I know what Wanny is not all that great of a coach, but we have a team that can acually recover from his mistakes. (i'm praying we get a new coach)

As for other Teams.

Denver- Overrated. They've played teams that suck (Oakland, i don't know what happened to you)

Eagles-Dn't know whats wrong with ya McNabb, but your ****in up the team.

Patriots- A Sorta decent team who really hasn't gotten it together since their last super bowl run.

Falcons- Without Vick, there are no Falcons

Raiders- Great groups of players but they are just getting older and are not playing like when they are younger. Oakland is starting to remind me of an NFL retirement home.

Colts-I gotta give them props, this team is really kickin some ass right now. But i wanna see how they do against Tampa.

Buccaneers-They've been kickin ass but they can't get coky or they will have another Carolina incident

Vikings-This is a real team. Een without Culpepper they can win game very well. Watch out for these guys.

Cheifs- Very good Team but i want them to face a real challenge.

Ravens- The only good thing on that team is Jamal Lewis. Everything else is....meh

Texans- Beat Miami becuase of stupid plays and Miami was not connecting bt that was luck, as you can tell

Chargers- Looks like another year of dissapointment

Redskins- Those skins are doing alright. Don't think they will last though.

Jets- Fire....Your....Coach!!!!!!

Giants- A team that has very good strengths but will probably make it to the playoffs but not all the way.

Saints- Same as Chargers

If i forgot one, well srry all i can think of ass of now.

Denver is 4-0 without playing well...even in their 31-10 domination of Oakland they did not play a complete game with everyone in the game. Before you give me the "they almost lost to Detroit" arguement, realize that the game was an obvious trap, coming between two highly emotional and important games against divisional opponents. Although Denver hasn't played great, Jake Plummer has looked calm and much better than he did in Arizona, and Clinton Portis has been unstoppable in limited action.

I know I'm biased in making this statement, before you call me on that. But if you don't believe me, I'm thinking you will be at about 2:00 Mountain time on Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs lick their wounds from loss 1 of their 2003-2004 season.

Welcome to the forums Wiegraf.

The Chiefs/Broncos game will be really good. I also would have to say the Broncos will pull it out. But it will be close.

Bond · 10-05-2003, 03:58 PM

Wooooooooooo! Packers win! 35-13.

If we can beat the Chiefs next week... some great things may be starting.

Thank you Bond.

As far as the Broncos\Chiefs game goes...it's easier to run back a punt when the last two guys who have a shot at tackling you get taken out by an illegal block in the back. This may seem like I'm just mad that my team lost, but If you've seen the replay, you know what I'm talking about.

Ah, but what the hell. The good thing about this game is that it was a classic, and since they're divisional opponents we'll see another one, later this year.

But on a non-Broncos note, I have to say that it looks like Green Bay has turned it around--Seattle has a young athletic defense and Favre just shredded it. And Dallas, suprisingly, looks like a possible playoff contender in the up-for-grabs NFC East.

Well, no matter what happens, this looks like a very entertaining season.

I'm still not a believer in the Cowboys. Their only quality win came against the Giants who basically gave them that game anyway...I think the Eagles will knock them down a notch in the division as the Eagles try to climb back to the top themselves.

I was really disappointed with the Eagles yesterday...they could have lost at the end of the game for the second week in a row. I guess it's the young secondary....I just hope things get better, they're coming back. I agree that they'll beat the Cowboys as well.

Stonecutter · 10-06-2003, 09:54 PM

Agreed, but they're still not as overated as the Vikings.

New Powah Rankings sometime this week.

Wiegraf · 10-07-2003, 11:39 AM

Well, Im gonna come with my power rankings, for the top teams in the league..I am bored, so might as well bust these out.

1) Indianapolis Colts--Comeback win vs Tampa sealed it, although the call they won it on was bogus.
2) Tampa Bay Buccaneers--They still are one of the best teams despite 2 losses--expect them to come back hungry.
3) Kansas City Chiefs--Since they beat Denver "fair and square" (CLIP!) they take this spot, tho I think they'll have trouble in Green Bay.
4) Denver Broncos--The Vikings are overrated and the Broncos did nearly go into KC and win, so there you go. Denver will have tests tho, with Pittsburgh this week and Minnesota the next.
5) Carolina Panthers--Suprised? Dont be. This team can run the football, has an athletic defense, and is starting to really learn how to win. They're a tough draw for anyone.

the rest of the top 10:

6) Miami Dolphins
7) Minnesota Vikings
8) Tennessee Titans
9) Buffalo Bills
10) Philadelphia Eagles

The Germanator · 10-07-2003, 12:06 PM

Wow, that game last night was ridiculous! I don't care if the Bucs cry about that "leaping" penalty, they deserve to lose if they can't hold a 21 point lead with 4 minutes to go. I guess the vaunted D can only play 56 minutes...Manning and Harrison just picked them apart, great stuff.

And Wiegraf, just a quick question about your rankings...How do you have the Bills above the Eagles, when the Eagles just beat the Bills last week and the Bills can barely beat the Bengals? Just curious.
