Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL - Week 5

[OzzyKP]

Despite winning their first two, this season is looking troubling with more mother f*cking injuries for the Lions.

Charles Rogers who we wasted our #2 overall pick on in 2003 is out for the season AGAIN. He played 5 games last year, half a game this year, and that's it. What a worthless son of a *****.

Dre Bly is injured, and so is his backup... Boss Bailey is injured too. Philly is just gonna rip through our defense. Ugh. But at least these aren't gonna be as bad as the Charles Rogers injury.

Players with tissue paper for bones:

Talk about injuries, the Bears lost Brown, one of its best players, for the season. This has got to hurt the Bears worse that Rogers loss to the Lions.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Losing to the Niners had no consequence for the Rams at all, because we still got home field advantage in the playoffs.

So since the got home field advantage that year it is OK to overlook opponents? What an utterly dumb argument! Sorry, but they aren't mutually exclusive. For example, Belicheck with the Pats hardly ever overlooks his opponents and I haven't seen it anytime lately.

Considering TO's effor the last couple years with the niners, it is getting sick to watch him actually try with Philly. The Niners should have traded him a year or two ago when his trade value was higher.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yep, and get something much greater than the draft pick. By the time he left, the Niners had no leverage.

The concept of relativity goes way over your head. A team like the 49ers has to play up to the better teams in their division. The better teams can't afford to worry about the losers too much.

Just because you've lost this discussion doesn't mean you have to attempt to resort to personal insults. The Niners had one of the TOP THREE WRs in the game. If any team is looking over that and not worrying about that, they are a fool.

NO team looks over LaDanian Tomlinson, even though he plays for the pitiful Chargers.

And the Niners were 7-9 last year, and before that were a playoff team, while the Rams missed out. Hardly 'losers'.

Btw, I bet most of the people on this thread would agree with me that overlooking a team with one of the top players in the league is foolishness.

[pchang]

It's a lot easier to overlook a top player when you know he doesn't give a **** anymore.

[Imran Siddiqui]

That may be true, but he did have 80 catches for 1102 yards and 9 TDs. And at any moment he could try on a play. Can't ignore talent like that.

[Ned]

Got my picks in.

Just a reminder.

I understand Urlacher reinjured his hamstring. That's two major defenders, Brown is the other, who are out Sunday. Ouch!

[ixnay]

Bump for week 3.

I feel so dirty rooting for the Bears, but they're playing the Vikes so I have to.

They're up 6-0.

[Jon Shafer]

Out of the 8-odd games going on right now the only one I get is Chicago-Minnesota.

[Ming]

And a great game it is

[Jon Shafer]

Maybe if everyone stopped committing so many penalties and held onto the ball.

[Tassadar500]

IND scores a touchdown. Extra point good, then there was a penalty on Diem, pushed back fifteen yards, extra point no good, penatly on Hawthorne, five yards up, extra point good.
