2011 NFL Smack Talking Thread
Here we go boys and girls, it's finally upon us. The most glorious sport on the planet is about to kick off another season.
As in previous years anyone participating in this thread should understand it is by design a "smack talking" thread where any and all who participate should fully expect to be called out, put down and generally disrespected with relation to their opinion on the season, team or player. With that said, I'd like to provide you fools with my predictions on the schedule of the 2011 Super bowl Champions! Pre Season : Seattle vs. San Diego - win Vikings vs. Seattle - phhttt Tavaris will make a statement here... win Seattle vs. Denver - win Raiders vs. Seattle - win Regular Season : Seattle vs. San Fran - We begin our dominance of the NFC West with a stomping of Niners. Seattle vs. Steelers - We get the monkey off our back and finally beat Pittsburgh. Cardinals vs. Seattle - Our first dominant home game with a resounding win against Arizona. Atlanta vs. Seattle - After our spanking of the Cards we'll be aligned to stomp the Falcons. Seattle vs. NY - Tough game on the road too close to call right now. Seattle vs. Cleveland - Hahahahaha this one is in our pocket. Bengals vs. Seattle - Yet another display of total dominance at home. Seattle vs. Dallas - I can't wait for this one! The pathetic wussy sissy pansy ass Cowboys who get to stay at home yet again will get it handed to them by my glorious Hawks! Baltimore vs. Seattle - A tough game at home for sure. We win in a close one. Seattle vs. St Louis - Meh... forgone conclusion... win. Redskins vs. Seattle - Snurk... win. Philly vs. Seattle - Toughest home game all year. Too close to call. St Louis vs. Seattle - We'll dominate them from start to finish. Seattle vs. Chicago - Redemption for last year... win! San Fran vs. Seattle - Cruise control to a win. There you have it. The Hawks win their division, win their first home playoff game, host the NFC Championship and stomp whoever draws the short stick to go against us. On to the Super bowl for Pete and the Hawks first ring! |
Okay it's in writing now.Let's see if you get any of your predictions right.

Now we're talkin'!
So a minimum of 13-3. (LOL). I am still down on the Cowboys after Jerry let Wade wreck the team over the last few years. But Tom Landry Jr. (aka Jason Garrett) looks like he might have them headed in the right direction and we'll see what wild man Rob Ryan can do with the defense. We got rid of two anchors in Roy Williams and Marion Barber (and I was huge Barber fan - but he's lost it). Preseason starts tomorrow night against the Broncos at The Deathstar - looking forward to a lot of Tebow throwing it into the ground and tucking and running for a loss. LET'S GET IT ON! |

This year is going to be great- My playoff picks for this year: AFC: East: Patriots North: Steelers South: Houston Texans (I think its their year for this division) West: Chargers WC 1: NY Jets WC 2: Colts NFC: North: PACKERS !!!!!! GO PACK GO! South: Falcons East: Eagles West: Arizona WC 1: Saints/ Tampa Bay (its going to be reaaaal close) WC 2: Giants ... with of course - THE PACKERS to serve up back to back championships! I think this year will be a lot of fun, and the last 3/4 weeks will have more teams with a playoff chance than ever before. I think there will be maybe only 1 team per division that won't have a playoff shot coming into the final 3/4 games. WOOOO FOOTBALL! First thing I did once I graduated and moved out of my school apartment - DIRECT-TV / SUNDAY TICKET! |
Man, the Seahawks won't even make the playoffs and you got Cliff saying they will go 13-3? Look for Pete to have a couple of dreadful years and then returning to the Trojans to replace an ousted Lane Kiffin.
Unfortunately, my Titans are looking to have a sorry season which doesn't bode too well in the AFC South. Who knows??? |

I typically don't have much to contribute after about 3 weeks of the football season, but I'll go with my regular for the past few. Let's do this 9ers!

You got Matt and Jake. Considering the Titan's current qb lineup vs the predecessor I wouldn't be dogging your team out before they even step on the field. |

Here's our defensive guru - (the one on the left)...

