I don't think Oakland or NY would pass on Vince Young...unless his audtions(passing drills/mechanics analysis) fail to impress. Do you the fans of those teams would stand for that?

Right now, it depends on the coach. mangini is a defensive guy, and you need the push up front in order to get to the QB. If you have that, your secondary improves, teams score fewer points, etc. Besides, Edwards is being compared to Peppers, and the Jets need a superstar athlete to put pressure on the run, and the QB. The best defense is a good defense, in my book. The Raiders are a bit iffy at this point, there are more than enough weapons-Moss, Porter, Jordan and Kerry Collins is still efficient. There are other QB's who are available later on in the draft who can be great NFL QB's. Young had a great game, but he needs to work on his mechanics, and he needs to show he can read defenses, which was a problem of his. An NFL scout, who is a family acquintance has told me that Young has so much raw talent, he is a top 10 pick, but only on a team that can allow him time to learn and develope. Back to the raiders, though. They need some front seven help and would take Kiwanuka if available, or Demeco Ryans the LB out of Bama, seeing as they had one of the worst defenses in the NFL. But, it all depends on who they name as head coach.

The Jets' GM has already said that he doesn't plan on taking a QB in the draft, and add that along with the fact that there are so many other holes on this roster to fill, I can really see them passing on both of the top 2 QBs. What I would do is take D'Brickashaw Ferguson if he's still available at the 4th pick, and if not, trade down and try to get multiple 1st rounders. Also, with the big need at RB the team has, Lendale White of USC would be a great pick.

Ultimately, I think that the Jets will bring in a veteran QB to challenge Pennington for the job, and draft either a defensive player or a lineman with the 4th overall pick in the draft.

Well, I was half right, congrats to both the Steelers and the Seahawks for winning, and earning the right to go to Super Bowl XL. I think having the off week might slow down the Steelers momentum, and give Seattle a chance to plan more efficiently for their blitz. Should be a fun game, as I set up a TV for the bathroom so I do not miss one second of the commercials. Babelicious Jessica Simpson is doing another Pizza Hut commercial this year. Alright Steelers and Seahawk fans-let's here from you who is going to win and by how much!

Tough loss. I know how it feels. We lost at home in OT to the friggin Jets because of missed field goals... Again. Condolences...

Now that that's outta the way, I can offically root for Pittsburg. I always liked Cowher because after SD beat them in the AFC championship game in '94 he was very gratious in defeat.

Saints hire Gary Gibbs-former Oklahoma head coach and LSU defensive coordinator as their new defensive coordinator. Good hire by Payton.

Not really. But it gives the Seahawks more time to think they can pick up our blitz - - which will make it all the more humorous when Joey Porter shatters Hassleback like a large pane of glass........glass with an ugly uniform.

Thank you! So I'm not the only person who thinks that Seattle's home uniform is ugly as crap. To me it looks like a high school football team reject uniform. Ugh. Upper St. Clair's uniforms are even better than that.

Okay here's my exact prediction:


Steelers 34

Seattle 24


I see some pretty good scoring especially later in the game with both teams moving fairly well through the air. But I see Hasselback making a few mistakes under relentless Pittsburgh pressure.

I'm pulling for the Steelers, mainly because I can't say "I'm rooting for the Seattle Seahawks" with a straight face (I tried and failed miserably). Honestly, this one doesn't really grab my attention too much, the Patriots aren't in it and the team I'd normally root for (49ers) have been awful for the last few years.

I'm rooting for the Seahawks. I usually root for the NFC since the AFC teams are usually rivals of my Jets (Patriots 3 times in the last 4 years, Oakland a couple of years ago, and now Pittsburgh).

Oh dear god, NOOOOOOOOO!!! :D Please don't let this become a done deal! lol :( Well, if it should happen that Denver does get TO in a trade, they should and most likely will make him sign an incentive contract in which TO will only get paid if he shuts his trap and plays to the best of his ability and potential. The Eagles made the mistake by giving him a huge amount of money right off the bat and then having him start to complain and whine about how "47 million isn't going to feed my family!!" I tell ya, he better not pull any of that :tup: if he becomes a Bronco!! Johnboy007, your an Eagles fan aren't you?? You'll probably be laughing your :D off if TO comes to Denver!! lol [censored]
