Football Camp's a week away. Who's winning the Super Bowl?

[MikeG]

Also post your reasons.

[trumad]

1. The Steelers...ROTFLMAO

[MikeG]

2. Hey. I am the master of my own poll.

We had a good draft. And got rid of Jason Gildon. That is addition by subtraction.

And we call them the Stillers, OK?

[PittPoliSci]

42. i agree!

Go Stillers!

[Beware the Beast Man]

51. Here we go Stillers, here we go!

Yoy! mmmHah!

[Baclava]

66. Who ride ???

[fdr_hst_fan]

3. Who cares? That's the kind of

thing that the neoNazis HOPE will turn your attention AWAY from what's REALLY important-voting them TRULY and DECISIVELY OUT OF OFFICE!

:wtf: :mad:

[MikeG]

11. I've been a FB fan since age 7, I'm not changing now.

I know how to pull a lever.

[fishnfla]

4. I've already lined up SB tix

its in Jax this season. take it to the bank

[MikeG]

12. Is it a "Slam Dunk?"

[fishnfla]

15. Not by any stretch

Its gonna be a long uphill battle of a season

And I am a so gonna be digging every play.

bring.it.on.

[onebigbadwulf]

5. Titans

I've been training my Jedi skills this year and will lead them into a victory with telekenesis

[MikeG]

8. We still want Nedney's ass. He still with the Titans?

[MikeG]

6. Lets get that ugly General Discussion taste out of our mouths, OK?

WITH SOME FOOTBALL TALK!!!

[tridim]

7. Janet's boob

[MikeG]

10. The halftime show is "Up with People" this year.

Cleavage is out of the question.

[name not needed]

31. Oh shit. We might as well just stick pencils up our ass

and dance around singing gibberish.

[TopesJunkie]

9. Real Madrid ---------

[Forkboy]

55. wiseass!

:)

[Worst Username Ever]

13. Who cares as long as the Vikes beat the Packers.

[MikeG]

14. The Vikes need to go back outdoors. It was a big advantage.

[Wapsie B]

40. Favre doesn't have that good a record in the Homer Dome.

I'd like to think that the Vikes could do something this year. But we'll have to see what the O-line does along with the defensive secondary.

[SmileyBoy]

45. I agree. The MetroDump sucks.

I wanna see an outdoor stadium.

[Redhead488]

50. Yeah, indoors the Vikes are like girlymen

[MsUSA]

52. LOL, think again shylock1579.

Packer fan here.....and the Viqueens beating the Packers??? Not a chance. Well, ok, we'll split as usual. GO PACK!! :)

[SmileyBoy]

59. Pukers ain't gonna be hot stuff this year, I know that.

But the entire NFC North sucks anyway.

[HawkerHurricane]

16. The team that scores the most points, right?

What, is this some sort of trick question?

[MikeG]

17. Chargers still gonna suck, huh?

[HawkerHurricane]

19. I dunno...

I mean, they're crying about needing a new stadium (the Padres got one, and now the concession money doesn't go to the Chargers anymore)... Last time they needed a stadium upgrade, they went to the Super Bowl. Then they went back to being doormats. I assume that this year or next, they'll head back so the San Diego voters can vote the billionaire Alex Spanos a multi million dollar stadium... then they'll suck again.

Hey, it worked for the Padres!

But, back on the subject... I grew up in Los Angeles. I'm a Rams fan.

[MikeG]

21. Even though they went to St. Louis?

That's loyalty.

[HawkerHurricane]

22. Loyal to the uniform.

If they changed that, I'd probably drop them.

Or if the owner of the Chargers weren't such a welfare queen, sucking on the public tit on one hand, then using the money to fund Republicans who vote to give him more money...

[WilliamPitt]

18. Roosevelt Colvin, Corey Dillon

The Pats got better than they were last year.

[MikeG]

20. 10/31 at 1:00 PM in New England - We get to see, Mr. Pitt.

[WilliamPitt]

23. Who's your QB this year?

[MikeG]

26. Tommy Maddox, with Ben Roethlisberger, No. 1 pick, in the wings.

[WilliamPitt]

37. BAAAAAAAAAAAH HAH HAH HAH

[MikeG]

47. They are both better than Brady. Who is a scrub in my book.

With a weak arm.

Your team is overrated.

[MikeG]

48. And the refs aren't going to let your corners mug the receivers.

[Forkboy]

56. Weak arm doesn't matter with the offense they run

And no,they aren't overrated.Overrated teams dont win 17 straight games in the NFL...sorry.

[MikeG]

60. When he had a healthy line, Maddox was unstoppable.

Our right guard was recovering from diabetes - Simmons.

And we lost a tackle to free agency - Wayne Gandy

We now have drafted a moose to replace him - Stark from Florida.

You will see a big difference.

And last year means nothing. The league changes too fast.

Where were the Patriots in 2002?

[Forkboy]

62. 2002?

Let's not go there :D

I dont think you'll see a letdown like that from them this year.They seemed very prepared and psyched already just at the mini camps.And very hungry to keep the good vibes going.I hope so anyways,rooting for the Sox,Bruins and Celtics is no picnic :)

Do you know if Stark is going to play regularly this year? He's a tank of a man,and he's gonna be good soon.

You know what the best part of this year is? ESPN Classic shows NFL Films all the time!!! That show is like a religious mass for me!

Bring on the contact sports!!!!!

