4-4 ftwRyder004

[QUOTE="Ryder004"]4-4 ftwCommanderShiro

4-4 would mean a Jacksonville win.

[QUOTE="Ryder004"]4-4 ftwCommanderShiro

Yeah, especially without Garrard which is looking likely now. So with that in mind, I have to think the Bucs would be the favorites to win.

4-4 would mean a Jacksonville win.

ya i think the JAX offense can be handled, but their defense scares me

and the comforting thought is the fact that im 99.9% sure that CAR will lose to(no offense to ngamer)

I watched the game last night and I must say I was impressed with the Jacksonville defense. I'm sure if the offense would have been more productive than it would have given their defense a little bit of a break. However, there are two things I have noticed about the JAX D.

One, their secondary is vulnerable. Manning would have destroyed them beyond recognition if it weren't for their pass rush. I must say their pass rush really got to Manning at times in the game.

Secondly, I noticed that their D can be worn down by the run. In the second half, the Colts run game was able to pick the defense alive. Of course, the D might have been worn out from being on the field so long on a very humid night.

If the Carolina defense can force some turnovers, the Panthers have a legitimate chance of winning. Peppers is finally waking up andis pressuring the quarterbackmore consistently.

Is there any definative answer as to when and where the Texans vs. Chargers game will be?emrodriguez06

I haven't heard anything yet.

I think Atlanta is the second biggest joke of a franchise this year. Of course, numbero uno is reserved to the Miami Tuna, er Dolphins.

What team in their right mind releases a player having a monster year? I'm sure its not Grady's fault the team is 1-6.

The offense is blame for the tired run defense. The Jags defense is usually top notch because our offense stays on the field so damn long managing the clock. Sadly.....Quinn Gray can't do what Garrard does. :cry:

i think the chargers game will be played at SD cause i live 2 hours away from SD(dont make fun of me cause im a fan of bucs living in the san diego area) but the wildfires have calmed down cause the wind stopped and when i woke up this morning there was a lil bit of smoke in the air, and they let us practice today outside(i play H.S football) cause all week we didnt have practice has it was to smoky

so yeah my prediction is they will play at SD

EDIT: ngamer, if CAR win i swear i will sh*t myself

then i will be scared for week 16 to come( i think thats when we play CAR next)

Well, aren't they still using Qualcom for refugees? What would they do with all of them there who lost their homes?emrodriguez06

WTF? THey aren't refugees. I thimk you mean evacuees (Or however that's spelled)

[QUOTE="emrodriguez06"]Is there any definative answer as to when and where the Texans vs. Chargers game will be?wallymartin

I haven't heard anything yet.

Cleared to play in San Diego as originally planned.

Injured Steelers secondary veryvulnerable against Carson Palmer (more vulnerable than usual, I should say).

Anyway, GO STEELERS!

Well the definition of a refugee is someone who was forced out of their home so technichly he's correct, but evacuee works too.

Is INDY/CAR a early game or a late game?

[QUOTE="detroitpistons0"]Is it me, or were there many, many empty seats in that arena?CommanderShiro

[QUOTE="detroitpistons0"]Is it me, or were there many, many empty seats in that arena?CommanderShiro

They said the attendance was 81,000+.

Doesn't surprise me, their stadiums there are huge.

I have to hand it to, Belichick and the Patriots, they faked a Spike again and they scored a TD again, 2 weeks in a row, that they done that

It is only just a matter of time, before other teams start trying this and copycat it
