The Official 08\09 NFL Football Thread

Turf, I hate to say it, but you may be right. I would not be surprised to see them make it to the playoffs. Only time will tell. At the moment I am concerned with the amount of injuries for the Seahawks. Top three receivers are out, Maurice Morris, and Hasselbeck mare be more injured that the team is letting be known.

And I am not happy about Brady being out for the season. I really don't like the Patriots, but I never want to see a great player like that go out for a season. Now when New England comes to Seattle and loses, it really won't mean as much as it would have if Brady were playing.

[Turf1600]

Yeah, but it'd be cool for them to go 0-16.

I however was happy to see that happen to Brady. He sucked at Michigan and flourished in NE. Pisses me off as a U of M fan. And he beat my Eagles in the SuperBowl, after they cheated. Its called karma. I hope he comes back, and is never the same. Looks like Randy Moss should stayed on that plain to Philly this offseason, renegging POS.

You have the Niners over Seattle at Qwest? Do you shoot up heroin or something?

[jflip2002]

You guys act like Qwest is such a great homefield advantage that you can not lose there. Sure, its a nice field, and the fans are on top of you. But qwest field doesnt play the game. You are down your top 3 wide recievers, and julius jones is hurt. Good luck losing to SF, Gore is going run for 180 on you.

[jflip2002]

You want a REAL homefield advantage? Veteran Stadium. Where rats are bigger then cheerleaders, and there is that metal plate portion of the field, where the astroturf cuts you up if you get tackled on that portion.

Veteran stadium > Qwest Field.

Texans are heavily favored FYI.

[jflip2002]

Thats fine. I think that should be a real good game. Slaton is a stud, but Baltimore doesnt allow 100 rushers ever. It comes down to me liking Baltimores D more than Texans.

Veteran stadium > Qwest Field.

so it's a shit hole and that makes it great?

[jflip2002]

it was a shithole, and thats what made it an advantage. Ive never said it was great, did I? Theres no comparison as far as venues go, between Qwest and The Vet. Qwest is 100x nicer, but it surely lacks that old school football field of the vet. Thats just from what I view on TV at least....

[TwoJ's]

Well, I guess both of our opinions don't really mean anything then. I think Quest is great because I've been there, I've heard numerous players and announcers say it's the loudest stadium in the league, and because the Seahawks have a MUCH better home record than away. One of the biggest reasons they made it to the super bowl is because they had home field advantage throughout.

I can't really say it's better because I've never seen an NFL game anywhere else (except the kingdome which was a shit hole).

[TwoJ's]

Here we go. Should be a better day than last Sunday.

And Turf, how are you man?

[TwoJ's]

Well, looks like holmes and I need to eat our words.

Even though they were missing 6 receivers, the hawks should have won that game. The two picks were both tips, yadda yadda.

Failure, should have won.

They played a better game then the niners hands down. If we would have had our recievers we would have won. Engram and Branch will be back next month.
