Well... they are 0 - 2... but as I said in an earlier post, they have far better talent than their record currently indicates. However, if you keep it close, they seem to have proved this season that "THEY KNOW HOW TO CHOKE"...

Yeah... if Lordstone1 started posting (especially in this thread)... that would be a shock.

And it's funny... somebody started a thread asking whether Apolyton needed an armed forces earlier.

I closed it saying we already had one... the Green Army.

Who would have thought that would come up twice in the same evening *cue twilight zone music*

The Chargers? They are 2-0 . And Brees is looking very very good. Tomlinson is also pretty decent.

But it looks like they'll have to settle for 2nd in the South this year, because McAllister and the Saints are looking amazing!

I like the Saints, too, but they're simply going to fold under the mighty Panthers. =P

Alright, who decides the schedules that these teams play? I'm looking through some of them, and I can't really see any that appear as easy as the Panther's schedule. It may be my imagination though, and of course I don't actually know who's good or not.

Not only is Conway that wimp that used to play for the Bears, he is playing pretty damn good .

Nobody really knows at this point. If you had predicted at the start of the season that both the Rams and the Steelers would start the season 0 - 2, people would have laughed.

Many of the experts have them playing against each other in this years Super Bowl... go figure.

I know he is playing well... but that's only because he is back in the warm weather of Southern Cal... In Chicago, he was a wimp. He used to whine more about the cold weather here than people whine about posts not counting in the OTF anymore

And as far as Brady goes.... great pick... sigh...

While like you, I hate the Steelers... but I'm afraid the rest of their schedule is against a bunch of bad teams... they should come back and make the playoffs.

As far as Peppers goes, I have no clue who drafted him, or if anybody did... (good time to check the waiver wire)

Yea, I mispoke when I said the Panthers have the easiest schedule. Look at the Jaguars, and look at the Texans. The Steelers have smooth sailing from now on out, too, whereas someone clearly wants, for example, the Raiders to lose.

There is no BEST bet for a win when it comes to the Lions. It will simply come down to the old "On any given Sunday" rule for them to win a game. And with my luck, it will happen against the Bears...

Indeed they can, Ming... and Imran, I'll say it again - when it's all said and done, Oakland will have gotten the worse half of the Gruden trade. The Raiders are doomed to SALARY CAP HELL next year (along with my least favorite team, the Rams) with a second-year coach, while the Bucs will be able to make noise with Gruden for several years and still be competitive when the time comes to reconstruct the defense.

The offense still isn't where we need it to be - defensive touchdowns and field goals aren't going to cut it against the Rams. But I'm not worried - the Bucs are always up for the Rams, and we haven't lost to them since the referees screwed us over in the '99 NFC championship. And Gruden's West Coast system will come together in time - it's something you can't rush. They do have the personnel for it, at least, and it sure as hell ain't as conservative as the "other stuff" Mr. Dungy was giving us.

Good avatar Sava!

About the schedule - it works like this, you against all 3 of the teams in your conference twice (6), every team in your division (of 4) plays against an entire division in the opposite cinference (4) and an entire division in the same conference as you (4), which adds up to 14. The other two games are decided by how good you were the year before - meanin if you won your division, you will have to play two division winners, if you were second you play two teams that were second in their division, etc. Those two teams are from the same conference as yours btw. So that brings you to 16 games, plus the bye. It makes a hell of a lot more sense now that they had realignment and evened out the teams.

The Rams are well-built. I watched their drafts for like 3 years before they hit big-time. Warner was a surprise, but Trent Green wasn't a dog or anything.
San Diego has been doing it the same way, and will be the A.F.C. equivalent.
