My NFL Week 1 Picks
#6030681 - 09/05/06 09:15 AM (17 years, 4 months ago) |
|
|
Just finished filling out my picks for the Illegal Football Pool at work. Its simple, a straight pick-'em, with the tie-breaker being the combined score of the monday night game. 5 bucks to get in, usually 20-25 people play, so if you win once a season you come out even, or a little ahead. Last year, a 17 year old GIRL won twice. Her grand strategy? She picked the team with the better looking quarterback. I spent hours watching NFL live and didnt win once. I got second twice. (No Prize, Fuckers)
Anyway...My picks. Winners are in bold, obviously.
Miami @ Pittsburgh - Miami will pull this out. No Big Ben, and Duante will want to come out hot. Time for Ronnie Brown to show what he can do.
Baltimore @ Tampa Bay - Steve Mcnair, baby...
Denver @ St. Louis - I really hate the Broncos, but they seem to get it done every year. I dont see St. Louis doing much at all this year.
Buffalo @ New England - Tom Brady/Bellicheck @ home? 'nuff said.
Philly @ Houston - Look for Donovan to have a big game to show he doesnt need TO. Does anyone know who's rushing the ball for the Texans?
New Orleans @ Cleveland - I think Drew Brees will look much better behind the line than Aaron Brooks; if he can see over it, that is. This one is a close one. I can see Thievland pulling it off, if I didnt think Charlie Frye really really sucked.
Seattle @ Detroit - C'mon...Really. Detroit will be better this year, but they arent beating Seattle in week one, dome or no dome.
Jets vs. Tennesee - This one is a push. Both these teams suck. I give it to the Titans since their at home.
Cincinnati at KC - KC is a tough place to play, but the Bengals are that much better.
Chicago @ Green Bay - I have alot of money riding on this one with the packers freaks at work. Hopefully I can fleece them this year...
Dallas @ Jacksonville - Byron Leftwich will make a good step up this year. The Jags will suprise some people.
SF @ Arizona - Arizona is another team on the rise. That receiving core is scary, and if Warner and Edge can stay healthy, they should content for a playoff spot. (!)
Indy @ Giants - After all the chokes and playoff disasters, Peyton Manning is still the best regular season QB I've ever seen. And Indy's defense will stifle the Giants. This one will be ugly.
Minnesota @ Washington - Just because I hate the Viqueens. I really really do.
San Diego @ Oakland - Oakland is so fucked. All those players suck, Randy Moss included. They have no QB to speak of, no rush to speak of, a senile owner, and terrible defense. I feel sorry for Art Shell, who's actually a decent coach. Phillip Rivers will do just enough, good first game for him.
So there you have it. The first few weeks of the season are always the hardest, because you dont have alot to work with. You really cant tell about teams until week 5 - 6. The bears were 1-3 last season after week 4, and look how they ended up...

i dont think so... KC has a pretty week defense.. not to mention that Carson has many more weapons than Daunte..
i def think u should go with Carson. My opinion... unless im against u in the fantasy week.. then stick culpepper back there

I agree with every single pick except one - Bucs are gonna slam the Ravens.

i agree.. i think tampa bay will beat up on the ravens
i actually think the redskins will lose their opening to the vikings after they went 0-4 in preseason
other than those i agree.

If Big Ben was playing the score would have been even more lopsided...I'm thinking 34-10

Not necessarily.
A Steelers QB really just has to make a few key throws and hand the ball off, like what Batch did.
Probably would have been about the same.

Wrong
You will see more of a vertical passing game this year. Look at Bens stats....he had the best yards per completion percentage in the NFL last year....he throws one of the best deep balls in the NFL.
Look at the 3 playoff games that were won last year....they were all won on Bens arm.
Batch is a good veteran backup....had Ben played it the outcome would have been the same...but the score wouldn't have been close.
Everyone goes with what the media says and its pathetic....Ben does more then manage a game

No all the steelers need is few calls from the zebras, like they always been getting, didn't miami get robbed on one, typical
but anyways, you'll see the seahawks continue the dominance of last year,as far as I'm concerned no team has proven to hang with the Hawks,
Yeah I like the bucs over the ravens,
out all those picks what team are you most for sure on? because I almost won a 5 game parley at sports interact, putting down 60 would of netted me over 900 dollars, and barely lost one game out of the 5.

my landslide picks are:
the eagles over the texans the titans over the jets the chargers over the raiders the seahawks over the lions
maybe do a 4 team parley on those.

