San Francisco Samurai Pizza Cats. :)

Sorry. Not trying to offend. It's been 20 years; I'm still not over it.

And as much as I hate that horse-toothed bastard, Elway is still the greatest QB I've ever seen play.

No, It was pretty obvious you weren't serious...no one who has any understanding of today's NFL would actually think that the Browns were contenders...My point was to illustrate that I, as biased and rabid as I am, am under no such illusions myself.

Anyways, to state the old Cleveland sports axiom, "There's always next year...how bad do we have to suck to get a good draft pick?" ;)

Can the zebra say force out? here: f-o-r-c-e o-u-t force out. That was one of the worst calls I've seen in a crucial point in a football game. Honestly. The NFL needs to stop being so goddamn cheap and hire some refs who aren't 60 year old lawyers.

And **** the ****ing Jets ****ing run defense. Just **** them. They wouldn't be able to stop Mike Vanderjagt with a hamstring injury rushing with the backup offensive line of a Division III football team.

Elway is still the greatest QB I've ever seen play.
:D

I love hearing that. I will never get tired of it. Never.

You know what? I agree with you. I think he would've come down in bounds. However, 'judgement calls' are just that (Please note my earlier 1987 field goal comment). You'll still be angry about it 20 years from now (maybe not; it wasn't the AFC championship game...).

And they didn't stop a rushing attack with a backup Div III O-Line...that's what the Browns have.

In closing...(oh how I love to taunt, I get so few opportunities...)

SCOREBOARD !!! :D

I wonder if we could talk LBJ into playing defensive back? He was All-State in high school...

Agreed,Agreed.All Clevland has is the bright hope of the new MJ.

In all seriousness, good luck to the Browns. Society knows Cleaveland could use a true championship win.

Of course, as a Broncos fan I'll have to root against the Browns should they and the Broncs ever clash, but otherwise, good luck to the Browns, eh?

You're a bigger man than I. I still say F@*K the Broncos.

(Sorry...20 years, not over it yet, never gonna happen...) :) :)

I'm not sure. New England or Chicago, I'd say. My team (Minnesota) certainly isn't the best, but they've done better so far than I thought they would, even though they just got their asses handed to them by the Pats.

You're a bigger man than I.
Hee...

I still say F@*K the Broncos.

(Sorry...20 years, not over it yet, never gonna happen...) :) :)
Bah, don't worry about it. I'm not offended. We're all entitled to our opinions.

By the way, gang, I wish good luck to all teams...except one. There's only one team that deserves to lose every game it ever plays in, that should never be allowed to win. Of course, that is the Raiders. So, uh, sorry if anyone is a Raiders fan here, but your team can go to hell. Rest of ya, though, good luck.

(And if you ever play against the Raiders, CRUSH THEM!)

I am another Skins fan, sadly and I will agree that we have the most talent on our team, but no true leader emerges. Plus Brunell is a fucking tool who needs to end his career. Our owner's not too sharp either.

I think the Chargers and Ravens are going to stay very competitive in the AFC, but I think the overall NFL best is a competition between Indy and ... sigh ... as much as I hate to say it, New England. As long as Peyton and his offense (with exception to their running back...) stay healthy, I think a 15 win season is not out of the question. Their defense is shaky, but Peyton somehow finds a way to shoulder the whole team and win. It may not be the prettiest, but it gets done. The Pats are just starting to scare me with how solid they've been, and I definitely think they're striving to show that they can dominate their way back to the title of Super Bowl champs. The game this week should be a treat.

Other Mentionables: Denver (Do they even know what a bad running back is?), New Orleans (Cinderella found her lost slipper?), NY (Obviously not the Jets), Atlanta (Vick is more impressive every week), Chicago (I don't see them winning, but damn is their defense nasty!)

Hee...

Heh. The Browns did. (Well, crush is a bit much, but a win is win, no? Especially when you're 2-5...)

No, I don't think we do. We just keep getting lucky every single time we hire someone to be our running back. 'Course, they're usually on the team for a couple years or so before the primary one retires/goes to another team/whatever, but that's standard practice for any player in any positions anyway.

Todsboro: I watched a few pieces of that game. Lemme tell ya, I enjoy watching the Raiders lose. Hell, when I was doing a Franchise in Madden 2005, I played all the Raiders games as well as Broncos games and intentionally forced the Raiders to lose(by playing as them and allowing the other team to score all sorts of points) all sixteen regular season games, just so I could hear the EA Sports Radio segment about it. God DAMN that was so enjoyable listening to that poor caller cry and cry about how his Raiders lost all of their games. HILARIOUS!

