I wouldnt count on that. Philly will take them at home and they will drop 2 to Washington. They have their number for some reason

Why would I do that? We're 3-1 and on top of the AFC West. We went punch for punch with our biggest rival and we always have trouble in Arrowhead.

And for a couple of guys who were making such excuses for the Miami debacle (Dolphins always play us tough, rivals, division game...ete) I figured you and Jason would be a little bit more humble about this.

Guess that division rival argument only goes for the Pats, eh?

They won't even win their own division, much less make it TO the superbowl.

Giants will win the division and will probably eliminate Dallas in the playoffs (unless Philly does it first) if the Cows don't self-destruct by then.

I mean, they tried to pass the ball to Team Obliterater 17 times, he caught 7.. and says he needs the ball more if the team is going to succeed. Give me a friggin break, did you ever hear Randy Moss sayin that last year? Hell no. Team Obliterater is going to obliterate the Cows this year if they don't shut him up.

The Chargers are my pick to win the Superbowl as of right now. It changes week-to-week, but barring any huge injuries between now and then I will probably stick with them. It's going to be Chargers vs Eagles.

First their big rival was Oakland and now its KC

So let me guess, their "big Rival" is who ever makes them look awesome, or a good excuse when they look bad?

Whats wrong that game give you a serious reality check? I think you needed it to pull your head out of the land of make believe

Id have to agree on that to unless the Colts start to look like the colts again. I think the Eagles have what it takes to over come the Giants and TO is going to end up being a Cancer on the team before the end of the year

Why are we being so harsh about the Broncos losing to the Chiefs?.. Because you talked them up to be the best thing since sliced bread. You said Cutler had the best arm/accuracy in the NFL, yet he goes out and throws 2 picks against the CHIEFS. The Broncos had about 4 turnovers and couldn't get anything going against KC. Larry Johnson ate the defense up for around 196 or 197 on the ground and it's not like they have a great O-line. They got smoked on both sides of the ball by a terrible team.

The Pats always have trouble with the 'Phins, but at least your team had their starting QB. We haven't been saying Cassell was so great; we said he wasn't going to cut it.

They're 3-1 now, but they'll be 3-2 and tied with the Chargers after next sunday.

woo go steelers! too bad they aren't really looking so hot this season, I wish they'd play every game like they played the second half last night.

I can't believe they were down to the fourth string on running backs last night...that's not good!

Looks like the Steelers lost another couple of players: Mendenhall and Simmons are out for the season.

Yeah.. So now they're without their top 2 rb's and without their starting RG.

And now, Lane Kiffin is no longer the Raiders head coach.

Well, at least parker only has a strained knee...Mendenhall fractured his shoulder, so that pretty well sucks.

Injuries not looking good for anyone this season.

No kidding, it's hurting everyone. But it can be a good thing, it allows teams to develop more talent in their backups.

Raiders are actually a better team this season. I think Al should have given Lane the whole season. If he can get his team to play a solid 60 min's he'd be .500 without a doubt.

I think somebody needs to come around and buy the Raiders from Al Davis.. somebody like the owners of successful teams like the Pats, Colts, Steelers, Giants, Eagles, etc. An owner who will actually allow the coaching staff to stay around for a while and get everything worked out instead of trying to turn it around in 1 year.

Do you not follow the history of the AFC West? I shouldn't have to explain the rival situation to you.

Reality check? Not really. It was pretty obvious after the 2nd game that the defense had issues, and the offense had their first bad game of the year. Then you factor in that we're 3 and 10 in Arrowhead since Shanahan took over and this game wasn't really a shocker for Denver fans.

Lots of QBs have thrown 2 picks in games, those things happen. Johnson had a good game but most of those yards came on 3 very big runs, the rest of the time he was held in check.

And I'm not sure which game you watched, but we certainly didnt get "smoked" since we were right in the game until they scored on their last drive.

The Pats always have trouble with the 'Phins, but at least your team had their starting QB. We haven't been saying Cassell was so great; we said he wasn't going to cut it.
Click to expand...
Ok, so you obviously recognize the difficulty of playing a division rival, and you were the one who mentioned how you lost to the lowly Dolphins during your Super Bowl run, so maybe you might want to reconsider your stance on this issue.

They're 3-1 now, but they'll be 3-2 and tied with the Chargers after next sunday.

Got your crystal ball out eh? Well I hate to tell you, but I don't see us losing to the Bucs.