Why dont you cry about the pass interfence call that wasn't called when Cedric Wilson had his arms pulled down while going up for a pass....we get that and its ANOTHER touch down.
Fucking Seafag fans....I'll be suprised if they win 7 games this year.

and the reason Nick Saban was so tenative about throwing the flag on that play was that he knew...and even says himself...that had he thrown the flag...and the call was overturned the Steelers could have run a minute or two more off the clock and still ended up with the same result....
Had that been something that he actually wanted to call he would have ran out there and mad a big deal about it.
What it boils down to is Saban threw the flag to appease the fans....he didn't actually want to challange the play.

it was the most horribly and lopsided officiated game there ever was,
I'm not crying, I'm just telling the facts, all the officials were AFC and one actually lived in the area, plus it was a home game, no way was that a fair game
I mean come on they were penalizing our quarterback for hitting u guys too hard, OUR QUARTERBACK
also I can site many examples throughout the course of the game in which it was badly officiated, don't generalize the details of how the steelers won their bought super bowl. They ripped us 3 scores and spotted the steelers 2 scores, and cheated us on field position and gave the steelers excellent field position. It was rigged from the start
and I guarantee they were a fluke, they felt they need vindication because they felt cheated against Indy and also because they made a good wild card run, but hey that don't justify the Hawks getting ripped from a fair called game. I also guarantee Pittsburgh will tank it this year, it will be Cinni in their devision this year hands down, and they'll dominate Pittsburgh,

I dont think the even watched the game honestly
There was 1 bad call...that went against the Seafags
All the other penelties have been discussed and were valid....its nobodies fault but your own that you believe the bullshit that fat lump of shit Holmgren spews.

you can't even back up what you say...I'll shred it
all those "questionable" penalties have been reviewed over and over...they were even replayed on the NFL Network with Mike Pereira the head of officiating.
He explained why each call was the correct call...I'm sorry if you listen to what John I hate the Steelers because of the Immacualte Reception Madden says....Madden was wrong and everyone knows it. The better team won that game

Exactly what you're saying...that "any QB can be successful" with the Steelers
The fact remains that it isn't true..
Miami sucks....they're overrated....that was evident last night when Charlie Batch of all people threw for 3 TD's.

you haven't back shit up
Darrel Jackson, clear touchdown, called back due to a pushoff that wasn't really anything,
Ben Rothlesburger, did not penatrate the goal line, our defense is engineered to stop teams in the red zone which exactly what happened
also in the first half, a hold pentalite was called on us with no varifable evidence, negated a good return back, actually this happened 3 times throughout the course of the game
3rd quarter we marched down, had a TD ripped from us, a blantly stupid hold call on Locklear, Locklear clearly did not hold, but the result was erasing another TD,
the dirty hit call on our quarterback, straight garbage, our quarterback made a great stop
there were others, but that was just on the top of my head,

1st. A pushoff by the offense when the ball is in play is PASS INTERFERENCE...if you had any football knowledge whatsoever you'd know this
2nd Roethlisberger broke the plan of the endzone...there have been plenty of pictures floating around clearly showing this.
3. Every single holding call that was "in question" was reviewed by the head of officiating on television and each was deemed a hold....its crystal clear to see if you take off your seafag glasses.
Every questionable call except for the penalty on Hassleback has been review and discussed with the head of officiating of the NFL and each was proven to be the correct call.

you forgot to mention Locklear hold call, the most important one, what do you got to say on that one huh
also the pushoff for pass interference is inconsistent in how the league has been calling previous games, Torry Holt makes a living doing those same types of things. They always give the receiver the benefit of the doubt when making a break for the ball.
Roethlisberger clearly did not break the plain, I watched the reply numerous times, it clearly shows him comming up short
also if you are going to call ticytac holds on our team with no varifable evidence, I think you have to do the samething the other way, as Pittsburgh was clearly holding on our defense, we're the #1 sack defense in the league, your saying they didn't generate any hold plenties, please
I don't care what the league has to say, or the media, for they were hating on the Hawks before hand anyway, their just as much apart of it as anyone, they even had us being dominated by Carolina, and you seen what happened in that game

do you even know what holding is in the NFL....he's clearly getting beat and holding him....Haggans has him beat and he's grabbing him from behind
I'm sorry your team just got outplayed....they are the correct calls...as stated by the NFL.

