WELCOME BACK FOOTBALl!! HOW I'VE MISSED YOU (Page 3)

28 - 7! GOOOOO Super Chargers!!!!

This is wine is going to taste like pure AMBROSIA!!!

Alright...so I'm likely going to concede right now 😢 I'll do my duty of the verbal stuff tomorrow! Now, do you wanna do double or nothing for the January 2nd game? Your call...I'm cool either way (dammit).

35-7 I don't think I can take too much more!

The choice is yours, my dear 🙂

It's up to you Mr. Man, cause if the Chargers don't beat the Broncos, then you get nada! It doesn't help me either way; barring I'd have to buy you TWO bottles of vino 🙂

Which, sadly, will likely be the case! Damn Broncos 😢

Gotcha! Double or nothing it is! (((now starts working on a Louisiana root to put on the Broncos' team, coach & defensive coordinator so they can win!)))

@LibraSid

I think that's going to be a good game. It'll be close I think but the Patriots will win.

I want to see Sunday night's game. Baltimore v Pittsburgh. Go Ravens!

Posted by wgamador
Whats up fellow football heads.....just realized my absence in here is a disgrace....I am a HUGE football fan.
I watch anything with a football in it.

So this MONDAY NIGHT....

It is PATRIOTS vs JETS......

Mark Sanchez vs Tom Brady

Rex Ryan vs Belicheat

What do you guys think of the game and your predictions....

And who do you guys think is the best team in the league right now?

It's a tough call, because Mark is a fellow Trojan like moi, but in the end, I just think the Pats have a better overall game than the Jets. Also, I think that as the season goes on, the Pats tend to do really well and seem to get into their stride on both the offensive side and defensive side. So, while I'd love for Mark to represent, I do think the Pats will will, but I can't see it being a trouncing, they WILL have to work for it.

Now, that Sunday night game is gonna be off da' hook too! Ray Lewis vs. The Steelers! Hahahahahaaa! I don't believe it will be a high scoring game (like the Jets vs Pats game likely will be), but you are going to see the Defenses for both of these teams get down and dirty. I'm thinking the Ravens could pull this one out, but if they are playing in Steeler country...I don't know, cause that Steel curtain could come crashing down! Either way, lots of KICKA $ $ Football viewing for me. My friends and family were so annoyed with me, because I watched football Thanksgiving Day, ALL day on Friday (had to see that Auburn game); Saturday, Sunday AND Monday night! HA!

***side note, LOL @ "Belicheat" ***

that should have read "Pats will win."

Well, in respect to the Jets vs. Pats, I'm not a "fan" per se of either, so I can (try) to be objective; I just enjoy good games that are well executed, so with that being said, I think that it should be a stellar game. What I will say, (and yes, I am biased for Sanchez), but I think that the Jets showed an unbelievable amount of poise in that drive Sanchez put together to win that game against the Houston Texans. While all of the pundits say they "blew" a big lead (which they did); I think they performed well, and finished the game in a "Like Whoa" fashion. I was stunned as I watched how every play that was called in that drive was so methodical and near perfect. I think the whole drive took no more than 45 seconds. That's not easy to do; no matter who is throwing the ball, making the catches, or rushing the ball. I think the one thing that the Ravens have that the Steelers don't have is Ray. He is old school, run your a $ $ down and drag you down and make you hurt! I'm sure it's going to be a great game regardless who comes out on top! I can't wait to watch 🙂

I like the Jets! So I'm more interested in a good game more than anything but I think the Pats are in an upswing for the next few weeks.

It's getting cold...
Brady wants to make sure Gisele is keeping the home fires warm for the holidays...
Brady is going to want to put down some good wins to make this happen.

LOL. Giselle. She hates that Tom is balding.

Im going to be so nervous on Monday night....as if i were the one going to Gillette to play.

I love football....its my longest living passion.

Im a Florida State Seminole fan. So i naturally hate the Gators and the Hurricanes.

I think that Boise State kicker will be in rehab in a few years.....he cost his team a chance at making a serious BCS statement. He must have been the sickest person in the country last week.

It will most definitely be a good game on Monday night! Something to look forward too.
Two of my cousins went to Florida State and played football there; one even went to the pros. My ex-Leo that I "quasi" dated, is a Gators fan, and I always liked the Miami Hurricanes when I was growing up (before college), so I always rooted for them, so I am pretty much into Florida football (even if it's against my will 🙂 just kidding! )

Crazy a $ $ games this Sunday! I can't believe some of the winners and losers. I knew the Sunday night game was going to be close - battle of the D for both sides! Sadly, there is always a loser.

