NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list... This is a fairly high volume ping list

[SoldierMedic]

About two hours till kickoff for Seattle v Pittsburg, aka

Super Bowl XL Redux

[mainepatsfan]

Bad timing for Seattle coming into Pittsburgh following a Steeler loss last week.

[SoldierMedic]

Seahawks got pretty banged up in last weeks game against San Fran. It’s looking like it’s going to be a very intense game.

[Terpfen]

Here’s hoping the referees get the game right this time.

[Terpfen]

Bold prediction: the Miami Dolphins will lose. After all, they are the Houston Texans' bitches.

[mainepatsfan]

And this year the Texans can actually play.

[MarkL]

Interesting note: For many years, at least 20 or so, every Chiefs home game has been sold out. This year, at least 4 home games have had tickets for sale. In fact, today's game against the Jaguars was going to be blacked out, but the local Entercom (the radio group) radio stations stepped in, and bought up the remaining tickets, and gave them away in contests on the air.

A big part of it is that the Chiefs have been raising their prices every year, including this year. The cheapest tickets are $69 each. Club level tickets are $103 each. Mark

[SoldierMedic]

Agreed

[mainepatsfan]

That should be an indication to them that it maybe time to hold off on anymore increases.

[mainepatsfan]

Here’s hoping the referees get the game right this time.

Steeler fans pouncing in 5..4..3...

[misterrob]

Inactive players for the Patriots today:

QB Matt Gutierrez (3rd quarterback)
S Rashad Baker
RB Laurence Maroney
OL Wesley Britt
C Dan Koppen
DL Santonio Thomas
DL Kareem Brown
OLB Chad Brown

Ted Washington is out for the Browns

[mainepatsfan]

Good timing for Neal to get back into the lineup.

[misterrob]

Maroney being out another week is interesting. If he is going to be a fragile guy then expect the Pats to draft a RB on the first day next draft. This is where that draft pick loss is going to hurt since they need to draft LBs and DBs next year.

Any idea what’s up with Koppen?

[MarkL]

That should be an indication to them that it maybe time to hold off on anymore increases.

At least while the Chiefs are stinking up Arrowhead Stadium... Especially after the tax payers of KC agreed to some serious $$$ for upgrades to the stadiums.

Mark

[Dysart]

Laurence Maroney-Any word if he'll return by next Sunday?

I sure hope so. Barber and Moroney match up would be delicious.

[misterrob]

Sammy Morris is establishing himself as the Man on this team.

[mainepatsfan]

Koppen got shaken up last Monday but he came back in. I guess he’s just still sore.

[scott says]

Game I will be watching-—
Early- Pats/Browns- Cleveland is a strange team, they might just score 30 points today...
Jacksonville/Kansas City- KC was a surprise las week at SD, Jax is a team to watch, they maybe the Dark Horse of the AFC.
Pittsburgh/Seattle- rematch of SB 40, want to see how the Steelers bounce back after last weeks poor performance.
Late-Indy/Tampa Bay- want to see if TB can pull off the upset as they have been playing very well and the Colts have injuries....could be a recipe for an upset.
***Game of the Week-—Denver/SD-Chargers are in desperate shape and need to win to turn the season around.Denver has been struggling and would love to put the Chargers away....this game will go a long way in determining the AFC West playoff picture and its only week 5.
GB/Chicago the Bears are in the same situation as SD...A MUST win for the Bears-—