That, my friend, is dedication. Al Davis would be proud of your 'Commitment to Excellance'.

However, don't sell the Bronco's RB's short. They draft good linemen, train them well, and MOST importantly, pick good RB's to fit their scheme (i.e. 'Hit the Hole; Make ONE (just one) cut; and fall forward.

By the way, thanks for Droughns. How's Courtney Brown working out for you?? :) :)

This'll tell you how long it's been since I seriously followed the NFL. (for those old enough to remember) My team's the Houston Oilers.

Oh, yes, I'm well versed with our linemen. A pity Matt Lepsis had a season--and probably career--ruining injury.

You're welcome for Droughns, and as for Courtney Brown...I dunno. I'm not sure I've been paying as much attention to the real life team as I have to my current franchise team, which is somewhat different. (I, for instance, have Michael Bennet as my halfback. He is currently in real life the halfback for the Kansas City Chiefs.)

Courtney Brown's injured, and out for the season...pretty much like he always was with Cleveland (former #1 overall pick). Actually, Denver's whole D-Line was with Cleveland 2 years ago...kinda strange....

Oh. My. God.

You know they're the Tennessee Titans now, right ??For quite a while. I followed the Vikings for a while, since so many Oilers ended up with them. I know McNair's still out there somewhere.

EDIT: Last time I attended a football game was Oilers vs. Jets. Damn Oilers lost.

Okay, maybe not best, but they are my personal favorite, as always. If there was anything my dad imprinted on me, it was his love for the Broncos.
I had high hopes for them this season, i picked them to go all the way.
Their 'D' is, but their offence sucks balls, Plummer, who i had in one of my Fantasy teams sucked so hard it ruined my season.

They were unlucky last season.
----------
Chicago seem like a team of no names to me, thats why they now have my backing.

GO BEARS!

At least we can count out a repeat Steelers' championship.I refuse to concede that. :mad:

1, 2, 3

BRONCOS!4, 5, 6

Are going down on Sunday!
:p

I think everyone here is missing the real best team except that one guy.Its

da bears da bears.

They have an even better defense then they did last year and rex grossman has found himself .There going tobe the next Ravens prototype champions which is defense wins super bowls.The Bears will not go undeafeated.The cards game showed that.Its a miracle they won.The Bears have bee so dominant in ery other game they have played.The Super Bowl will be Bears over the Colts.

(The Colts will also not go undeafeated.)

One more thing,look for the redskins going 8 in a row and getting beaten by the Bears in the NFC championship.

Chicago Bears!

Go redskins.

I believe a rather large guy named Ronnie Brown had something to do with the Bears' loss... Sadly.

I honestly don't know how that happened, though. Maybe Chicago was expecting a blowout?

lawlz at da bears!

Its a happy day when they get embarrased :D :D :D :D :D :D

-parties-

redskin pulled out a last secound victory against the cowboys.they blocked vanderjadts field goal and we made a 40 yarder.

Hail to the Redskins!

Why can't the steelers do anything this year? Jesus Christ we blow :(

Why can't the steelers do anything this year? Jesus Christ we blow :(

Because Cowher keeps playing Ben when he's injured. He shouldn't have even started the last game, what with that concussion and all.

I mean, seriously --- he looked just like Troy Aikman when he would come back from a concussion. Interceptions, fumbles, sacks... Ugh.

Why, Bill, WHY?

However, he has thrown 350 yds this game. I think if he can cotnrol the turn over bullshit he is pulling, then they would be getting some place.

Yeah. I agree with what you said. He doesn't need to play if injured. I mean Charlie Batch was doing rather well there for a while, as a back up QB.

Ok,I pose a question to NS users.What is the best team in the NFL?
Also,could someone please tell me how to make a poll for this?

E A G L E S

they might not look it now...but they are bad ass...i go to every home game,i think they are sandbagging..at the moment,they should be 6 and 1
the last loss was awful..i was there..they were flatter then a 5 year old.

yikes..that was yucky..flatter then kansas

I refuse to concede that. :mad:

Unfortunately it looks like your team has conceded that.

Unfortunately it looks like your team has conceded that.

Unfortunately, indeed... But hey, I like the Pats, too, so it's not a total loss.

Unfortunately it looks like your team has conceded that.

Unfortunatly so :(

Well, fuck me running. The last Steelers play of the game was an interception.

