0-2? THAT'S WHEN I'M A VIKING ✰✰✰ NFL Week Three ✰✰✰

uh

when did that happen.

kinda dig the saints throwback unis with the halo helmets

IT'S HORRIBLE! THE BENGALS ARE CHANGING! CHANGING INTO...BENGALS!

Awesome imo

lol @ Saints turning Bengals into pillars of salt

my goal should be to get OchoCinco to tweet these.

YES

just twittered him with permalink to the thread. Now all you do it too!

Kind of unfair of the storywriter to not let the Bengals maul the Saints.

Wow...just....wow

DET @ MIN : Something is not right with the Vikings + Lions have been looking hot. I think Detroit upsets.
DAL @ HOU : Almost the same as above but Dallas looks a little better than Vikings and Texans look a little better than Detroit.
BUF @ NE : Patriots.
CIN @ CAR : Bengals
ATL @ NO : Saints.
PIT @ TB : Steelers D scores enough points to win.
CLE @ BAL : Ravens.
TEN @ NYG : Titans.
WAS @ STL : Redskins.
PHI @ JAC : IGGGGGGGGGLES
SD @ SEA : Bolts
OAK @ ARI : Cardinals.

Sorry guys, I have to rant and the AFL board is tumbleweeds. Whatever issues the NFL has with o/t rules in Superbowls, it's all gravy compared to Australian Rules Football: AFL Grand Final was played today (well tomorrow, whatver, timezones, ow)...both teams tied the score at the end of regulation. Aaaaand that's all.
Official league rules say no extra time in the Grand Final, so...no extra time. Both teams come back next week to play it all over again. Stupid bloody archaic rulebook, probably still has penalties for untrimmed mustaches and not folding your breeches correctly before a game. GAH!!!!!! St Kilda haven't won a premiership since 1966; last year they were beaten in the grand final in a heartbreaker; this year they tie. If they don't win the do-over game, I'm pretty sure they'll chomp down on cyanide pills.

The end.

For posterity:

Sorry. Back to Yankeeball!

nothing in that photo makes sense ot me

The score, or just everything?

i understand that they tied

A couple of those dudes have nice ink.

Quick AFL scoring, 101:

A goal = 6 points
A behind = 1 point (There's an extra post on either side of the goals, so if you kick a point and you miss, and the ball goes between the other posts, it's a 'behind'. Like a 'nice try' point).

10 goals, 8 behinds = 68 (Saints, ie Saint Kilda, known as the Saints bc its in their name obv)
9 goals, 14 behinds = 68 (Pies, ie Collingwood who are known at the Magpies b/c they're black and white like the bird..Pies is just bc Australians shorten all words wherever possible to make it easier to talk fast)

ugh i'm tired: I meant if you kick a GOAL and you miss, and the ball goes between the other posts, it's a behind.

Saints are Red White and Black; Collingwood are Black and White

I'm all for AFL. it's like if every game was run like the final NFL desperation ploy of passing the ball backwards to eight different players on a last second kickoff return.

In fact, since we're so inclusive, we could rename this board "I Love Football".

really enjoyed the idea of a successful team being officially named "pies" before you had to ruin it

Haha, sorry iatee! If it makes you feel better there's a team called the Swans, and that's not slang for anything :)

Adam_Schefter OT Marcus McNeill signed his one-year, $630,000 tender. He will miss next 3 games, then be eligible to play against Patriots next month.

what a retard

DET @ MIN : det
DAL @ HOU : hou
BUF @ NE : ne
CIN @ CAR : cin
ATL @ NO : no
PIT @ TB : tb
CLE @ BAL : bal
TEN @ NYG : nyg
WAS @ STL : was
PHI @ JAC : phi
SD @ SEA : sd
OAK @ ARI : oak
IND @ DEN : ind
NYJ @ MIA : nyj
GB @ CHI : chi

SD @ SEA : bolts
OAK @ ARI : i think the raiders!

gonna switch both of these for the heck of it. think zona plays a lot better at home in the desert & even though i dont think they are good, they can prob beat oak.

En route to foxboro to see big ryan fitzpatrick throw on darius butler for 400 yards. HOLLA

Last week 11-5 (season 22-10)

