NFL 06 Options

[Shahin]

Wellllllllllllllllllll here we go again! It's coming up on NFL season soon and the exhibition games are starting soon. What are are your predictions for this season? Your favorite players? Your views are certain teams this year?

I'm not much of an Oakland fan, but the Raider pass offense is looking pretty hot this year with Jerry Porter and Randy Moss partnered together.

The Steelers are looking pretty good this year as well, adding Heath Miller as a tight end who will probably be starting this year.

It's looking like a great year for football with all the teams flushed with new talent, Mike Williams, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, Braylon Edwards, Heath Miller, Reggie White, JJ Arrington. Man, I can't wait for the season to start.

ah i cannot wait either. im in love with football, and with hockey gone last season it was all i had to keep me going :p. im from right outside of philly.. so of course im a true eagles fan thru and thru. i think our team is really good again this year- hopefully TO and westbrook will wise up and just sign their contracts already. im really excited to see sean andrews play, he was really highly rated last year and then he got injured in a pre-season game. also im excited to see how much teams have changed or stayed the same from last season- which teams will be our biggest competition. SO PSYCHED!

edit-
oh and definitely superbowl for the eagles again.. this year hopefully with a victory!!!!!

The Eagles are looking pretty good this season, especially with the signing of Reggie Brown. That WR is lookin hot. But we might well see New England hoisting up the Lombardi again this season, even with their depleted defense.

Oh, this is definately the year for the Eagles!

TO had a great season last year, it was a shame he had to injure his ankle late in the season. He had 77 receptions for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns before the injury. That's like amazing..


-- I'm also kinda excited to see what the Colts are gonna do this year.
-- I wonder how the Patriots will do this year also.. Ahh, I can't waittt!


None-the-less, this year should be awesome.

[Shahin]

*Sigh* The Patriots have now lost both of their starting inside linebackers. That's a damn shame.

ok, i know the browns won't be winnng any super bowls any time soon, but what's with everyone picking them to be the worst team in football this year, I thought they made a lot of improvemants, any one else have anything interesting to add?

Hm, I've never really liked the Browns, but they are by no means the NFL's worst. They are pretty far down there, though. They've recently signed Braylon Edwards to a five-year deal (worth 40million$$$), who was the 2005 draft's most highly rated reciever. He should make an immediate impact if their QB Trent Dilfer (one of my most hated, by the way) can actually connect with him. Their defense isn't great but it isn't bad, more mediocre than average. Their offensive line is alright (it sure beats Miami) and their running backs are average. I think this team will be getting stronger with each passing year, especially since they signed Charlie Frye as a long-term QB project.

[gotahemmi55]

wow, someone who is actually knowledgable in football, I look forward to many in depth convos in the sports forum!!

Well, since you seem to know so much, why did the browns get the 3rd draft pick this season? They had the exact same record as Miami, Miami beat them, and Miami beat the super bown champion New England Patriots. Does this not make sense to you? (I'm not bitching, because I'm VERY happy with our draft pick,it's just something that no one has been able to answer so far)

[Shahin]

Well, after about an hour of looking up last years Browns and Dolphins statistics, my conclusion is: although Miami beat them, along with New England, Cleveland still seems to have better statistics. I wouldn't be irked about it though, Miami chose Ronnie Brown who as far as I know, still has not signed with them. He probably won't be a starter straight off the bat anyway. Ricky Williams', Miami's premiere Running Back, has also just returned, and although he is suspended from the first 4 regular season games, he should still be in good enough shape to compete for the starting position (even though he rushed for just 8 yards with 4 carries in the Hall of Fame Game against Chicago).

If Trent Dilfer can improve his accuracy and arm strength, with Braylon Edwards as a deep threat, Cleveland should have a relatively improved year. I'd say Cleveland will get around a 7-9 record this year, but like I said previously, this team is just going to keep improving.

And yeah, finally someone who is interested in discussing football (consistently at least)!