I will wait till i see at least a spark from the Cowboys before i make my predictions.Right now on paper the Eagles look to be the beast from the east.I expect Green Bay to take the north.I see Pittsburgh having the Super Bowl LOSERS HANGOVER:(.Baltimore will move to the top in afc north.Patriots and Jets will fight over the east.Texans and Colts do battle over the south title.Chargers should take the west.The nfc west is a toss up,but i like the 49ers.nfc south will be between Atlanta and New ORLEANS.I'll clean this up after preseason.;)
|
I think Jake is a good addition. But we have CJ holding out right now, need him to have another 2000 yd season to give us any hope.
|
"Okay it's in writing now.Let's see if you get any of your predictions right."
Numero uno in the books. :rolleyes: All three qbs looked pretty good and our defense was great in the second half. |
You know pre-season games do not matter. The niners went 4-0 last pre-season and looked what happened to them.
|
Cliff, I was ready to light you up for your prediction about the Chargers game last night but I'm glad I waited. Nice win in preseason but we all know that doesn't count for anything. The Seachickens getting over 12 wins? I highly doubt that but what do I know, I'm a Cardinals fan! I'm just glad we have FOOTBALL!!!
|
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, there is nothing better than tuning into this thread every year and basking in Cliff's wrongness! You left off Arizona at the end of the schedule, but I'm assuming you would predict a win there as well for a Seachickens 14-2 record for 2011. That's just too funny!!
I'm actually pretty stoked to watch my Rammies this year! They are definitely rolling in the right direction and I've NEVER seen them so active in free agency. They signed Sims-Walker, will hopefully re-sign Mark Clayton and will get a bunch of receivers back from injury, so Sam Bradford will have plenty of targets. Plus, they signed Cadillac Williams to give Stephen Jackson some relief, which is nice. I'm not dumb enough to predict a 14-2 season, but I will predict an NFC West title and an appearance in the playoffs. Go Rams! |

Let the smack begin!!
My playoff team predictions: NFC: 1. HAWKS!! - Every year I make this prediction and I've only been wrong twice in the past 8 years. Seems like a safe bet this year too! 2. Eagles - The Miami Heat of the NFL 3. Packers - Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in football right now. You might not be convinced now, but wait till this season is over. 4. Saints - Last year was a let down for Brees, but he is still the best QB in that division. 5. Falcons - Too much talent indoors to keep out of the playoffs. 6. Lions - Call me crazy, but Detroit needs some good news. AFC: 1. Patriots - if Ocho is half as good as Moss was a few years ago, watch out. 2. Chargers - Jackson back from the start will help Rivers put up 30 points a game. 3. Ravens - might be Ray Lewis' last shot at another SB. 4. Texans - this is the year they beat the Colts 5. Colts - can't keep Manning out of the playoffs 6. Steelers - I hate making this pick. |
Poor Hawks haters. Do yourselves a favor and get on board!
Dave, It wouldn'be right if i didn't screw the post up in some way. I'm a tardy on this smart phone. Should have checked the word doc before copying over. You know my prediction on the Cards game anyway. WIN! |
Anyone catch last night's game - #50 for the Texans was a stud! I really like how the Texans played, they may have a legit shot at that division this year.
|
How 'bout dem Rams!! First team puts up 17 points on the Colts scoring on 6 of 7 drives with a couple interceptions and nice stops from the D. They appear to be way deep at running back with Stephen Jackson (he didn't play), Cadillac Williams (11 carries, 40 yards, 1 TD and a 3.6 yards-per-carry average), Jerious Norwood (8 carries, 37 yards, 4.6 average) and Keith Toston (11 carries, 64 yards, 1 TD, 5.8 yard average). Of course, Sam Bradford is a stud and AJ Feeley backed him up nicely. First round pick Lance Kendricks tore it up. It will be nice to see the Rams with a good receiving tight end option.
I'm almost glad that they play Philly in their first regular season game cuz that would be an amazing win if they can pull it off. They definitely got jacked on their schedule though. Probably the toughest first 7 weeks in the NFL. I wish we had the Seachicken's schedule Cliff listed above. Philadelphia Eagles New York Giants Baltimore Ravens Washington Redskins Green Bay Packers Dallas Cowboys New Orleans Saints Arizona Cardinals Cleveland Browns Seattle Seahawks Arizona Cardinals San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks Cincinnati Bengals Pittsburgh Steelers San Francisco 49ers |
So pumped my boy Kolb is in AZ throwing to Larry Fitz now!