DET @ MIN : I think the Lions are improving, but the Vikings D should be able to hold them down enough to win.
DAL @ HOU :
BUF @ NE : Patriots
CIN @ CAR : Bengals, but I could see this being kind of ugly and the Panthers hold around.
ATL @ NO : If it was in Atlanta, I might go Falcons, as I think the Saints are a bit infallible, but NO it is.
PIT @ TB : Steelers defense looks to be reloaded, even with the QB troubles I'll take Pittsburgh. It would be a huge win for TB if it happened.
CLE @ BAL : I'll take Ravens in a snoozer fugly played game like usual.
TEN @ NYG : Both of these clubs took a crap last week. Who knows...I'll go Giants.
SF @ KC : This should be a pretty good game. KC at home. SF had a real QB I think they would be really good, but they don't have one.
WAS @ STL : Washington but it will be closer than expected.
PHI @ JAC : Both of these clubs are really inconsistent over the years. I think the Eagles have the talent and should win, but I would believe they would come out flat and j-ville's D could step up and win. I'll take the Eagles but I don't feel confident on it.
SD @ SEA : Chargers should win, but Seattle can be a tough place to get a win. If they lose that is one more knot in the noose for Norv Turner.
OAK @ ARI : Both of these clubs pretty much illustrate what happens when you get pathetic QB play. I'm going Raiders with Gradkowski, as long as he doesn't get knocked out of the game.
IND @ DEN : I'm sure some real Broncos fans are dying to win this one, as Peyton Manning has used Denver as his bitch over the years both completely destroying them a few times and stealing away victories at the final second. I'm going Colts, as I don't think Denver is ready for prime time and without Moreno, they might not be able to run quite as well, which is the key to beating Indy (control the clock and keep the offensive off the field0.
NYJ @ MIA : Lord will ESPN and the NFL Network shut the fxxx up about the Jets? I'm taking Dolphins just hoping that they might take the din down a notch.
GB @ CHI : Hmmmmm....I want to take the Bears and I really hope they impale those bastards in Yellow, but the betting side of me knows that the Pack probably have the defensive goodies to really run havok with Chicago's crappy o-line. Packers but I hope I am wrong.

Oh Yeah - Dallas at Houston -- This is a hard game to pick. They are kind of the same club, lots of talent and some star power but they will do dumb plays to blow games. Houston has given up a crap load of passing yards in the past couple of weeks and the Cowboys are getting back a couple of O-lineman from injuries. I'm taking Cowboys but like with the Indy game, if Houston wants to step up to the big leagues they got to win this one and I am still a bit skeptical. A Cowboy 0-3 start would be great from a schadenfreude perspective.

DET @ MIN : Detroit. Would that even be considered an upset pick anymore? Detroit's getting better and better and I predict Favreceptions galore.
DAL @ HOU : Houston. Wade has got to be fored if Dallas loses, right?
BUF @ NE : Pats. Moss and Welker please score ten TDs apiece kthxbi.
CIN @ CAR : God the Panthers are awful.
ATL @ NO : Saints are bad but they're not THAT bad.
PIT @ TB : Steelers, duh.
CLE @ BAL : Cribbs can't even return the ball well anymore! Ravens in a blowout.
TEN @ NYG : Giants
SF @ KC : Chiefs. Will Thomas Jones please blow out his knee in four places???
WAS @ STL : Redskins. McNugget is my man.
PHI @ JAC : Jags
SD @ SEA : Chargers
OAK @ ARI : Cards. How in God's name did Derek Anderson make the Pro Bowl???
IND @ DEN : Colts
NYJ @ MIA : Dolphins in a snoozefest
GB @ CHI : Packers. This shoud be a great game.

None of the four games I want to see are being shown on regular TV or basic cable. Kinda hate that I have to sit at Buffalo Wild Wings all day just to watch NFL games. Insight also, to my knowledge, doesn't offer any sort of NFL fastpass kinda package, a la DirecTV, where you can watch all the games.

OK, rant over. Guess I'm watching the Bungles.

jesus christ -- how many deflected interceptions has eli thrown this year? 5?

also lemme know if anyone can hook it up w/ a stream of the dallas game

texans-cowboys looks like its gonna be chippy

ATDHE has a stream!

assholes fyi directv is the only provider that offers the comprehensive nfl package--so tons and tons of ppl are out in the cold on that one.

just didn't want you to feel too alone--if u live in a different city from yr team there's a good chance you have to watch at a bar. sucks imo.

yeah the atdhe stream was asking me to download some shit, guess i might

god, lol at the cowboys forever

fuck, really eli?

aaron hernandez is fantastic

hello RANDY MOSS

xpost Thanks, destroyer. Tough being a Titans fan in Bungles country. I'd probably settle for the Houston - Dallas game, but I've got Saints - Falcons and Bengals - Panthers here. It'd be much cheaper to just get DirecTV than to spend untold amounts at the bar every week, but they don't even offer it here. Lame

i don't get why the nfl doesn't have a thing where you can pay them to stream games online in good quality -- mlb & nba do it -- it doesn't make any sense

god the giants suuuuuck

fuckin diehl sucks ass

just a guess but i bet their contract w/directv is very, very exclusive

yeah but i don't see how it's not profitable for directv to get in on it too -- make me pay $125 for the whole year or something -- you can sell more ads etc

just seems like they could make some money doing that instead of holding out for ppl to subscribe to directv completely

ugly redzone possession by the texans
