NFL Talk, Week 5

[Fletch]

1) Y'all see the beginning of NFL Countdown, with everybody explaining the Rush situation. Sorry, y'all, but I'm gonna go there. NO WAY should that crew be forced to explain the comments of Rush Limbaugh, and even why they "didn't respond to him". Tom Jackson is one of the most professional men on television. No way should he have been put on the spot. If I'm correct, he did defend McNabb at the time, saying "who went to those Pro Bowls? Who went to those NFC Championships..."

If there was anyone on that network who bears responsibility, it was the execs at ESPN who hired him! To put the crew (especially Mike Irvin and Jackson) on the spot without accountability upstairs is unfair!

1) "Ricky, Ricky, Ricky. Can't you see,
sometimes your runs just hypnotise me,
and with the Giants non-tacklin' ways..."

2) It wasn't about the Broncos kicking to Dante Hall (Tom Jackson thinks that was a stupid idea). It was the coverage. The Broncos HAD HIM!!!! But they couldn't tackle!

3) Are the Raiders gettin' old or what? Lose to Da Bears?????

4) McNabb's back!!!!

5) I got the Colts tonite v. the Bucs.

Number 3 is correct. We suck. :(

I see a Bear turn around in the making. The Offensive Line looks like they are finally working together, but they have to stop the penalties. We play four beatable teams in the next four weeks. New Orleans, Seattle, Detroit, and Arizona.

Mack are you kidding me? The Bears are awful, all that illegal shit that offensive line was doing?? Those guys can't block period, the qb will be running for his life all season, he may not survive the whole season.

My Giants suck, but I am still a fan.

</font> As I was watching the Bears game yesterday, I was thinking not that the Bears looked good but that the Raiders looked really really bad. They looked so bad that some people were saying that the Bears looked good which is wrong because the Bears stink. The Bears play another cellar dweller next week in a game that will be sure to provde comic relief on both sides. They may eke out a victory like this week but they will return to their losing ways soon enough.</font>
</font> Thanks Rated M, I can't watch the Steelers without thinking of your nickname for Maddox. He lived up to it yesterday with 3 of 'em.</font>
</font> Question. Gus Frerotte has had two convincing victories in a row. Do you think Mike Tice will pull a Bill Belichick move and not sit Frerotte when Culpepper gets healthy?</font>
</font> Oh how the mighty have fallen. What happened to the Seahawks' defense? Green Bay scored TDs on five straight drives. They couldn't even do that to the Bears.</font>

When I say offensive line getting it together, they provided holes for Thomas to get thru. Then look who they play the next 4 weeks.

not only that but get this: Turnover Tommy has 8 INTs and 2 fumbles in 4 GAMES...remember the 1st game(i'm shocked)that he didn't have one......

as far as the Bears go, Stew was down 18-3 & came back. the running game was on point and Booker had a good game..........

Chiefs win yet again graemlins/conf44.gif . Can anybody stop us?

[Cordell]

I like the Chiefs but Denver punts the ball out of bounds, the Chiefs might lose that game. They have a sweet offensive but I'm not convince that the are the team to beat.

The Bears might win one game in the next four weeks... The defense cannot continue to be on the field for 45 mins every game.

Patriots looked good despite the severely depleted team