I was about to drive down to San Diego and burn down the town myself after last night's performance against the Raiders.

Tonight's game should be fun 🙂

Yeah, I didn't want to call you out, but I was thinking of you when I made that post! LOL! I knew you were incensed! With my team, both the Chiefs and the Broncos looked H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. It was like, who could be the worse! Ughhhhh! The Dallas and Indy game was good too. I'm sure Ray Lewis wanted to hurt somebody after that game!

OY! Did yo also see/hear that Josh McDaniels (HC for Broncos) was let go! It's crazy, because he hasn't even been there that long. They got rid of Shanahan for losing (and now he is losing for the Redskins). Anyway, I think it's shi $ $ y of the Broncos since JUST LAST WEEK, they had the owner saying they were "sticking" with Josh, but then he back-peddled to "We will do what's best for the team as a whole...I pretty much read the writing on the wall, and I think Josh did too. Not that I like Josh, but good grief, give a coach a damn chance!

And yes, tonight's game should be good! Can't wait!

I just checked in with the game. Pats up. 24 to 3. Sorry Wgam!

*smh * Yes, I expected more of a game too, but like you said, you just move on to the next game! Rest assured, haters will ALWAYS hate, even if they have no (real) ammunition. I take them with a grain of salt. It was definitely a learning experience, and I don't think they (coaching staff) will take it lightly.

Football has never left me for another. LOL.

LMAO!! Hahahaha...so true! It's like clockwork - Thursday - Monday nights 🙂 if only they would add Tues and Wed, we could have football every night of the week during football season! I love college football too! SO much electricity, and you get to see the future of the NFL!

But, it's probably not a good idea to have football 7 days a week, because I wouldn't get ANY work done!

OMG! Can you imagine getting married at the Football Hall of Fame—? That would be rocking! I remember the first time I was in Indy and I went to the racetrack and kneeled down on the track and fake kissed the track! That was awesome, so I can't even imagine how kicka $ $ it would be to go to the Football Hall of Fame; just wish it was somewhere more exciting than Ohio...not that there is anything wrong with Ohio! LOL!
Never thought I'd get marriage proposals through my love of football; although my ex-fiance used to say I loved football more than he did, and he played it! HA! I love to go to Sports Bars, and guys automatically roll their eyes and think that me and my girlfriends are just there to pick up guys. Then, a few will get liquid courage to talk to us and they find out we are legit! Then all the betting comes up (free drinks, etc) and it turns into a blast! 😉 Life is good!

The Bears and the Pats - not too much into the Bears nor their QB, so not my most favorite viewing pleasure. I do think the Cowboys & Eagles will be a good game to watch; especially since the Cowboys look like they are finally waking up a bit after unloading Wade P.

"Forgot hot to play football" is an understatement. It was ... abysmal AT BEST! I don't know what is happening, but it's the almost EXACT same thing that happened to Sanchez and the Jets last year ---- this same time *smh *
Awww, so he is inactive?? I'm surprised because I know how he wanted to maintain his streak, but on the same token, he is a broken, battered man 😢 as you aid, "All things must come to an end." Well, we do have TWO Monday Night Football games to watch. I think the Giants vs. Vikings game will be on momentarily. Gotta finish dinner and get some Stella's to enjoy with my games.
OH shizzzz, I forgot to mention, as I said before, that Cowboys & Eagles game was good, but I do agree with the commentators and sports pundits that Vick is getting the crap whacked out of him. I don't care WHAT the refs and people think regarding his conduct off the field; if he's playing, he deserves the same protection as the likes of Brady, Manning, Brees, etc. It's B.S. and annoys the crap outta' me every time I watch the Eagles play and Vick is hacked. Much like the "Shaq Hack Attack" they are doing their own version in the NFL called the "Vick Smack attack." HORRIBLE!

Oh yea, and what about DeSean J tumbling into the end zone. It doesn't bother me; but so many people are pissed at him. I tell them, that's what happens when you are young, talented, and feel entitled! At least he makes for entertaining watching; although, he is NOT endearing himself to his team mates when he's slapped with those 15 yard penalties!

Ok, I'm typing too fast.
First correction, was my quoting - should have been "Forgot HOW to play football."
And the second correction is "as you SAID." Forgot the 's'. Sheeesssh!

^^^Trust me, VH is dancing a jig somewhere like Rumpelstilskin! HA!