Quote:
Arizona Cardinals Cleveland Browns Seattle Seahawks Arizona Cardinals San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks Cincinnati Bengals Pittsburgh Steelers San Francisco 49ers .... other than the Steelers, thats pretty weak |
Colts only played the starters for one series.
|
So last night Eagles v. Steelers..... eagles did NOT look like they were hyped to be.
Vick had 3 picks, their start studded pass D was picked apart by 1st and 2nd string qbs. ... honestly the only thing that looked good was McCoy |
Quote:
|
The Pats looked scary good already last night, their O and D line were killing it.
|
I just bought my 4 tickets to the Nov. 6th Cowboys v. Sea Hawks game!!! Bring it on Cliff!!!
May the best Cliff win!! if you make it down, we will be tailgating before and after the win. Come on by |
Cowboys got it this year, all that way. I want Aaron Rodgers and Matt Flynn to get hurt so Graham Harrell can shine!
|
Mcnabb is getting some Hawk smack down already tonight!
Go Hawks! Cliff, I've got to take you up on that. I'm going to see if I can work a trip out. |
Seahawks in the Playoffs?? Bwahahaha! No way! EXTREMELY bold predictions there Seattle. Tavaris Jackson? REALLY?? I'm a 'Skins fan and say we go 9-7 and miss the Playoffs. Last year we were 6-10 and lost 8 games by 4 points or less so last season could very well have gone another way...we did manage to beat the champs! I think we do better than that this year...at least I hope so...

Phhhttt... You have no faith in your team. Another wishy washy wanna be football fan.
Even though we lost (due to Williams butter fingers) Clip Board Jesus looked really good. I'm beginning to think he may steal the starting position. |
Well Dallas sucked again and it wasn't even close.I know we didn't have our starting corners,but they were running all over us too.With all new backs too.Still waiting to see some defense.:(

Wishy washy?? How am I wishy washy?? Because I'm not busting out of the gate claiming a 16-0 season and a Super Bowl title? I am a true fan and have been a 'Skins fan since I was a kid growing up near DC. I'm a realist though and know that eventhough I think we can and will have a good year there is no way I would expect or predict a Championship. That just sounds like a ridiculous pipe dream...get real...

Cliff, when you said Williams di dyou mean Golden *****? ***** dropped a pass the first play of the game that woudl of been a 20 yard gain. He also dropped the ball that got taken for a pick six. I am assuming the pick six is the play you are talking about. The Hawk O line looked ok in run blocking other then when they couldn't punch it it from 2 yards out on 4 plays. They should of run a bootleg one of those and they would of scored. On the other hand they were terrible at pass blocking People are hating on TJax but he had no time at all and made good decisions even under pressure. The only real bad throw he had was the deep one in the endzone where the safety came across and almost picked it. He should of thrown that farther outside to Williams or looked off the safety if he was going to throw it to Rice. Clip board did look good when he came in but I would like to see him get a shot with and against the ones.

