Very true.. And just think back when the Bills, Dolphins and Jets were better teams the pats were the basement team.

I prefer the late 80's and early 90's myself... with the Pats and Jets never making it far, while the Bills owned. Too bad I was just a toddler then...

The glory days of football.

We even won the Super Bowl in the early 1990s.

I got a friend up there upset about that. But also, upset about the 4 straight NFC title games and only 1 Super Bowl appearance. And that was a loss. One of the ones Brady and Pats managed to win.

In other good news, it was him that I crushed with my fantasy team this weekend :lol2:

I'll drink to that.

Ha! My Fantasy team starts off 1-0, winning 97-93.
The Bears D racked me up some nice points... 19 of them...
And the Johnsons carried the bulk of the scoring, as I was hoping for... 20 for Andre, 15 for Calvin.

But darn, I should have started Cutler over Schaub... then I would have kicked some tail.

Following the logic, I have to say, it's my favourite era in football right now. Things are so much better now for the Saints than they were when I first started watching, when Ditka was coaching, him and later Hasslet had you fearing what might happen on Sunday.

Whereas now I look forward to what Brees and Payton are gonna do,

EDIT: Whoops, forgot I'd switched to this nation, lol. Maurepas

Yeah M, no doubt this is the greatest time to be a Saints fan.

Sorry. I like the Giants too, just not when they play the Redskins.

I wonder who's bright idea it was to give Denver v Oakland a MNF slot.

I know that was odd.

It gave me a chance to see two teams I'd probably not personally see play all year. We don't get much coverage of either team where I am.

My own explanation.

I figured that out on my own anyway, but thanks.

But to stay on topic (NFL) SQUISH THE FISH!! ie. GO PATS

I shall see you on Tuesday. After the Pats lose.

Well, it's Tuesday, and you were saying?

(Actually, Miami wasn't half bad, Henne was pretty awsome but for the loss, I just felt obligated to rub it in a bit

)

I really got screwed in my fantasy league. I got Peyton Manning on a gamble (and what i was hoping for, a steal) in i think the 5th round. Bad choice. But i also got Big Ben and Mark Sanchez as back ups, but now starters. I made the mistake of playing Ben over Sanchez.

And for my loss, i had Nate Keading as my kicker. Luckily i also had Neil Rackers. But WTF, just my luck...

I won my first week. It was a close one though; I had Orton, Janikowski, and a small lead while my opponent had Darren McFadden, Brandon Lloyd, and Eddie Royal.

Seeing as any TDs Orton got would have gone to Lloyd or Royal (and been worth 2 more points) and that McFadden is a total beast, I was seriously nervous when I went to check the standings this morning.

Yeah that is rough. Come on Kyle Orton! Touchdown! No wait!

Rooting for the Jets again, though I'm still not sure why.

So what is everyones favorite week 2 matchup going to be?

I'm being biased and saying PHI / ATL.

That's the truth, too.

It sure looks like the best game, at least.

by **Sibirsky** » Thu Sep 15, 2011 3:58 pm

Cardinals @ Redskins.

Most important to me anyway.

by **Serrland** » Thu Sep 15, 2011 4:00 pm

Bears @ Saints

San Diego - New England

I am a Chargers fan, but even objectively I think it's up there.