[JaySherman]

24. Gotta go with the champs.

The Corey Dillon trade was brilliant. Tom Brady with a running game is just scary.
Some dark horse candidates:
NFC
Seattle - All pieces are there on offense. Now if only that defense could step up. Holmgren has been there, done that, so he knows what it takes. Playing in a weak division helps.
Vikings - Loaded with talent. Moss, Culpepper, and a trio of good backs. Made some good moves to improve the D. But is the coaching any good? Make or break year for Tice.
Saints - Another loaded team, but also the poster boys for perennial underachievers. If they ever put it all together, they could be scary. Look at that d-line.

AFC
Baltimore - NFC Norris is the weakest division in football. Should make the playoffs easily, where they could ride that D like in 2000. Question is, can Boller take the next step?
Jacksonville - Young team that could surprise a lot of people. How far they go depends on Leftwich.
And of course, my Jets - Easier schedule, improved D, and a healthy Pennington add up to a rebound season. Will probably be chasing New England all year, but no reason why they at shouldn't at least compete for a wildcard spot with their schedule. Miami has had a terrible offseason, and Buffalo has to deal with a new coach and an old Bledsoe. If the D improves at all (which won't take much) and Pennington can recapture the magic of 2002, they will be dangerous.

[MrScorpio]

25. Lions! All the Way!!

We got the Mooch, Baby!!! Yeeeah!!

Let's bring another trophy to Motown!!!

[TopesJunkie]

27. Who won it last year, again?

Really. I don't remember who it was.

[MikeG]

34. Patriots. By a boob.

[TopesJunkie]

35. What kind of patriots?

Blind patriots? Or, you know, the kind that hate their country?

[WilliamPitt]

38. The best kind of Patriots

:)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. Who Are The Stillers?

Ben Stiller bought a football team and named it after himself?

[MikeG]

29. Go here.

www.stillers.com

It's how we say it in Pittsburgh.

[Bill Wade]

30. The skins!

The main reason why: Joe Gibbs. One of the greatest coaches of all time, so I don't really have to go into details.

Second reason: Clinton Portis. Ok, this may be wishful thinking, but this guy has put up insane stats in two years. If he can stay healthy, who knows how far this kid can go.


Third reason: We have really good depth at QB, WR, HB. The three most important positions, other than the lines. Which BTW, our defensive line looks to be just as bad as last year. But the offensive line is looking up since the orignator of the "Hogs" is back, Joe Bugel.

I can't wait for football season to start. :)

[JaySherman]

33. Not with your d-line.

People are going to run and pass on you all day. Look what happened to the Chiefs last year.

[TopesJunkie]

32. I'm boycotting until we let the Canadian League have a shot at it -

Now that might make it exciting. Especially if they used Canadian rules!

Woo hoo!

[HawkerHurricane]

54. Hey, Canadians have as much chance of winning this year...

as the SD Chargers.

Go Dolts! And take the Friars with you!

[fortyfeetunder]

63. It' s ironing season

The only way I can get my ironing done is in front of the tube looking at football. Time to get out those cotton shirts...WOOHOO.
I don't give a crap who wins the SB this year.

[fishwax]

36. The Broncos

Okay, maybe it's just wishful thinking.

But I'm just glad the season is finally almost here.

[AlFrankenFan]

43. Damn straight! n/t

[sasquatch]

39. Bengals are winning the Super Bowl

Hey Hey, Ho Ho.

Who dey bitches:evilgrin:

[jus_the_facts]

41. Well ya know what....it's the SAINTS all the WAY BABY!!!

....the MIRACLE HAPPENS in 2005!!! :7 :7 :7

Riiiiight...*dreams on and on* :eyes:

[SmileyBoy]

44. Vikings, baby!!!

SKOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

[tcfrogs]

46. It all depends on who Tom Brady is dating

[regularguy]

49. EAGLES.

I can feel the pain (mine) already!

[MikeG]

53. There is nothing like the start of football season. I'm psyched.

[Forkboy]

57. Barring injuries the Patriots should win again

They are actually going to be deeper than last year.

Brady is as cool under pressure as anyone in recent years.

A healthy Colvin added to a defense that was tops in the league last year.

A running game? Hell yeah.

Best coaches in football right now.

Best owner in football right now.

Psycho fans.

They wont have the record they did last year,but 12-4 is a definate possibility.

[MikeG]

58. Exhibit "A" - The 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers.

The best Steeler team of all.

Won Super Bowls in 1974 and 1975.

Defense had Five straight shutouts in 1976.

Injuries killed them.

[Forkboy]

61. Yep

That's why I said barring injuries,because it's causes havoc every year for someone,and can take the best teams down pretty quickly.Still,the Pats do have some depth on defense,so they might be able to survive a couple of injuries.I pretty much bank on Ted Johnson being hurt annually :)

The Steel Curtain is still my fav defense of all time,though I was an Oakland fan back then.

Pittsburgh is on the right track now that Kordell is gone.Cower stuck with him waaaaay to long.You can't have an 7-8 year veteran who still makes rookie mistakes.The Bears will learn this too.Maddux is no Montana but he's a step up.

[Swamp Rat]

64. The New Orleans Saints... because the Rapture is coming.

[SmileyBoy]

65. Naw, you're thinking of the Vikings.

I'm packing all my shit together and getting the hell out of here if we ever win the Super Bowl.