what's wrong with fans out there in California. A couple of people laughed in the comments about football being a family outing. Well, it's still a family event here in north Texas!!!
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_yl...tadiumshooting |
Here we come Denver!
|
Another solid performance from the Rams starters against Kansas City last night. 3-0 and two of those were really solid games, so it's been a good pre-season so far!
|
Dang!!! KC 0-3 preseason. It's only preseason, it's only preseason, it's only preseason
|
Well Dallas wins 23-17.But the defense still looks suspect.I'm still waiting to make my predictions till next week.:D
|
Wow, Seattle looked like garbage. Hopefully it is just the preseason but I have a feeling Seattle is going to be in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. I would rather sacrafice one season to get Luck.
|
After 3 weeks of preason I'm thinking Arizona is the West winner, StL close behind, Hawks and 9ers fighting for Luck... Alex Smith is a such a turd.
Patriots looked pretty ugly against the Lions |
Locker is looking like a stud against the Saints.
|
Arizona will have its hands full when the Rams come to town! 4-0 In the preseason, but more importantly, the starters left the field with a lead in all but one of those games. Rams had 3 really solid games in the preseason and if they can get through the first half of their schedule with a few wins, there will be nothing stopping them.
|
Finally...!
The first regular season game tonight! PIcking Green Bay over the Pats.;) |
You mean over the Saints I'm sure
|
Niners over the Seahawks on Sunday too :)
|
Oh come on!
I throw bait out there like that and only one person bothers to correct me??? Hawks will dominate! |
Willis and Smith are going to destroy Tavaris Jackson! Niners offense might not put up big numbers, but they will put up more than the Hawks.
|
TODAY IS THE DAY ! WOOOT!
So many good games - thank god for Sunday Ticket! |
Rams open the season with a nationally televised game. Gotta love that!! Don't worry, Seachickens. I'm sure you'll have a national game next week! :)
|
Hawks are taking the Niners down today!
Watching Dave's Rammies, looking forward to seeing Bradford in action today. Hopefully Jackson isn't out already. |
Holy cow!
Not a good day for the Rams.:eek: |
Quote:
|
Six of the Rams top seven players get injured. That game started out beautiful and ended sooo ugly. Bring on Terrell Owens!
|
Week one in the NFL.Eagles soar,Grossman delivers,Cutler shines,Big ben sucks and Steeler defense looks old.Can the Colts win without Peyton?Cam Newton looks good even in a loss.49ers know how to get Ginn going,Detroit wins,San Diego finally gets a fast start,but still has special teams woes.Jaguars eek one out over the Titans and the Bills crush the Chiefs.More later.
|
Quote:
Cam Newton huh?! Was it for real or was it a fluke?!!!? Colts look like ****, not just Payton being gone, 100% of their team looked awful. |
Dallas found a way to lose with a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter.First time in franchise history.
|
The Jets didn't beat the Cowboys, Romo did.
|
Romo didn't have to win it,but he thought he had to make up for the fumble.:rolleyes:
|
Im pretty sure there was some ignorant play calling by Red Jesus in there too. Let's throw the ball 3 times on 1st and goal at the 3 yard line, which is what lead to the Romo fumble. Who doesn't run that?
|
Cam Newton... hahaha
When you run 8 rushing plays all game it's not that hard to hit 400 passing yds. The W goes to Kolb and the Cards. That a boy KK! |
The cowboys looked great, except Romo. He is the worst. Nothing like watching Vick in the morning and be amazed at his abilities and than watch Romo make error after error and than laugh about it, to realize how he sucks. Yhea Arizona looked good. Should be a good year.

Hawks scratched their way back into the game then gave it away with lousy special teams play. Tavaris looked awful the first half but showed signs of ability in the second. It'll be interesting to see how we fair in Pittsburgh after their performance yesterday. We might have a chance if our O line starters show up.
|
"Seattle vs. San Fran - We begin our dominance of the NFC West with a stomping of Niners."
Nice prediction. |