Again, I blame Cowher for playing Ben not two weeks after having a goddamn concussion.

Yeah. I heard that maybe cowher will leave after this year. I like him as a coach, but he is playing Ben stupidly.

The Mets.

Yeah. I heard that maybe cowher will leave after this year. I like him as a coach, but he is playing Ben stupidly.

Yeah. There's just no excuse for what he's putting Ben through.

Remember his Super Bowl performance? He was playing with a fricking broken thumb on his throwing hand! His passes were shoddy, usually missing their intended mark, or fluttering madly.

And people wonder why his rating was in the 20's...

It's obvious, they've been my faveorite team for years: Indy!

Blah. Sports are dumb. If you want to exercise help a farmer. If you want to see men jumping on each other, watch porn (not that I think you should want to see men jumping on each other or be watching porn). That's my opinion. Anyway, continue.

Indy!Manning Chokes at the Playoffs..

Just curious...you're from Cinci, not a Bengals fan? The Pats?

I am from MA so I grew up with the Pats. Just because I moved to Cincy doesn't make me change allegiance. Still, it would be nice if the Bengals could actually win more often. The game against the Ravens today was painful. I'd really love to see my Patriots beat the Bengals in a playoff game. :)


Btw, Go Pats! Kick Manning's ass!

Yeah, the Pats are forever my team. Even when I see Brady occassionally do something as stupid as he just did. He just FLUNG it out there!

See? That's better!

TOUCHDOWN PATRIOTS!!!!!!

Yay!

Not sure if this has been said before, but the poll needs to be revised. Its now the 7-1 Bears :(

Well, fuck me running. The last Steelers play of the game was an interception.

Again, I blame Cowher for playing Ben not two weeks after having a goddamn concussion.

Over 400 passing yards ain't that bad. In fact, its damn good.

congrats Colts fans.. see you at the playoffs :D

Your wish is my command.

Well,I realy cant do that but...

I'm starting an NFL's best player link soon so I will post the link soon.It wont have a poll because there are so many good players but we will see how it goes.

Woot! The NFC East is still open for business...we have a chanve afterall.

I'm starting an NFL's best player link soon so I will post the link soon.It wont have a poll because there are so many good players but we will see how it goes.I want to nominate Tomilson, Vick and Ray Lewis.

Doh! Da Bears lose to Da Dolphins! :( Any given Sunday!
Anyway. Congradulations to former Alabama Crimson Tide defensive end, Mark Anderson for being chosen as the October, NFC: Rookie of the Month!!! (http://www.rolltide.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=37423&SPID=3011&DB_OEM_ID=800&ATCLID=669927) And setting an NFL record with 7.5 sacks in the first 7 games as a rookie :)

Go Bears and Roll Tide Roll!!!:cool:

The Mets.

:fluffle:


I wonder what baseball team would make the best football team...


Anyway, how the fuck does Miami score 31 at Chicago? That makes no sense in any way at all. And Viniterie (sp?) missing two field goals at New England? I thought the whole reason that the Colts got him was that he would be able to kick there. They won anyway, but has he lost his clutchness?

And now the Colts have to be the best in the NFL

Unfortunately it looks like your team has conceded that.No. :( (I still have hope that they'll win the last 8 games in a row and make the playoffs...

...what, they've done it before.

(Yeah, not this time, I know.)

congrats Colts fans.. see you at the playoffs :D

Damn it. Things just didn't go right at all. Patriots beat themselves more than anything. Without those turnovers it would have been an easy win. But noooo.... Combination of screwups and bad luck. Damn it!

At least you lost to a good team, and you know if you play them again in the playoffs, you can beat them.

Silver lining.... I like it. And I do think that the Colts are certainly beatable. Even with the turnovers the Colts still didn't have a sure victory. Brady just has to act like his normal self and I think we know what will happen next time. :)

See? That's better!

TOUCHDOWN PATRIOTS!!!!!!

Every team not named " Eagles " ?

I was really involved with the game. The Pats were annoying me up to that point so I had to express my hapiness. Of course then they ended up losing so that was pretty annoying as well...

To tell you who isn't the best team in football I'll let you guys know that next year is the 50th anniversary of the last time the Lions went to the championship.

Hell, the Pats would really have to fall apart for them not to make the playoffs. They could easily play the Colts again this postseason.

How the hell do you lose 9-3 to the 49ers? This isn't 1984! Back then this would have been forgiveable! Nowadays, 11 of us could get together an impromptu team, wear our street clothes, and play Ironman and still beat Frisco! :headbang:

They'll lose.