I'm getting so pissed off watching Vick getting beat up out there! The Eagles are better than they are playing against the Giants. The Giants D has been on the Eagles' a $ $ !

OOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGGG YEAH!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! Of course, everyone is going to be talking shit about DeShaune showboating into the end zone, but as they say, a win forgives a lot of stupidity!

A lot of people out there are saying Jackson was showboating but when you look at the footage again he was trying to run out the clock. The spike at the end was a bit much but hey a win's a win.

Hey, I don't mind the showboating; except I don't like that they get the penalties that hurt the team. But yes, a win is a win!

^^^Hey you 🙂
Yes, I pretty much agree with all of your predictions too; except for the Packers vs. Eagles. I still think that the Eagles can pull it out (but not if they play like they played this past week). I think all of them, with the exception of the Seahawks vs. Saints are all pretty evenly yoked, so we shall see!

Hey USC...
did you know you have won the Heismann Trophy in my heart?

[Insert smile here]

😉 As long as I don't have to give it back (a la Reggie Bush style ...lol) then it's all good!

Posted by wgamador
How much of an upset would that be if the Seahawks beat the Saints.

click to expand

Speaking of Reggie Bush...yes, that would be a carazyyyyy upset if the Seahawks beat the Saints, but what I will say is that Coach Carroll is that type of person who doesn't believe he "can't" do anything. Even if ALL the odds are stacked against him, he STILL feels he can win. So, while I think it would be ridiculous (given the Seahawks subpar record this year) I don't think anything is impossible. I've been in on a practice when coach Carroll was with USC, and he has an infectiousness about him that really uplifts his team. Despite a lot of negative things that people can and will say about Coach Carroll, I believe he is a good coach, and he always desires to win. People asked him in countless interviews how he kept the guys focused when they had such an unbelievable winning record from the early 2000's until he left USC, and he basically told them that he is focused on winning. Each game is important.

Posted by wgamador
I liked when Carroll was coaching my Jets. I dont think he got a fair chance.
I mean, Leon Hess the then Owner, never spent any money on players.
You cant win anything with just three good players on both sides of the ball and completely neglecting the Special Teams.

Oh and like Reggie Bush, if you cheat---and even if it isnt your fault, then you have to give the Hesiman back. Sorry. lol.

You are right, he didn't get a (fair) shake when he was coaching for the Jets. It's interesting to me that some coaches get a lot of latitude; whereas others don't get that same latitude --- Tyrone Willingham at Notre Dame vs. Charlie Weis at Notre Dame. Sorry, but I don't think Weis did any incredible, bang up job at ND, yet he was able to languish there for several years; whereas ND gave Willingham the boot "quick, fast and in a hurry." It's just the nature of the beast I guess.

🙂 @ "if you cheat --- and even if it isn't your fault, then you have to give the Heisman back." How cheeky of you 😉 LOL!

Hmmm, me thinketh that the Seahawks came to play today. I'm not at a place (home or bar) to watch the game right now, so I've been missing it 😢 but I have been getting the scores updated and it looks like neither teams defenses came to play, but it does appear that the Seahawks Offense did. It's still early in the 3rd Q and anything can happen, but with that being said, all the pundits who've been talking ish all week about Coach Carroll, may have to eat a bit o' crow. I'm not saying that I believe that (should they pull this out) they have are going to the SB...but I'm sure NOBODY would imagine their 7-9 record would have them even this far. As they say ... "Any given Sunday," although, this is Saturday! LOL!
I like the Saints though.

Dammit, I wish I could see the game! Now it's about 9min left in the 4th Q. Saints 30 (just kicked FG) Seahawks 34.
(yes, I'm talking to myself now on this thread 🙂 lol).

I'm so disappointed. I was rooting for the Saints. I didn't want them to win the Superbowl again this year, but I did want them to compete for it. Ah well.

Well, two teams I wanted to win did. The Jets and the Ravens. The one that saddened me was the Eagles, I was really pulling for them, but they just couldn't do it. The two missed field goals and the interception in the endzone killed them 😢
Oh well...to the next round!

NOW, who are your pix, cuz I might need to bet on them! LOL!

We'll know Sunday night who will be going to the SB! I can't wait until Sunday! YEAH!!!!

Looks like it's gonna be the Packers & Steelers in the big dance on February 6th.

@ wgamador sorry the Jets couldn't come back in the second half. They made a valiant effort for damn sure, but ... it just didn't happen. I thought after the safety they could have really done it, since it was 19 to 24 at that point. Le sigh...
