WHO DEY!!!

I should get an Ochocinco shirt.

:D


I desperately want Chad Ochocinco to get traded to Detroit. Why?

Detroit have retired number 85.


Hah! Awesome!

Apart from we don't want to lose him. TBH, I still mostly call him Chad Johnson in my head.

So, it's the big game this weekend. Detroit vs Cleveland : Just who is the worst team in the NFL? I reckon Cleveland are the worst, bless 'em.

More seriously though, it should be a fun night of Football tonight.

Lovely catch by Dallas Clark to get the first Indy TD.

Baltimore looking to make a game of it with two FGs since though.

I'll be cheering the Bengals on later as they attempt to have their best start in about a bazillion years.

Crikey. The chiefs beat Pittsburgh in overtime. That a turn up for the books.

And I told you that Detroit vs Cleveland was going to be a classic :)

From the highlights, it looks like neither team has a decent defense. And that's putting it mildly.

I'm with you, sir!

Though the Bengals forum I lurk at seems to think the officials were having a somewhat one-sided view of penalties, though they largely blame the loss on some terrible red zone play calling by the coach.

Still, the Steelers lost too, so we're still looking decent for the playoffs if we don't start fucking up bigtime.

Short week, long schlep to Denver, playing at altitude. The odds were hugely stacked against them this week, but I still think the Giants are the best team in that division.

I thought the Giants were fairly impressive against the cowboys earlier in the season, but they do seem to have gone horribly in the last few games. It'll be interesting to see quite what the second giants cowboys match brings.

The Giants were awful last night (yes, I stayed up till about 4.30AM last night, drinking beer and eating turkey). The Giants just didn't look interested or motivated the entire match.

In fact all the games last night were pretty dull and one-sided.

Are the Packers still in the hunt, or did the Vikings ( :spew: ) strong start continue?

Favre is in the form of his life, by all accounts. The Packers are doing better without him than they would with him, though, as odd as that sounds.

Post subject:  Re: Yankee Rules Throwball
Vikings are 9-1, Packers are 7-4, placed 5th in the NFC, though, so looking like a good chance of a playoff (Possible challenges for that from the Eagles and Giants, but both of those have looked potentially fragile in their latest games. Eagles benefitted quite heavily from the Bears inability to get the ball to the receivers at important points of that game.)
Author:  TheAlbin0Kid [ Fri Nov 27, 2009 16:53 ]
Post subject:  Re: Yankee Rules Throwball
Awesome... I've known teams crawl into the play-offs as wildcards with 8-8 records in recent seasons so 7-4 looks good.

All Vikings ever needed was a close-to-average QB to keep the defence honest... Adrian Peterson is a one-man wrecking crew of a running game, but with people like Tavaras Jackson taking the snaps the defence could just camp out defending the run and rely on shit QB after shit QB not being able to hurt them. It really doesn't surprise me they are flourishing with Favre, old as he may be. It's almost certainly not the form of his life though, his mid 90s form was awesomely thrill-tastic, and it's not as if he's being asked to win games single-handedly now for the Vikings.

And yeah, Green Bay have handled the Favre "situation" exactly right at all stage I think (except for beating the Vikings earlier this year!); when a guy retires and you tell his talented understudy that the job is his after about 5 years waiting and learning, you can't exactly seize it back from him when the old guy un-retires and decides he wants one more season. Embrace the future, and hope his knees and elbows pack in :D

In short: Injuries. Polamalu has had a quiffy knee since week 2. Roethlisberger has had a quiffy head since meeting the Chiefs, and they haven't won since then either.

Isn't that just a bad hair-do? Surely with his helmet on it shouldn't make a difference? And if he thinks he's got bad hair, he just needs to look at Polamalu and be grateful (if he is the one I'm thinking of).

And the Ravens did indeed lose! The Bungles are going to be AFC North champs with one more victory - truly these are strange days we live in.

And who'd a thunk that the Steelers would be so hopeless without Troy Polamalu...

I like the way that he decided to change his name right before the NFL season. After all the merch had been manufactured. Reebok told him that he could indeed change is name, if he purchased all the 'Johnson 85' Bengals jerseys in their warehouse.

Post subject:  Re: Yankee Rules Throwball
There's a surprising amount of Bengals fans on here. In fact, any number greater than 1 is a surprise. Why do others like the Bengals?

I have no real reason, other than whilst watching Handegg I came to identify with them as being a sort of American version of Aston Villa; either starting off the season brilliantly before collapsing in spasms of hilarious failure and failing to reach the playoffs, or starting the season terribly before going on a rampaging run of victories... but still falling just short of the playoffs. Or sometimes just straight up sucking.

So I decided to like them as they reminded me of my football team. Strangely, the owner of one of their rivals (Cleveland) bought out Aston Villa, so I almost feel bad for still cheering on the Bengals, but once you've chosen your team, that's it!

Post subject:  Re: Yankee Rules Throwball
Hmmm, personally I'm not a Bengals fan but they were the first NFL team I remember as there were highlights shown once on World of Sports pre Channel 4 which featured them and their very distinctive helmets.

On that why don't the Bengals go back to their classic uni's? The strip they have at the moment is bloody hideous.
