Official NFL Season 2005 Thread


Recommended Posts

Damn why isn't anyone posting? Well I can't edit the last one so I have to commit the cardinal sin and triple post :blush: .

Awesome Giants game tonight. Eli started off hot but the second half the Giants' offense as a whole didn't do much of anything. The defense has looked great though. Six takeaways and limiting McAllister to 47 yards and no TDs? I'm very pleased :yes: . Plus in two games only 103 rushing yards allowed? And 69 points scored? It's all good. Traveling to San Diego next week should be a good barometer to see where we're at. So far, so good. Would like to see less penalties, though. Especially dumb personal fouls. Let the Saints keep a drive or two alive with encroachment, too. That has to stop. In a close game those penalties could've cost them dearly.

edit> Holy crap! The Redskins actually came up clutch?!?! C'mon 'Boys get that TD back! Not just a FG but a TD. Pleeeeeease, for the sake of my picks lol. That would be perfect.

O it would've been great if he broke that return.

:ermm: what the hell was that. WHy wouldn't you run to the marker?! Wow.

Geez, this game suddenly became interesting in the last 5 minutes.

seriously, who expect that won? not me, but I am happy to see that Portis is not the only good offensive player on the Redskins, great won with great performances by Moss and Brunell without even using Portis.

niners lose bad i love it,

omg the raiders play the egales next week omg 0-3

I'd rather be a young team like the Niners than a team like the Raiders, full of veterans and old coaches, who are going to start off with a WORSE record than the Niners.

Different players for the Raiders, same stupid mistakes. I remember them racking up penalty after penalty when Art Shell was head coach...glad to see nothing has changed in 10+ years.

I'm not saying they don't have a tough schedule but have you seen San Diego's? They play Pittsburgh and at Indianapolis, compared to the Raiders playing both Dallas and Cleveland at home. Plus, the Raiders have 3 straight home games with a BYE thrown in there. So, the NFL hates the Raiders but not that much. :laugh:

Can somone explain to me in basic English (for a Limey) the 4th down rule? Was watching NFL on five last night, someone scored a touchdown but it didn't count because of the 4th down rule?

586552732[/snapback]

Can you be more specific about what happened? As far as I know, there is no "4th down rule".

I'd rather be a young team like the Niners than a team like the Raiders, full of veterans

the raiders only have 11 of their 50 players are in their 30's(22%)

Badger, Brad

Collins, Kerry

Crockett, Zack

Hamilton, Bobby

Jasper, Ed

Sapp, Warren

Sims, Barry

Treu, Adam

Walker, Denard

Washington, Ted

Whitted, Alvis

most teams get older but the raiders get younger

only Shane Lechler(P)(29) will be 30 next year

other teams

49ers, packers 8

bills 11

most teams dont show ages

Can you be more specific about what happened?  As far as I know, there is no "4th down rule".

Some googling tells me that the 4th down rule is that you have to punt or kick if it is the 4th down. Seems to only really exist in computer games though.

You don't have to but usually you do unless it's 4th down and reeeeally short yardage and you want to take a chance or you're down by so much and it's near the end of the game that you can't afford to kick the ball away. Usually you choose to punt away because if you go for it and do not convert then the opposing team receives the ball at the last spot. If you punt away, obviously you send them back.

Man the Colts are still doing it with D. That's nuts. I can't believe they only scored 13 against Cleveland but still won.

Miami's going to do it again?!?!?! I can't believe this. I expected Miami to be better than a lot of people expected but not beat Denver anmd Carolina to be 2-1 after the first 3 weeks. I though the Jets game was their best chance at a win in the first three and they win the other two. Geeeez. Crazy NFL lol. I guess that's one of the reasons you have to love it! :D Doesn't help with picks though lol. :pinch:

Anyone ready to accept that Palmer's a GOOD QUALITY NFL qb yet? :p

A ton of early games are coming down to the wire today. Quality games.

On the foxsports.com NFL scoreboard, anyone know what the FP* stat column is?

Ok I'm going to go watch the NE-Pitt game. I'll be back at either halftime or the end of the game to continue my commentary lol.

Couldn't edit anymore so have to post again. So, apparently San Fran is a completely different team at home than on the road lol. Friggin insane. Of course Dallas is helping them with the turnovers.

edit> Man, clutch drive by New England.

O Bledsoe to Keyshawn coming up huge!!!

Edited by bigbluepride35

Woooooow! Lucky. They could've let that go. Morgan still DROPPED the ball.

Hell of a game. Adam Vinatieri's going to be the hero again. ;) I hope.

edit> w00T!!!!! O yeah go me with the call lol. Acutally anyone probably could have called that. Goodbye Big Ben's regular season winning streak! Brady was SOOOO clutch in the 4th quarter. Well, the whole Patriots team was clutch. And THAT folks is why Brady is the best QB in the league. :D :D

BTW, after the Giants the Pats' are my second favorite team. I'm not just excited because of my pick 'em pick lol.

Awesome game overall.

Edited by bigbluepride35

I dunno looks like LT might be about to have his breakout game of the year. :unsure:

edit> Forgot to mention. Anyone see David Akers kick the winning field goal with bad hammy and all and then collapse on the floor? Never thought I'd say what great heart for a kicker lol. Why didn't Philly dress another kicker?

Oof. This is getting ugly quick. Our defense looks like it's in slow-mo. :(

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
