winner talk. for real.
good win, axl. the avatar will be there for a week...
the pats looked pretty ordinary yesterday, mostly thanks to the steelers d. also, the steelers o-line was giving roethlisberger the kind of time that brady is used to getting
my fantasy stud wes welker is cooling off fast. thank goodness i have adrian peterson, fred jackson and steven jackson on my fantasy team

sorry to bring up that Patriots victory again, but I'm so proud of Ohio native Big Ben Roflsburger
the Pittsburgh o-line showed that if they actually give Big Ben time to go thru his natural QB progression, he will lite up most defenses, and specially ones with a questionable secondary like New England's
I could see Pittsburgh goin' back to the Suuuuper-Bowl

based on yesterday, pittsburgh looks like the team to beat in the afc right now. you guys should finish with a solid record (especially given how easy your schedule gets in the second half... )

I was thinking we might be having the same teams in the super bowl as last year.
As for my Giants, it was an ugly win this week. They have a tendency of playing down to the level of shitty teams, but at least they got the win. They really need it with their schedule coming up. I'm glad to see Victor Cruz stepping up to take the place of Steve Smith (who has only 5 receptions since leaving NY to play for the Eagles this season..... serves him right).

bad play, but great drama. All that bad ball handling made for a thrilling chiefs win. 
ehh I agree with Keni, they all looked like bumbling, buck-toothed homos to me. my girl before the game told me that Kansas City would win and I was all hell naw. then I asked her how she knew at the end of the game and she answered: "because I don't think that footbaw teams from California can play good footbaw!"" LOLOL! what a dime-piece! I wish Jefe were around to hear such ROFL
true on the scheddy, but it will be nice to have a break in the latter part of the season. the first half was not particularly all wine + roses (due to facing B-more twice, Houston, NE, 49ers, etc)

yeah, obviously that proclamation was made in a bit of jest due to the nature of being such a blanket statement that it's painful
on the bright side, the State of Cali produces some spectacular high school footbaw, at least on par with the major footbaw producing states (such as FL, GA, TX, OH, etc)
damn San Diego is a team that always seems to ass-ram me whenever I am forced to prognosticate in any way, shape, or form their game. but hey, at least you are a 49ers fan, right Care-bro?
and I agree with the Chargers being on the wrong end of the business side of calls from the refs. god dang Zebras. the sissification of the NFL has made me immediately, half-expecting a flag flown from the zebras during any pass that is slightly down the field. and don't get me started on the slightest window the zebras have allowed for a defender to hit the QB, but also if this hit was made a millisecond after said QB throws the ball. it's sad to see literally entire drives made due to consecutive pass interference/roughing the passer calls!
are the San Diego Chargers going to be the next Oakland Raiders? or am I going too extreme on the absurd with that statement?

the only thing that raped the chargers last night was their own shitty ball handling. the flubbed snap at the end of q4 cost them the game moreso than any officiating...

My former high school is actually the top school in the central section for D1 football. They're always competing for the state title, although they haven't won it in quite some time. Our stadium is legit for high school, its far and away the most impressive high school stadium in the region.
And yea its good to be a niners fan atm but I find myself rooting for the chargers too sometimes since they're like the only west coast team that's been worth anything in the past 10 years. The call against Gates in the end zone was total garbage. The same thing happened to them against the jets last week, it will be interesting to see how that division turns out with the raiders, chiefs and chargers all in the hunt. I think the chargers have caught some bad breaks recently, and they're going up against GB next week while the raiders and chiefs have some plush games on the horizion. However I still think they are the best team of the bunch.
Oh and the niners are gonna crush the skins this weekend unless john beck has an amazing game, which isnt gonna happen.
impressive, Care. without trying to sound like a dumb jock, I do miss high school footbaw. it is such a big deal in the State of Ohio. there is nothing like playing under the lights, every Friday night... playing night games every week is something even the NFL and NCAA can't boast
for teh Lulz: Detroit wants to dis-invite Nickelback from its Thanksgiving Game

I believe Max Power is a Detroit Loins, and Gym Shorts and "Fat" Matt Stafford fan. maybe he can give us an inside scoop or something? although I think MP lives in Texas, so he probably is a Cowboys fan who just jumped on the Detroit Lions bandwagon
the rock-n-roll loving Industrial Eastern Mid-West should not stand for this. a city as rich in rock music as Detroit, a city that brought me one of my favorite old-school rock bands in the Motor City 5, should not let this aggression stand

^ I heard about that. Im definitely not a Nickelback fan but I had no idea so many people actively despised them like that.
I didn't play highschool football, but yea I know what you mean. California is definitely not into HS football as much as some places in the country, but our school was really good and Cali is big so it is very competitive towards the end of the season. It was always really fun watching the football games at the end of the year when there was a lot of hype about facing top ranked schools. We actually beat De La Salle my senior year, which is one of the most recruited teams in the whole country for D1 college players.
Plus I was on the wrestling team, and alot of the football players did wrestling too so I knew alot of the guys on the team.

I live in FL, tyvm.
And you can talk all the crap you want about Stafford but I'll be damned if I let you dig Gym Shorts name through the mud!!!
MP: haha, I actually like Matthew Stafford and have been a fan since his UGA days. he's good, well - when he is healthy that is
Care: oh yeah, it's kinda funny how much hate Nickelback gets in regards to touring circuses. I think they suck balls, no doubt, but I've heard stories of that band having to be on the business end of rocks being thrown! I guess America doesn't like post-to-the-seventh-power grunge butt-rock?
being from around the Cleveland and Detroit region, I feel like this area (being obsessed with rawk n roll, et al) will not let such an aggression stand
Canada GTFO ("Imported from") Detroit!!

All im saying is if the officiating had been better they might not have found themselves in a situation to give the game away at the last second.
But yes, you're right. They really managed to piss that game away. Good teams need to find ways to win despite questionable officiating and the chargers failed to do that despite having what I consider to be one of the best teams in the league talent wise. I've said it before and ill say it again, Norv Turner needs to be fired, he was bad in SF and he is bad in SD.
^ I think I posted in this thread right after they played the Jets, and commented on how the Jets really only won due to the officiating. They were not letting San Diego play defense at all, well not pass defense anyway. Even the commentators were saying the penalties were just good defense, not pass interference. They were even calling interference on a line backer guarding a tight end within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage.
I understand if a team wants to just throw it deep on third and long hoping for a reception or a call, but this was every down, and it didn't matter the yardage.
