I would recommend watching a season to get a feel for the teams, but if you are a classy individual you can just choose the Packers now.Heh, thanks for the reply! In my first post in the preseason thread, I explained a bit more, and discussed a few teams I don't particularly like, the Giants being one of those teams. My apologies kind sir

Pats had a pretty good running game going. Besides Riddles his 2 fumbles.
We can pray that some of the fresh faces we'll see will be alright? And that Ridley can hold onto the ball. And that our D helps the O score some points again.
I'm not saying things look good, but they didn't last week either.
With how pathetic the offense looked, I just question if playing not poorly is going to work going forward. The defense may have to be awesome.
Just three players with 100+ yards rushing this week (one being Pryor). That's pretty crazy.

Can't wait to beat the Patriots on Thursday.
My whole week will be made if we can beat them, even if they're potentially missing Vereen/Sudfield/Gronkowski. Allegedly they might miss Amendola too...but I'm sure that's Belicheat with a false injury report and he'll magically find what it takes to play on Thursday night.
I hope Quinton Coples comes back on Thursday night so that Brady could eat turf.

Nobody?
Jets fans having optimism after that win? What's wrong with the world?
To that, all I have to say is get fucked you filthy Patriot fan.
I am not going to say that the season is over despite an incredibly pathetic performance, but we were unable to adjust to losing our center 3 minutes into the game and the fumbles and mistakes put the final nail in the coffin. It sucks because the offense looked great in week 3 for the first half and now everything is being thrown in the toilet because our beautiful porcelain figure, who also doubles as our pro-bowl center, is out for the season. The guy we signed to replace him is supposed to be really good, but I imagine it will take at least 2 weeks for the line to get on the same page.
Situations like this are where great coaches shine because they will adapt and find a way to make it work for the next weeks game. Which means we are really fucked for Monday Night unless the Bungles choke worse than Tampa Bay (a possibility for sure).
The only silver lining is that at least this happened in week 1 and there were some decent players lying around.
The Chargers are traveling cross-country on a short week. And they are not a very good football team. Yeah, they started out hot but ended up losing the game because, well, they're not a very good football team. Rivers is a decent QB but what other offensive weapons do they have that scare you? The Eagles should and will be favored in this game.
Well I mean I've been a long casual watcher of football, so there are definitely teams I like and dislike and am familiar with personalities/players/etc, and the Packers could be included in a list of teams I like, so there's that.
One nitpicky criteria I have is that I refuse to love a team that has an indoor stadium. It just doesn't seem right. I love football as an outdoor sport, dealing with the elements, I always remember the snow games.
Choose the Hawks, friend! We've got an awesome outdoor stadium, plus Hawks Gaf is the nicest group in the thread. :^)
Didnt the Eagles have like 250 yards rushing?
Texans still had 120 yards and they were throwing the ball way more than they ran it.

Oh I agree that the Chargers dont have a ton of weapons, but I have no idea if the Eagles secondary is good or not. The 1st half they came up and jammed the Skins WR at the line since they knew RGIII could beat them deep. Once they got up 33-7 they started playing off and RGIII completed a ton of short passes. I dont see how anyone can draw anything from that. Rivers right now is a more dangerous QB then RGIII was. They also have Ryan Matthews how looked to be running hard last night. I am really worried that the Chargers so thoroughly shut down the Texans offense in the 1st half. Freeny was a monster, and their run defense looked really good. Vick was limping pretty badly by the end of the game last night. I really do hope you are right though, a 2-0 start would be beyond anyones wildest dreams going into this season.
You also have good taste in music, so that's another sign you should jump on board!
Best post in this thread.
120 yards on the ground for the Texans is a poor effort. And yes, the Eagles ran the ball, but that was all Mike Vick trickery!
Ask me and I can tell you what teams to definitely not root for.

I think New England still can pull this off, but now the Jets have a "chance" to win with Amendola being out along with Vereen and Gronk

Not plural. Just one which makes it even funnier.
he probably already has eyebrows tattooed under his eyebrows
Yeah it's the perfect injury. With so many plays and no rest, just have the fat guys go down. After that game last night, it's going to get really bad. Whenever Philly gets a little streak going, it will be the way to slow them down

The Bengals eh... I guess it wouldn't be so bad to see them win, but can I see myself loving the Bengals?? I dunno!
I am so sorry
With this offense, I don't think the defense needs to be shut-down. They just need to make some plays: sacks, fumbles, ints. It looks like they are capable of doing that.