#92 is going to kill T-Jack.... Pay the fine and kill the backup before half.... and I hate the steelers.
|
According to the answer key above provided by Cliff, they "get the monkey off our back and finally beat Pittsburgh." I'll keep an eye out for that! :)
|
Starting this week, I am going to put 20 on Cliff's picks. But I am going to take the opposite pick, regardless of the point spread. I would be up 20 after Week 1.
|
It's Friday night.Where's the SMACK?Who's going to DOMINATE who?
|
PAckers are going to murder the Panthers... Cam Newton throws for 225 yards, 1 td, 4 picks... welcome to the nfl
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the Seahawks to beat the Steelers, but no way in hell that is actually going to happen. Hopefully the Saints can knock-off the bears, I hate the bears. Oakland goes 2-0 San Fran plays well and Romo is Romo 9ers have a chance |
Finally!
I was locked out for three days! Never got to talk smack before yesterday's game and from the resulting arse whipping we took it's a good thing! Funny thing is... we win at home against the Cards this week (which we will do) and could be tied for first place in our division.:D |
Quote:

Haven't heard much smack this week.How's Seattle going to do against Arizona this week.;)

I got AZ.... Cliff, wanna put $10 on it? :D

JAC @ CAR -- Panthers get their 1st win
SF @ CIN -- San Fran goes 2-1.... Frank Gore destroys Cinny MIA @ CLE - Mia in a boring ass game NE @ BUF - Shootout with NE on top NYG @ PHI - Philly if Vick survives, if he is knocked out in the first half then NYG DET @ MIN - Detroit !!! I have to be in MLPS for work all next week so I'll probably catch this game since they'll be giving tickets away HOU @ NO - I think the Texas can win this DEN @ TEN - Titans, CJ will finallllly get going NYJ @ OAK - THE RAIDERS!!!!! Black hole eats Rex's fat ass BAL @ STL - If Jackson is playing and 90% I'll say its a tossup. Rice vs. Jackson in a shootout (if Jackson doesn't play - Ravens) KC @ SD - Go Chargers, GO! ATL @ TB - I really don't know.... both teams have been lame this year. I'll go falcons because Roddy White is a stud ARI @ SEA - I like the Cards in this one GB @ CHI - PACKERS !!!!!!! #52 is going to ass-pound Cutler to bits. PIT @ IND - Big Ben keeps his record going and rapes another, this time, the colts WAS @ DAL - I like Washington in this.... don't know why, most likely because I hate the cowboys. |
Here we go...
We finally get to play a team at home! With the attitudes and complacency put in check by Pete and the game being in our house we win! San Fran wins St Louis loses |
Cliff is predicting a win for the Chickens??? I DID NOT see that coming!

I'm up 45.00 (I decided to up my bet just a bit) after Pittsburgh's shellacking of the Seahawks. I think Seattle begins the season 0-3 after a loss to the Cards. How much longer will Pete be welcome in Seattle???
Titans surprised me with their play against the Ravens. Maybe the surprise team in the NFL this year? |

Some great games.... here is what I've learned through week 3:
Seahawks won a divisional game.... which means the seahawks won against a ****ty team. 9ers are on top of that division and I see the season ending that way Packers are the team to beat in the NFC (and NFL)... their defense could use some work but Rodgers and everyone he has to throw to are awesome. The mighty Tom Brady is human.... Patriots offense maybe the best in the league, but their D is sort of like a coffee filter, it'll slow stuff down but not stop it. Cutler is worthless. RAIDERS!.... Run DMC is a stud. Detroit is for real. |
still shaking my head about the Cards/ Seahawks game... ouch.
|
Well Tony Romo and the Dallas Defense proved even though they were banged up they could win.Despite numerous missed holding calls against Washington on Demarcus Ware.Muffed snaps,wrong routes and B/S spearing call against Alan Ball with a legal hit on Santana Moss.The Refs couldn't help the Skins.EVEN though they had their blinders on when Dallas was on D,but they didn't miss any ticky tac calls on Dallas.The true test will be next week when Dallas has to play Detroit.They need to play better to beat a Quality team like Detroit,unlike the Overrated Skins.;)

13 of 16 on my predictions last week. Let's see how I do this upcoming weekend.
