Hi, there. Chargers fan here. Would you like a punch to the face? :)

Seriously, let's not start insulting other teams and their fans in this thread. Or at least do it in a more productive way than the blunt statement you just made, please.

Next week is NOT a must-win, but it is big. Won't be easy though.
...Getting beaten by the Colts hurts that much apparently. :twisted:

Just close the doors to the fans, they do it in soccer once or twice.

Yep Jets are facing a (Colts replacement?) strong AFC South team.

It's shocking because this isn't happening in one of the traditional asshole fan havens like Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Oakland or (newly realized) Detroit.
That being said I don't entirely understand the blind hatred for Cassel. I mean he's not Brady, entirely, but the front office didn't exactly do him any favors in the off season by hiring more defensive players over wide receivers and letting go of Pope. Could he be throwing a little better? Yes, but again his receivers have been off the mark a few times in the "highlights" that I've caught on ESPN.

As long as Jebus Freak and his 5 minute throwing motion is kept off of the field things don't look so bad.

The Niners seem to be doing really well. Not only has their defense performed as well as it has been [excluding the Vikings game], but their offense is loaded with talent and is producing like crazy. Them and the Falcons are my NFC front-runners so far.

I wonder if there's a chance we could get that Harbaugh Super Bowl that I was craving last year . . .

So the score should either be tied at 14 right now or be 14-10. NOT 17-7.

Sanchez makes a few good passes, then ball tipped and picked. Although should have had a TD to Cromartie. That one really grinded my gears.

That's the point. My Texans are fecking brutal on D this season. J.J. Watt has tipped 7 this year, 3 for INTs. We don't fluke tipping for INTs, we're just one of the strongest defences in the league at the moment.

How? they spent the money on their ticket. As long as they don't turn to physical threats, there's not much you can do. And a clarification on the story, the fans didn't start cheering until after Cassel was lifted up by his teammate, so they were more likely cheering that he wasn't seriously hurt, rather than cheering him beign injuried.

Also.. the J-E-T-S can't beat a playoff team from last year!

Postby Qazox » Mon Oct 08, 2012 9:32 pm

It's time for the Qazox NFL Super 7!

Only 7 teams are good enough to make this list. Only the 7 best teams this season (so far) make this list

#1- Houston Texans (5-0) LW #1
#2- Atlanta Falcons (5-0) LW: #2
#3- Baltimore Ravens (4-1) LW #3
#4- San Francisco 49ers (4-1) LW #4
#5- Chicago Bears (4-1) LW: #7
#6- New England Patriots (3-2) LW: NR
#7- Arizona Cardinals (4-1) LW: #5

Out of the 7 (for now): Green Bay Packers

and the Bottom of the Barrel team going into Week 6 is: Carolina Panthers. Weren't they and Cam supposed to take it to next level this year?

Thursday's game prediction: Pittsburgh 31 @ Tennessee 21
