The Official 2010 NFL Thread

The reason I started following the Seahawks was because of Hasselbeck.
He can be an awsome QB when he is at the top of his game but that has been shaky.
I'm not crazy about how they have played the last 2 seasons but don't underestimate them.
After all...they shouldn't have won last week?

chicago > seattle, barring any more magic from hasselbeck and lynch (who drops 8 tackles?)

steelers > baltimore

looks like corey and i both have the pats > the jets
i fully expect to rex ryan being taunted with foam feet at gillette on sunday

let's go get a god damn snack.

Well I am a Packer fan and so I hope they win and I hope the Bears win. I would love to see a NFC title game between the Pack and the Bears. Nothing against the Seahawks just how cool would that Bears Packers rivalry be! And I am pretty confident it will turn out that way.

The AFC game I want to watch the Steelers play the Ravens. That will be a match game. No idea who will win it.
Pats should be a ho hum land slide win over the Jets.

I'm a fan of Hasselbeck, too. Fun fact, he's from the town next to where I grew up.
Is his brother still playing in the NFL? They both went to BC, of which I am a fan.

His brother is an NFL analyst on ESPN.

My guesses are Bears over the Seahawks (Sorry Granny), Falcons over the Packers in the NFC and Steelers over the Ravens, Jet's over the Patriots in the AFC.

I have had to reassess EVERYTHING since I was totally 0 for 4 last weekend.

Steelers<Ravens: This will be a dog fight, they split their record during regular season. These teams are well matched for each other, great defenses, I think Ravens made some good acquisitions in WR this season, will make the difference and Ravens are due. If they aren't too beat up, the winner may go all the way.

Packers>Falcons: Falcons, have never been overly impressive, they lost to Saints in last game with their infamous goal line fumble. Falcons are good, but not at the next level yet. They won't be able to survive against the Pack playing like that. Clay Mathews will have at least 3 sacks.

Seahawks>Bears: Jay will get 3 interceptions to add to his record of notoriety. Seahawks will come in and be more consistent than they were last week. This will be a close game.

Patriots>Jets: It won't be a route but Patriots will prevail. The problem with the Pats is defense, they aren't that good against run. They can certainly sustain a shootout. This will be a problem in the divisional championship.

I think everyone's "man cave" is ready

4-0 this weekend FTW!

I cant wait for the games. I am super excited about the Pats game. I really hope they are able to shut up Rex for a little while. I will be rooting for the Steelers because I think if the Pats win they can handle the Steelers better than the Ravens.

you're from new england corey, what are the chances you heard wes welker's press conference this week? it was nothing short of magical, he made 6-7 foot references in it. you know that somewhere he's collecting a few hundred bills from his teammates on that one. the best two were "....put our best feet forward" and "....good little foot soldiers."

for those of you who might not get the references: Michelle Ryan Foot Fetish Video? Rex Ryan's Wife's Maybe Movie Surfaces (VIDEO)

edit: found a montage of wes making the references. apparently it was 11 references:
