OFFICIAL 2010-2011 NFL season & predictions thread:

[S2M]

Wait til I show up in Heinz with my NE swag....that is going to be EPIC.

Looking forward to it. Will be a great time. First and foremost, we need a 2011 season!

I hope some big fat bratworst eating, rat piss swilling steel worker doesn't stomp a mudhole in my ass.....

You will be impressed in Heinz Field and our fanbase. You will get some boo's but other than that, I never witnessed Steelers fans making the opposing fan feel uncomfortable like Browns, Eagles, Titans or Bungles fans would. It's a very prideful electricity in the stadium. You may go back to Chowder-land with atleast a little bit of class. JFB should come to, that would be BADASS. I'd love to have you two.

He wouldn't show....he hates me.

I dispise you, and I will be there...first beer is on me...after that you are on your own.

Keep a fucking hat on that dome, Stu....I want to actually SEE the fucking game.....

Actually I have hair, not much mind you, but it cuts the glare and provides minimal insulation...though the glare is useful...I can steal the call from the opposing team and signal to the Steelers bench by cover and uncovering my noggin!

Don't act like Brady doesn't yap his pie-hold either, he does.

Talking trash isn't really the issue and never has been. The difference between Tom Brady and all these other jackasses is that Brady actually does his trash talking on the field. You won't find a single interview with Tom Brady during his entire career where he is "trash-talking" a team or a player, before or after a game. He's simply too smart for that. By the way, Larry Bird was the biggest trash talker in the history of the NBA, but he had a whole lot of hardware to back it up.

You'll always have one whack-job who talks to the media with that garbage. Joey Porter made a living out of it and continued to do it post-Steelers career. Anthony Smith was a young punk who quickly got turned off by the Steelers veterans for making such a claim about the Pats. I remember as soon as I heard Smith guaranteeing the win, I just sat down and gave a little.. "fuck..." I knew we were screwed from that point forward. Brady makes a living out of making players eat their trash.

Now the Jets on the other hand, Ryan has a whole different agenda. He speaks for his whole team while other teams just had one big mouth after the other individually. Ever watch the NFL channel? I was watching a mic'd up show and it featured Rex Ryan on the mic for about an hour. Even though I hate his big mouth that goes with his antics, he seems like a pretty fun dude by nature.

Wes Welker....comedy gold.

[S2M]

WOW!!!!

[lights1961]

my picks... will this be UPSET week or all the favorites prevail???

I see the experience of Rogers coming into play against the Falcons... advantage... falcons won first meeting...
but Green Bay now has a running game, GB defense rocks and ATL is suspect after a couple of not so good outings at the end of the year... inexperience might hurt Ryan at QB to force the issue if GB gets out to quick lead... but in the end the game will be close... GB 28-24... in last few minutes win...

Seattle/Bears... I see Bears winning here... in a not so high scoring affair... its supposed to be REALLY COLD on Sunday...and the running game will help Chicago... 17-10 Bears...

AFC...

I like the Jets Chances against Brady... but dang, BRADY just is cool under stress... 35-21 Pats... unless the Jets defense
can get to Brady early sack him a few times... etc...

Ravens Steelers... a WAR type game... both old fashion smash mouth football... maybe 13-10... I say steelers on
just guts alone... Ravens are good... but Steelers at home... an inch or two better..

lets play the games and see what happens...

AND LAST GO PACK GO...

Dude, just because I don't pick Pittsburgh to win every game, I all of a sudden don't know sports? I do NOT have a big head, but I would put my sports knowledge up against anyone's here at MR. I don't see others posting about Golf, Horse racing, NASCAR or Tennis? I can adequately talk those sports in addition to the 4 majors. I don't see you talking about the NW division in the NHL, or discussing Zenyattas 19 win race streak, or how great Jimmie Johnson is...and he SHOULD have been voted sportsman of the year....but that's ok, if he wins another championship next year, he'll be sportsman of the decade.

I just don't see why you feel the need to blast me all the time, especially regarding sports. I just don't get it. I don't slam JFB, RWF, FF, SJ, Ebake, YoungJrny, or anyone else regarding sports, except S2M, who deserves all the bashing for his fucking referee complaining. And aside from that, S2M knows a lot about sports too. I enjoy the sports banter on here, and IMO, think I can hold my own against anyone here. Hell, we have all been wrong regarding predictions. If we were so good at it, we could all quit work and just gamble all the time.

Tell you what, if ALL the underdogs win, you pay me 50 bucks. If your predictions all come true, I will pay you 50. deal?

I do NOT have a gambling problem Stu...I used to back in the day when I attended Washington State University. Roommate and I would gamble at 245A after getting home from the bar(we used to hop on the back of a slow moving freight train instead of driving or walking)..LOL...genius idea eh? anyway, we would bet on raindrops....We would sit in the living room, and when it rained, I would pick a raindrop and so would he...the first drop to arrive at the bottom of the window was the winner. We would bet 10 bucks per race. THAT is a gambling addiction my friend.

