skittishkitten · 24-09-2003 12:45am

Super Bowl is a long way off ......not until Jan .... to many things can happen . We're just now getting to see how good the teams are this season . My pick for .....lets say ....top five that I HOPE do well ......

Green Bay Packers
Jacksonville Jaguars ( ok stop laughing )
Tennessee Titans
San Francisco 49er's
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Do want to keep an eye on the Bronco's see if "The Q" ( Quentin Griffith ) OU's star runningback plays as good professional as he did college !

tHE vAGGABOND · 24-09-2003 9:51am

I dont have sky, I have a different cable provider here in London, so I dont get Sky Sports Extra.

So I have been watching college football on NASN

Mossy Monk · 24-09-2003 4:02pm

don't one of the regular Sky Sports channels repeat the NFL games on the following day

gerire · 24-09-2003 4:51pm

Yeah, I have NTL digital so no SkySports Extra so i have to spend all of monday afternoon watching it instead.

The Philadelphia Eagles at 16-1 are a fantastic bet
My NY Jets have already f'ed up 0-3 so far.

Outside the eagles you have to look back to the Chiefs and the Bucs for a winner.

Remember you heard it here first, Eagles as the outsiders to shock

Are you kidding? The Eagles are terrible this year... they'll be lucky to get out of their division! Giants are at least as good as last year (when they feel like it) and the Redskins are coming on strong. If Eagles can beat the Bills this weekend then you can start talking good about them again.

The preceeding statement was said as a terribly biased Giants fan who hates no team more than the Eagles.

With that said, I think the Chiefs and Bucs will play for the Super Bowl. Though I hate the Bucs too.

Hairy Homer · 26-09-2003 1:51pm

No. (you did ask)

Life is way too short.

Besides if you want a game which comprises an interminable series of set-piece plays,
whose nuances are unintelligible to the lay person,
that lends itself to reams and reams of crushingly trivial statistics,
that goes on far too long
and that requires its participants to dress up in body armour before they can venture on to the field..........

.....we already have cricket.

Stake · 26-09-2003 10:46pm

3 weeks ago nobody would have been talking about an “Eagles team to shock”. This is a side that has played in the last couple of conference championship games and came within one score of toppling the seemingly unstoppable Rams two years ago. How quickly things change…
That’s what a new stadium will do for you too. Outside the Vet this year the Eagles won’t be such an intimidating road trip.
The window of opportunity is closed now for the Eagles. If they are to progress, and it won’t be this year, they need a number one guy at wide receiver, Pinkston and Thrash won’t do, and a secondary that needs to find its feed again. In fairness I think Andy Reid should hold up his hands and say “look I’ve taken them as far as I could”, and step down. Personally I’m delighted that Philadelphia are on the slide. They’ve always annoyed me. The fans are certainly too quick to start booing too.
The NFC East is pretty poor I think, frood4ft. The Redskins and the Cowboys are a mile back, with the Redskins been a little better prepared then Dallas. But trust me, they’re gonna get found out this year. Spurrier has made some improvements, but not substantial ones. The Giants are the Giants. They won’t be going to the superbowl, they just don’t have that x factor. But come playoff time they’ll be knocking on the door. They will probably win a very weak NFC East.

The Chiefs are getting a lot of press and a lot of that is down to Priest Holmes. I’m not convinced. Around this time last year everyone seemed to be talking about Scottenheimers Chargers and their running game with Tomlinson. Lets see where they are come playoff time.

Me picks are either Denver or the Colts. Denver look like they’ve solved the running game with Portis in the backfield and Plummer, while he’s no John Elway, is very solid and a much better choice than Buerlien. Their Defence always looks good too and Mobley is still one of the best outside linebackers in the league.
As I said, Indy also look strong. Tony Dungy doesn’t have teams with a bad defence. Just look at what HE, not Gruden, built on that side of the ball at Tampa Bay. Manning is a great quarterback and always catches the eye. He’s a winner. I remember last year they were getting the floor wiped with them in the playoffs, 30 something to nil. Manning kept going right until the end trying to get a score for his offense. He kept his head up and kept persevering even though he was well and truely hammered. I think he threw a couple more picks whilst looking for the score but he’s not a guy who is worried about any stat apart from the score.

So I’m going for Denver or the Colts. With a slight leaning towards the Broncos and Mike Shanahan to get superbowl number 3.

And after all that I’ll just add, Go Bears!!!!

spooiirt!! · 27-09-2003 7:51pm

i think its gonna be bucs or chiefs who will win the superbowl.
i doubt it will be my beloved rams,(sigh)

Stake · 27-09-2003 9:47pm

Another Chiefs beliver! AAHHH!!!!

