HBT NFL '08 thread

Soooo have you eaten them yet or are you still sick with disappointment?

I ate them already, and I'm sick with disappointment AND a slight hangover. Like I said in the other thread, it was simply an implosion. But the silver lining is that Dallass lost too, and Romo is out for a month with a broken finger.

... and Romo is out for a month with a broken finger.

Just saw that. I hope he's at least back for the 2nd encounter with the redskins or we may have a tough time even getting a wildcard spot.

he'll probably be back, the reports say 4 weeks max, and we play in 5. He'll be rusty, though...shonuff.

It's a pinky for godsake. Amputate. Maybe its been the root cause for his fumbleitus.

No kidding. That has been completely RIDICULOUS!!! How 'bout a little ball security, huh?

And you know he is gona want to be back for the Giants game in a few weeks but I don't know if that is gona happen. If he pushes to get back he might break it again against the rough tough G-MEN

it's the week for NFCE upsets, baby. Browns are gonna take 'em down tonight.

 

[Homercidal]

Oh, I am pissd. The Lions played hard defense the whole game, blocking field goal and all, and the REFS steal the game away with 2 GLARING errors, one of which was even reviewed and not overturned.

I only ask that they be allowed to play under a fair system, the same as all the other teams. It was a division game too.

 

[MgMt_Home_Brew]

Just think about the nice first round draft pick you guys will be getting this off season

yeah I am hoping the Giants get a nice blow out victory again so they can just keep building the momentum!

doesnt look like thats going to ...

this doesn't look like the Giants Defense that I know

 

[MgMt_Home_Brew]

Yeah this isn't the game that I was hoping for. It was big for them to score before the half though.

It looks like the browns are controlling their offensive line nicely and that is exposing the Giants secondary weakness. But most importantly Who's tip toeing around now! haha I love watching Brandon Jacobs run like that.

Lets hope the g-men come out of the half looking a lot better.

**Edit**
Wow talk about what I did not want to see coming out of the half...

 

[HVBrewtality]

Yea... this is hard combination of the Browns just playing better than they have all year (besides the insane number of false starts) and the Giants just falling flat.

 

[98EXL]

Giants and Cowboys = not as good as everyone thought....and yeah, throw in the Redskins too....but the 'Ants, and the 'Girls are not that good considering their opponents records, so in that case, Philly and DC are the ones to watch out for

told ya. the NFCE just fell apart this week. except the eagles, but they don't count.

 

[MgMt_Home_Brew]

yeah the NFC East just got knocked down a few notches. But at least that game last night wasn't a must win, it would have been nice to win but it wasn't crucial. Now they can't sit there and talk about how amazing the Giants are and how they are undefeated because I swear when the Giants are suposed to win no questions asked... they can't

Don't get me wrong I think they are still a really good team but I just hate it (but deep down love it) when eveyone talks about how amazing the Giants are playing.

We shall see who rises to the top of the devision in November... I can't wait.

What do you guys think about Romo being out? All the ESPN guys seem to think that it might be good for the team. I wonder how that makes Romo feel and I am waiting for TO to start crying again becuase people are being mean to his quarterback... his teammate haha

 

[Evan!]

Skins are the same way, they do better when they're the underdog. The line against the rams was like 13 points, and they blew it. Everyone in the country expected them to ruin those chumps, and they couldn't do sh*t.

As for Romo, I dunno how it's good for his team. They're all a bunch of crybabies, and this'll just give them another reason to whine.

 

[uglygoat]

here we go brownies here we go!!!

did you guys see emmit laughing after the game, with the drunk fans heckling them?

hopefully those browns show up in dc this weekend.

edit: best part about that game last night was cornhoser having to shut the **** up about the browns sucking ass...

 

[Lil' Sparky]

Every team can fall into a slump. For the Giants, that's really all I can draw from their performance last night. I still think there a very good team that can win on any given Sun.

Honestly, what really impressed me about the game last night was how good the Browns looked. I don't know what clicked, but it did. Their offense looked great moving the ball - Lewis looked like the back of old and their passing game finally looked decent. And their defense came up with huge plays against a very potent offense. We'll see if they can keep it up...

Freakin' Eli. All he does is cost me money.

Emmitt got debacled. (his words, not mine)

I almost sharted when I turned that game on in the 4th qtr and saw the score.

Anyone who bets on Eli deserves to lose money. Did you see the camera shots of his eye's when he's under pressure? He looked petrified, like a scared little girl.

That's the problem. When I bet against him he takes off the skirt.

Emmitt is terrible. He averages .5 made up/mis-used words per minute. Cris Carter, too.

And then you got Shannon Sharp...

+1 I was a huge fan of his as a player, but he sucks as an analyst.

He would be fine if he had 4lbs of tongue surgically removed.

Niners making a pitch for Kitna? - Detroit Lions: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com

I hope they trade both Kitna and Williams before the 4pm deadline today. Get something for them while you can and stock up on picks for the new GM next year.

 

[Homercidal]

Frankly, I could care less who gets traded. I'm done trying to figure out how to improve the team. But I will say this; I did prefer to watch this week's QB than what I've seen of Kitna so far. Remember when Kitna was the improvement?? I guess Stanton and Orlovsky just haven't been ruined by the coaches yet.

 

[the_bird]

Why would San Fran want Kitna? He's stop-gap at best. Does Martz really think that they're close enough to competing where it's worth bringing in someone like Kitna for a year or two?
