Unofficial Island 2010 NFL Thread

[suddenseer]

Well, the best part of my year is back. I love to participate in gladiator sports by proxy.
Today, I will be watching Bengals @ Pats. I am not sure of the later game. I may try to stay awake for Redskins/Cowboys action. Any predictions? Would anyone else want to post a weekly pool type sheet tba Tuesday morning? Just for fun of course. Maybe for an 'offcial' Island football guru header? I love Sept/Oct. Baseball season ending. High school football on Friday nights. College on Saturdays, NFL, Baseball Suundays. I dont leave the tv these months.

Go Bills. I have to say it, even though they suck.

[NQ6U]

Feh. Football puts me to sleep.

With my Bucs on track to have another season below .500 and the embarrassing amount of man love for Tim "The 3rd String QB & Not Even Jesus Can Fix That" Tebow, I'm not sure I'll be able to stomach an entire football season.

It was painful to watch the Bengals get stomped by the Pats. 38-24. I had the Reds/Pirates game on the little second screen. I switched over to catch the last inning. The reds were ahead 1-0 top of the 9th based loaded, full count. The relief staff could not slam the door shut. The Pirates went on to avoid the sweep 3-1. Not a good day for Cincinnati big leauge teams.

Considering that the Reds won both the first two games of the series in extra innings by one run... get over it.

The bullpen blowing the lead in the late innings? Been there, done (watched enough of) that this season alone...

i am happy as the steelers started off this season right.

The reds may be 7 games ahead if St, Louis loses. It has been 20 years since I have heard magic number and Reds in the same sentence. I am a happy camper. Hey this is a NFL thread!!

Jeff Reed's life might have been in danger after the end of regulation. Mr. Automatic missing a 40 yarder?

That said... of course my wife was watching the Pirate game, and was flipping back and forth. And since they won, she had to watch the post game show. So when a commercial hits and she flips to see what's happening in OT... the network had already switched to the late afternoon game, and was just replaying the winning play for the rest of the world. By the time she calls me to run inside and see what happened, and I drop everything, of course I missed it.

I'm sure it will be on the 11:00 news though.

These things happen when you live with a baseball fanatic.

It's not that I'm rooting FOR the Reds... but I'm definitely rooting AGAINST the Cardinals, specifically, La Russa and his hitting coach.

And it's nice to know that it's possible for a small market team to stockpile enough talent to make a run for the playoffs and succeed. To bad that despite their lip service, that's clearly not the Nutting's goal.

But like you said, this IS a football thread.

A True Fan(atic) doesn't care about the, ah, tragic number (good name for it).

We concentrate on the few positives. For example: How about that Neil Walker? And to think that the current management tried to bury him in the minors because he was drafted by the previous managment (the schmucks).

I think that by the end of spring training, between him, McCutcheon, Tabata, Alvarez, and recent trade acquisition Chris Snyder, we're back to having half of a great team. Of course, that's the problem... we only have half of a great team.

But we really should start a different thread on the tragedy across the river, and let this one get back to foooootball.

The Steelers are looking good so far.... for sure.

[W3WN]

Well the Pirates used to be a partially owned by the city < snip > And look where it got them.

But don't get me started.

[W1GUH]

NFL? You mean the season starts before the World Series....well, I'll be!

[WØTKX]
