It's just around the corner, so what's everyone's thoughts on this years race to the Super Bowl?
I'll do what I do every year, bid for the Bengals Bungles to actually win games.
I think it'll be a good season this year, as a lot of teams had roster revamps. I see the Eagles, Chargers and Browns all making a run for the playoffs this year. Patriots of course, but I don't know if the Giants would be able to repeat last year's run. The Cowboys should be solid this year, as should the Jags.
I think the key to the Browns is selling Brady Quinn for some talent to surround Derek Anderson with he's a great potential quarter back but I feel like we could benifit more by trading him.

That's like Carson Palmer in Cincinnati. If they'd just get rid of the troublemakers and surround him with talent, the Bengals wouldn't be that bad a team. The defense is what's killed them the past couple years though, and hopefully some of the draft picks will round out that D some.
Palmer's one of the best quarterbacks in the league in my opinion and he is just wasted at Cincinnati until they get him some talent to surround him at the other positons.
as a jets fan i think they will be better they need to start pennington or i still hope it can happen is Get Farve but if pennington is healthy i think we can compete with the patriots this year i think they lost a few key playes and i think they will have that hangover of almost being perfect andi think thats gonna hang over but i see the jets alteast making a wildcard spot this year.
oh and by the way is any one getting madden 09 for ps3 im thinking of making a Casual MXO Fantasy leauge and i would wonder if any one would wanna try it
I'm a Raiders fan. Unfortunately, I think we will still suck this year. Al Davis is the cryptkeeper.
Dont rule them out just yet. They picked up a couple good recievers and a Good CB. If Russell can indeed throw the ball like hes said to. With McFadden adding to the threat. They might just do good.

The jets might be a sleeper. Pennington has potential. He had a bad ankle last year and QB's need ankles to move in the pocket and get set well.
They revamped there OL with some good veterans. Drafted a good TE that has plenty of upside.

i think alot of Favres family is pushing him to go to the jets from what i hear from watching espn today
Im just hoping the 49ers can atleast win more then 5 games this year. New Coach, Lets see what happens. Hopefully alex smith and his O line can make some magic happen.
Well least see here. I believe these teams will advance to the playoffs. To say whos going to the superbowl. RUbbish opinion atm.
Patriots, Dallas, steelers, jacksonville, Giants, Colts, titans, redskins. Probly a few surprises. Im just looking for some good games. Few times out of this season i can come in praising my 9nrs for winning a game
No more then that idiot for the eagles. Hes lucky the defenders didnt pick it up and run it back for TD. IMHO biggest *CENSORED* play ever. Hell that even made Romo's CHOKE look good.

That really was hilarious! ...did you see the clip they showed later of him/Jackson doing the exact same thin in high school? ...hard to believe anyone would do that twice.
It is 2008 in the US of A. How can a referee say "Oh terribly sorry but the equipment isn't working tee hee - decision on the field stands" when there is a jumbotron 100 feet by 100 feet above his head that can show him it was a bad call in a matter of seconds and it should have been an SD ball in that first quarter - thus no TD for the Broncos. And..just to keep on the theme of my rant....it sucks big doo doo that a referee can basically decide who wins and who loses a game because of their over eager 'blow whistle" reflex.
Sure, the Chargers defence wasn't super, but man...talk about bad luck.

