Let's get ready to take on the suckfest that is the Cowboys! They had 5 interceptions (2 for touchdowns) and 6 turnovers last night. Unfortunately, the Bills still couldn't hold them off.....but we can take them! Brady vs Romo???? Brady all the way!

Yeah, but God help me, Romo is kind of hot. I'm looking forward to seeing Brady AND Romo on the same field! :o

Heading down to Miami with a 6-0 record next week against a 0-6 team. Hopefully the Patriots are 7-0 this time next week.

I might even drop the "almost" from that one! I don't know... I love the Pats. Winning is good. But I'm starting to agree with The Sports Guy, who has been calling them the "Cobra Kai Yankees" (and he's from here too!). But I still hate the Colts...so if they can manage another Cobra Kai Yankee performance on Sunday, that will be fine with me ;).

11-04-2007, 08:15 AM

Can the game hurry up and get here?

DH is reading in the Globe that Corey Dillon has been working out in preparation for a potential call from the Patriots not than Sammy Morris has been placed on IR for the rest of the season.

pocahontas

11-04-2007, 08:48 AM

You know I wondered about Corey Dillion and where he just up and disappeared to this year since I had him on my Fantasy Football Team last year. :confused: I was thinking, "Did he get traded and I didn't know about it??"

BTW...I haven't even looked yet but can anyone tell me is the game a 1 o'clock or a 4 pm today?

bookworm

11-04-2007, 01:50 PM

Pocahontas, you've probably already found out but it's 4 p.m. :).

Dillon retired at the end of last year, no trades--I believe he asked to be let out of the remainder of his contract and the Pats agreed. He turned down a few offers to visit teams earlier this season. The pre-game shows up here mentioned he & Belichick had issues last year, and speculated that he would not be a great fit in the locker room.

I can't wait to see how the rest of this season is going to playout. It was kind of nice to be on my toes on Sunday because the games had gotten a little *yawn*, but lets bring back the @sskicking again. Especially against the Jets.

Expect full @sskicking to return this week. Ravens perform like crap on primetime. They are pretty pathetic this year. :rolleyes:

I am SO annoyed...I fell asleep in the 3rd quarter and missed the end.

So I understand both teams are not happy with the officiating, but some of the Ravens were really vocal. Does anyone know if their comments were enough to get them fined? What is the threshold on that? Brady said in his press conference that he couldn't comment on plays he thought were badly called b/c he'd be fined.

laura

12-05-2007, 12:27 AM

The only fine I know of for sure is the guy who threw the official's flag into the stands. Not sure about comments made after the game.

bookworm

12-09-2007, 02:56 PM

I read this morning that 3 additional Ravens were fined for their comments after the game, and the coach issued some kind of apology.

But what I came in here to say was that yuck, that 2nd TD was vintage Moss. I do not like the walking over the goal line; it's obnoxious. I'm still glad he scored, though :o.

kwsu44

12-09-2007, 06:06 PM

Wow, the Steelers fan thread is harsh ... why do people hate the Patriots so much? And is Tom Brady really smug and obnoxious like they say? I don't see it.

I agree about Moss' 2nd touchdown though ... just get in the end zone like a normal person ... no showboating!

Thank you KWSU because after reading that thread I thought it was just me. I mean I like the Steelers because I was a Jerome Bettis fan and now am a Tomlin fan but jeez...I can think of plenty of SMUG, OBNOXIOUS (Peyton's face comes to mind for OBNOXIOUS :rolleyes: )players in the NFL. Brady is NOT one of 'em. Obviously, THEY didn't see the interview with him a couple Sundays ago. He is actually quite down to earth.

TVDinner

01-01-2008, 10:29 AM

I am not a big Patriots fan, but I don't find Brady obnoxious at all. He seems pretty down to earth and regularly puts himself down as just another player who is surrounded by a group of good players. He might be the most passive superstar I can remember to be honest.

TracieB

01-01-2008, 10:33 AM

Peyton Manning obnoxious? Hmm... that's not a word I'd use to describe him. I can think of plenty Patriot players use right for that term, though.

