Giving up 35 points to the Saints is one thing. But to the Falcons is inexcusable. These are the games the Raiders have to win, are SUPPOSED to win if they are going to make the playoffs. It means nothing to beat Saints if you turn around and lose the home opener to mediocre Sadlanta. Very disappointed...it's one step forward, two steps back. Just like the last dozen years or so. Where did our football chat group go? No Rick or PC or Walter or zepscoda or jabe. Bong-Man is excused because he's in the wilderness. I was shooting bamboo under my fingernails watching the Pittsburgh Cincinnati game. I haven't checked my picks but I figure I'm in the running for the "most losses" trophy this year.

paul carruthers Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm not sure, but I think I have 5 strikes on my record this week. And the usual questions, like why do I ever pick the sorry ass Bills to do anything? Great defensive struggle tonight with the Pack and the Vikes--now kick into gear Rodgers...

Chin up, Strider, I saw much worse football today (and yesterday for that matter). At least your team looked like real football players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ole Miss must get in Bama's head, and especially in the beginning, they looked well on their way to a 3-peat. Congrats on the win! Back to NFL...Strider, I hope your Raiders have a good season, maybe they'll get their own stadium. Seems like it would be extremely difficult to play football on a baseball field.

Had to get on the pool on this 100 degree day in Central Florida....before the pool dips below 85! ? Nice day with the family, after too much time committed to work! Good early day of football and frustrating day at the race track. ? Well, yes that is true...at least from the end of the Dallas game. But my point was usually you East Coasters are on here jibber-jabbing during the first game and you were all conspicious by your absence yesterday morning (first game begins at 10am out here in the west). I especially miss Rick's harangues against the refs. 20 hours ago, ebk said: I was at the Os game today. Oh wait, you didn't mention me...

paul carruthers Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The Thursday Night game--I'm probably going with my heart instead of my head, but I would love to see Houston step all over the Pats. But, I wouldn't be shocked in the least if the reverse happens. I know Rick might disagree, but until further notice, the Patriots own everybody in the AFC East....

Strider Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I don't like football on Thursday nights. It's too damn early in the week...just barely caught my breath from the Sunday and Monday games. Let alone how the players must feel having to play on short rest.

paul carruthers Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I had to refresh my memory by looking at the Fins upcoming schedule--home vs. the Browns, then next Thursday vs. the Bengals in Cincy. Then it's home games vs. the Titans and Steelers. So, I'm thinking the Fins could be 0-6 after that stretch of games--thank goodness the Mets are still alive in a sports race, because my football team is pure garbage....

Walter Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 C'mon you guys HAVE to beat the Browns this weekend, they have a 3rd string quarterback and just lost their top wr to a broken hand. But 2-4 is a very real probability. Maybe even 1-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belecheck has his spies working overtime. I did not see the debacle by Houston, but can only imagine it was a ton of short passes to Edelman and some real shitty offense by Houston. They were obvoiusly exposed. Did anyone ever say Houston is a good team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
