THE NFL 2005-2006 Thread.

[Professor S]

I'm done with the NFL. Tonight's game was the most obviously fixed professional sports event I've ever seen.

1) Leto Sheppherd jogs while covering Terry Glenn for his first touchdown.

2) Before Roy Williams intercepts Donovan McNabb for the touchdown to win the game, #56 of the Cowboys is already running downfield to block for him. Seriously, check the replay. 56 never turns his hips to chase the ball. Plus, McNabb was looking to the right the entire time. It would have been impossible to miss Williams waiting for the pass.

And did I mention that the line was the Eagles by 3? Even if Akers made the fieldgoal to win the game the Cowboys would have covered the spread.

DONE.

I don't know about all of that, but I'm certainly done with the Eagles this year. I rarely get to watch them at college, but I've watched four games this year...Result? 0-4....I've had enough. Let the Philadelphia sports woes continue.

Go Flyers? Eh, why do I bother?

I'm not kidding, Germ. Check the replay of the interception. 56 is getting ready to block before the interception. I wish I was just overreacting.

I dont know....


I play Soccer and Hockey in competitive leagues, and after playing a game in the cold, your body sometimes gives out on you. Like in soccer. I can think of countless times were I've seen people go from a sprint down a field on a breakaway, to a slow jog, and get checked instantly.

I dont think its fixed, is what I'm trying to say.

[Perfect Stu]

strangler, dude...you're losing your mind

ive seen teams fold like cheap suitcases before that leave you thinking "WTF?", but it's not FIXED. give me a break...im just hoping that you were really drunk when you typed that

The NFL is not fixed.

I am extremely happy this year because the Denver Broncos are now 7-2 and first place in our division.

Anyways I wanted to see who you guys think will be in the playoffs.

These are my picks:

AFC
1st seed: Colts
2nd seed: Steelers
3rd seed: Broncos
4th seed: Bengals
5th seed: Patriots
6th seed: Chargers

NFC
1st seed: Panthers
2nd seed: Cowboys
3rd seed: Seahawks
4th seed: Giants
5th seed: Bears
6th seed: Redskins

I still have a bit of faith in the lions.

with Jeff Garcia, they play like ****, without, they actually have a chance.

The top 4 seeds in both conferences are the 4 division winners, thus the Giants and Bengals can't be 4s unless you move Pit and Dallas down.

NFC

1) Atlanta
2) Seattle
3) Chicago
4) New York
5) Carolina
6) Dallas

AFC

1) Indy
2) Pitt
3) Denver
4) New England
5) Cinci
6) San Diego


Season starts sunday for my Bears. I don't really think they're for real, and I expect the panthers to win, but I'd love to be wrong.