At St. Louis, if Martz commits to Bulger and quits messing around with Warner, they could still have a say, I think. The catastrophe against Seattle a couple of weeks back has proven once and for all that Warner is no longer the man to lead that offense.

Billy Turdhed · 27-09-2003 10:05pm

Whoooooaaa... A few geezers who know the NFL...great
I had high hopes for the Pack but they are poor... Watch the Bills and Bledsoe in Afc and in the Nfc... ...jaysus ..Nothing much there especially NFC North.... It will take at least 4 more weeks to sort things out...KC also look good unless P Holmes gets a hit.
All I expect from the Pack is an 8-8 season .. and that will be lucky

WPT

Stake · 28-09-2003 4:54pm

Don't know about the Bills. They could squeak into the playoffs but I don't see them threatening beyond that. Bledsoe is Bledsoe and Henry is a decent running back. They should never have let Peerless Price go though. Him and Moulds made an impressive duo at wide receiver. Still, Milloy was a great signing. His experience will help. So, I supppose, who knows?

You're a Pack fan, eh? I think the vikings look the best in the NFC North. Regardless of Mariucci, the Lionsa re a country mile off. The Bears have the worst D in the league apart from Arizona, and the Packers have nothing decent for a below par Favre to throw too. Speaking of which, there will be no smiles in Cheeseland when your lot come to Soldier Field on Monday night! The Bears are about to start growling again! Well, probably not.... But I can dream!

frood4t2 · 28-09-2003 11:18pm

Stake, it appears that the Chiefs have a great X-factor in Dante Hall, their kick returner. They squeaked it out today against Baltimore, but at 4-0 they keep looking like the Rams that Vermeil used to coach before coaching for the Chiefs.

Eagles might have found their old form against the Bills today, which will make the NFC East interesting as they play all of their divisional rivals in the next three weeks. The NFC East, by the way, went 3-0 this week versus the AFC East. That was nice.

Ahh the week was boring anyway cuz the Giants didn't play.

Bring on the Dolphins next week...

spooiirt!! · 29-09-2003 12:21pm

what do u all think of the ravens chances. theyve got a good d and jamal lewis is excellent.

Billy Turdhed · 29-09-2003 8:19pm

:eek: In reply to Stake...yes Im a Pack fan... Thought they would do much better this yr... Must win against the Bears in Soldier Field tonight otherwise its the basement for them

Their recent rec. vs the Bears is good but with the "New Soldier Field " opening tonite maybe Bears will rise to the occasion

Oswald Osbourne · 05-10-2003 12:10am

Hi! I'm new to this sport and it's a little off topic but I've a few general questions about the NFL scheduling system that I hoped someone here might be able to explain to me.

1) How come if there is 32 teams in the competition that each side only plays 17 games during the group/division stages?

2) How come in the group/division stage teams can end up playing each other twice or once or even not at all?

3) What is the point of having 'groups/division' in the first place when teams seem to randomly just playing anybody from all different divisions? I mean (as a result of that) who's to say the team that comes 2nd in the AFC East for example didn't just end up in that placing because they had gotten drawn against a tougher array of teams than the side who came first?

Please show me there is some logic to the way these matches are decided upon ..... because I've stared at it for a while and I can't see any method to it

frood4t2 · 05-10-2003 5:52am

You're right, Oswald, the schedule is confusing, but I'll try and help.

32 teams play 16 games each:

2 games against each division opponent (8 divisions, 4 teams each.) Which makes 6.
1 game against each team from a division in their conference. Which makes 10.
1 game against each team from a division in the other conference. Which makes 14.
1 game against two other teams from their conference. These last two opponents are selected based on the teams' records from the last season, so as to match these teams somewhat evenly. Which makes 16!

The four teams in a division usually wind up playing the same opponents for at least 14 of the games, which does make the divisions fair.

They don't play more than 16 games a season because playing in summer is too hot (A player on the Minnesota Vikings died of heatstroke a couple years ago in training camp) and in the winter the weather can get harsh in some northern cities. Playoff games have been played during blizzards, however.

Hope this helps. Go Giants!

Oswald Osbourne · 05-10-2003 10:12am

Thanks for that! Crazy system but at least there's SOME method to it.

Billy Turdhed · 05-10-2003 8:05pm

Whoooaaa... Thats the way to do it!

At last the Packers play football against Seattle

A good feed of No.30 and away she goes....!

I'd be a little worried about the "D"

William Henderson... unsung hero

frood4t2 · 06-10-2003 7:44pm

Giants were lousy yesterday. They let the Dolphins have their way with them the entire second half! I am very disappointed but hoping that the Giants will bring their game to the Pats next week.

