I almost forgot that the NFL season opener is upon us--where does the time go? I think I'm still a little too wrapped up in baseball to watch the Steelers--and I'm wondering if anyone in the AFC East has the fortitude to challenge the Patriots this season.

If I was a betting man, I would say no...

[Shemp_Diesel]

Another thought I had--will the Seahawks be able to recover from what I believe was the dumbest fucking playcall in Super Bowl history...

The 1st NFL Sunday of the regular season is here--surely, I'm not the only one who's a bit excited about this?

I'm not excited about it at all.  Some team that wears green is not playing today.

[Shemp_Diesel]

I'm liking a lot of the road teams to win today, so obviously that means I'll get crushed in the football pool I participate in...

 

[Shemp_Diesel]

Goddamn, what a finish to the Sunday night game--of course, I was ecstatic to see it, seeing as how I had the Boys in my football pool. Wow...

[Paul Pain]

14-1 and one in Week 1!  Not bad!  Can only go down from here.

You did way better than I did, Paul.
11-5 for me....

I was hoping the Bills would give the Pats a game today--that's what I get for hoping....

 

[Shemp_Diesel]

I wonder what the state of Philadelphia is right now? 0-2 for those Eagles, but with the Cowboys starters dropping like flies, maybe there is time to right the ship? Any thoughts, Lefty?

1.  Let's see what happens Thursday when the Deadskins and Gnats face each other.
2.  The Eagles are 9-0 all-time against the Jets.
3.  I have been telling the Gnats' bandwagon fans at work that their team would go 10-6, win the division, and beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl.  Wait a week -- that script has been played out twice.
4.  Let's go, Flyers!

[Lefty]

Eagles 10, Jets 0.  Next game, 4 years hence in Philly.  11-0 perhaps?

[Shemp_Diesel]

My picks for this week don't appear to be too bad so far--I've dropped 3 going into the afternoon games and, of course, with the NFL there seems to be some wacky shit just about every week; the Browns beating the Ravens, and the Saints getting pounded by the Eagles...

 

[Paul Pain]

Did even worse than I thought I would!

ATL @ NO - ATL
WSH @ NYJ - NYJ (dagger in my beloved Skins' season)
ARI @ PIT - ARI
KC @ MIN - MIN (KC might be worst in the league now)

HOU @ JAX - JAX
MIA @ TEN - MIA
