NFL talk thread

Who else is excited for the upcoming NFL season?

I got my eyes on the New York Giants coming back. I think last season a lot of the losses were due to new players, injuries and the players that weren't injured having to over compensate and then end up injured. Plus Eli Manning lost his confidence due to everyone not "clicking".

It was just a few years ago when they beat the Patriots, for the 2nd time, in the Superbowl.

I'm more excited about the NCAA playoff system this year. no more BCS bullshit, survival of the fittest.

Man I never got into the NCAA. I've heard people before say it's better than the NFL but their is something about the NFL season that's like euphoric for me. Lol

thats how i feel about NCAA. these guys are playing out of heart and guts. playing with all they got so that they can make the draft and start making some bank. majority of the Nfl athletes play from their wallet, not heart. EX: terrell owens, chad "ocho sinco" johnson, Tony Romo, etc etc.

Yes I agree about money is the only motivation for many of the players.
Among the teams I don't like are Falcons, Saints, Texans, Cowboys, 49er's, and Bears. A few others as well.

I mean that doesn't mean I won't watch a game between the Falcon's and the 49er's. That would be a solid match up.

But I'll always go for those games of Broncos vs NYG which are my two favorite teams. Or NYG vs Patriots. That's even better.

When all is said and done i guess i pull for the pats more than anyone. tom brady's without question best qb in the nfl. he's also from michigan. (My college team).

I'd say he's a great QB as well but in Superbowl terms Manning, who has ups and downs, beat him twice in the Superbowl.
One of the other major reasons I love NYG is they are the underdog who have shown they can win.
If your speaking regular season terms yes Brady is probably the most consistent.

It's just like Peyton though, he does excellent in the regular season, even play offs and then bombed it in the Superbowl...I believe twice (Colts vs Saints, Broncos vs Seahawks).

[platinum]

Agreed.

GRs thread reminded me that people like to talk about Football, too

As a Cowboys fan, shush, all of you Im always hoping for the best for my boys, but Im also a realist. Theyre 2-2 and unlikely to do anything outside of the regular season unless the Giants, Eagles, and Redskins flub it all. As for wholl take it all the way, I havent been able to follow the other teams very well, but I hear the Texans are doing well, so thatd be cool

So, whos your team, howre they doing, and who do you thinkll take it all the way?