Oh, and Dante Hall is the most important player in the NFL right now. He's won two games for the Chiefs with his returns... he's just freakish.

Billy Turdhed · 06-10-2003 10:00pm

Bollix!

The chiefs are playin the pack next week....cringe!

Come on Priest ....We're ready... maybe!

Bill T

Stake · 11-10-2003 10:42pm

Haven't been here for a couple of weeks. At that time I said it was going to be between two AFC teams, the Colts and the Broncos (I stand by that), and I also dismissed the Chiefs (I'll have two slices of humble pie please.).

Things have been shaping up nicely in the NFL. Last weekends battle at Arrowhead between the Chiefs and Broncos could be a watershed game for the Season. The Broncos looked good enough, the Chiefs that bit extra from somewhere and pulled it off. Remind anyone of another Vermeil team? "The Greaest Show on Turf", anyone? The Chiefs are contenders. I was wrong. It's only Week 6 and I'm already eating my hat. I love this game...

So what of my other picks, the Broncos and the Colts? The Broncos will be fine. A 1 point defeat to Hall and the Chiefs does not a disaster make. They'll bounce back this weekend, anybody can score on Pittsburgh this year it seems. If Tim Couch is rushing against them effectively, Portis will tear that Steelers defensive line apart. That's going to be interesting to watch.

And the Colts? I was never so sad that I can't see Monday Night Football in this part of the world as I was last Tuesady morning when I read the match report. Wow. So, now the question for all you football fans out there, was tha simlpy the greatest comeback in NFL history or did the Bucs just cave? Either way, Manning and Co. are contenders.

The Packers seem to be getting a lot of talk on this board. I still dismiss their superbowl chances, as I do pretty much everybody in the NFC, but they took an 0 last week from Seattle and they won't have any fear of Kansas City coming up to an icy Lambeau. Will Hall be a factor? You can never say never, but the Pack have only yielded on average 4.4 yards per punt return, the lowest in the league. Couple that with a 3rd lowest rating on kickoff returns at 19.0 yards and the fact that their special team has yet to concede a TD this season, they may well be the unit to quieten down Mr. Hall. Denver should have done it last week. Green Bay will do it this week. Kansas City will be parted with their 0.

What off the other unbeaten teams and this weekend? The Colts and the Panthers will be a hell of a matchup. Both the NFC South and AFC Soutrh teams are unbeaten and meet in Indy. The Panthers are one of those sides who have worked really hard for their success. Last season theyw ere extremely dogged but kept losing tight games withing the final few plays. i believe there weres omething like a string of 5 games were Carolina just came up short in the final few seconds last season. The addition of Stephen Davis has given thier offense more bite and they are now scoring much more freely. Despte all that, home field advantage and possesion of the hottest QB in the league should steer Indy home to 6 and 0.

It's the Vikings week off and I'm sure they're delighted to get it. Will they stick with Ferrotte or go back with Culpepper when he's fit again? That's going to be fascinating.

And finally, a special note for my beloved Bears who are up and growling again! A stunning comeback last week against the Raiders will put some fire back into Chi bellies and hopefully the pride will start to stir again consistently. A tough trip to New Orleans this weekend where they face a formidible offense with one of the best rushing games around and a passing game with the likes of Joe Horn involved. Chicago to get to 2 and 3 though. You heard it here first. Don't feed the Bears.
Perhaps a little premature considering it's one victory, but what the hell!

Stake · 18-10-2003 5:31pm

So I tipped the Colts to win last week. Nope. Not this time.
And then I assured everyone that the Packers would take the Chiefs 0. Should have, but no.
So maybe I'll just shut up... Oh and the Bears lost too. Marvellous.

On the plus side we had two terrific games of football shown on Sky last weekend. And I've got high hopes for the Titans-Panthers clash this Sunday.

But no predictions this week....

Goblin_insane · 24-10-2003 11:18am

Well the bears suck I mean what did we think in buying stewart the guy is like an extra plaer for the oppostion grrrrrrrr..... Bears need some drastic changes made to go from one of the best defesive teams in 2001/2002 season to now being luck if we don't concede 40points a game.
Also the chiefs are a flash in the pan I'd watch tenessee.

DayBreakBoys · 31-10-2003 2:59pm

I live near Notre Dame, Indiana. As a die hard Fighting Irish football team i've had to start watching other teams since my dear Notre Dame is 2-5 so far this year. (Though they do play Florida State at home on All Saints Day, luck of the Irish?). Also the Bears are horrible. So GO COLTS! Marvin Harrison and Peyton Manning are the hottest combination since fish and chips.

