I hate my life right now.
We didn't have DE Avril for our first game, we were missing DE Clemons and CB Browner until last week, we won't have DE/OLB Irvin until after Houston, we lost WR Harvin back in camp, and we lost LT Okung for the next month or so during the 49ers game.
You lost two people? Boo. Hoo.
Also, you may want to take a peek at what we did last year.
The difference will be the Browns beating the Pats later this year.
Revenge of Hoyer the Destroyer. Aren't you glad you dodged that Mallet bullet?

Sounds good. Eagles are going to run hurry up all game, and Denver also likes to hurry up. Eagles D couldnt stop small hands, and he didnt throw a pass that went more then 8 yards in the air all night. Manning is going to wreck this defense, Eagles will get behind and Vick will be forced to throw, turnovers will happen. Broncos wont punt once all game is my guess and they only times they wont get TD's are on drives where they do something stupid like commit penalties. Never in my life have I been less excited about watching an Eagles game. Denver also only being 13 point favorites is a complete fucking joke. Manning i9s not going to let up, since the Eagles really beat him up the last time they played him. I rreally think he goeas all out all game and they score 62 to the Eagles 37.
Observations by me. There are 9 winning teams in the AFC. There are 5 winning teams in the NFC.
The Texans are the only team with a winning record with negative net points at -12. The Packers are plus 8, but are not above .500 .

Parity does not mean everybody is equal. Parity follows the well established statistical bell curve (look it up if you do not know what it is).

We should be 3-0 if our team didn't f'n choke in the last 9 minutes of the game against the Texans...

Well designed play. 11 Personnel. Safety creeps down before the snap expecting run. Ben pumps to Brown before going after Johnson (#85) who releases and streaks up the seam.
I'm conflicted, I would like to see the future AFC Champions Miami Dolphins ascend to godhood but at the same time although you are terrible I feel a loss to the Browns may end up killing you and nobody deserves that.

Oh he definitely deserves that.
parity in the NFL is a myth.

Oh Kave you used to be a good one, now you're evil.
Champ, Von, Dreesen, Tamme, Clady, Koppen.
All starters last year who have missed games. Let's not break out this broken measuring stick, it doesn't mean anything. Both teams are doing good despite the injuries.
I don't see it that way, but I guess we will find out Sunday.
Haha, I only said that because it implied that everything was rosy on our roster and so Denver deserves the pity card.
<---- This is not the face of evil.

You guys are looking at this wrong, there is tons of parity, it is just parity in that almost all the teams are really bad now. All but 4 or 5 teams are bad this year, and there really isnt one team that is totally complete. Seahawks are the closest, but their WRs are only okay and they pass less then most teams. I really think that the cap, and rising QB contracts, force teams to go cheap somewhere, and that is causing most teams to have some glaring hole.
75% of the league being mediocre or bad causes parity by default.

Speaking of injuries, I hurt my beer drinking hand workin da lift in da yard with da boys de other day.
Poor Lester just burst into tears cause he knew I'd be out of commission for a couple a weeks.

So glad we have a bye this week.
Team needs to reflect on the shitty performance on offense on Sunday. Also need to heal, to many damn injuries already. Reporters also need to tell Fraudgers he is too short and is a horrible 4th qtr QB so he comes out all pissed off week 5 and destroys the poor lions.

Yeah, it's not particularly rosy on either side, but both teams have decent depth so they can keep playing at roughly the same level even with injuries. Clearly, both sides have lost big time playmakers. If anything, it proves that the teams are well constructed.
Get well soon. At least you sound like you are toughing the injury out.
There have been more 14 win and 2 win teams in recent years than there used to be. Parity is alive, but it's alive in the middle class. There are some awful teams catching lots of losses every year, and some elite teams that feast on easy schedules

I think our WRs are more than okay, but I would agree they don't really meet the bar of making our team "complete". Neither does our offensive line, really, especially with Okung out and Breno as RT. When they're in form they do the job, though. We're also thin at TE, with two good ones and one we brought in who claims to play the position.

Should gif Redman terrible ass pass block in the 4th that cause the fumble to be returned for a td ending any chance of a comeback

I'll get there. :/
More like 90% this year.
No one looks good other than the Hawks and Denver. And people are still waiting to see if Seattle can win on the road.

Best play i've ever seen out of Worilds (#93).
Rushes, notices the Running back leak out, breaks off and chases him for the incompletion.

That's not a good look, not at all.
You're making a lot of others happy right now, and not exactly at your personal expense.

I really hope we get a 14-2 SB winner this year. I am so sick of garbage teams winning it most years.
I think he had a really good tackle on the back in the backfield as well.Best play i've ever seen out of Worilds (#93).

But yeah far and few between! And when the game was on the line defense did zero (still better than the offense which was less than zero for the game).
Let's change the topic. Too much football talk. You guys ever notice that life sucks and is not fair?
Nope. Im not seeing this.

No one's getting close to 14-2 except for the Broncos.
(And we all know that they're gonna lose in the divisional round to a team they should beat soundly because of either Peyton choking or FOXBALL)
More likely some god awful team will sneak in and make a run again.
PARITY!
Seattle is going 15-1 and is going to cruise to the Super Bowl.
Stop drinking on the street like a degenerate and get some glasses and then you might see the truth.