You're trying to anger me aren't you? It won't work. My confidence in my team is high. :)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Of all the ways to lose their record!

The last time the Jets beat the Pats was in 2002. That game was the last time the Pats have lost their second conscutive game. There are already some ties between the Jets '06 season and their '02 season. Both years the Jets play the NFC North. Both years they beat Buffalo at Buffalo. Both years they get blown out by Jacksonville. Both years they lose a close game to the Browns. Both years they beat Detroit. Coincidence? I think not. Therefor the only logical conclusion is that the Jets are going to win the super bowl the next 10 years.

'02 was the Pats off year wasn't it? They are not going to do as bad this year, nope. We will have a rematch in the postseason against both the Colts and Broncos and get our revenge.

Very well. :(

Any super bowl picks?

Mine is Colts over the Giants in another Manning Bowl.

Mine is Colts over the Giants in another Manning Bowl.

I doubt the Giants can put together a play-off run. They seem a little too inconsistent. I would guess the Colts get there but lose. I'm not sure about the NFC.

As good as the Colts are, they've been better in years past and choked in the playoffs. The team that Manning has now is not as good, and has more weaknesses, than the team that couldn't beat the number six seed last year. If the Colts and Manning are to win a Super Bowl, they'll have to do it as an underdog, because they've built up such a legacy of being overhyped and collapsing in the playoffs. They'll never be favorites until they win one.

Chicago has been exposed, so it's hard to pick them from the NFC anymore. The Giants are one Tom Coughlin extravaganza away from folding like so many times before. The Saints look solid, especially with two RotY contenders on the offense, but they're the Saints. If Seattle can keep from falling apart while what seems like their entire team returns from injury, they can make the run, but that's only if they don't play themselves out of the playoffs now. Then there's Atlanta, Dallas, Carolina, Philadelphia, Minnesota, and St. Louis, who alternate games looking like Super Bowl contenders and looking like high school JV teams. It's hard to pick the NFC.

Just keep it simple. Pats pull themselves together to come back from Sunday's game to win it all. :)

None, american football sucks.

I don't think the Patriots have done a good job showing they can beat Denver, and if we meet them in the playoffs again I have every inclination that the Broncos will win.

At least we can count out a repeat Steelers' championship.

Mwu-ha-ha!

the Dodgers

I don't think the Patriots have done a good job showing they can beat Denver, and if we meet them in the playoffs again I have every inclination that the Broncos will win.

It seems that when the Pats lose its because that they beat themselves. The game against the Colts would have been a win if they didn't have those turnovers. Denver is tougher then the Colts but if the Patriots play right then I believe they have a chance.

Not too sure of the Best, I did vote for Indianapolis though.

I know the suckiest team.........the Buccccsssssssssss. :headbang:

By far the Buffalo Sabres! They may have not managed to break the record, but they are pretty good this season.:sniper:

It seems the big games this week are Chargers vs Bengals
Redskins vs Eagles
Rams vs Seahawks
Bears s Giants.

My prediction are:

Chargers over Bengals 31-17
Eagles over Redskin 24-21
Seahawks over Rams 14-3
Bears over Giants 27-24

How about your prediction people?

1. Bengals are against the wall, so I look for them to beat the Chargers this week.
2. Eagles over Redskins - Yep, they should win.
3. Seahawks over the Rams - Yawn, sure.
4. Bears over Giants - toss up. I'm more inclined to think the Giants will win this one though. Chicago got exposed and beaten last week by the DOLPHINS.

Jets lead Pats 10-6 late in the third quarter...

Jets Beat Patriots!!!!!

My skins got crushed by the Eagles 27-3.Thought it would be a close game.

It's not fun to gloat when the Patriots fan isn't here...

Now it's time for IDF's Bears to fall to the mighty Jets!

Two strait losses, first time since '02. :D:D:D

Yes, quite depressing. Oh, well. Either they bounce back and end the season in style and have success in the postseason or they don't. Then I'll just have to wait for next year. I won't complain too much, hard to keep going to the playoffs year after year in football anyway. Pats just better not collapse to much, I won't tolerate a losing season. :)

It irks me that the Broncos arnt on the poll ;)

Why do the Dolphins have to wait until now to start winning? Sheesh, the win over the Bears was nice, and beating a 5-3 team is an improvement, but come on...coming from 1-6 is not the way to make the playoffs.

