Playoff Predictions

[VikingJuice]

I used it all the time when I coached football.

Did you spank men on the butt?

I preferred to pat them on the shoulder pads or helmet to accomplish the same thing.  It's all done as a macho action though, there are no lingering hands or squeezing.  That's just wrong!

That didn't answer my question.  I didn't ask what you prefered to do, I asked if you did.

I didn't like it when it happened to me, so no.

I'm trying to think of a witty spanking remark, but I just can't.  Sorry.

Spank you very much for not burdening us with one.

NFC                                                AFC
1)PHI                                              1)IND
2)MIN                                             2)NE
3)ATL                                             3)SD
4)AZ                                               4)BAL
5)DAL                                             5)KC
6)DET                                             6)PIT

The only reason I picked the Giants for the NFC East is because McNabb is on the cover of Madden 2006, and the Madden Curse may destroy him.

I would love to see the Panthers make it back to the Superbowl.  I don't doubt their depth... even if Foster, Davis, and Smart all go down, I ripped much ass in my fantasy league last year with Nick Goings... who still plays for them.  In fact, I even tried to get a Goings jersey, but NFL.com wouldn't personalize a Panthers jersey for me.  *shrug*  And I see Minnesota beating Indy in the Superbowl because Minnesota's defense is for real this year.  They'll be good enough.

Keep your eyes open for an Eric Shelton jersey soon. He's the rookie out of Louisville who will likely start in the event that Foster goes down with his yearly injury. Smart can't carry the rock worth a shit and Davis is going through a difficult recovery from Micro-fracture surgery(which didn't work for Terrell Davis and ended his career). I DO like Goings but he reminds me of Anthony Johnson many years back with CP(I think that was his name). He moves the pile well, picks up the short yardage and all, but doesn't have much if any break away speed. I once heard a phrase that fits him well: "If you need three yards, he'll get you three, if you need 10 yards..........he'll get you three!"

Minnesota is possibly going to struggle for at least part of the year offensively because the coverages will roll toward Nate Burleson. He isn't a legit #1 WR and will struggle to find open ground. Troy Williamson will stretch the defenses but he has apparently struggled a lot in camp from what I've read and they're not sure he'll be ready to start just yet. His route running is quite suspect, which was the ONLY knock on him in the Pre-Draft scouting reports. When he does figure it out, WOW and WOW!! He regularly runs 4.3s and has been clocked as low as 4.21 once. I don't see Minnesota doing it this year. But I DO see them making several serious runs in the next 3 seasons at least.

Also, their linebacking core sucks ass. D-Line and Secondary will carry the defensive efforts all year.

I wish the Colts were better on defense because it would be an AWFUL shame to waste that exceptional offense on a D that gives up 30+ a game. As much as it pains me to say it, NE is still the most complete team in the league. I just freakin' hate them though.

Did you actaually use the phrase "carry the rock"?  Are you going to go third person on us? Ursus don't roll like that...
Ahahahahaha...

Is that phrase a little too 1990's for you or something? I used it all the time when I coached football.

I learned al of my sports lingo from my dad and grandfather. So I sound like someone from either the 19060's or the 1930's...

[Grumpus]

My guess' for what it's worth

AFC
Top seed: Patriots
Second seed: Colts
Third seed: Chargers
Fourth seed: Ravens
Fifth seed: Steelers
Sixth seed: Jets

NFC
Top seed: Lions (ha, just kidding, sorry eo000)
Second seed: Atlanta
Third seed: Green Bay
Fourth seed: Seattle
Fifth seed: St Louis
Sixth seed: Minnesota

Super Bowl: The Eagles win win it all this year.

Ps. Nick Goings was a awsome mid-season pick-up last year

I save my Superbowl Prediction for the week after the Thanksgiving games end (so Thanksgiving games Thursday, then that Sundays games I make predictions). 

For 3 years Running Successfully Called Ravens, Patriots, and Bucs, the last two years have been bonuses as far as I'm concerned 



bonus points to anyone that can identify all items on Top of the bookcase

Dunno.  But excellent Pennsylvania poster.

[eo000]

looks like the three post superbowl SI books, a tom brady bobble head, a framed tom brady card, two patriots footballs, and a patriots pennant. it looks like there's something in front of the bobble head, maybe a couple more brady cards

[jonmori]

It's actually a framed PA jigsaw puzzle that goes nicely with it's Maryland counterpart on the other side of the wall.

So close, you missed the two Stadium models (Foxboro and Gillette) and the official Foxboro field dirt, and the Patriots beer mug

I knew it was Foxboro field dirt, but I didn't want to show off.

I was going to say it looks like a bunch of Patriot shit that would never make it's way into my house EVER!!
