Football - Super Bowl XLII

edited February 2008 in Debate and/or Discourse
Of the NFL and collegiate variety. Draft day is upon us (April 28), and the schedules have been set. What do you think of your team's schedule, and draft possibilities?


People who haven't already signed up for the first fantasy league can join the second one.

Tennessee Titans:

Sep 9 @Jacksonville 1:00pm (you just can't beat us, losers)
Sep 16 Indianapolis 1:00pm (Fuck Manning)
Sep 24 @New Orleans 8:30pm (Bush ain't shit)
Week 4 BYE
Oct 7 Atlanta 1:00pm
Oct 14 @Tampa Bay 1:00pm (no quarterback)
Oct 21 @Houston 1:00pm (Houston)
Oct 28 Oakland 1:00pm (Al Davis)
Nov 4 Carolina 1:00pm (did anybody pick them to win the next super bowl, yet?)
Nov 11 Jacksonville 1:00pm (repeats)
Nov 19 @Denver 8:30pm (I'll feel bad for my boy Cutler, but Titans win)
Nov 25 @Cincinnati 1:00pm (Carson's da man, but he can't win with all his jailbait (i'll use it however I want to use it) in prison)
Dec 2 Houston 1:00pm (I'm really looking forward to see how they'll fail this year)
Dec 9 San Diego 1:00pm (A.J. Smith buying into his own hype)
Dec 16 @Kansas City 1:00pm (they don't really play to win the game)
Dec 23 N.Y. Jets 4:15pm (Fuck New York, and everyone that lives there! (2x for Jersey))
Dec 30 @Indianapolis 1:00pm (Manning can eat my shit)


From this analysis, we conclude that the Tennessee Titans will finish the season with a perfect record.



Now, for the MNF schedule:

Sep. 10: Baltimore at Cincinnati 7:00 pm
Arizona at San Francisco 10:15 pm
Sep. 17: Washington at Philadelphia
Sep. 24: Tennessee at New Orleans
Oct. 1: New England at Cincinnati
Oct. 8: Dallas at Buffalo
Oct. 15: N.Y. Giants at Atlanta
Oct. 22: Indianapolis at Jacksonville
Oct. 29: Green Bay at Denver
Nov. 5: Baltimore at Pittsburgh
Nov. 12: San Francisco at Seattle
Nov. 19: Tennessee at Denver
Nov. 26: Miami at Pittsburgh
Dec. 3: New England at Baltimore
Dec. 10: New Orleans at Atlanta
Dec. 17: Chicago at Minnesota
Dec. 24: Denver at San Diego


I'm happy to see Tennessee with two dates in there, but Denver with 3? Don't know about that. Well, at least Dallas has just one date.

And I'm really hoping Meachem falls to the Titans in the second round, unlikely as it might be.


PS. Fuck you, America. Free Pacman!

    That year long suspension seems harsh for the NFL. But whatever. They can try to clean up the image of the most violent sport all they want.

    Also, Keith Olbermann will join NBC's pregame show lineup. Too bad Madden will still be covering the games. :/


    And the first player arrested since Pacman's suspension. I can't wait to see what happens!

    I took the Pacman suspension to mean The Curse had already started.

    Actually, a lot of people are expecting the Titans to struggle this year after having lost both receivers and their #1 running back, in addition to the #1 cornerback and punt returner. I still don't get how Jones got a year suspension when Jamal Lewis got to play a year after being convicted on cocaine charges and basically spent the following off-season in federal prison.

    Ugh, from that schedule it looks like Monday is going to be movie rental night. Buffalo? Washington? You guys know John Elway retired, right? And no one tunes in to watch cornerbacks.

    The Sunday night schedule looks pretty good. MNF is kinda screwed for us west coast working folk with the time change last year.

    The Seahawks home sked looks kinda week. SF, NYG, and StL were the few games I was considering.

    So Brian Urlacher was fined $100,000 for wearing an unapproved hat during a superbowl press conference. Apparently, since vitaminwater isn't an NFL sponsor he wasn't allowed to wear the hat. Either this is outrageous asshattery, or he did something terrible that they don't want anybody to know about. What the consensus?

    Well, quite frankly, the Bears schedule seems scary, but I think it will be great to watch (until one of my parents suffers from a heart attack while watching the game)

    The Bears schedule is

    @Chargers (Best record)

    Chiefs (playoff team)

    Cowboys (playoff team)

    @Lions (Look for this game to break the Bears record for greatest margin of victory, the Bears need to score 67 points more to break the old record.)

    @Packers (Brett Favre goes down for good this game, I swear)

    Vikings (The Bears' defense second shutout, the first one being at the Lions

    @Raiders (Third shutout)

    @Seahawks (Playoff team)

    Broncos (should have been a playoff team, they would have gone 10-6 with Plummer)

    Giants (Playoff team)

    @ Redskins (We'll see how they manage to mangle this season)

    @ Vikings (Maybe fourth shutout)

    Packers (If Brett survives the last game, we get him here)

    Saints (NFC championchip rematch, playoff team)

    and also as for early bird
    Colts (We'll show them this time!)

    I see a 12-4 Bears record and a return to the Super Bowl, and the second of what will be three straight super bowl losses.

    Finally, you guys give Madden too much crap. He may be an asswipe but he's ridiculously knowledgeable.

    I looked at the Bengals schedule, and I'm going to put them in at the 10-6 range. They could get to 12 if they don't lose stupid games like they did last year (See: Cin @ TB). I don't see us getting past the 2nd round of the playoffs unless we get some random upset to help us.

    Draft wise I'm not sure what to think. I hope we go DL and OL in the first two rounds. After that I'd like to see 2 LB and a DB in the 4th-6th rounds with no 3rd rounder, and maybe a WR and another lineman in the final round. If we still had our 3rd round pick I would absolutely love to see us finally move up in the draft under Marvin Lewis. We've moved down at least twice, and while it's helped us somewhat both times I'd highly enjoy getting one of the top tier guys. I guess I'll have to wait another year or two before that happens though. Now that I think about it I hope we do move down from pick 18 to the late 20s and pick up a 3rd or 4th because most of the first round talent doesn't excite me much. However if Patrick Willis is at 18 and we don't take him I will immediately quit watching the draft and not look back till it's over.

    So looking at the Eagles schedule, we got the first 4 weeks all non-playoff teams (well ok the Giants got in, but they shouldn't have with a bloody 8-8 record :P) then the bye, so I'm seeing them at either 4-0 or 3-1 (they'll find someway to lose a game that they shouldn't)

    Then a bit of a rough stretch with the Jets, Bears, Vikings (ok not so tough here), and Cowboys, though I don't expect the Bears to be nearly as good as they were last year. Furthermore, the Cowboys get a bye the week before they come, so I expect that to be a tough game. They should be able to go 3-1 here I think, but again they'll probably lose a game they shouldn't and go 2-2.

    The other tough games on the schedule are the second Cowboys game, the Pats, Hawks and Saints. I really hope we get revenge on the Saints, but I'm not so sure we will. I'm thinking 2-2 against these guys, probably wins against the Cowboys and Hawks. We drop another game along the way somewhere, and we're sitting again at 10-6 winning the NFC East. ;)

    And we're probably gonna draft a safety first round. If I was a gambling man, I'd bet on it.
