Members Miket156 Posted August 28, 2005 Members Share Posted August 28, 2005 It doesn't matter how many points you score if you can't stop anyone from scoring on you. Anyway, if you beat a lame opponent 51-3 one week, it kinda makes those point comparisons useless. Mike T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Geoff Grace Posted August 28, 2005 Members Share Posted August 28, 2005 Yeah, it's true that a discussion of the top teams overall would be different from the current discussion about the top offenses. Green Bay had the number one NFC offense in points scored, but did poorly in the playoffs for the very reason you mentioned, Mike.

Members GregCh Posted August 28, 2005 Members Share Posted August 28, 2005 keep in mind I have no loyalty to a team in Yahoo fantasy football. Its not critical that they win games.

Members girevik Posted August 29, 2005 Members Share Posted August 29, 2005 Originally posted by GregCh Any predictions in the top 5 offensive teams this year ? What category? The Chargers were middle-of-the-pack in offensive yardage, but #3 in scoring. They could be in the top 5 in scoring again, with the OL returning intact, as well as all 3 Pro Bowlers (LT, Brees, Gates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by Miket156:I hope the natives don't get too restless with TWO football threads under KSS. If that's a concern, then maybe this year we should start the pool thread over at SSS; or we could keep it at its old home, The Keyboard Corner. I can't imagine that either Craig or Stephen would mind. Best, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Miket156 Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Geoff:I don't know about putting the Football game pick thread on SSS. That Forum has a VAST number of contributors, many of them don't hang on KSS. Others do, of course. The other thing is, that Forum turns over almost everyday. The Football thread might get lost. But it's not my call. I was surprised there are no Football threads on the KB corner on MP this year. Just because db isn't the Moderator now doesn't mean the folks that just hang there lost interest in football. So far, no one's complained, so who knows what's up on MP. Mike T.

Me being the mod was why football/basketball/etc threads got started and were kosher - I made them be On Topic. Now that the KC is officially Keyboard Magazine''s forum and the moderator isn't a sports guy, I'm not sure if the football thing would fly over there. dB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GregCh Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Originally posted by Geoff Grace Green Bay had the top scoring offense in the NFC last year (424 points). Minnesota was second (405 points). However, both teams were bested by the following AFC powerhouses:Indianapolis (522 points)Kansas City (483 points)San Diego (446 points)New England (437 points)It's hard to predict who will improve and who will decline this year, so make of that what you will.Best,Geoff Hey guys, thanks for the excellent advice.

Members GregCh Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hey Mag, I appreciate that. I was referring to potential on point production. With WR's in fantasy football, its feast or famine. Porter is an awesome player. If the defense doubles Moss , Porter is there. Defenses are going to have their hands full.

Members Miket156 Posted September 3, 2005 Members Share Posted September 3, 2005 How about the way the Bengals beat up on the Colts? 38-ZIP. Damn. I was watching the highlights and for a few moments I thought that the teams had mixed up uniforms in the locker room! Then when I saw Peyton Manning get creamed, bounce off the turf and lose the ball, I knew it was for real. I saw the highlight of the pick old Peyton through into traffic. It didn't look like anything the Colts tried to do did anything but get exploited by the Bengals. Maybe this is Cincinnati's year of promise fulfilled?? There might be some changes in the AFC this year, as in who goes to the playoffs and who sits home. Place your bets gentlemen.My Steelers continue to look LAME. QB Big Ben says he's not concerned. Really? The passing game is not in sync, and Ben's not throwing well. The starting offense has yet to score a TD. The highlight of the game against Carolina was after the Panthers took out their starters and Bill Cowher put in Charlie Batch at QB. Charlie has been injured 2 out of the last 3 seasons and has only played in 3 games since coming to the Steelers from the Lions. Cowher wanted to see if Charlie was recovered enough from last year's injury to justify a spot on the roster. Batch responded with the best play I've seen out of a Steeler QB in the preseason. It was great to see how excited he was when he threw a 55 yard bomb to Morey in the end zone to win the game. Charlie was high stepping down the field like a college QB that just won the National Championship. Not all preseason games are boring. Mike T.