no that is why you failed to mention it the first time, he did not hold him back either,
and besides what about the clear horse collar no call on Shaun Alexander the ensuing play, that would also set us up for a TD,
come on dude the list goes on, they're going to spot little incidental contact as a hold but clearly overlook the obvious horse collar the next play,
Pittsburgh is really selling this one, and it will show this year,

Nothing will epitomize Seattle as much as SEA vs. GB in the playoffs when in OT, Hasselbeck said "We'll take the win" on the coin flip and then Harris took his pass back for the win.
Seattle, LOL.

you're obviously just a moron....I've provided visual evidence which clearly shows why the correct call was called....and as I said before...each play was reviewed by the head of officiating and each was deemed correct...
I guess you're right on these calls and people that are actually paid to make the correct calls are wrong

I didn't write this but I think the Seafag fan here needs to see it
Why Seattle lost the superbowl
1. On plays when there wasn't any penalties...one team made plays...and one team didn't.
2. The Refs didn't give up the longest run in Superbowl history.................................................Seattle did.
3. The Refs didn't get fooled out of their jocks on a 43 yd trick play, Randle to Ward for a TD, Seattle did.
4. The Refs didn't miss two field goals.......................................................................................Seattle did.
5. The Refs didn't drop 4 very catchable balls in KEY SITUATIONS..........................................Seattle's TE did.
6. And when the same Seattle TE finally caught a pass, he took 3 steps, was hit by the Safety and fumbled. ....But luckily for Seattle, "The Refs" ruled it Incomplete.
7. The Refs didn't carelessly let the 1st half clock tick from 48 seconds ALL THE WAY DOWN to 13 seconds before FINALLY running their next play.................................................................Seattle did.
8a. On this play, 54 yds from a FG, 13 secs. left, who foolishly heaved it deep, trying for a TD, rather than a shorter play & timeout to set up an easier FG try which then missed by just a couple feet ?.....Seattle did.
8b. Then in 2nd half, 50 yds from a FG on 3rd down, Seattle boneheadedly does the same thing again, they go deep, ignoring trying to get a little closer for the FG which, again missed by a couple feet.
9a. On 3rd and 28, Pitt QB Big Ben MAKES a play, scrambling & completing a 37 yd pass to Seattle's 2.
9b. On 3rd and 18, Seattle's QB misreads Pitt's zone defense and throws an interception at Pitt's 5.
10. Speaking of 3rd downs, Pitt converted several 3rd downs with plays like the 37 yarder above, QB Runs when nobody was open, a nifty shuttle pass, a shoestring catch by Ward, etc.
...However, Seattle was only 5 for 17 on 3rd downs, with plays like the INT above, dropped passes, wrecklessly going deep in short yardage situations, etc.
11. Who got a break when Pitt WR Ward dropped an easy TD in the endzone? ......................Seattle did.
12. Who got a break when Pitt CB Taylor dropped an easy INT early in the game? ................Seattle did.
13. With a Pittsburgh WR wide open in the endzone for a TD that would've put Pitt up 21 - 3, who got a break on a gift-wrapped INT from Pitt QB Big Ben?..................................................................................Seattle did.
14. Who got a break when the refs missed Sea. Center level Pitt's DE after play was over?....Seattle did
15. The Refs didn't fail to step out of bounds to stop the clock late in BOTH halves..................Seattle did.
16. Late in the game, needing a TD and FG, in no particular order and currently in easy FG range, who foolishly ignored the FG to fling it deep, throwing incomplete and losing the ball on downs ?.................Seattle did.
17. Who kept repeatedly punting through the endzone giving Pitt the ball at the 20?...............Seattle did.
18. Who outrushed Seattle and contained their star RB Stephen Alexander (the NFL's leading rusher) enough to force several 3rd downs? Pittsburgh.
19. Seattle...the sum total of all the above, your bad coaching decisions & clock mismanagement, breaks on big Pitt mistakes, breaks from the Refs, and your inability to make big plays adds up to...............NO EXCUSES!!!

i dont think it would have been more lopsided.. pittsburgh has a completely different philosophy than most other teams.. they rely on their defense to shut down opponents.. then they just play smart football.. pound the ball with the running game, and then just hope the QB's make smart throws and dont turn over the ball
Big ben is good.. but not as good as he is made to look. we are talkin about a team who wins games with tommy maddox (they made him look incredible).. charle batch is 3-0 as a steeler.

