on New Jersey soil. Anyways, home game or not Baltimore straight owned us this year. I knew their Run D would again shut us out and we have not won too many games where we had to go bombs away. Hopefully we improve in the offseason and take it from there.
I'm more pissed about the coaching vote though. Sparano should've won because we went from worst to first in our division and worst to 3rd seed in the playoffs.
Were you hiding all year to finally bitch about your Cessnas anyways? They didn't suck until later into the year when it counted.

its pretty funny everyone is counting out the titan despite them having the best record in the league and lost 2 games, the last one being without chris johnson or kerry collins where they barely tried. yes raven's have good d, but CJ will got apeshit on their D and Kerry will still be bombs away with that clutch accuracy. and with albert haynesworth coming back, the defense will be back into its top of the league status
that being said:
Titans
Eagles - i feel the upset brewing with dawkins mcnabb and westbrook finally playing with the damn hunger to win
Panthers - no way in hell can they beat the panthers, Deangelo Williams is just too good, and Peppers will constantly drive Kurt Warner's ass into the ground.
Steelers - aside from the fact that i am a raiders fan and would pick any team, even the lions, to beat the chargers, LT is not full strength and Darren Sproles is phenomenal but facing a Steelers team whose D brought them into the playoffs with a killer LB crew, psychotic Polamalu, and a bullrushing D line, SD will be kicking 40-50 yard field goals all day for their points

Sorry, but that team will be in the hole for quite some time to come. Coaches can only do so much.

DEAL!
Turdberger is going to get douched. We sacked him 4 times in our last meeting when we were playing shitty. We held Manning to basically 1 TD as the other was a bullshit play. QB's sustaning concusions never fair well the game after. He'll throw at least 2 ints.
As far as our offense, ya got anyone quicker then Sproles? Nope...My only real concern would be the weather and how Rivers will handle it. They guy just can't throw picks like he did in our last meet.
Either way, its going to be a great game

I think the Steelers offense has been ranked around 29th all year in the league.. Smack talk on our offense won't do much for you.. The numbers speak for themselves..

Not quite. Russel is garbage, O-line has a few shitty players, who are your WR's?? Your D sucks completely. Besides Asomough or whatever the hell is overrated name is, I cant name any other players on that D.
Sorry, but that team will be in the hole for quite some time to come. Coaches can only do so much.

my man how can you be so wrong?!
jamarcus is still developing and looked solid as hell against the , our o line is a player or two away from playoff beastly-ness, our D line is really amazing even with derrick burgess and kalimba edwards injured, our LBs are solid with kirk morrison(pro bowler) and up and coming tim howard, we agurably have one of the top 5 RB tandem with fargas, mcfadden, and Big Bush. Our safeties = killers with michael huff and gibril wilson! and it is asomugha (pronounced awesome-wow). all we need is a solid leading receiver target for jamarcus russell. we have arguably the best returner with jonnie lee higgins who can become a superb all around guy with receiving and returning.
if we get that receiver and the couple o line player along with a coach who knows how to call plays and work with the players, we are playoffs for sure. and not an AFC west 8-8 playoff team, but a 13-3 or better divison champs team.

My picks:
San Diego > Pitt. Pittsburgh is pretty beat up (though they did get the week of rest) but San Diego is really ramping it up. I also want to see Ron Rivera show how much better his D is than Babich's will ever be.
Carolina > Arizona. The dream ends here.
Tennessee > Ravens. This is going to be a hell of a defensive game. Could go either way, but I'll go with another former Bear coach to win.
Eagles > Giants. Just because that's what I want to see. It will give Eli more time to dedicate to the DSRL gheyness with his brother.

In all fairness, Oakland was rated 10th in pass defense in the NFL. Their rush D killed them as they ranked 31st. I don't think Awesome-wow is overrated as I keep reading he's a top corner. But someone needs to