PS, missed you last night at Soto's gig. I was so piss drunk I don't remember getting home...think it was taxi, but like I said, I have NO recollection....I do remember parking lot cop chasing me around for pissing in the lot. I would piss, then he would yell at me and give chase...meanwhile when a car drove up, he had to stop and collect money, and at that time, I would shotgun another Natty Ice and toss can in the back of a pickup truck and piss again, and he of course, would chase me...it got pretty fucking ridiculous. I ended up drinking the entire 12 pack in the lot, and there were piss rivers all over the place. You have Three Rivers back there, but last night in Hollywood, CA, there were twelve streams!

[YoungJRNY]

Heading out for some tailgating! Will try to get up some mad video from my buddy's cam since they don't allow video camera's in Heinz. Calling for winds, snow and grid-iron!


Saturday:

Baltimore @ Pittsburgh: The Steelers are 8-0 against divisional opponents in the playoffs and are 2-0 versus the Ravens, both times at home in 2001 and then again in 2008 in the AFC Championship Game. It will be tough to defend Todd Heap and Ray Rice offensively, and the mad-man Suggs and Nata defensively but I think the monumental pressure on Flacco could work in the Steelers favor and force him and that offense to buckle under pressure. Flacco's record against the Steelers is 2-4, both of those wins coming against Dennis Dixon and Charlie Batch. This is the game for the Steelers to maybe run a no-huddle attack. Steelers by 7.

Green Bay @ Atlanta: Atlanta is very tough at home and it seems nobody wants to talk about them! Green Bay was my pre-season Super Bowl pick and I will ride them out but this one will be a great one on a fast track. The battle between two potential elite quarterbacks will take the stage and I think Green Bay has a more forceful defense with Clay Matthews leading the troops. Atlanta is tough, but I think Green Bay edges this out on the road. Packers by 6.

[No Surprize]

[Ehwmatt]

Ray Rice puking in hotel. Herculean task for Joe Flaccid just got tougher. I still think this guy is a total chump. I'm so sick of having that "ONE OF THE ONLY QBs TO GO TO THE PLAYOFFS IN HIS FIRST THREE SEASONS!" crap trumpeted on my TV. I've never once been impressed by the guy.

You missed the j/k right?

As in I was JUST KIDDING! LOL Were you still drunk when you responded to my post? Read 4 words and thought you knew exactly what I was saying, didn't you? Admit it there were 3 more streams going on!

Did you miss the part about I like the underdog picks too? But that I just didn't see it happening?

The $50 bet thing was because you ALWAYS bet me $50...on EVERYTHING...LOL

But like I said, I hold opinions, I don't bet them.

ROFLMAO on the 12 Streams...stuck in Chicago because of work...pissed because I missed the show, but gotta feed the family first I suppose.

Ray Rice puking in hotel. Herculean task for Joe Flaccid just got tougher. I still think this guy is a total chump. I'm so sick of having that "ONE OF THE ONLY QBs TO GO TO THE PLAYOFFS IN HIS FIRST THREE SEASONS!" crap trumpeted on my TV. I've never once been impressed by the guy.

Rice is puking? GOOD...then the fudgie I gave his drink glass last night took effect...wonder how he missed the corn floating in there?

I hope the hooker I ordered up for Flaccid helped out, she was cheap so will be itching his "Little Joe" all game.

I would have sent on to Ray Lewis too, but I thought a dead hooker would have been over the top!

[S2M]

I'm thinking this game is going to be all one-sided....it will not be a 3-point game...I'm thinking 34-14....or maybe


38-10

uh-huh...yep...

[Rockindeano]

As much ass as Ehwmatt kicks, and he kicks a lot of it, I don't get the Flacco hate....25 TD vs 10 picks and a 62% completion rate. Without looking, I would say those are better numbers than fat fuck Rapistburger.

[S2M]

Already a BS call....that was ALL Wallace.....

[RossValoryRocks]

Already a BS call....that was ALL Wallace.....

LOL...bullshit...he trapped Wallaces arm against him...that is a no no...he also impeded his route to the ball...also a no no.

But there have been some weird calls in this game.

And do you get the feeling these teams don't like each other much?

Yes.....Ryan Clark leading with his head. Kalamulea(SP) late hit(non-call), Taylor headbutting Housemanzedah, again non-call.....

That should be your new name: TI Non-Call.

Clark actually lead with his shoulder into the reciever...the head into Taylor...its perfectly legal to spear your own player evidently.

[S2M]

FUMBLE!!!! Wooooo! LMAO

One that will NOT be overturned....

Oh Travis......LOL

Oh Stu......LOL

[RossValoryRocks]

FUMBLE!!!! Wooooo! LMAO

Yeah after Suggs got the non-call for intentionally going low into Ben's knee. LOL

Ben hurt his hand on that play, and Pitt is OUT of challenges for the REMAINDER of the game. WOW!!!

That's huge....
