#1 Posted: 9/8/2008 10:23:22 AM Mark Bulger is going to get killed by that Giants pass rush. 
The Giants offense should have little problem with the Rams defense just like Philly. Plaxico can pretty much do whatever he wants these days. Eli is getting better every day and Jacobs is a horse. 
Seriously, this might be the best team in the league versus the worst team in the league.
The Giants won something like 12 or 13 straight road games last year.  The road doesn't phase them at all.
9 points doesn't seem like a lot.  I'm probably going to bite on the Giants -9. |

#2 Posted: 9/8/2008 10:28:05 AM I know I made a thread like this about the Colts this week and looked like a fool but come on the Rams are absolutely horrible. 
They were horrible last year and they are going to be equally horrible this year. Bulger looks like a shell of his former self and has no confidence behind that shitty offensive line the Rams have.  |

#5 Posted: 9/8/2008 10:35:39 AM Well this game has a very good chance of becoming win # 44 in that category. 
How are the Rams going to deal with that Giant pass rush?  They were in the backfield before Portis and Campbell had a chance to move on Thursday and Washington has a better O-Line than the Rams do. |

Yea and you're Mr Know it All that never lost a game before. I understand that. 
I didn't guarantee anything. I didn't say LOCK. The game looks like a total mismatch.  |

My point was the public is going to be all over the Giants just like they were all over the Colts, Pats, Chargers, Bungals, Lions so on and so forth.....
It's was not a personal attack so calm down.

Losing the best quarterback in football for the whole game means nothing to you? 
And don't even try to put Detroit- Atlanta, Bengals-Ravens, and Panthers-Chargers in the same category as this Giants-Rams game.
The only game of those 5 that looked similar to Giants-Rams as far as blowout potential was the Colts-Bears game.  |

#14 Posted: 9/15/2008 11:11:59 AM boot your own thread a week later with just a popcorn guy emoticon 
this to me is unacceptable and should result in a boxing...complete emoticon abuse coupled with being a arrogant fool rubbing rams backers noses in it. 
somebody chain this fool |