IMO Carson Palmer is the best QB in the league.. him and Peyton Manning up there at the top.

The Steelers were 6-10 with Maddox with basically the same team. Thats how the Steelers were even in position to draft ben. When Maddox started last year the Steelers were 0-2

I'm a Packers fan and am willing to admit they are shitty. The last time they were in the playoffs, though, they beat your Seahawks.

They're not allowed, the state of wisconsin would revolt from the union.

OK let me attempt to give a more politically correct response to the result of super bowl XL
If the shoe was on the other foot, the majority of our fans would be yelling the same crap as these Pittsburgh morons, we would be doing everything the Pittsburgh fans are doing right now, trying to justify our win and say all these calls were correct and the breaks just went our way, but that still doesn't justify anything, the fact as it stands Seattle got an extremely biased called game, I don't know if it was fixed, but I know it was extremely biased for some reason or another, and anyways also the fact of the matter we wouldn't never get calls like that, Pittsburgh has been notorious in getting breaks in the past by refs even before super bowl XL, my uncle used to hate Pittsburgh for that fact,
Now Geordi thinks hes making a case here, but if you clearly see in both accounts that he presented that their was no infractions made, also the angles are doctored up as someone mentioned, if you look at another angle the guy jumped offsides which allowed him to turn the corner on our tackle but even at that, the tackle did not impede the rushers course at all, it was a complete phantom hold as all the others, hold calls are good because you can call them anytime and they can kill drives and erase points, just watch when it happens to your team and you'll see Seattle fans point, I think everyone does really see the truth but their not being sympathetic or don't care enough to pay enough attention, but just watch cause I'm not going to be sympathetic either when comes your teams time and you'll see how much of a joke the NFL can be.
also you listed examples of how your RB made a breakaway, and your team made some great plays, so what, our team made more by far, if you look at the stats of game, you can clearly see that we dominated in every facet as accept scores, why is that, because Bill Levy and company took it upon themselves to make critical fluke calls at critical junctures of our drives, he basically wouldn't allow our team to score, we weren't dominating and then shooting ourselves in the foot, we were getting worked by the refs., simple as that
even if you are going to actually be that stupid to say that hold against Locklear was a good call, then you still haven't answered my question about the blatantly obvious horse collar no call on Alexander on the ensuing play, so whatever way you look at it, their is no way that the Hawks should've got ripped on a TD on that drive, simply no way, but Bill Leavy found a way which clearly reflected how biased he was calling the game,
also Ben Rothliesburgher did not cross plane of the goal line, thats why when he went down, he picked the ball back up and tried to cross, because he knew he was short, also the guys upstairs called him short, but for some odd reason the refs overruled the upstairs ruling, go figure
also on another drive Ben was allowed to call a Timeout when the clock clearly ran out keeping the drive alive,
also these critical holds at critical times that were getting called on us, but Pittsburgh were holding more than Seattle, but not one hold call was called against them, why was that
its going to be sad for the NFL because alot of fans were disappointed by that superbowl, not just from the Seattle area, but from all areas of the country, many neutral fans were even saying that was the worst super bowl that was ever played, and things like this will continue because no one in media has the ballz to speak the truth, Paul Taglibeau is a fucking moron

You're a fucking crack pot......I said it 3 other times
All the questionable calls were reviewed by the head of officiating. The only call they said was incorrect was the penalty on Hasslebeck...that was it....they explained each call and why it was the correct call. The Seahawks got outplayed....thats the bottom line....cry all you want it won't change the fact the the Pittsburgh Steelers are the WORLD CHAMPIONS.

Goddamn I was wrong...you also forgot to predict Carolina vs. Atlanta in your original post, madtowntripper, I thought carolina would take it so I was wrong there..
I ended up 10-6 pickwise.
