NFL Preseason Thread *Predictions/Discussions*

[Plow]

the only ranked team out of any of them was Oregon State, Arizona was easily as good as FSU, and @UCLA is easily as hard of a game as @cocks (it had to be said eventually!)

[Akiyama]

UCLA was not that great. Arizona wasn't as good as FSU in my opinion. FSU's defense was pretty decent, but their offense was a huge problem. Oregon State may have been ranked, but it didn't really matter last season when almost everyone lost games and made the rankings a big mess.

Sorry, but if he doesn't come to the boards, how can you get him via PM here? He's on my AIM, but hardly comes on. I'll get ahold of him sometime. We don't have to worry about a league yet though, we still have a good month-5 weeks to go.

I posted about Tyr a long way back but it probably got lost in all the arguing. I talked to him the other day and he seemed as stoked for the NFL season as ever and eager for FFL/BG leagues so I see no reason he wouldn't be willing to Commish again. Also I'd prefer 10-12 teams as well, 8 per league seems too easy to get big players, I like it better when midseason pickups like Earnest Graham are big moves compared to having them sit behind the two stud RB every team already has. Whatever type of league we do this year I'm excited for though, hoping to actually finish in the top half of the league this year unlike the last few

*EDIT* To those who did the IDP league last year in addition to the two main BG leagues, how did you feel about it? Tyr mentioned wanting to do it again in addition to the two main ones, and I really enjoyed it compared to regular FFL. However I am a bit bias because I won that league and have got near last place both years in the regular BG league lol.

[Akiyama]

Yeah, I knew that about Tyr. I talked to him a while back as well. I don't mind how we do the BG FFL, I want in either way.

The IDP league was so much fun. I'd never done that before. Finished 3rd too thanks to Tom Brady and some awesome defensive pick ups (Dansby from Arizona was a stud), so that was awesome. I would have won if I hadn't lost my game in the playoffs since Brady wasn't playing that much near the end there. =[

[Akiyama]

Double post for Football justice. Packers are thinking of trading Favre in-division to the Vikings or Bears possibly. They also offered him 10 years/$20 million to stay retired.

[Deejay]

He's going to the red sox didn't you hear?

[Tyche]

What white woman have you been choking with those gloves deejay?

[Deejay]

Those gloves look like they fit and Ramirez is cuban lol.

[Tyche]

The picture is dark, and you have long hair last pic I seen of you. All black people look the same anyway, and he looks black in that pic.

[Byrd]

what he means is that @South Carolina, Florida Atlantic, and Florida State are harder combined than Arizona, Oregon State, and @ UCLA.

What I actually meant is that neither of those schedules is particularly daunting, so there was no marquee matchup for either candidate to throw up huge numbers against at the end of the year to impress voters. Oregon State actually had the nation's #1 defense against the run (and the best defense overall in the conference) last year, so that would have been an argument for Dixon had he run all over them. However, from a public perception aspect, all of both teams' most difficult games had come earlier in the season. I think Oregon's finishing schedule was tougher given UF's Florida Atlantic game and 2/3 of Oregon's schedule was on the road, but I don't think there's enough of a difference it would have had much of an effect on the Heisman voting.

Me? I've never had long hair lol. It's short. http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/phot...10418_3155.jpg


Oh and FAU's winning sunbelt again this year. We're going to be sick.

[Tyche]

I remember you posting pics from a NYG party, there was a long haired dreds dude there. Maybe I confused you with one of your friends...

[Deejay]

Oooh yeah probably. He was the sad one sitting in a corner because he was rooting for the packers lol.

Speaking of the Packers, they totally need to just bring Favre back and make him play. Paying him 20 mil to sit? That's fucked up. They need to just suck it up and pay Aaron to get over it and start him next year.

[Kailee]

Farve's on his way to Green Bay. Packers don't have practice today, tomorrow is going to be one crazy day for the Packers.

[Weltall]

Dolphins are working out Quincy Carter....lol. Beginning of the end right there.

Edit- Yeah, if he ends up forcing a trade to the Vikings it will be huge bowls of popcorn for all.

[Akiyama]

Saw that on ESPNNEWS about Favre, rofl. Chartered a plane and everything. Gonna be interesting for sure tomorrow.

[Tyche]

Rumor around Dolphins camp is that the tuna thinks all 3 current QBs suck ass and all of them are playing like shit in practice. Never known Parcells to take on a media circus, so I don't get quincy carter at all. Never mind the fact he can't play, he's been tied into drug charges and shit. The QB situation must be really bad. Shoulda took Brohm (even though he wouldn't start as a rookie anyway).

[Weltall]

I'm glad Joey Porter is rotting there. He is still there isn't he? lol

[Deejay]

Yeah, Porter bolted a good situation in Pittsburgh for money in No mans land Miami. The defensive coordinators didn't know how to use him so he had one of his worst seasons ever last year, too.

[Byrd]

Shoulda took Brohm (even though he wouldn't start as a rookie anyway).

They should have taken Brady Quinn last year. Still not sure what they were smoking taking Ted Ginn Jr.
