Official 2007 NFL Season Thread

Congrats to rookie Anthony Gonzalez in finally scoring his first career touchdown. He destroyed that corner (playing for an injured Chris McAllister) with his route running and exhibited great YAC for a 50-plus touchdown.

Vikings played solid against the Cowboys earlier this season. We'll see what happens.

I guess you haven't noticed, but this year the NFL has sucked at the rush. All the bests are scoring average to low, while a team no one takes seriously who has a good rusher comes out and gets some big yards against stupid teams (IE the chargers). Their #1 in Rushing just means they're the best of average in the rushing game versus the teams with better rushers who have a passing game.

Their defense is a good defense, that's all the Vikings truly have. Chester Taylor however, seeing his job come into threat by the rookie after he sucked horrible the beginning year, certainly has come to show he can still run the good run.

So yes, Mediocre.

NFL has sucked at the rush or has the NFL rush defense gotten better? Your argument fails.

As long as they continue to play the way they're playing, I'd say they can pull off an upset or two.

To quote Ron Jaworski, "Points come out of the passing game." I didn't used to believe this back in the 1990s, but it's become true now.

The fact they're still around after being so awful is shocking enough, next year they'll be a real contender assuming they draft well.

Pats v. Jets

My prediction: 77 - 13

[Thief Silver]

I was thinking this game was going to break 100 total points.


91-13

[Yoshi]

If the Jets score 13, the entire defensive staff should be fired before the post-game press conference.

That said, if I'm Mangini, I find subtle ways to offer bonuses for hurting Brady.

[Othello Harrington]

Actually, I'm going to go against all logic and say

Pats 21
Jets 14

It will be tougher than you think, the Jet's will be way up for this game, and they seem to believe in their coach. They are a legit QB away from being competitive in this cap stuffed NFL these days.

Que: Chad Henne btw.

If it wasnt for spygate and all that shit I'd say this was the week the Pats were primed to lose. They've just beaten the 3 hardest teams to beat supposedly for the rest of the year, so this would be a let down game if Mangini hadn't opened his mouth.
