NFL 2007 Season Thread

[quote name='yummytyson']Where do I find the schedule?[/quote]

Official schedule isn't released until April but you can check out who's playing who & where here.
 
it's not hard to figure out who you play...

You play your division twice.
For Example:
The Steelers play:

@Baltimore, vs Baltimore
@Cincinnati, vs Cincinnati
@Cleveland, vs Cleveland

Then you play a division in the opposing Conference.

The Steelers play the NFC East:
Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Dallas

Then you play a division inside your conference(not including your own).

The Steelers play the AFC South:
Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Houston, Tennessee

Finally you play teams that finished in the same position you did in your own conference:

The Steelers play:
New England and San Diego (They already play Indy so that team isn't included on this list)

What a joke. The only sub .500 teams the Giants play are the 49ers, Panthers, Ravens, Bengals and Rams and I expect the Bengals and Ravens to be much better next season.
 
Well if you play in a decent division, are rotating against a decent division, and made the playoffs there isn't really much you can do.

I know but there's got to be a better way to balance things. The Patriots are basically getting a free ticket to the playoffs next year - they got 6 wins from their division where 8 wins would have won it outright. It's crazy - 8 wins got the Eagles last place in the NFC East.
 
Well, the Punt/Pass/Kick Girl got invited to Gillette Stadium by Bob Kraft to watch this weekend's AFC Championship game and get a real winner's welcome. Plus the Colts fans looked like a bunch of immature douches, so I'd say it ended up working out.

I'm tempted to stick with the Giants this week over the Pack..

Looks like an interesting schedule for da Bears. I just hope that the Jacksonville game isn't a slaughter.
 
[quote name='Mattte']Damn...hard schedule for the Pack, I'd say #2 behind the Steelers (Only 2 under .500 teams?!)[/quote]
At least they get the Cowboys and Colts at home, but their road schedule does look formidable. The Packers can only get better and the only thing that worries me are injuries...and whether or not Brett will return next season ;)

Both the AFC South and NFC East sent three teams to the playoffs this season.

Well I hope your not implying the pats had an easy schedule this year. Don't forget they beat dallas, washington, giants, indy, san diego all who made the playoffs. They also beat Cleveland who barely missed the playoffs.

weakest division in the NFL in a while

Of course they had an easy schedule. Six "tough" games (you forgot the Steelers)? They could have lost them all and still won their division by 3 games. That's the definition of an easy schedule.
 
Wait, people are mad at the Colts fan for booing a kid wearing a Pats jersey?

Shit, i'd do the same thing if some kid was wearing a Dodgers jersey at a Giant's game.

Not the Colt's fans fault, that a dumb bitch decides to rep' the Pats in their house.

Seattle had an easy schedule, they played two playoff teams and only beat one, Tampa Bay in week 1.

The Patriots had an easy road into the playoffs with their weak division, but by no means was their schedule 'easy'. They beat nearly every contender except for Green Bay.

If you can pencil a team in for 10 wins before the season starts, that's an easy schedule. Of course they had a great season going undefeated but it doesn't mean their overall schedule was difficult. Overall they faced teams with a combined .469 winning percentage which isn't exactly overbearing.

I would say that they had an easy time making the playoffs, but they had to go through just about every contender to go 16-0. Unlike the Dolphins, who didn't play a single playoff team, and not a single team better than .500, in their perfect season.

You mean what have the Knicks come to? I remember during Eagles pre-season, the biggest cheer of the night was when the Phills won their game accross the street.
 
[quote name='Illini Jeeper']Ernie Holmes of the famed Pittsburgh Steelers "Iron Curtain" died in a car accident in Texas at age 59.

Story[/quote]
Crazy. A bad-ass like him goes down probably because he didn't wear a seatbelt :/
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']Let's start our predictions for Sunday:

Patriots 42 - Chargers 14
Giants 28 - Packers 21[/quote]

Youre the first person thats not a Giants fan (that i've seen) who picked them to win!!!!!

Anyway, here are my picks:

Pats win 35-24
Big Blue goes to the superbowl! 28-18

what playoff teams had a tougher schedule.

Also the .469 win % is taking 2 teams they played twice with what a grand total of 5 wins out of 32. It isn't there fault that miami and the jets don't know how to manage there teams. The colts had opp winning record of .515...and that is throwing in the undefeated pats into the mix..you take 2 or 3 wins away from the pats, and the winning % of colts opponets drops into the same area as the pats.....yes the the division the pats in is arguably the weakest, but there non division opponets were solid teams. It isn't like the afc west is a solid division...no other team besides san diego with a winning record..the nfc north was mediocre...the nfc sout was shitty, the nfc west was boarderline shitty/mediocre. The best division record wise was the afc south as they had no teams with losing records. And we saw how good the colts opponets winning % was above. Better then the pats, but not much and either removing the colts playing the pats or the dolphing getting another 2 wins, and the opponents winning % would have been closer.

Hes a Vikes fan, so it still doesn't count.

The 49er dynasty was the same way. Their division sucked and they always had 6 easy wins every year. That didn't even count the other bad teams they got to play. Atlanta, St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams and the N.O. Aint's. Six easy wins every year.

You can't really blame the Pats or the Niners for that matter, that other teams don't know how to build their teams. You play whoever is on your schedule. If those teams suck, they suck. It's sad that some get such an easy road to the PO but that's how it goes.

That and I got a feeling that the G-Men have at least one more upset to pull off this season. Too bad for them after this they will lose to the Unbeatable Giant known as the New England Patriots.
 
As a diehard New England sports fan it's my honorable duty to predict that the Patriots will win by a considerable margin. That being said:

Patriots 41
Chargers 17

[quote name='Chrisr291']for the love of everything holy... someone please... beat new england.[/QUOTE]

the only way new england doesnt win it all this year is if brady goes down. i think the only team that had a chance to beat them was indy.

i just hope green bay wins so we can see a high scoring super bowl.

speaking of which, we should do another super bowl pool like last year
 
The wind gusts and low temp will keep the score down in the AFC championship I think. I'm saying 27-10 Pats. I really got no feel for the NFC game it all depend son which Eli shows up.
 
[quote name='Soodmeg']The mannings, 2 sport tv ad is about god damn Oreos. Fail...fail....and more fail.[/quote]

yeah thats ridiculous, i saw it the other day. very dissapointed i am.
 
And the Pats are on the board. I am loving this game. Being a Pats fan means I have to hate the Bolts.

I want nothing more than to see LDT cry like the bitch he always does. Classy my ass. Only if they are winning.

Lets see if Rivers can actually manage a game. My vote is no.

fINALLY! someone else thinks that classly act is BS. Rule one of being classy is to not call yourself classy.

SD can have field goals all day long..I just want this game to be over so the local sports station will stop playing san diegos theme song!
 
WOOOOOOO! Give the ball away Rivers. Give it away. Asante for President!

GET IT GOING PATS! GET IT GOING!


But yeah Homeland that classy act is comeplete bull. How can you be the classy when you call out the other team, then gloat about how classy to are while doing it.

Your team talked all that shit during the week then got spanked. I dont recall him calling out his own players and telling them to not run their mouth.


TOUCHDOWN! PATS!

I can feel Rivers getting ready to blow it.
