Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 12:14 am

i'll pick 5 people to do it with me every week.

these 5 people would have to rank the top 15-30 teams in the nfl.

i'll compile all of them mathmatically.

but Chicago's schedule is tougher? GB and Detroit aren't exactly good

Atlanta's look pretty impressive thats for sure, since they were winning teams last year, and Atlanta controlled the games, and ran all over them

if you look at the NFL thread, i made fun of people who were hyping chicago by pointing out they played cupcakes so far.

THANKS BILL JAMES

bringinoutbangerz · Post by **bringinoutbangerz** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 11:12 am

1. Colts
-Beat a decent G-men squad at the גlands in a game you may have heard about, if you like 6ג5ג quarterbacks with laser rocket arms.
2. Bears
-Two straight spankings in their bunk division. Got the north locked now, but what happens when someone lands on Rex?
3. Falcons
-Mexico electing to throw less and grind it out a la Nebraska back in the days is paying dividends, as is enlisting a disgruntled John Abraham.
4. Ravens-Defense refuses to show age. This is what a competent quarterback looks like huh? Last time they had someone who didnגt screw up 50% of the time, they won the whole goddamn thing. Fucking Ballmer
5. Jaguars
-Another rad fucking D. Tore down the Bledsoe statue and gave Roflsburger a Malkin-like treatment. Matt Jones, who?
6. Patriots
-Tom is looking more human, have been alarmingly close against two division bunk-houses. Lawrence Maroney, will he steal Reggieגs shine this year?
7. Bengals
-Carsonגs female-ankle-knee is still holding up, as is Chadגs magnificent cut. Giving to ball to Rudi (140+, two touches) will continue to be key.
8. Chargers
-Shawne Merriman, holla at Southeast. However, they have been upending some serious dogs, lets see if גLights-outג can generate some electricity against a decent front. Couldnגt be in a better position with the Broncs looking vulnerable.
9. Giants
-Pulled out a number one stunna victory, causing many-a wife to get beat in South Philly. Can Eli last if these beatings (8 sacks) continue?
10. Steelers
-A Roflsburger gut-check is needed here as the qb looked bedridden against the Jags. They always start slow.
11. Vikings
-Offensive line looks truthful, making Brad Johnson and Chester Taylor both look competent.
12. Eagles
-A stinker of a loss at home, but softy sched. (@9ers, then home v. woeful Pack) ought to cool the nerves of 70,000 drunken-hooligans
13. Seahawks
-Eked out that 2-0 start. Shaunגs Ankle is swelling up. Madden continues the reign of terror. I think גhawks fans would be more excited if Hutch was suiting up Sunday instead of Deon Branch
14. Cowboys
-Defense is humming, Glenn is running routes and the line is healthy. But for how long? They've got to cut back on those flags (most penalized team in the league).
15. Saints
-Beat two teams on the downswing, but you got to believe that there is a driving force behind this team that lies deeper than the gridiron. (thatגs my Sports Reporters closing thought)
16. Broncos
-Shanahanגs experimentation is yielding little results. Snakeגs time under center is ticking. Running backs donגt actually grow on trees (or in undrafted free agency).
17. 49ers
-Small-hands looks sharp, as does Antonio Bryant and Frank Gore. If they beat the iggles, get ready for hype-city.
18. Cards
-Got pieces, but couldnגt get the puzzle together in a statement game against the גhawks. They have a lot to prove in my eyes
19. Panthers
-WTF at that reverse Punt return. Who knew a tiny wideout meant so much? All of these Merriman-merry men (myself included) need to take a look at #90. Anyone see the clip Peppers had last week? (3 sacks, 2 blocked kicks, touchdown) ho-lee-shit
20. Redskins
-Will bounce back with Clinton returning. Depending on him last year lead to a five game winning streak and playoffs. But damn if Mark Brunell isnגt fucking awful.
21. Rams
-The offense isnגt there, the defense is prone, but things look malleable, especially in that division
22. Jets
-Jericho Cotchery. Jericho Cotchery. Jericho Cotchery. I love how everyone knew Culpepper would bounce back, but Pennington gets laughed at. Show em what chyou got kid.
23. Bills
-Surprisingly to all, they arenגt sucking. Can they keep this up (doubtful)?
24. Browns
-Kellen Winslow: Quotation Machine. Muhfuckas like that need to stay away from the tape recorder. I wonder if they can lose another key player to injury (McCutcheon, Droughns, etc)?
25. Lions
-John Kitna is the quarterback and Kevin Jones is averaging like 2 yards a carry. So much for Roy boyגs guarantee. Got to keep that defense together though.
26. Chiefs
-Speaking of Quotations, how long before Herm launches into some tirade about whatever? Oh wait, it already happenedג¦ I didnגt know Damon Huard still played footballג¦
27. Dolphins
-Yeah, Culpepper actually sucks. Remember? At least the skins arenגt the only 0-2 teams to disgrace their fanbase. Joey may have to put the comb down and pick up a football before the season is dunn. Yes, the Jets are better than them.
28. Titans
-Fisher gets heated about dealing Billy-freaking-Volek. I think he is scouting real estate in Detroit/Virginia/Oakland/Phoenix right this second.
29. Raiders
-LOL
30. Bucs
-Wha happened? Apparently, facing to quarterback eating Defenses have exposed these fakers.
31. Packers
-Brettגs גtalentedג squad loses in many ways. Smart to come back with that shit O-line in tact. Brady Quinn, get ready.
32. Texans
-Rolled by the Colts in their annual גPeyton-makes-direct-TV-commercialג game. I am not saying they could have used Reggie Bush, but Ron Dayne is likely to start Sunday.

