Chips' Fun House ~ View topic - NFL 2007-2008

Tom Brady is definitely not overrated. He's extremely good. And they've only got better this offseason. I expect them to go to Conference Champs or Superbowl this year.

harrington is no vick, but he did better with them then he has with any of his zillion other teams

Dallas won't make SB. Get over it.

Colts are still strong, but I just keep having a picture of the Pats going this year and it's gotta be because of the revamped offense with Stallworth and Moss. Plus the addition of Adalius Thomas and Asante Samuel extending his contract. Pats just seem to unbeatable to me.

As for the Redskins. I can see them going .500, but 10-6? I dunno. Harrington won't replace Vick, no way. But can he bring them to .500? It's possible.

The 49ers all depend on their D and how well Smith plays. They have all the right pieces for O except the QB situation is always give or take. The Rams, imo, have actually improved their D this year. It still isn't no Chicago Bears, but it's greatly improved imo. Don't take my words out of context though. They will be 3rd in the division with the Hawks winning it and 49ers 2nd.

Mr. Green

First off a reminder that the fantasy league draft is set for tonight if this time is final. It's at 11 PM EST/8 PM PST. Also this league has an odd number of teams and can not start until we get one more team, if anyone else is going to join in the next couple of hours say so here because I probably can have a friend join in if we need an extra but I'd rather it go to someone here first.

Also I'm not sure if just no one saw it but no one has joined the pick'em league besides me and AB, I'll repost the info for that league and the regular one in another post.

As for the hype around the Redskins this year, they certain have the potential to be one of the top teams in the NFC this year, but I've heard that for the last couple years.

One big difference is there is no QB controversy this year at all, Jason Campbell is their QB for certain and has had a very good training camp and preseason and is said to be one of the better sleepers this year at QB.

Santana Moss is still great at WR and with Campbell's big arm should get a lot more chances at the deep ball, Randle El has had a good preseason and made an amazing catch last night.

Their TE Chris Cooley I think should get a lot more mention than he does as he is one of the best TE in the league right now, he actually led the team in receptions last year and and this is only his fourth year.

Only real question on offense is whether or not Clinton Portis will be ready to start next week as he hasn't played in any preseason games but has said he would have played if they were regular season games, however with how Ladell Betts playes last year while Portis was injured there isn't too many worries.

On the defensive side, the Redskins could have one of the best secondaries in the league this year if not one of the best overall defenses in the NFL.

Their signing of London Fletcher was a big boost to the linebackers and could do very well in the middle. Marcus Washington is still on the strong side and has been very good the last 3 years for them, going to the pro bowl in 2004 and having 106 tackles last year. The biggest key for the LBs could be Rocky McIntosh in his second year, he was caught out of position a lot in his rookie year but has made huge progress in understanding Gregg Williams defense and is always around the ball.

The amount of talent behind the linebackers is just as good. Shawn Springs although getting older can still take care of his receiver and Carlos Rogers should be much better in his third year. We also brought back Fred Smoot who has started for most of his career and is the third CB in our defense which gives us a lot of depth. We also singed veteran David Macklin as our fourth CB who has shown he can play still in preseason this year.

I think the safety tandem of LaRon Landry and Sean Taylor pretty much speaks for itself. Don't throw a ball high to a receiver deep over the middle against the Redskins, his helmet might end up in the third row.

A lot of people may think Campbell's play is the key to this team winning, but I actually believe the D line stepping up is the most important thing this year. Last year the running game just destroyed them and they have the exact same players starting this year, the only difference is last year almost everyone on the line was injured at some point. This year they are healthy and have done very good against the run in preseason when the starters have been in there.

Also you won't hear a lot about him but another important piece is our kicker Shaun Suisham. We haven't had a consistent kicker for a couple years at least and last year he came out of nowhere at the end of last year and went 8 of 9, including a 52 yard field goal.

So I hope that answers your question Falcon Razz

. Although they do look pretty good, I still expect them to end up at like 4-12 just because they're the Redskins though.

I would comment on some of the other teams but my fingers are tired now, I'll also repost all the fantasy league info in a couple minutes so hopefully we can fill these leagues out.

Here is all the fantasy league info again:

Current Draft Time: Tonight (8/31) @ 11:00 PM EST/8:00 PM PST

For this league we need an even number of teams to start the league, right now we have 17 teams. If anyone else wants to play and will sign up before we start tonight say so here. If I don't see a response in a couple hours or so I may be able to get a friend to join just to get us to even teams, he isn't around right now so I'm not completely sure but I want to leave it open to people here first. Also if anyone can make a list of who all the people are in the league it would be nice, some of the name I recognize (Seriously who would make a name as stupid as Romo for MVP) but most I don't. My team is GB Thunder by the way.

So far only me and AB signed up for this and I'm not sure why, remember picks can be made up until 5 minutes before game time so there is still plenty of time to sign up. Also I'm dropping the lowest score for each team during the year so if you miss the first week you can drop the 0 and not be hurt badly.

Got my friend to join to get it to even teams, now I just hope some people show up for the draft in 45 minutes...

FOOTBALL!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

I got Manning and Colts to win tonite, 27-24 Good Idea
