NFL Week 8 : Priorities

[Weltall]

I think the Colts pull away in the 4th Q of that one as well.

[Lordender]

what the fucking hell rofl

Gruden put that on after talking about the two tightends being jokers shocky and tony g.

[Sol-Blackguy]

green bay could be in trouble if rodgers keeps getting knocked around. one foot is sprained and the other foot has a sprained toe. eventually someone is just gonna break him and green bay will miss out because dallas and washington will have the wild cards sewn up

Baltimore will get a wild card before Washington ever will... it's kind of their thing.

I'm still lol'ing at the pregame on nfl network a couple weeks ago:

Question: Why are the Giants playing so well?

Michael Irvin: You've got to look at what the WR's are doing, extending the field blah blah.

Mooch: And the qb play has been great to go along with that!

Marshal Faulk: The way the 2 running backs are opening up the play action and controlling the pass rush is what really makes everything tick.

Warren Sapp: The real strength of the Giants is the defensive line play, and not just the pass rush. It's the big guys stuffing the run blah blah.

Mooch: I think the key to it all is how well the coaches run the system around the players they have available. They have the wr's running the right routes blah bla blah.

[Tyche]

Your predictions are starting to look like mine this year... retarded. D: I don't think they will. The Pats look a lot better now than they did, even if it's against dogshit teams.

I don't really think so. The Colts, without Bob Sanders, has an amazing amazing pass defense. If Sanders can stay healthy for just TWO MORE GAMES (long shot, I know), then they're that much better. The Pats pass defense, although statistically good in ypg allowed, really isn't that great. It's average at best, especially given the QBs they've faced. I think Caldwell has mentally had this game circled ever since he became head coach. The Pats have been the bane of the Colts with Dungy, and I think Caldwell really wants to prove that he belongs where he's at. If the Colts get ahead, and early, I honestly think that they'll keep it full throttle the entire game and not let up the least bit. Manning will be launching it up 20 with 4 minutes left in the fourth if it comes down to that. Even if the Pats start to come alive and start to look even as good as that '07 team, I don't think they have a snowball's chance in hell on winning at Lucas Oil Stadium.

If they would've had a cheerleader chiming in about their intensity and the uniforms, that would've been golden.

Yesterday was a very entertaining game, either offense made a big play or the defense gambled to make an equally big play, on both teams. Both teams played hard, my man.

Aki you posted the Saints' schedule but I think they're playing the Skins sometime this season too...?

This is their schedule:

9 Sun, Nov 8 Carolina
10 Sun, Nov 15 @ St. Louis
11 Sun, Nov 22 @ Tampa Bay
12 Mon, Nov 30 New England
13 Sun, Dec 6 @ Washington
14 Sun, Dec 13 @ Atlanta
15 Sat, Dec 19 Dallas
16 Sun, Dec 27 Tampa Bay
17 Sun, Jan 3 @ Carolina

The only game they could possibly lose is against NE, and maybe the Redskins.

The saints are lucky they don't have to play VY.

Well I think that could be a spot that Indy could get caught up in. Big hyped game, blahblah.

And Lbelle, I assume you're kidding about the Skins. =P My local HS team could beat them on a good day. Though I'm sure you're just being sarcastic.

Either way, the losable games I see are @Carolina assuming they have shit all wrapped up, NE, and maybe @ATL. Dallas too I suppose.. but I think Brees would have a field day with the defense.

[Chun Liroy]

I think that our corners are pretty decent (Newman has to have one of those good days) especially if we put jenkins on marques instead of newman along with Sensabaugh.. but that ain't gonna happen. It'll likely result in a shootout with the Saints 100 Cowboys 50.

You have a lot more faith in our corners than I do. Sensabaugh is mostly on TE duty in our defense, so he'll be on Shockey for the majority of the game like he was on Gonzalez against the Falcons.

Newman and Jenkins are still too hit or miss right now although they've been play better (mostly against bad teams though).

If we have a shot at winning, we'll have to put major pressure on Brees. I don't see any other way around it.

I dunno. This one smells like it's got a respectable chance for upset- if only because the Pats tend to step it up when facing the Colts. If the Colts aren't leading by 7 or more by the half, I think the game is going to get ugly in a hurry.

[Chun Liroy]

Yeah I completely forgot about Shockey. We're fucked.

So you think they could lose to the skins, but @Atlanta is an automatic W?

I think they go 14-2, and lose 2 of the three...NE, @Atlanta, @Carolina. Ultimately, I think the Colts finish with the same record.

[Headspace]

The Bengals are going to go 13-3, straight up.

[Kyreth]

The only game they could possibly lose is against NE, and maybe the Redskins.

If by "lose", you mean "fail to run up at least a two-touchdown lead with their second-stringers"- yes, it's possible.

Optionally, if Zorn hires snipers to gun down the Saints as they get off the team bus. At this point, that'd be the best coaching decision he's made in the past two years.

[Serif]

Colts gonna lose to the best team in the NFL

The Titans

[MrW]

The Redskins offense will give the Saints way too many opportunities to score. Campbell's tunnel vision and their complete lack of a running game will allow Greer and Sharper to go off. Vilma will take care of everything else.

By step it up against Manning, you mean how Asante Samuel and Rodney Harrison have historically torched Manning. Yeaaaaah, about that...If you're talking about Brady, historically, he hasn't had the best games against Indi either. Even during 2007 his game wasn't anything to write home about. He's had a game winning drive or two against them though, so w/e, but I don't think he'll have the opportunity to do that this season.

This game is going to be so out of hand...
