NFL talk? Questions about American football?

Bet on the Eagles a few weeks ago for superbowl e/w at 17/1 when they were originally meant to be Nnamdi's landing spot and I thought they'd get something in the Kolb deal, Vicks health will be the main issue now I think

Come on, now, really? "Potential to be another Randy Moss." I think every team in the league would take that. The Patriots with Randy Moss were the most prolific offense the NFL has ever seen. And while they did win all their rings without a so-called "big time receiver", their best offensive year was with Randy Moss. And I know this is going to open up a huge can of worms, but I would say that was the greatest Pats team ever even though they didn't win the Super Bowl. Ochocinco is only going to do wonderful things for that team. I hate Belichick as much as anyone (I've had personal contact with the man, and trust me, he is a dick) but he and Robert Kraft somehow keep getting these wonderful players and doing wonderful things with them. I hate it.

Re-reading this: I sounded kinda hostile. My bad. Didn't mean to sound that way at all.

that's a fantastic bet; they've crashed down to 8/1 now. shame really, as UK bookies dont always seem to get NFL odds right. i might have a pop on Indy at 20/1.

does anyone else do nfl accumulators in here? i've found it can be pretty lucrative, especially because sometimes the bookies seem to have no clue with handicaps. i remember in week 3, during a saints/panthers matchup, they gave the saints a +3 handicap. LOL

May I ask where in MD you live? Just curious, I have a fair bit of previous with the area.

I live in Howard County. Columbia/Ellicott City area. Where/why were you in MD?

No ****ing way. My ex lives in Clarksville.

This free agency period has been insane so far. The Eagles have definitely gotten a lot stronger and will almost certainly feature in the play-offs. Doubt they'll get to the Superbowl though.

Why do you think that? Personally I think they're (on paper) the best team in the NFL.

The best team on paper hardly ever wins the Superbowl. Take last year for example. I don't think the Packers were the best team on paper in anyone's opinion. The Patriots, Steelers, Falcons, etc. were all "better" teams. I'm not saying that the Eagles don't have what it takes to win it all, I'm just cautious because I know talent isn't the be all and end all.

im with you that they wont get there, partly though i dont think they are best team on paper even, near to it but certain other teams a bit better, vick for one wont have the shock impact of last year and people will scheme against him to limit just how effective he is, plus so many new individually good players dosnt mean they will be able to work well as a team, especially with the limited prep time compared to normal

then of course you have to remember best team at start of the year on paper is only a few key injuries away from being a lot further back
