Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 08:33 PM by RagingInMiami
And if you're going for the pats, notice I did not capitalize that team.

51. I love the Packers!
What do you think about the lineup so far? How's it look?

I get stuck hearing all the Chiefs news down here so I might need you this season as a lifeline to how everyone looks up there!

63. The Pack is my team
I think they've taken a step backwards this year. I think loosing their two guards is going to cause more trouble than originally expected.

8. For this year: "America's Team", the New Orleans Saints
Geaux! Geaux!

After that it'll likely be back to whichever team from someplace I've lived (about eight in all, counting two-team cities like NY)is contending, unless Hawai'i should happen to get an expansion team...

55. Here's an FSU's fan view.
When you've got the Seminole tribes of Florida and Oklahoma with YOU on the side of the lawsuit authorizing use of the name, it's kind of hard to lose.

22. Is Kitna still with them?
He is from here in Tacoma Wa. He showed up on my radar when he was in the European league. Led his team to many victories, an eventual championship and got league MVP. The guy was known to have running stats a fullback would be proud of. We squandered him up here in Seattle, IMHO

Your new QB looks promissing too. I root for just about any team with an ex-Seahawk. I liked your old running back, Patriots got Christian Fauria from us too.

20. I went to Western Wa. U., our team was the Vikings,
...same colors, same helmet horns, dismal record though. I think they may have won a game while I was there. For 4 years I rooted for them nontheless. They did bunches better after I stopped pullin for them! Are you sure you want MY help when I confess to such stats?

You may have a good offense, but you guys have absolutely no defense, and for that you're going to pay. All your scary costumes and bad body paint jobs won't save you from being thrashed by the Chiefs!

Gotta love the Bills! Great defense...great Special Teams...great running back...but great quarterback? Well...we will find out...I'm not predicting any kind of Super bowl for these guys, but hopefully this season will mature the young Losman...This team definitely has playoff potential...maybe not this season...but I guarantee next season there will be some Bill's domination going on!

66. I wish they would have shown the boos on TV
That would have been great.

The Raiders made no attempt to stop Brady's short passes. And it wasn't like they were rushing anybody in. I don't get it. They had seven players in the secondary, but they refused to cover anybody. They were content letting the receiver catch the ball and then tackle him.

It was as if they were playing prevent defense the whole game.

But I realized I don't hate the pats as much as I did a couple of years ago. And I was very happy that Vince Wilfork was named player of the game.

He's a local Miami guy that played for the Miami Hurricanes, and I always support former Canes.

68. rock on
we were worried in the beginning, as oakLand seemed to march down the fieLd undetettered.. not to mention the freak. damn, he's just as good in oakLand. (did you see the Lick he did take though in the beginning from harrison? i was surprised he got up so quick)

so, they showed the army parade at home? everyone i asked, didn't watch the haLftime show (if you couLd caLL it that).

on a simiLar note.. kanye west was pLaying as we were fiLing in. i just heard peopLe cLapping and cheering aLong.

today, i had on our LocaL NBC news and they mentioned kanye's performance and said.... he was booed by the giLLette faithfuL. they showed some guy booing. i was there, and i'm sure there were some boos (especiaLLy, from the guy in my section freaking out in the other story) but i didn't hear any.

gLad to see my LocaL 'LiberaL' NBC affiLiate is on the propaganda train.

69. Yes, the Raiders started off great
Kerry Collins was right on the money. But he got flustered after Wilfork's turnover, and that changed the momentum of the game.


Randy Moss is amazing, but the pats adjusted and Collins didn't. Unlike Brady, who passes the ball to everybody (reminds me a lot of Montana), Collins kept trying to go back to Moss, even if he was double-covered.

I think the Raiders are going to have a good offense this year. As far as the defense, that's needs to be worked on.
