NFL Talk 2008

[Eziekial]

Miami got spanked. Although Henne looked pretty good at the end there. Maybe light at the end of this tunnel...

[Reynaldo]

All QBs look good vs. 3rd string D!!! =D

Panthers looking really solid as well, and they get Steve Smith back this week.

SD did get the high hard one.

[vonkaar]

Tonight's game should be really good. Both teams looked freaking good in week 1.

[Tikker]

jeje, dallas/philly game has been pretty good so far, even if I don't give a shit about either team


ps, rookies are fucking idiots sometimes

[vonkaar]

They said in the game last night that when he was in highschool, he did a swan dive into the end zone and landed a yard short... rofl I'd love to see that.

Good game...
crappy defense, though the Cowboys turned it on when it mattered.

[Arlos]

Actually, it was a forward diving somersault. They showed the clip on ESPN. It was indeed amusing.

I think he's done his one time utter idiocy, though, and you can't argue that he's one hell of a WR. I remember watching the draft, and thinking that every team that needed a WR that passed on him because of "size issues" was going to be sorry, cause I'd seen what he could do at Cal.

What's going to happen if Seattle loses to St Louis this week?

[Arlos]

Unlikely to happen, as while Seattle has looked bad, St Louis has looked 1970s Tampa Bay level of bad. Same with KC.

-Arlos

[Reynaldo]

I'm a chiefs fan, and I haven't seen a team as bad as them since the expansion Browns back in 99(?). I honestly think the Rams would blow us out....

It pains me to have a QB named Thigpen, even if he WAS good.

[Arlos]

Isn't Thigpen a character from "Peanuts"?

And yes, St. Louis and KC are both awful. The only real question is: are they 0-14 Tampa Bay awful? Only time will tell...

What's going to happen if Seattle loses to St Louis this week?

Down to their 6-9 wide receivers on their depth chart now. It is just uncanny the injuries for the wide outs. I am almost debating trying to walk on and play receiver for the Hawks now, i doubt i would get stopped at the gate either, the security gaurds dont know the current WRs

Running game looked much better, and i think we will beat St. Louis fairly handily. Then a much needed bye week and we should get Branch and Engram back. If i am the Seahawks, i am calling Cincinnati and see what it would take to get Ocho Cinco off their hands.

[Arlos]

I dunno that they could do that deal. I thought one of the biggest reason he didn't get traded was that doing so would have triggered an insanely high cap hit that they just didn't have room to absorb. If that's the case, Seattle could call all they want and not get anywhere.

Anyone know the facts on the cap hit for trading Chaz Ocho?

could be 3-5 million

possibly as high as 17 million

maybe

[Xaiveir]

Unfortunately the math behind a cap hit is incredibly difficult to figure. In the newer CBA i believe you can defer half of a cap hit on a player if he is traded after june 1st. Its possible to trade him with their cap space (around 28 millionish for next year) asborb it and still have some money for free agents/draft picks.

I think the real problem is the fact that you really cant replace Chad. A first and 3rd round pick is the probable asking price, but that doesnt help the bengals replace their 1 reciever.

[Tikker]

bengals need a lot of help

1 WR isn't going to make them a decent team, no matter who it is

you see their defense jogging around?

they should stock up on draft picks,, ditch marvin lewis, and bring in a rebuilder like Schottenheimer and get the team going again

[Phlegm]

The Eagles exposed the Steelers sorry ass offensive front line this week.

[Tikker]

The Eagles exposed the Steelers sorry ass offensive front line this week.

definitely

both defenses played really well

for as much as they had the ball, the eagles offense didn't really do fuck all

I don't think I've seen 6 sacks in a quarter before, not even in highschool

[Phlegm]

Four games into the season and two coaches already bit the dust. Who is next? My bet would be the guy in Cleveland or Cincinnati.

Nobody in their right mind would take that Raiders' job.

[Arlos]

Wow, Seahawks got DESTROYED by the Giants.

How about that comeback by Indy?

Wow, San Diego lost again. WTF is wrong with them, well, other than Norv being an awful head coach?

New England has looked out of Sync, big time, so far in the 49ers game. I still think the Patsies'll win, but it's closer than you'd have thought.

-Arlos

[Tikker]

Norv just shouldn't ever be a head coach

Indy didn't deserve to win that game

Rosenfels gave that game away, almost like he owed a bookie a favour

I'm still kinda surprised how the Giants are still flying under the radar

[Griever]

About time for my Skins to get some love?

[Haylo]

I was thinking the same thing. No one gives us any credit >< Ah well, hopefully we are able to maintain our momentum, the next 4 games should all be wins and then we have our bye week.

[Tikker]

yeah, I dunno what to think about the skins

they're definitely playing well lately

[Phlegm]

I'm still kinda surprised how the Giants are still flying under the radar

They're not under the radar at all. They are #1 on almost all the website power rankings.

[Griever]

We have the Steelers before the bye. Should be a very good game on Monday night. I'll be there!