It's just more proof refs are obsolete. Honestly officiating should be totally automated from a skybox with a team of trained technicians and full camera vision of the field.
Yeah people can argue it takes away from the integrity of the game and honestly I agree it does in alot of respects but truth be told like you said its 2008 its the NFL they need to get with it.
kinda agree with the no refs. THey always in the dam way. Wel maybe 1 or 2. I mean seriously. Lately i have noticed them getting in the way even more often. being tackled down, or in just in the dam way of the reciever or running back. Man i would be annoyed as hell with em.
As for the Ref on the SD/BRONCOS game. He was down graded. They are all on some kind of grading system. Basically probly wont be in the line up for superbowl or things like that for awhile.
It hasnt just been the Broncos/Chargers game where they were blind and dumb. Many games so far already this season have had some REEALLY bad play calls. I guess the days of the teams playing and winning with actuall skill are done with. Its all on who the refs bet on to win. Seriously some games it has looked tht way. I know dam well the refs can affors eye care so it can be their eyesight.
And on a side note.. The vikings benched Jackson in favor of Frerotte. I dont think its a QB issue but what i said from day one. Childress has to go. Cant expect the qb;s to win when you try to protect them by not letting them be aggressive.
Yea. agreed there with the refs. Not to Ish talk the cowboys. But Dayum there was alot of face mask to westbrook there. About 3 even the announcers pointing em out. But Eagles doing some stuff too that the refs didnt call.
The Dolphins kicking the Patriots all over the field, the Bengals(they looked pretty solid in a loosing effort this week) playing with and staying with the defending Super Bowl champions, Giants. A lot of upsets and a lot of fun games to watch this weekend. I was glued to the TV for most Sunday, watching the football games, hehe. Dallas and Green Bay was a good game to watch too, and Dallas winning at Lambeau is quite a feat.
I watched the Steelers vs Eagles game - how many sacks? heh
Man, if the Chargers don't win tonight I shall go ask for a refund ;p
Well, if you're gonna beat the raiders, then letting them think they are gonna win for 3 quarters is the way to do it imo ;p
You know how you teach a Raiders baby how to count?
Oh and One.
Oh and Two.
Oh and Three.
Tee hee.
LOL! OWNAGE.
Brewko is a Raiders fan...
uhoh nice nowing ya mave lol hopefully the jets can get another good game next week and the titans can go 4-0
Yesterday some of the GM's that work on the games I look after came for a BBQ to watch the game. Every one of them except Brewko is a Chargers Fan - oh one Cowboy fan but he doesn't count hehe. Brewko had a great time with his Raiders cap on...at least for 3/4 of the game anyway....
Gosh @ last week. But, here's a bit of cool news - I am the Fan of the Week in the Game Day Progamme - Chargers vs Patriots this Sunday so they gotta win hehe.
The Bears game was truly fantastic, unless you're a Bears fan I'm guessing ;p When the Chargers lost to the Panthers in the last few seconds, a Bears fan here sent me some nice text messages - those were returned Sunday
Great game at Qualcomm Sunday night and Monday night football was fantastic! Great job from the Browns! (Sorry NYG fans, but it was a great game for a neutral!)
Well here are my picks as im seeing now since its mid season im saying Titans/Jets in the AFC Championship and Giants Packers Remactch in the NFC Championship and Then Giants Titans in the SuperBowl Titans Winning
my Mid seasons Rewards
Rookie of the Year Chris Johnson Titans he has surprised me i kinda laughed when the titans picked him in the top 10 but they thought this kid would do very well and he certantly has won the Titans a few games this year
AFC MVP this is a toss up between i think for me Brett Favre or Kerry Kollins with Kollins not been playing id say the titans would easly be just over 500 if young was playing and Favre Has basicly lead the Jets to First place in the AFC East and i think He can keep The Jets on top and win the AFC east this year
and NFC MVP i would have to say is Eli Manning he's continuing to lead the Giants ontop of the NFC and i think he will take the Giants again to the superbowl.
Coach of the year i think if the Titans go to the playoffs/superbow has to be fisher listing to the sportstations down here everyone last year from midseason on wanted him gone and now that he's the coach of the top team in the NFL id say he's done a great job of turning this team around from what they were last year.
Rookie of the year could very well be Johnson, hes done awesome but dont forget QB Ryan from atlanta. AS well as Coach Smith from ATL as potentail Coach of the year. Atlanta is actually in the race this year with a rookie coach and Qb.
As far as coach of the year it could be Fisher but Zorn from Washington is right in the thick of it. He has really turned them around.
NFC mvp I think you hit on the head I dont see anyone else standing out. But I do think its funny Eli is outshining his "superstar" brother.

good choices too id also have to put in there Kurt Warner he's done a pretty good job this year he's had sevral mutliple 200+ yards and 2+ touchdowns games i should know this guy has help win me a few Games with my Fantasy team
I got fubar'd in both my fantasy leagues. Schaub/Orton are out for who knows how long. If they do come back it will be when fantasy football is wrapping up. so now I have Quinn/Rosenfals in one and Favre/Flaco inanother.
And i really hate people that hoard players so others cant get them. one guy in my leaguye has 3 qbs 5wrs with the injuries this year that makes it hard to get replacements of quality
Still gonna be tough for you guys geting the wildcard spot but Titans are 10-0 i didnt think they had a chance to come back from yesterdays game but they did and next week is gonna be tough my two fav teams are gonna be playing each other Titans VS jets, but im probally gonna be going for my home team id really love to see the Jets and Favre win the afc east this year n make the playoffs
<./img>
lol hopefully the jets can get another good game next week and the titans can go 4-0
That's what i think!
