You can relate I remember the patsie days.

Too bad I got a few years of this if not more. No matter how much better Miami gets NE will still dominate for years to come.

The Dolphins have 9 games left including a bye week:

NY Giants
- BYE -
Buffalo
@ Philly
@ Pittsburgh
NY Jets
@ Buffalo
Baltimore
@ New England
Cincinnati

I think they have a legit shot against Buffalo (one of the 2 games), the Jets, and Balitmore.

Upset against Philly, NY Giants and Cincy.

No chance against New England and Pittsburgh.

Best case scenario - 6-10. Realistic - 1-15 (Buffalo).

I guess we know one thing, NE is one play away from being a mediocore team if Brady goes down.

I've been a Chiefs fan for about 20 years now and I'd very happily trade the last 30 years of Chiefs football for the last 30 years of the Pats. Nothing is worse than a mediocre team who's always kind of around the playoffs, but loses in the playoffs and never really shows any hope of every being a championship team. What 20 years and the Chiefs had one AFC Finals appearance where Buffalo absolutely killed them. Who really gives a rip about the 9 playoff appearances in that time, they've all been useless. At least the Flames have occasionally given me something to get excited about.

Same with Me, I'd rather give up Marinos career years and winning seasons in the 90's. Miami was the most wins in the 90's I believe, but come playoff time they were out frist or second game.

Really going out on a limb huh?

Where would any of the elite teams be without their stud - Indy with out Manning, we saw how Pittsburgh was with Big Ben hurting, Cowboys without Romo, Greenbay without Farve?

Without a running game in NE, the loss of Brady would be disasterous, but I dont think any team is really immune from losing their superstar.

I think Saints fans have everyone trumped in terms of playing the self pity card.

I don't care how bad being a Pats fan was, the last 6 years have made up for generations of pain.

I must admit, with a team head and shoulders over everyone else the way NE is, it is taking a little of the interest out of it for me, this all seems like a waste of time until they get to lift the trophy in glendale in February.

Anyone watching Arizona and Washington?

Did Warner and Rattay both get hurt?

They recovered an onside kick and Anquan Boldin is driving them down into field goal range in the dying seconds. Can't watch it...anyone? Anyone?

Wait....appears maybe a fox sports error?

Big ben is over-rated. and Favre can be replaced. Only two guys can't smarty pants and that is Brady and Manning.

No. They drove down the field with Warner. Then Rattay came in (I dont know why - no injury to Warner) and threw a TD to bring Arizona within 2. They used a gadget play where Rattay split out wide and Boldin was taking the snap. They rushed to the right and tried a Boldin to Fitzgerald pass but it was intercepted.

Then they recovered an onside kick and Warner completed a pass or two. Rackers tried a 54-ish yard field goal and it drifted wide left.

In other alarming fantasy news, I dropped Rob Bironas from one of my teams today for Shayne Graham.

Nice.

Displaced Flames fan · 10-21-2007, 02:26 PM

What a comeback by the Texans!

Sage Rosenfels out of Iowa State! 4 TD 3 INT's. Any word on why Shaub is out?

Displaced Flames fan · 10-21-2007, 02:35 PM

Disappointing ending to the Texans/Titans game. Any team that can overcome in 25 point 4th quarter deficit has my support for winning the game!

Booooooooo!

300 lb Albert Haynesworth crushed Schaub late in the first half. He drove Schaub into the ground.

I dont think there's been a better defensive tackle than Haynesworth this season. He's really trying to repair his rep and make people forget about his WWF headstop last season.

Displaced Flames fan · 10-21-2007, 03:24 PM

I put 14 confidence points on Cincinatti being able to beat the lowly Jets at home today.

What a maroon!

Sylvanfan · 10-21-2007, 03:27 PM

I think Marvin Lewis has lost that team and that his days have to be numbered there. Brian Billick too deserves major idiot points and the Ravens really need to look at replacing him after this season too. Two times this year he's pretty much killed his team's chance to pull out a last second win because he thought he could pass for a first down with Kyle Boller on 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1.

Interesting - could we possibly see Lewis replace Billick?

ben voyonsdonc · 10-21-2007, 04:33 PM

Wow...Adrian Peterson is a stud back. He is an absolute beast. Every time I see them hand the ball off to him, I get a sudden sense of dread expecting him to break it for a big run.
