View Full Version : The Week 2 Surprises in the NFL, OH BOY!!!!!!
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 07:47 PM GB scoring 48 points
Vikings losing after winning 15-0
Broncos going for 2 when they could have sent game into OT
Skins coming back to win after trailing 24-15
Bears Losing to the Panthers
Big C 09-14-2008, 07:49 PM Seahawks losing to the Niners
Raiders bouncing back from their Monday night debacle
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 07:54 PM I was at a party with a friend of mine who came down from Minnesota, he's a fan but not like a real big fan but he does watch the games. We couldn't believe their offense, if they got Favre and a tight end, and receivers in the off-season, they would be a superbowl calibur team. Even if they didn't pick up a receiver, having Favre would make up for it and he could run his own plays, making 3rd option/4th option receivers look great. Obviously that didn't and wouldn't happen to trade a great, complete player like Favre to a team in the same division. But Minnesota needs a QB bad. Jackson is young but he doesn't have a arm or pocket presence at all. I think they will be 7-9 or 8-8 this season unless they fix the same mistakes on offense they were making last season. They should of beat a weak Indy offense today, Manning didn't look like himself at all. And I like Brad Childress, from being a former Eagles o coach and I think he's not bad. He's still learning, he needs a QB like Manning who can handle the offense himself.
Brian Damage 09-14-2008, 07:54 PM The Viking need to make a change at QB and fast. They are too talented to be 0-2.
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 07:58 PM I agree BD. Way too much talent being wasted. Like my signature.
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 08:01 PM The Viking need to make a change at QB and fast. They are too talented to be 0-2.
I think it's more the coach than the QB
Brian Damage 09-14-2008, 08:04 PM I think it's more the coach than the QB
I think it is a combination, but if your qb can't make plays down the field, you have to rely on what is working offensively and that right now is their running game.
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 08:05 PM The coach is part of it, but he doesn't throw the ball, or isn't in the pocket lol.
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 08:12 PM The coach is part of it, but he doesn't throw the ball, or isn't in the pocket lol.
True but he doesn't make the dumb a$$ calls like-"a 50 yd pass on 3rd and 9. That was not Jackson's fault, it was the coach
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 08:23 PM Yeah that was stupid lol. Solomon, did you see towards the end where Jackson faked to the right and turned to the left to throw and the Indy guy was right there? He should of thrown it out of bounds. Oh and Favre vs. the Pats. When it was 3rd and 5 or 3rd and 2 and they were down 16-10, Favre took a sack for 20 YARDS lol I was like c'mon Brett. The Pat guy took down 2 Jets on the play if you seen it lol.
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 09:29 PM One more Surprised
"niners scoring 33 pts on the road"
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 09:32 PM Did my ears just deceive me or did I hear John Madden say Jim Brown is the greatest football player ever? Great player, but I'll take Montana, Jerry Rice, Emmitt, Unitas and others over him. Barry Sanders > Brown and Brown was a nice running back.
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 09:39 PM Did my ears just deceive me or did I hear John Madden say Jim Brown is the greatest football player ever? Great player, but I'll take Montana, Jerry Rice, Emmitt, Unitas and others over him. Barry Sanders > Brown and Brown was a nice running back.
Maybe he means Best RB ever
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 09:44 PM Oh maybe. Even then, he is a great player but i'll take LT, Emmit, Barry Sanders and Sweetness lol- Walter Payton, over JB. Nothing against him, even with great players, their are players- running backs even greater.
icecream 09-14-2008, 10:12 PM GB scoring 48 pointsthat's not really a surprise, everyone knows the Lions will win the Super Bowl when hell freezes over :lol:
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 10:14 PM Lions don't have a bad team. They have a nice offense but a horrible defense lol. I like Kitna, Calven Johnson and Roy Williams are real good and they have not bad rbs but not explosive ones like LT and Adrian Peterson.
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 10:25 PM that's not really a surprise, everyone knows the Lions will win the Super Bowl when hell freezes over :lol:
The fact that they won wasn't a surprise, it was the 48 points. I dam sure didn't expect them to score that many points today.
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 10:27 PM Me neither. Aaron Rogers is on the ball, in his first 2 starts ever following in Favre's giant footsteps lol.
mriggles 09-14-2008, 10:50 PM The fact that they won wasn't a surprise, it was the 48 points. I dam sure didn't expect them to score that many points today.
kitna was awful today...the last 21 points were cause of kitnas hidious throws...lions were up 25-24 in the 4th!!! LOL
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 10:54 PM kitna was awful today...the last 21 points were cause of kitnas hidious throws...lions were up 25-24 in the 4th!!! LOL
Sounds like you have the Sunday Ticket, I'm jealous-lol
mriggles 09-14-2008, 11:12 PM Sounds like you have the Sunday Ticket, I'm jealous-lol
Yep I am the master of the clicker, I have it down to a science!!! ;) Although I only get to utilize it 9 weeks out of the season... But it does allow me to tape the games so i can anaylze the sh*t out of them when I get home from the game

We have to meet up one day dude... LOL
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 11:42 PM We have to meet up one day dude... LOL
LOL, we defintely do. i also wish tomorrow night's game was at the Linc. you know i pick the eagles in the Yahoo Pick m right?-lol
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 11:43 PM You did? I saw 80% of ppl picked Dallas, in the MNF game lol....i was like damn
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 11:44 PM and i'm glad the game is in dallas lol. romo killed us last game in philly, and we shut em down last game in dallas with the 2 teams. so the game should be great & interesting as far as what will happen.
mriggles 09-14-2008, 11:46 PM LOL, we defintely do. i also wish tomorrow night's game was at the Linc. you know i pick the eagles in the Yahoo Pick m right?-lol
I would rather play them in philly later in the year...
It is going to be one hell of a good game...
You did tell me you were going to pick philly
mriggles 09-14-2008, 11:47 PM You did? I saw 80% of ppl picked Dallas, in the MNF game lol....i was like damn
im not surprised to be honest with you... Dallas is the trendy pick right now... If the eagles win tomorrow... they will suddenly become a hot pick...
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 11:47 PM I don't know- both teams are great, so it could go either way. But yeah, that is true about the hot pick.
Wreckless 09-14-2008, 11:48 PM I would rather us play them in Philly later in the year too MrIggles...
TVFactFan 09-14-2008, 11:54 PM im not surprised to be honest with you... Dallas is the trendy pick right now... If the eagles win tomorrow... they will suddenly become a hot pick...
I know Tony K. will be rooting for the boys and Jaws rooting for the Birds-lol
Wreckless 09-15-2008, 12:23 AM Yup lol. Although I don't see Jaws going directly for the birds. Even though he was an Eagle, he makes realistic picks. So for example, if he thinks Dallas will win, he'll pick Dallas to win, not just the Birds cause he was one lol. But he might, I don't know. That's just from seeing and listening to Jaw's picks in the post, not even on MNF- in general.
TVFactFan 09-15-2008, 12:32 AM Yup lol. Although I don't see Jaws going directly for the birds. Even though he was an Eagle, he makes realistic picks.

he knows he can never pick dallas to beat philly and show his face in this town
Wreckless 09-15-2008, 12:36 AM lol I think he's out of town more then he is in town, Jaws :lol:. Jaws is awesome but he's a lil goofy lol. He knows his sh*t though, when it comes to football. I don't think people would mind, he would only be making a pick lol. At least if he backed up why he chose Dallas, if he did, I would understand and wouldn't be mad at him for it.