Everyone loves everyone on "their" team. I'm a Colts fan. IMO, Brady's a complete ass. You're Pats fan, in your opinion, Peyton's an ass. It's all relative.

TVDinner

01-01-2008, 10:35 AM

I am not a Colts fan but I agree with you TracieB that P Manning is not obnoxious. I find him really funny and pretty down to earth, which makes him much more likable.

I'll admit that the Patriots are a good team, especially when they play at home. I don't think any team would want to face them in that situation!!! I think the Colts would definitely give them a good fight (and win, of course!).

kwsu44

01-01-2008, 05:01 PM

I'm not a Colts fan, and I don't think Peyton Manning is an ass either. In fact, I really like players on other teams, they don't just have to be Patriots players.

I think every team has its fair share of jerks and nice people. It's human nature.

I think Tom Brady is really down to earth. He seems to handle the hype really well and always deflects praise from himself. There aren't a lot of players who woudl do that (Terrell Owens comes to mind).

TVDinner

01-01-2008, 05:17 PM

bookworm

01-13-2008, 03:56 PM

I was sort of rooting for the Chargers, though really I wanted both teams to lose :). It should be an interesting game next week--I'm glad the Colts/Chargers was such a physical game, but the depth of the Chargers was impressive. And frightening!

No kidding. That game sucked. Ugh. Now I don't know what I'm going to do if the Pats beat the Bolts next week... do I cheer for them (a fellow AFC team), or go for whoever is playing them? Decisions, decisions... ;)

I don't know if my dislike of Tom Brady is due to him specifically (although he does seem a little pompous, IMO), but rather all the hype that he gets from commentators. I mean, we get it - he's good. You tell us during every.single.time football show. The stroking of his balls by the football "analysts" is so annoying. I guess it's not his fault, but still, I'm sick of hearing about him.

pocahontas

01-13-2008, 09:26 PM

they are playing well, but now the pressure is really on them, even more so then the regular season. 16 and 0 means nothing without the Superbowl title. They really need to win it all, or it will always be a "but". They went 16-0 but they lost early in the playoffs. The went 16-0 but did not win it all, etc.
Ummm...:rolleyes: sorry but 16-0 means PLENTY without the Superbowl (not to say that they won't win it). Uh, do you know how many other teams are in the record books for such a season??

(And, of course, more hilarious because I feel like so many times they do this to Manning too...the only reason it may occur less now is due to their loss.) Whatever you do...don't go to the "dark side". (i.e. NFC) Stay with your AFC roots...the force is strong with us! LOL! :D

Haha! I went with "ball stroking" instead of "riding his jock strap," but both would work well in my argument. LOL!!

Yeah, I know, I know, be faithful to the AFC, but if it's a Pats/Packers game, I just don't know. It'd be pretty cool for Brett Farve to get a ring in his last game (that is, if he retires).

Do we need to go quote your post from last year where you scolded Pats fans for not remaining AFC loyal? :) I know it's out there somewhere!

Of course, I couldn't criticize, as I was not routing for the Colts last year. I hope it's a dilemma you have to face :).

alienhost

01-14-2008, 10:04 AM

I'm a late coming in here but the Pats are just...unstoppable this year.

Peyton Manning must be so disappointed that they lost, especially with Eli winning last night. I can say it now that the Colts are out of it.....A COLTS/GIANTS superbowl would have been interesting.

And not to keep going on about Peyton, but I'm REALLY tired of seeing all those commercials that he is doing....

The worst part about it is that I lost 2 hours of sleep last night staying up to watch us lose. :( That, and the fact that I have to hear all the Giants fans say "Nany nany poo-poo"! I even woke up at 3:30 this morning and felt sad about it all.

I completely blame the red sweatshirt.

Okay, really, I blame the offensive line. Brady got annihilated.

To make matters worse, they majorly, majorly upped their ticket prices for next year. Now it is going to be incredibly, insanely expensive to go to a game. Bet they'll increase parking and everything else too. What is it going to cost to get a beer - $10?
