Balta1701 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 09:44 AM) I feel bad for Brady Quinn because he's going to the Raiders. Hey, there are still what, 4 teams without a win? Tampa Bay might have a need for him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 11:44 AM) I feel bad for Brady Quinn because he's going to the Raiders. May be a homer call, but I would rather have Troy Smith than Brady Quinn any day of the week. Oh and the #1 pick in last years draft: 1 sack Mark Anderson (pick 159):5.5 sacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Anderson has more sacks because the Bears have a better D than Houston does. Williams is probably double-teamed on every snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 07:07 PM) Mark Anderson (pick 159):5.5 sacks As a whole I think the upper half of first round picks are overrated. Sure, you get a helluvan athelete, and in most cases, a helluva player, but you also cough up a s***load of money. I really like to see when the Bears have a bunch of 2nd-4th round picks, as Angelo seems to have a real good grasp on those picks. With Grossman's success, his first round pick track record is looking a little bit better, but there still have been some fairly big misses.

GoodAsGould Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Still the leader of our defense(Urlacher) was a first rounder and the leader of our offense(Grossman) was a first rounder. 1st rounders are mostly over-paid overall.... but there is also a reason they are in the 1st round as well.

Brian Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) What a borefest tonight. P.S. Rachel Nichols said during a report today that someone on Baltimore leads the NFL in sacks with 5.

There aren't even any sacks or hard hitting plays it's basically just bad quarterback play and running backs falling down after 2 yard runs.

Gene Honda Civic Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Thank goodness the Ravens are gonna finally take it in the ass.

whitesoxfan101 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 It's amazing to me the NFL is so popular. The games and product are a mediocre suckfest to be honest, and the only teams I've seen all year that looked like they were any more than mediocre are the Bears, Chargers, Eagles, Colts, and Jaguars. That leaves 27 of 32 teams. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 If the Bears don't AT LEAST make the Super Bowl this year, it's an embarassment for the franchise. The "parody" (mediocrity) that is the NFL leaves them a wide open road to the crown, since Philly is the only team in the NFC other than the Bears that have shown anything this year, and even the AFC only appears to have a few legit squads.

I'd say there is 3-4 good teams in the NFC: Chicago, Philly, Dallas, Seattle. And numerous good teams in the AFC: Indy, Jaxsonville, New England, San Diego, Denver, Baltimore, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your lists, Dallas has no quarterback right now, Seattle hasn't recovered from the loss of Hutchinson, Brady has nobody to throw the ball, and was handed that game by a horrible Miami team, Denver has no offense, and Baltimore has no offense. And who the hell is etc? The NFL, as usual, has 25 or so teams that completely SUCK, which is why I don't understand the popularity of the product of mediocrity. Right now, you have the Bears, Eagles, Chargers, Colts (sort of), Jacksonville, and a pile of poop. I'm sure another team or two will emerge, but this league overall has a crap product.

The Patriots are still a very solid team, and will win 11 games and the AFC East(and yeah, I'm kind of backing off my preseason prediction of Miami winning the East...looks like my jinx has worked wonders so far ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not watch games that don't involved the good teams i mentioned (I didn't watch tonight's game at all, for example, however the box score makes it obvious it was ugly).