On the other hand, I am reminded again of the 1985 season, assuming it holds up...the Bears went 15-1 and won the Super Bowl. They lost that one game to...the Dolphins. Now granted, in 1985 the Dolphins were worth a damn and actually came within a game of a Super Bowl rematch, but still...it could happen.

They did the exact same thing last year. They lost till they were out of the playoffs then won like 7 in a row to win out the season to insure a crappy draft choice.

And that was the year Reggie Bush was up. Imagine the double threat of Ronnie Brown and Reggie Bush. If only they had an offensive line to effing block for them, the Dolphins would be unbeatable.

Please.

The Jets are one of the most, if not the most overrated team in the NFL, second perhaps only to the Colts.

Why?

Because they are the NEW YORK Jets, and therefore the asshat New York media sucks their flaccid cocks year round.

Look at the Jest history, quite simply they suck.

Even when they had Joe Namath, who is the most overrated player in NFL history, they only won the Super Bowl 'cause they were lucky.

As for this years team, as long as they have Chad pennington as their qb, they are going to suck dick. He can't throw for shit. After two major surgeries on his throwing arm I'm surprised that he's still in the league, let alone a starting qb. But then, this is the Jets we're talking about.

As for the other New York football team, where the fuck did all of this talk about Tiki Barber being a Hall of Famer come from?

Shit, he isn't even the best running back in his division, let alone the conference. His career stats aren't HoF worthy and he wasn't in the Top 10 in terms of being one of the dominating rb's of his era.

Finally, Brett Favre needs to stop being a selfish douche and bench himself. He's doing a disservice not only to the team but also to the fans as well as his back-up/heir apparent Aaron Rogers. The fact that Favre has stated on numerous occasions that he has refused to offer Rogers any help or advice shows what a self centered selfish shitheap Favre is.

The New York sports media bashes the Jets a TON. The New York media has killed basically EVERYONE in Jets history at one point or another, Even Namath. Everyone in New York knows that the Jets have never been good and are not good right now. There was almost no one in the New York media claiming that the Jets would do any better than five wins all season. A lot of people, me included, predicted them to win three games this year. Which is why people are very impressed that they came out of the first half of the season at four and four. And a team that "sucks dick" is going to have a hard time beating the Patriots at Foxboro. I'm not seriously claiming the Jets are great, but they are a solid team right now. I have no idea where you got these ideas.

I honestly don't know much about Tiki Barber, but a few people I know have said that would be a borderline hall of famer if he played out his carreer.

I agree with you on most of your points except for brett farve.Brett may have had a shitty season last ear but this year he is not doing that bad.He is not having the interception problem he had last year and were talking about Brett Farve,one of the most beloved players in NFL history (and most certainly Packers history),who had a great game last week.At the end of the year he should retire and pass the gauntlet but for this old vets sake lets give him one last run.

By far the Buffalo Sabres! They may have not managed to break the record, but they are pretty good this season.:sniper:

Go Leafs.

A couple weeks back I would have said the Bears. But now I think its the San Diego Super Chargers! They have as much offensive firepower as the colts with LT and Rivers, plus they actually have a strong D, unlike the colts. And what makes the better than the Bears? Steady QB play.

Da Bears:

OK, how about Da Bears in da Indy 500?

How will they run it?

Da Bears in a giant bus.

Is Ditka driving?

Of course.

Then I'll take Da Bears.

too bad your QB flip flops more than Kerry in regards to his play.

I felt obligated to vote for the home team, the New Orleans Saints (6-3), though I truly feel it's the Colts! But hey...WE'VE GOT BUSH!!! ;)

Chargers FTW you all fail at life, go cut yourselves

I still think the bears,pound for pound,are the best team.

Chargers look sick, but there defense is shaky. L.T. the 2nd is a beast. Bears are not all that good, barely beat a mediocre Jets team. Grossman isn't a super bowl quarterback. Colts bubble is burst, they are worse than they have ever been in the last three or four years. Cowboys have a good chance to make a run deep, maybe. Vick is still too unpredictable. Eagles are dead now. Dolphins might make a late run.

I'm a Browns fan; I have a hard time believing that any team that the Browns beat are a playoff-caliber team.

It's wrong that I'm somewhat satisfied that the Browns lost a game yesterday vs. the Steelers that they should have won...I shouldn't be satisfied with a 'competitive' team...yet I am. Did I mention that I'm a Browns fan?? :headbang:

Pats needed a comeback win and they got it! Sure, it was only against Green Bay but anything to stop that awful skid...

Now hopefully they can go back to winning! Yay!