[gotahemmi55]

yes, he replies quickly! I figured it was something stupid about tiebreakers that would give the browns the edge, it's still dumb, haha.

anyways, I think the Dolphins will be the most improved team of 2005 by far. I fully expect them to be the San Diego Chargers of last year, they have all the weapons except a consistant quarterback, hopefully Brian Griese changed that. Anyways, with Ronnie Brown AND Ricky Williams in the mix when they didn't have ANY running backs last year, plus a healthy and hopefully drug free David Boston, the dolphins have a great shot at a winning record for sure.

That's parity in the NFL for ya, consistant losing seasons is hard to do unless your city name starts with a Cinci or ends in a -nnatti

[miss barnes]

ohh i LOVE cadillac!!! sorry i just had to say that

[*xcaitlinx*]

ill be watching the raiders because LAMONT JORDAN <333 is their running back. how could you not mention him?

and of course, my new york jets will win the superbowl this year. pennington, martin, mccareins, COLES (from redskins), and LAW (from patriots). we shall dominate.

[Shahin]

We all love Cadillac...we all do.

I'm not sure about Miami getting a winning record this year, because their offensive line is still...poo. It's probably the worst line in the NFL at the moment and won't give their elite running backs the gaps needed to run their routes. And neither of those running backs have great catching ability. Brown is OK.

Kansas City on the other hand...KC has the best offensive line in the business which gives their Priest Holmes great running lanes to operate with. This is partly the reason Holmes has had such success in his career, since he has a relatively small body, without the excellent line the KC posesses, you would see a far worse record :D.

Has anyone heard of Adrian McPherson? He got drafted by New Orleans and he looks like he'll be an elite QB, but he's still 3rd or 2nd string. Why?! WHY?!

[KrunkMuzik]

Well....New season. And the team Im looking forward to see play this year is my Eagles. So close last season. Mission accomplish this season. T.O. and McNabb are gonna have to set their differences aside. One goal only, the Super Bowl. Im not much of a person who goes into detail, so Im just gonna end it here. Go Eagles!

PS. BUT, Im also staying loyal to my city.....so Go Bears!

[*xcaitlinx*]

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

pwnage.

[gotahemmi55]

The Patriots won the season opener last night, which is expected, lets hope for a surprising and incredible new football season!!!!!!!

bo brownies, beat those stinking bungels

[Shahin]

So, the Patriots stomped the raiders 20/30. It was a game that surprisingly went according to plan. The raiders had an initial spark with them scoring a touchdown on the first drive, but in the end, their pass defense couldn't cope. They made significant improvements in their run defense though, keeping Corey Dillion to something like 70 yards the whole game. more later

[KrunkMuzik]

So, the Patriots stomped the raiders 20/30.

So, the Chargers stomped the Patriots 41/17... . Thank god!
Anyways, My beloved EAGLES came-back to win a game in which they were down by as much as 18 pnts. Came back to win it 37/31, That's my EAGLES!

Game of Week 5: Falcons VS. Patriots

Tedy Bruschi may be coming back. DamN! That'd revive their defense like wow.

Game of week 5 is definitely chargers vs steelers.

[Teesa]

Alright, here it is:
Go Patriots.

But most of all, go BRONCOS!

The broncos!?

I agree, Chargers vs Steelers = game of the week.

Patriots are all banged up and they are most likely going to lose. There defense is shambly and Atlanta has the leagues number 1 rush offense. Over.

[Teesa]

Haha, I live in Colorado..so yeah. There's always a chance!

[Shahin]

Haha, I live in Colorado..so yeah. There's always a chance!

Theres never a chance for the broncos...NEVER! Jus playin. Really don't like Jake Plummer though.

[*xcaitlinx*]

i'm still rooting for my new york jets even though they have a slim chance of winning =(

edit // YAY! jets beat the bucs 14-12. TAKE THAT! hahaha vinny<3
