NFL - Week 11

Phlegm · Post by **Phlegm** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 7:58 pm

A few teams will have a different starting quarterback this week; Maddox in Pittsburgh, McMahon in Philadelphia, and Dorsey in San Francisco.

The best game this week is Bengals vs. Colts.

Tampa and Atlanta will also be good. Possibly better than the Colts/Bengals. Overall this week has a lot more good teams playing bad ones, it seems.

I'm so geared up right now to see the Texans vs the Titans I can't even wait.

I boldly predict that the 49ers will lose again. All hail me for going so far out on a limb with such a risky prediction!

I'll put $5 on the Bengals to at least cover, to win even. Takers?

Hell give me another $5 on the Saints. New England is going to get wtfpwnt. I can feel it.

I thought I saw a news flash last night saying Roethlisberger was going to start

maybe it was just dress, but I can hope maddox gets killed

I read where Randle El was getting snaps in practice. Maddox will start, but if he's completely inept, Cowher has other options. I think Big Ben will dress and be active for the game, too.

It's Baltimore, without Lewis and Ed Reed, I think. Not a difficult game.

Baltimore plays the steelers tough, no matter who's dressed

It is kind of funny that both the steelers starting wideouts are ex-college QB's tho

I wouldn't mind seeing Randle El take a few snaps

Yeah, but Baltimore is a shell of their former team. Boller is completely inept and Wright is only slightly better. Their D is decent but not dominating anymore.

The Steelers play everyone close, due to their ball control, run oriented style.

The last game was closer on the score board than it was watching it live.

Sure, if Maddox completely fubars things, the Steelers will lose, but I get the feeling the gameplan will mostly take things out of his hands.

can only hope that he's not allowed to do much more than hand the ball off

hehe, I'd love to see Randle El get some snaps, and throw a TD. Specially if I start him in a WR slot. Although if I do, I'm sure he'll throw 6 INTs.

Maddox is the starter and Randal El is the back up. Roethlisberger is the emergency 3rd quarterback.

Pittsburgh better hope Roethlisberger is ready next week against the Colts.

Unless Pitt has a huge time of possession gap, Indy will roll them in the Dome next week.

Cleveland looked good yesterday especially their running game albeit it was against the Dolphins.

Donovan McNabb is going to have surgery on his hernia so he's more than likely out for the season.

Minrott · Post by **Minrott** » Mon Nov 21, 2005 3:51 pm

He should have gotten it right away, but hind sight is 20/20 I guess. I'm miffed I didn't see any football this weekend.
