That being said, they're winning the East. Probably sweeping it 6-0 too. I still think they're a super bowl caliber team. We'll be fine I think.

Pats looking good IMO.

Now my team the Bengals, cannot seem to keep players out or jail or stop a running game. So unless they learn to stop the rush and up the D a bit, they will glide by.

Jets, i see them going places this year.

Green bay also

Loving the game right now. I missed you so much NFL

Cinnicatica Bengals

That Tony Romo commercial is fucking hilarious

[Urlithani]

Haha yeah, that was great with Jerry Jones taking away the headset. "Do I have to do everything myself?"

I'm hoping the Dolphins will surprise this year. I am setting my best expectations at 9-7, but I think it will be 7-9. We have the 2nd easiest schedule this year...which doesn't really mean much, as it's based off teams win %'s from last year.

Realistically, the dolphins will be a 6-10 or 5-11 team. No QB, no running game, an old front 7, no standout WRs (doesn't go well with no QB). They need to rework that whole team.

You should probably stop listening to what Bill Simmons says because he said the same thing, and he's not really a very good football expert. He just takes rudimentary stuff and makes it funny.

It won't matter because you have the oldest front seven in the league, you're relying on Trent Green to remain unconcussed, you have the worst receivers in the AFC, you're paying too much dead cap money to Daunte Culpepper and Ricky Williams, and you're in the same division as the Pats and Jets. Take away those problems and you'd be right back in that thing.

Trent Green will be fine. He only had 1 concussion; he's not Troy Aikman. The running game will likely struggle. but not be as bad as most think. They've been calling our defense "old" since 2003. They still finished in the top 5 last year, even with our crummy offense constantly going 3 and out. They called NE's defense old too...then they won 2 more Super Bowls. No standout WR's? People have been bashing the Patriots' WR corps this entire millennium until this year, and they still won 3 SB's during that time. We took a minimal hit on releasing Culpepper. There is ZERO dead cap money from Ricky Williams because of the grievance filed against him for his $8.3 million salary to be returned since he decided he would quit...and then decided to come back.

Oh yeah, we owned the Pats at home in Miami 21-0 last year, even though we finished 6-10. We held Brady to 78 passing yards. How many other teams have done that?

I will give you an outsider's perspective on the Bengals, whom I haven't really followed. Call it a tit-for-tat . Tough conference, a defense that doesn't look any better. I would say 8-8 at worst, 11-5 at best. Without a stellar defense and a lack of playoff experience they won't be making the SB...this year.

Trent Green is fucking awful. He's probably worse than Joey Harrington. He was a complimentary player in KC with Priest there and now you're asking him to be the feature player in a Dolphins offense.

Oh yeah, the 21-0 game..wasn't that the game where you revealed you stole all our calls? I believe it was....Also, congrats on beating us in Miami. You still finished 6-10, had a horrible draft and now you're a year older and even worse.

I'm also not going to defend Harrington. I think he sucks, but I don't think he's as awful as people say he is. Green however, is fucking awful.

So, enjoy trying to steal our calls, enjoy your 5-11 season and finishing last in the AFC East. I think I hate the Dolphins and their fans more than the Jets...Wait, no I don't. It's a tie.

Also, you can bash our receivers all you want. Problem is we have a surefire hall of fame QB who proved last year that he could throw to a group of fucking bag boys from shop rite if necessary. Also, if people keep calling your defense old for 5 years running and you haven't done ANYTHING to get younger, you're going to rely on the years past to get by? Are you fucking serious? You really should of just kept Culpepper. You had nothing to lose by keeping him. I think if he gets a chance to play, he'll be alright in Oakland.

Also, I don't even think the Ricky thing is resolved yet. I'm pretty sure that money is still disputed, but I could be wrong. New England's defense isn't that old. The NFL in general is an old league. Unlike Baseball and Basketball where top young guys are brought in at like 18-23 and play until their late 30s, the NFL young player makes an impact at 22-24 and generally doesn't play past their mid 30s (if they're lucky since the shelf life on most RBs is about 30-32). So for most NFL players when they get out of their rookie contracts and their first team deal are 28-30 and it's their prime. Adalius Thomas was just signed at 30 years old and he's in his prime. Our defense was aging, but we've done some work to get younger. The big step would be signing Samuel. Even if he's not the shutdown guy we all need, he's still a great corner. Besides, the NFL is an offensive league now with all the penalties anyway. Any guy who can cover well enough NOT to get penalized is worth good money in the modern NFL. So that's my paragraph long rant on why most defenses are aging. That being said, the Dolphins defense is terribly aging. The Ravens keep the pieces, but they draft well defensively so even when the main pieces age, they keep it going with draft picks. Next year New England needs to draft a young linebacker out of college. Our LB core is too aging even with the Thomas signing.

As for agreeing or listening to Bill. I disagree with him on Atlanta. I think Atlanta is a 2-14 team and at best a 6-10 team. Personally I feel their better off losing as many games as possible to get a top pick.

First off...

I'm a Colts fan. I want them to go all the way again but I know or atleast I feel that in al likeihood they would have a decent season then get outed in the playoffs by the Pats.


But hot damn this new orleans vs colts is a damn nice game. I sure am tempted to get that direct tv nfl sunday ticket...

33-10 with 10 mins to go.. sigh... itll probaly be 33-17 at the end but still...

I'm not surprised. Their defense was shaky last year and it isn't that much improved. Manning is racking me up fantasy points right now.

[kcxiv]

Saints are getting their shit pushed in. Time to take Manning out. This game is a massacre.

[Moontayle]

NO's offense is stillborn. I mean, Jesus.

[Twobit Whore]

This is what happens when the Saints get picked to do anything positive. They find a way to suck hard. Happened several years back in Haslett's second year. They were picked to go to the Super Bowl and won like 5 games.

Tell them they suck and they will be lucky to win a game, because that's the only way they can win.
