Go Cowboys!

Or, at least those that aren't getting suspended...

I would like to see the Packers *not* make the playoffs this year. I'm anti-cheering for them. Also the Patriots, but realistically, I think both make it. Patriots because they're the Patriots and Packers because they're NFC North and somebody's gotta win that division, might as well be them.

Yeah... they did go, all right... Eventually, the Bills will keep their top draft picks. One day...

Speaking of keeping top draft picks, Tampa Bay has some egg on its face regarding its just-released kicker...

If we give a head coach enough time to setup something successful.

Head coach and GM... Bills are as bad as the Browns, in those regards. Gotta have stability at the top to build a real dynasty.

I now propose a thoroughly uninformed round-up of all the teams in the NFL, followed by a Super Bowl pick that will be, at best, 50% accurate, which is what most sports writers do, anyway... :P

CLEVELAND BROWNS: I think they're gonna suck this year. Do not expect them to win many games, and that may be an understatement.

CHICAGO BEARS: These guys need more than just a change at quarterback to be effective. Expectations set at a low, low, low level for this team.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Are they all back, again? I guess they'll be in the Super Bowl again, unless the Steelers can stop them.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS: Please, please, PLEASE beat the Patriots.

TMQ is back. I'm one of the guys that likes Easterbrook's style, even if there are those of the "Gregg Easterbrook is a pompous dipshit" school.

The regular season ones, no less.

Football roundtable question one: will the Bengals choke in the playoffs again, or will they even make it this year?

Agreed. In the AFC, I'm picking Patriots, Houston, Raiders, and Steelers as division champs. Bengals get to flame out as a wild card and my other wild card pick will be the Chiefs.

In the NFC, my div champ picks are Cowboys, Packers, Falcons, and Cardinals. Wild cards are Seahawks and Giants.

should we setup a football pick'em group somewhere?   not fantasy, don't have time for all that, but just a simple pick the winners every week?  I think yahoo, or fox, cbs or espn should have has something like that.