I gave them a break because they played two pretty damn decent squads. Pretty much all of the bottom-rung teams equal out in the end.

of course they can, they're the browns.

and on winslow, he's only saying what everyone else is thinking. i may be the only person (maybe 1 or 2 other browns fans here) watching their games, but he's absolutely right. why wouldn't you have him in on 3rd downs? he's far and away our best receiver.

and why the fuck wouldn't we start throwing the ball downfield? there's no argument against it...what? frye might get intercepted? we might lose? been there and done that shit...

it's fucking brutal having to watch them every week. not only because of how bad they are, but because their playcalling is SO FUCKING CONSERVATIVE. we're down 17 and throwing 4 yard outs to the fullback...

bless him for saying what everyone in northeast ohio is thinking..

Chargers are better than any NFC team

IF saints are top 20 no way pack are lower than the Raiders, Titans, Bucs or even the Dolphins who look just as atrocious

Shut the hell up, PLZ. Your overhyping of the Chargers is going way too far.

he is the biggest homer on this board in terms of football.

bar none.

they play the titans and raiders and he is gassed beyond belief.

Wiper - Do you foresee Braylon Edwards getting fucking INVOLVED in this offense?

(He's a WR on my fantasy team) and not really by choice

well its true they played bad teams sure, but they absolutely crushed them

play .500ish vs playoff caliber teams, win all the rest, thats the way to a 12-4, 13-3 record

Denver and Indy I believe where the only teams that were above .500 vs playoff teams last year

thing is i feel bad for whoever loses to oakland. thats how bad they are. and the titans.....well the titans lost to the jets.

rest of their schedule is not easy. 10 wins.

pendiana jones wrote:Wiper - Do you foresee Braylon Edwards getting fucking INVOLVED in this offense?

short answer - no.

long answer...maurice carthon is not the type of offensive coordinator that will let braylon shine...what do you remember of him at michigan?? catching 60 yard bombs, right? the way he calls, everything is either a 4 yard slant, or a hitch/stop pattern. winslow will grab the majority of balls like that...

that said, there's starting to be a LOT of talk on local radio/tv that if carthon doesn't open it up soon, he'll be gone. and that's all winslow was saying..'look, we're 0-1, we're down 17 to a team with a great offense, and we're running the ball up the middle on first and second down, and throwing a tight end out on 3rd down..'

he's right.

braylon also dropped about 3 or 4 perfect passes sunday. he's always had sketchy hands (i'll always remember the ball he dropped against ohio state on 4th and 2), but i'm thinking he thinks that he has to make a huge play every time they throw to him...

so yeah, unless the entire offense is changed sometime soon, he's looking 600 yards and maybe 3-4 td's right in the face...why would he be any different now that i think about it...he's a top 3 pick that the browns drafted...when have we EVER picked a solid player in the top 10??

p.s. pendy...who are your backups??

woah, what? sketchy hands? not saying that braylon hasn't dropped a few balls, but he's he best UofM wide receiver since anthony carter, and drops have never been a big problem. he just hasn't been able to get into a groove in the nfl yet, with his knee injury (explosiveness is the last thing to come back) and playing in an anemic offense. you think the browns haven't been willing to open up the offense as much because their qb is charlie frye?? either way, braylon is not just a deep threat.

droughns hasn't been doing them any favors either. and winslow is a joke. "let's air it out! let's run the ball!" you haven't proven shit and it's not your place to speak up. think he said that shit to carthon?? nah, he just ran in front of the cameras to call his coaches out. i'd sit his ass on the bench.

browns are a mess. ravens win 28-0 from 14 safeties.
