hedgehog Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 The first football contest (I think). Who do u think is going to make it to the superbowl, its not as easy as u think. You have to pick wich team will beat the other, in the playoffs. We will see who is the winner, and who can hang in the longest. I'am not giving away any prize, because this game will probably result in multi-winners. This is just for fun, for all the football fans. the teams are.... steelers at titans falcons at eagles niners at bucs jetts at raiders here are my picks titans beat steeers eagles beat falcons bucs beat niners jetts beat raiders round 2 bucs beat eagles jetts beat titans superbowl jets beat bucs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oesii Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 This Week: steelers at titans - Steelers falcons at eagles - Falcons (sorry z28, Mcnabb will be rusty, maybe Duece can make up for it?) niners at bucs - Bucs jetts at raiders - Raiders then: Bucs over the Falcons Raiders over Steelers Super Bowl: Bucs vs. Raiders - close game, I think Raiders win 21-17.

z28in82 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 falcons at eagles - Falcons (sorry z28, Mcnabb will be rusty, maybe Duece can make up for it?) I'm sure McNabb will play like shit, but I think Vick is gonna have one helluva time against the D. He hasn't seen a blitz package like our yet and we have done fairly well this year with that stuff. And I think S.Barber will do a great job playing spy on Vick all day. So I expect a horrible offense day from the eagles but I hope the D will pick up the slack and put some pressure on Vick in a MAJOR way. And I think Duece will get his yards (80-90) and will be ok. If not we always have Koy, and AJ in the wings waiting to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 yeah the more that I think about it, the more I think the Philly defense can be the deciding factor. The Bucs beat the Falcons twice this year easily by popping Vick and the Atlanta receivers hard in the chins. The 2nd game was funny Derrick Brooks nailed Vick on the first play of the game and he looked scared, out of it the rest of the game with low rushing yardage. I'm sure Hugh Douglas can put a licking on Vick too. I'm still surprised how well Atlanta did in the snow in Green Bay, maybe it will be nice and sunny in Philly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgehog Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 Mcnabb may be rusty, but his talent isn't totally gone. He still has a chance, and staley can still create plays on the offense, plus they have a good defense, I think they can deffinetly beat the Falcons. They just need to watch out for vick and dunn.

z28in82 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Well we'll have alkl the answers by Sunday night and hopefully the Eagles will show up and McNabb won't play too bad. I think Dawkins is just waiting to get a lick on Vick, especially the way he was beat for the TD by Shockey 2 weeks ago, he seems to be the type who would use that to make sure he plants someone next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Round One Titans beat Steelers Eagles beat Falcons Bucs beat Niners Raiders beat Jets Round 2 Eagles beat Bucs Raiders beat Titans Superbowl Raiders beat the Eagles (again just like in Superbowl XV) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 bucs beat eagles You MUST be kidding. We all know that the Bucs literally freeze up when the temperature dips, and it's gonna be COLD in the City of Brotherly Love. My picks: Titans over Steelers Jets over Raiders Eagles over Falcons (this is SUCH a tough one to call) Bucs over Niners Next week: Titans over Jets Eagles over Bucs Super Bowl: Eagles over Titans (another tough one to call. If the Eagles get by Vick, they go all the way.) I really like the Titans this year, though. They're peaking at the right time. If the Falcons do get by the Eagles, I don't think they'll get by Tampa Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Round One Titans beat Steelers Eagles beat Falcons Bucs beat Niners Raiders beat Jets Round 2 Eagles beat Bucs Raiders beat Titans Superbowl Raiders beat the Eagles (again just like in Superbowl XV) So far I got 2. Now the Raiders need to beat the Jets and the Bucs need to hold off the 49ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I got both of them wrong, maybe I can get an honorable mention if I go 0 for 4 after today Glad I don't this as a financial investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 All right! I got all 4 of the first games correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 All right! I got all 4 of the first games correct great picks, although I noticed that you picked all the home teams and favorites , if it works out that way it means that all those regular season games meant something unlike last year where the Pats squeezed into the playoffs and ran the table. It's cool both ways I guess so it doesn't get boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z28in82 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 OOHHHH well as Meatloaf woulda said 3 outa 4 ain't bad Damn Raiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 The Raiders are my favorite team. I sure hope they win next week and then win the Superbowl. It has been too long since the last one that they won (Superbowl 18 versus the Redskins....the one with the famous Apple Macintosh commercial at half time).

Cupcakus Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I can't believe how many of you really thought the Raiders would lose to the Jets... at the black hole no less... gimme a break :-) The Titans, maybe can do it, but the Jets... whatever :-) Go Raiders!!!!

Inky Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Cubs and Red Sox... I know nothing about football, and I'm happy that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Well the Cubs and the Red Sox are baseball teams. I think it would be great if they were to play in the World Series. Neither team has won a World Series in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
