That Detroit/Green Bay game was painful to watch, especially when the Lions looked liked the Carolina Panthers! Those new uniforms gotta go. *shakes head* Another team switching to a black jersey. Who's next? St. Louis? Philadelphia? I mean, come on, stick to your traditional team colors, people.
Glad they won, though.

HARDLY....They will be lucky to go 8-8 again. I mean their Defense isn't too great, at least it hasnt been clicking...They Lost MOSS. It is a big deal, you can't just shrug it off like someone will step up...no one Replaces someone that GOOD. Recievers with all them tools are RARE. I can actually see them Going more like...7-9 to be honest...Lets break it down.
They lost this week
They will Lose to the Bengals on the Road.. I guarantee it.
They might be able to Beat the Saints..but not if they played like they did today (both teams) Ill give it to the vikes though, im sure losing twice will make em play harder.
Falcons will win
Bear will Lose
Greenbay...Toss up they probally split.. this one is at home so ill give it to the Vikes
Panthers on the road...tough to say...both are inconsistent. Panthers have a better Defense...and a running Game...ill give it to Panthers..but it could go either way to be fair.
Lions at home...Lions will Win
Giants on the road...well if Eli keeps the progress up, by this time he should be in a rythym...Giants Get the win at home
Greenbay on the road...Greenbay wins this one...liek i said, they'll split.
Browns at home...Vikes win this...
Lions on the road...Lions win again
Rams at home....Rams are another inconsistent team...ill give it to the Vikes I spose'
Steelers at home...steelers win
Ravens on road...ravens win
Bears at home...Vikes winok so maybe 6-10 if it goes like that...Id say at most 9-7...thatd probally still get em a wildcard.
and its not like Im a vikings Troll, I actually like the Vikings alot, but lets be realistic.
I know they lost Moss. Buy you got to remeber, they didnt have Moss for like 6 games last year. And Culpepper still was great. He actully did better some of the games without Moss they with Moss. And now you add like 6 good defensive players and they're gonna be good. Culpepper had a bad game. Thats it. I dont think they are gonna win 12-13 either, im just saying what i hear most people predict. And most people predict them to win the division by llike 3 games.
Lost this week
Will win against Bengals
Will beat the Saints
Falcons will win, but i think it will be pretty close.
will beat the Bears
will beat Green Bay, Vikes have a better defense, Farve is great, but he lost javon Walker, so VIkes win.
Panthers, dont know, its could go either way but ill just say the Panthers.
Lions at home, ill give the lions this, but Vikes can win this too.
Giants win only cause they always kill us. But we should win.
we'll beat Green Bay again for the same reasons.
beat the browns
Beat the Lions
Wait a second, im a little confused, im just going by the game you put up there, assuming your right. Wehn you say Lions at home, does that means the Lions are home? or the Lions are at the Vikings home? o well, the Vikes will beat the lions wen they are home, and lose wen they are on the road.
Beat the Rams.
Steelers win, but Vikes could win, remeber one year the Cheifs were great, then the Vikes beat the like 40 something to like 10.
Ravens Win same reason as above though.
Beat the bears.
I dont know what they're record comes up too there, but i think they will win 10 games no matter what i put up there.
ill give you the split Against the lions...
And It really could go either way against the Bengals..only reason I gave them the nod was cuz its in cincinnati, and they have alot of playmakers..I know week 1 is over analyzed , and im sure the vikes are gonna turn it around, but I just think the bengals have the continuity going for them at this point...I mean Minnesota lost Moss, Added Defense, and alot of changes...I could be wrong though, I mean every team has a chance, but vikings will have a tough year..especially these next couple games.,,
and you really cant say youll sweep GB cuz they lost Javon Walker, I mean Vikes Lost Moss so same difference really...Cept Moss was alot better lol. Remember GB still have Ahman Green,Najeh Davenport, Bubba Franks, Donald Driver and such...Im not saying they wont win both (cuz I think they have a good shot), but I wouldnt bet on it...Id bet on a split though.
Also like I said...their success will vary depending on that Defense stepping up and clicking. And Culpepper needs to get comfortable in that offense...when you get uncomfortable and Jittery...you make stupid mistakes.
losing trotter cost the eagles more then losing mathis cost the falcons. not to say the eagles would have won, but they would have been better against the run. But I think the falcons are ready for the superbowl anyway as i said earlier Colts over falcons in detroit! I was so happy too, Kerney won my fantasy game for me.. and people say D doesnt do anything in fantasy!
pezmerga that was my superbowl prediction in preason, week 1 just backed me up with my picks both beating playoff worthy teams.
king kold i dont know that vick needs 3,000 yards. THey will need a better passing game, but they are the #1 rushing team because of 2 good backs and vick so they dont need a large passing game. Crumpler is a stud, Jenkins is untested really but he is showing very good promise. FInneran has solid hands, and Roddy white is a rookie with a lot of potential when fully healthy. They still have a pretty young team, but if they can put it all together they can make a good run at it. Although injuries can effect them in a big way so we will see.

