Dont get me wrong, I think Tenessee is playing the best football of any team not named the Colts
Chargers would be mad.

Then the Chargers are welcome to prove me wrong by beating Tennesee. They get their chance this week.

I say Chargers 35-17.
And to the people saying Ravens are a top team, ninja hit it on the head. A top team does not commit penalties like they do.

What do you mean? Green Bay is the most penalized team in the NFL and....

Sigh. You are absolutely correct.

Penalties:

1. Packers 109
2. Bengals 101
3. Eagles 100
3. Cowboys 100

Penalty Yards:

1. Packers 988
2. Ravens 944
3. Eagles 834
4. Cardinals 795

There seem to be a few "top ten" teams in those stats.

Okay so I'm wrong... but whatever.

I will have to decline your generous offer. I'm old, and I saw what happened to the Talmaranian King in Prince Caspian when he fought a youngun'. If we were fighting over mint ice cream, that would be different.

Hehe... okay so how about them bengals? Okay yeah no caps or extra !!!!!s because honestly... they're starting to let me down.

Wasn't he actually killed by an adult? I'm not saying that means something... but wasn't he?

I wasn't talking about the getting killed part. What are you suggesting about lightningninja?

I was talking about the whole getting beat up until I have to ask for a respite. Sure I would have gotten a few good shots in using years of violent movie scene ideas, but eventually my age and his ninja skills would have had me limping back to my corner.

Again, I'm not saying that means something...

For some reason, I was thinking that LN is 17. Perhaps he's an adult and I goofed, but regardless, the Narnian killer wasn't a youngun'.

Anybody else following tonight's game with the amazing powerhouse known as the Washington Redskins? They've managed a whopping -14 yards in the first half!

We are just playing for a better draft pick now...

My team is at one its lowest points in franchise history. Thankfully, we have a GM for the first time in 10 years, instead of a "Yes Man" in an executive blah blah position and a great chance to have Shanahan as our next coach. Our first round pick from last year, Orakpo, is panning out and Fred Davis has emerged as a playmaker. But the list of bads are so much more...

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I thought LN was a teenager also. In Prince Caspian, the Talmaranian king fights the teenage Peter. They both take a beating, but Peter would have killed him if the king had not asked for a respite. They had two respites I think. Anyway, the king goes limping back to his corner complaining to his companions. Eventually, Peter wins, but doesn't kill the king. He offers the king's life to Caspian, who also chooses not to kill him. When the king returns to his companions, one of his advisors (generals maybe?) then kills him with one of Susan's arrows to make it look like the Narnians killed him.

So, although I agree that an adult eventually kills the king, I was referring only to the fight between the aging king and the teenage Peter.

The Talmaranian king was arrogant and refused to believe that a kid could beat him. Soon the Colts will play a "kid" and lose.

As it is, the Vikings seem to have fallen victim to the "backstabbing."

Great segue!

But my Colts are more like the High King Peter than that Talmaranian King.

about the Vikes, with all the shilly shallying about who runs the team in Minnesota, I am now REALLY interested in the Monday night game!

Eh, that's where I goofed. My bad.

Anywho, I'm expecting tomorrow to be a good game when the Chargers beat the Titans. And I'm not just saying that because Stamp needs Chris Johnson's fantasy stats -- I'd like to see the Chargers have some good playoff position. After all, without a team in L.A., they're all we have left...

Mark Sanchez.

The Titans Lost but Johnson ran for 143 yards and a score. That puts him at 1872 for the year. I think the record is out of reach but a 2000 + yard season is easily within reach for him.

To break the record he would have to rush for 234 in his last game against Seattle. Its not outside of the realm of possibility that he could break it. He already has a 228 yard game this year.

So I guess it is possible that he could break it, just not probable.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #322 on:** December 28, 2009, 01:36:33 AM »

My guess on the Chargers-Titans game was almost dead on. I predicted 45-17 Chargers. With the Colts I also said Mark Sanchez would beat them. I am the man.

STAMP · « **Reply #323 on:** December 28, 2009, 11:00:56 AM »

Let's start at the top:

Colts: Wishy-washy to me. One week it's go for 16-0, the next it's don't go for it. Very likely a quick playoff exit.

Saints: Defense has awoken from their dream-state and all witnessed the harsh reality. Also a likely quick playoff exit:

Chargers: With LT's and Gates' resurgence, NO ONE wants to play this team!

Vikings: Days of Favre's Lives. The Young and the Senseless. Go ahead and pick your own soap opera name.

Eagles: After the first half of the Broncos I was thinking they were just as scary as the Chargers. I'm not sure after the second half of that game.

Patriots/Bengals/Cowboys/Packers/Cardinals: All five 10-5 teams have shown brilliance similar to the Chargers. All five teams have also looked like the Lions at times. Maybe one of these teams can catch lightning in a bottle for three playoff games.

The Two AFC Wildcards: The Patriots will thoroughly thrash the #6 seed. The Bengals are an enigma at this point, so their outcome against the #5 seed is a mystery.

Everyone Else: Of the rest, the three teams I like the most to make the jump to the playoffs are the Falcons, the 49ers, and the Favre-led Dolphins.

Wishy washy? Have you watched their games this season? Jets played a great game and Colts were up til Peyton came out. Chances are they will make it to the Super Bowl.

AS dream does not last 13 or 14 games of the season. Quick playoff exit? Yeah right...

This has happened every year with San Diego idk why people make a big deal about them they always lose in the AFC championship or the game before.

Eagles: After the first half of the Broncos I was thinking they were just as scary as the Chargers. I'm not sure after the second half of that game.

This team has been wishy washy beginning of the season but they have really stepped it up past few weeks. One bad half, they still won, but one bad half does not define their team.

Not one of these teams has ever looked like the Lions. Maybe they have been beaten badly but that was when Aaron Rodgers threw 3 int's one game and Cardinals had 7 turnovers in one game. Other three might have had a bad game but never like the Lions.