Stake · 02-11-2003 1:14pm

The Bears are dreadful, no doubt about it. You have to feel sorry for guys like Urlacher and Brown stuck on that defensive unit.
I'm not so sure Stewart is all that bad though, goblin insane. He's not playing particualrly well, for sure. But he's also getting all the blame for a team that is just not clicking. He's no superman, but he's a good player who is trying his heart out with little or no pass protection, receivers that can't beat coverage and a running game that seems to only produce when the no.1 running back is out injured. Stewart is a decent fooballer. I'd bet Steelers fans wouldn't mind having him back in Pittsburgh taking the snaps around about now.

DayBreakBoys: We get to see the Colts on TV this side of the Atlantic tonight. And we seen them last week against the Texans too. For a Dungy team, there defense is slightly suspect, don't you think? It seems like if you run right at them, they don't know what to do.
Their running game doesn't have good numbers either, but with James back playing now you'd expect that to change. There's little doubt about how good that passing offense is though.
Definitely a good game in store tonight between the Dolphins and Colts. Old divisional rivals and passions will hopefully be high. I think it's going to be a Miami win, purely because I think Ricky Williams is going to be able to eat up some serious clock time as well as put up big yards and points. Wouldn't be shocked if I was wrong though.

Billy Turdhed · 02-11-2003 6:40pm

how do you think the Queens packers game will go?

Stake · 02-11-2003 8:52pm

This Indy game looks to bed one and dusted. And once again, it looks like my prediction will be wrong. And you want my opinion on the Packers-Minnesota game?! Hmm...

The Vikings defense can be breached. they gave up over 450 yards last week gainst a Giants offense that is far from dynamic. They're to mistake prone and there is no way that they are good enough to be a 6 and 1 team.
Having said that, they'll win tonight. Brett Favre doesn't have a good record playing in dome stadiums and that will weigh heavily on his mind. Plus you have to consider a Vikings secondary that is in good from regarding forcing turnovers. Favre may just try and press the issue a little too early and toss a couple of big interceptions. Plus, who is going to hold Moss? Diggs? Nope. Barnett may help shut down the running game of Bennett but it won't be enough.
A Vikings win by ten points, with Favre throwing 4 interceptions is my tip.

So that's going to be a Green Bay win for sure....

Davey Devil · 02-11-2003 9:06pm

Tampaare doing crap so far lost to a mediocre packers tem last sunday,they could be gone for the year now although their coach is certain that they aill bounce back and get through to the play-offs.I think the only way they might get through now would be a wild card.

Cinncinati are looking good,beat Kansas stopped their undefeated start to the season.

I'd back the Titans for a place in the superbowl although its a long way off.McNair is a solid QB.Theie game on sunday was the first in seven that they did'nt score thirty points

Billy Turdhed · 24-11-2003 6:34pm

Davey ..you have more money than sense!

I say that as a diehard Packer fan.Packers are a good team...just a few fumbles short of a .900 team.
However their defense not up to it this year......not making enough interceptions,sacks,pressuring the play,and playing hard smash mouth ball.
I feel they will do VERY well to make the playoffs and will have to play away even if they do.
I will be the first man to set up a pint in any pub in Dublin for yu if they win!

Billy Turdhed.......Ps 40-to 1 is worth a Euro or two.. now that I think of it

Davey Devil · 26-11-2003 8:09pm

Gone down to 25-1 now, so you might not fancy them anymore. It's a long shot I know but hey I believe in the Packers. You can do it!!!!!

Thanx 4 The Fish · 26-11-2003 8:21pm

Jaguars are having a bad run it. They are the big game on Sunday night - Espn. They are the 2 and 9 team that nobody wants to play and I can see why. The last 4 games they could have wone asily but Leftwich has made some bad decisions and a couple of vital turnovers in them. Fred Taylor had the game of his life at RB aswell making about 120 yards rushing evenm though he is still not recovered from a very bad knee injury. Possibly a new starting QB on Sunday may revitalise the team.
Tampa Bay are world champions but they are 5 and 6 so no great shakes either. Hopefully the Jags can pull this off and I am saying they'll take it by 7.

Hopefully will make the game, I don't think that it is on tv though, at least not in Ire.

Stake · 30-11-2003 1:52pm

I'm a Bears fan so I don't suppose I can say anything... Although, on the other hand we had that big win last week so I might as well shoot my mouth off...

The jaguars? Seriously, what attracted you to supporting them? They're dreadful. Leftwich may one day develop into a decent player, but that's going to take a lot of time. Stroud seems to making things happen on the defensive side of the ball and I've great time for Douglas there as well.In general though there are too many weak players in too many positions.Del Rio may have the makings of a good coach but he's going to need a lot more good players to work with then he ahs right now.They've got a solid enough defense it seems at times and then they go and give up a 94 yards winning drive just when it mattered last week at the jets. Holding NYJ to 13 points is a good performance. Not being able to stop them when it mattered is the all important stat though.The Jags are years off. Too many losing seasons has set the rot in.

Anybody see the Florida State V Florida game on NASN last night? Talk about football!

End of regular season predictions.... Please, join in if you feel so obliged.

AFC

AFC East: New England Patriots
AFC North: Cincinnati Bengals
AFC South: Tennessee Titans
AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs

AFC Wildcards: Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins.

NFC

NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles
NFC North: Green Bay Packers
NFC South: Carolina Panthers
NFC West: St. Louis Rams

NFC Wildacards: Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings

At the start of the Season I tipped either Denver or the Colts to come out of the AFC and win the superbowl. Now I have one of those picks down to a wildcard lot and anotherbeen pipped by the Dolphins into a wildcard spot. Such is football. Been asked to pick now, I'd probbaly say i think the Titans will win it but the way New England keep finding ways to win is ominous.
From the NFC I think only Philadelphia and maybe Seattle, on a shock, are equipped to win it. I would have been tempted to say you can never rule out Favre when he has such good running game to rely on but then last thursday night and the Lions happened.

Go for an Eagles-Titans superbowl.

Well done Thanx 4 The Fish and the Jags! What a result!

Kmart 6: Why can't the eagles get there? Look around the NFC. There isn't much on offer at the moment. Good to very good teams all seem to be located in the AFC at the minute.
I dislike the Eagles and their boo boy following and was delighted to see them faltering somewhat earlier on in the season. But that spell is over and that team is starting to move again at just the right time. Momentum is a word anyone who follows NFL will hear over and over again in the weeks approaching the playoffs. The Eagles aren't as good as they can be right now, but they're getting better. Two very important ingredients. I fancy them to beat Dallas on Sunday and close out that division.

Having said that I think it's going to be between the Titans and The Patriots for the winning of the AFC and then the Superbowl. The Titans defeat last Monday night shocked me, but I'd fancy them to bounce back next Sunday and win what should be another amazing encounter against the Colts. I like this Titans team. Always have. They never look for excuses and lord knows that with Mcnair, Georges etc... injury list they could.

Anybody off the wall crazy and think that maybe the Bears will win all remaining games, that everyone in the NFC north will combust, and Chicago will sneak into the Playoffs?... thought not... Poor old Chicago. I think we've just left it a bit late this year. When I look back at all the games thrown away in the last minute this year it really pisses me off. Chicago shuld have a realistic shot at the playoffs instead of waiting for next year. They've only got themselves to blame though, and I hope they know that. Hopefully Jauron will just leave Kordell as starter next season. The talent is there in that team to go 13 and 3 again. I'm sure of it.

THEY LOSE

Stake · 06-12-2003 9:21pm

Who are these better teams in the NFC though? I don't fancy them to win the superbowl. But I think they've a good shot at getting there.
Seattle could win the NFC ahead of the eagles. If they have a few very good days. After that it doesn't look so good.
It's probably a year too early for Carolina, plus Philadelphia already beat them in their own back yard.
St. Louis is a maybe. hard to tell with them really. The've had some good wins but not against quality opposition and their defence doesn't look like what it used to be. Bulger is still really only a rookie QB and if you get in his face you sorely disrupt his rhythm. Philadelphia would love a crack at getting some revenge on this relatively weak Rams side too. Big motivation factor in this one.
Green Bay is another big maybe. If the running game doesn't click they don't have the receivers to go and retrieve a pass, or the game for that matter, anymore. Plus, Philadelphia already showed they could beat them this season. And that was in Lambeau at that.
Minnesota don't have a hope in hell. They'll probably sneak in if Dallas don't. They've lost 5 out of 6 at this time of year. Forget about them.
If Dallas get in they could give Philly a decent game, but i don't think they'd have a hope in hell of beating them in a playoff situation.

The Eagles have been to the past two NFC Championship games. They're on the verge of winning their division for at least the 3rd year running. Possibly more. Memory fails me. They are not a bad team.

I don't think they'd beat the Patriots or the Titans. Or in fact a couple more AFC teams. But AFC teams won't be playing Philadelphia before the superbowl. Those teams I listed above will. Pick a sure fire tip out of those to beat the Eagles. It's not easy.

Anyone watchin the N.F.L.