They lost Walker and added nobody. We lost Moss and added a whole lot of people. And last year, both games we didnt have Moss, and both games we lost by 3. If we would have had the defensive players we got then we would have won.
And as for the Eagles. Wow. First off, i wouldnt be surprised if they planned that whole fight. The Falcons got somebody nobody's ever heard of to go and get into a fight with Trotter, so they lose nobody special, we lose Trotter. Im not saying they did that, but i wouldnt be surprised. Now for the game. The Eagles defense was great except for the first quarter. They were making all the plays at the right time. But the offense wasnt getting it done. First off, Akers missed two fields, if he made them we win. Second off, Mcnabb was bad. I hope it was because of that hit he took, because if he was fine, then thats not a good sign.
We will beat the 49ners. If we lost to them, i will go nuts. There is no way we should lose to them. Oh and another thing, Dawkins was crazy that game. He was the bets player for them. He has always been my favorite on the Eagles, but nobody talks about him at all. They always talk about TO, or Mcnabb, or Westbrook, or Trotter, or Kearse. Dawkins is easily the best player on their defense and the best FS in the league. He kept them in the game. He got an interception in the first quarter. Then he made a great play to stop Crumpler from getting a touchdown. Then the next play he got Vick to fumble. Which was HUGE. They would have at least got a field goal, and maybe a touchdown on that play if he didnt get there.
Oh and that Smith guy is an idiot. I know he doesnt like TO, but you dont say stuff about him because it will only motivate him more and he will play that much better against you. The Falcons coach told I think it was Ware, whoever was covering TO to not say anything to him because of that reason. Oh that brings me to another thing, Ware is officially the first person in the NFL that i hate. I dont hate anybody, i might dilike some people just because they are on the Cowboys or Giants, but Ware was really pissing me off. I wish he was on offense so Brian Dawkins could lay him out. After game when he was talking sh*t to TO, and then going up to the camera and all that other stuff. I think i might just rent Madden 06 and be the Eagles against the Falcons, put him on offense, and then hit stick him with Dawkins. 😈 Or maybe ill just do it in 05 since i still have that.
Eagles will win next week.
Vikings better win next week. I think they will.

Well key thing is that their young offense preforms well. Their Defense seems to be prety good.
of course once i say injuries could be big, Mathis is out for the season. Karma for the pre game fight maybe?
and Dan... who is WARE? DeAngelo Hall was the one all over TO all night. they dont have a player named Ware. Hall is a very promissing young CB with incredible speed, and proved he can hang with the best last night. Also Mathis isnt exactly a no body. He isnt huge for them, but they will be short at CB now. Because Rossum who is thier beast of a return specialist and CB has slight injury right now, and then they have a rookie so their #3 CB is hurt and their #4 is a real no body and no #5, losing mathis will be an issue against teams withe multiple good WR.
Also about the Packers, they are likely going to add Jerome Pathon Which to me would give them equal wideouts to the vikings.
I think Greenbay is in for a long year...
Falcons might go deep in playoffs, but I dont see em making it to the superbowl....but who knows....
lol I bet Mike Tice is sweatting bullets about this season...better do something or he's outta there...and that would probally be for the best.
I bet the Eagles come out next week fierce...lol I feel sorry for the 49ers...lol
anyway...here is my picks and Ill put a * by the best games this coming week.
Baltimore at Tennessee - Baltimore.. =(
Buffalo at Tampa Bay * - this will be a great game! Tampa Wins though
Detroit at Chicago - Detroit
Jacksonville at Indianapolis * - good game, Colts since they are at home.
Minnesota at Cincinnati - * Should be a good game If minnesota pulls it together. but still Cincinnati Wins it.
New England at Carolina - New England... I almost wanna pick the panthers for the upset, but they are no where near the team they were two years ago..
Pittsburgh at Houston - Steelers...not a hard Pick, David Carr Sucks.
San Francisco at Philadelphia - Philly
Atlanta at Seattle - hmm...Seattle is seriously underachieving..but untile they show me otherwise I gotta go with the Falcons.
St. Louis at Arizona - Lets see...Ill give it to Arizona.
Cleveland at Green Bay - Green Bay (they havent fallen that far!! lol)
Miami at N.Y. Jets - I think Miami Can win this...as long as they stop Curtis Martin
San Diego at Denver- chargers win...
Kansas City at Oakland - * I have a feeling this could be the best game of the week! I am hesitant but Ill pick Kansas City...they have alot going for them and lets see if that Defense was a fluke in week 1
Monday, Sep. 19 N.Y. Giants at New Orleans - Giants...sorry New Orleans , Ill still be rooting for you though.
Washington at Dallas - Dallas...Joe Gibbs is Senile
ill do the same..
Baltimore at Tennessee - Baltimore easy
Buffalo at Tampa Bay - Lossman looked good in week 1, and the D is still great BILLS win
Detroit at Chicago - Detroit
Jacksonville at Indianapolis - Indy easy
Minnesota at Cincinnati - Cincinnati Wins it.
New England at Carolina - Carolina only because i want them to win
Pittsburgh at Houston - Steelers easy
San Francisco at Philadelphia - Philly easy
Atlanta at Seattle - 2 of my favorite teams Ill take seattle because they need to make up for last week by giving alexander the ball every play.
St. Louis at Arizona - arizona was blown out by the GIANTS st louis lost to the 49ers.. so im gonna say they are both pathetic right now, and I hope Arizona wins.
Cleveland at Green Bay - Green Bay, Farve comes back with big game
Miami at N.Y. Jets - Jets have a LOT riding on this game, and will come out with a fury.
San Diego at Denver - Gates is back, chargers are back
Kansas City at Oakland - I agree this could be one of the best games. Because of larry johnsons legal issues at the moment ill go Oakland.
Monday, Sep. 19 N.Y. Giants at New Orleans - Saints
Washington at Dallas - Dallas easy, ramsey sucks, brunell sucks, gibbs sucks, and clinton portis isnt the same anymore.

shit, i knew i had it wrong. But i know there is CB named Ware on some team, I forget though. Anyway, i still think DeAngelo Hall is a f*g
Oh and Nate Burleson > Jerome Pathon

yea but thats why nate is higher on the depth chart then jerome. Are you thinking of DeMarcus Ware? The cowboys new guy hes not a CB but is on D.
No. I thinks its Matt Ware or something. I rember seeing him on Madden when i was doing a fantasy draft, he had crazy speed.
this guy http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/493104 prolly, right game, wrong team.
