NO WAY do the Dolphins beat the Cards. After what YKH did, lord only knows what the Cards' passing game will do.

After what the Bears did, let's see the Colts try and stop A.D.

I agree. I see the Cards starting 2-0, and the Colts are in serious danger of starting 0-2.

Also, the Bears-Panthers game pits the two big week one upset winners against each other.

Let's see if the Panthers can win a game at home for once. They have about a .300 home winning percentage this decade.

 

[BillD1984]

My Week 2 picks (barring any major injuries in tonight's games). The two night games were my toughest calls, but I ulimately went with the home teams.

CHI-CAR

NYG-STL
NO-WSH
SF-SEA
ATL-TB
NE-NYJ

MIA-ARZ
BAL-HOU
PIT-CLE

PHI-DAL

Picking the Lions to win?

Where's Paul to throw everything offguard and convince you that the Lions have no hope?

Upset.. there was no upset, the bears expected to win that game. People dont realize how good the bears can be. They are under estimated and under picked.

I expect the bears to do the same to Carolina. Orton has allways been a decent QB. He was just never utillized because lovie smith had a hardon for Grossman.. Dont know why but he did. Now that its out in the open how much Grossman sucks, and Orton is finally getting the shot he should of had a long time ago. He only made a few mistakes last night, but it was alot less than what Grossman would have made.

Love the new avatar Bill. That old school Patriot Logo was awesome.

I can also see the Chargers starting 0-2. They play @ Denver next week. Last night, Denver went into Oakland and embarrassed what I thought would be a much improved Raider team on the road. Cutler is clearly the best QB from his class (Leinart, Young) and Denver is always tough at home.

What a strange start to the season with NE losing Brady and the Chargers and Colts in danger of starting 0-2.

 

[SabresRule]

Too bad the team wasn't.

Except for 1976-78 and 1985-88, those years consisted of not-so-good teams, including the worst team in football history, at least according to Bill.

That won't happen (unfortunately).

Doesn't look like I'll be needed to talk anyone out of picking the Bengals.

Actually, from 1976-1988 the Patriots were very competiitive (except for 1981 when they went 2-14). They just more times than not choked in a big game.


On the other hand, the 1989-1992 version of the Patriots was historically awful. They were the laughingstock of not only the NFL, but ALL sports.

 

[HD MM]

I will be in attendance for the Browns vs. Steelers game this Sunday Night! Can't wait. This weekend can go one of two ways for me. Let's hope Saturday night won't spoil my fun on Sunday!

I remember them wearing this back in 2002 against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day. It was a thrill to see Brady, Bruschi, Willie, and the boys in these uniforms/helmets! :up

 

[SabresRule]

I remember them wearing this back in 2002 against the Lions on Thansgiving Day.

And they demolished Detroit, like EVERYONE does.

BTW, is that the only time New England has played on Turkey Day?

They just more times than not choked in a big game.

It wasn't entirely their fault they lost.

1976- They were screwed by a bad call.

1978- Betrayed by their coach.

They also played the Lions on Turkey Day in 2000............and the Lions demolished them. It was Belichick's first year as Pats head coach and he pulled Bledsoe late when the game was out of hand. He put in a young rookie making his pro debut................a guy by the name of Tom Brady.

Also, in 1984 the Pats played the Cowboys and lost on a last second FG. I believe that's the only three times the Patriots have played on Thanksgiving Day.

But in 1977, 1979, 1980, and 1984 they got off to great starts (8-2 in 1980) and missed the playoffs in each off those years, because they played terrible in December.

 

[SabresRule]

in 1984 the Pats played the Cowboys and lost on a last second FG.

That 23-year wait was probably worth it when they smashed the Cowboys in a game that got more hype than it deserved.
