SilverDragonSoun Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 So guys which teams have the best uniforms, colors, logo, best looking ect.? I'd vote for the Raiders and Chargers. I think the Lions have some real potential but they look so blah. What's funny to me about the whole uniform thing is how many women like the colors of the Miami Dolphins.

Geoff Grace Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 At 1-4, I was just about to decide that the Packers are a worse team than the .500 club I thought they would be. Then, I realized that the four teams they lost to have a combined record of 17-3 (one 5-0 team and three 4-1 teams). So, while I really don't expect a Super Bowl victory for Green Bay this year, maybe things aren't as bad as they look. The real test will come during the three weeks following this week's bye when Green Bay faces opponents with a combined record of 4-11. If the Packers can beat those teams, there's hope for a respectable season yet. http://homepage.mac.com/musicproduction/.Pictures/Packers1.jpeg GO PACKERS!!!

Magpel Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 A wee bit OT: PLAY ALONG IF YOU WANT: What are the 5 WORST losses in your history as a sports fan? To make this list, the loss should have cost you a night of sleep or at least some protracted abdominal discomfort. It should remain an active wound, too. All sports allowed. Two of mine come from the NFL 5. Sac Kings losing game 6, and then 7 to the Lakers. I'm not even a Kings fan (though I did enjoy the Bibby-Webber Kings in their brief prime). I'm a passionate Laker hater, but more, game 6 will be remembered forever as the single worst case of biased officiating, outside of the WWF, in any sports event and the brith of a thousand conspiracy theories. Ugh, it was awful to watch. 4. Jim Everett bomb to Flipper Anderson in OT, Giants lose to Rams in the playoffs. Can't even remeber the year. '88 or '89. Parcells' second best Giants team. Mighta gone all the way. 3. 'Niners ridiculous 2nd half comeback against the Giants in the first round a few years back, culminating in the botched FG snap. It would be hard to imagine a worse half for any football team. Effectively the end of the Collins/Fassell era. 2. Yankee dynasty ends with Mo on the hill in Arizona. An error, a bloop, and bango. The unthinkable. That was the end of that great Yankee team and thus the beginning of the current embarrassment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .. . . and in sole possession of first place by a mile, my worst ever loss as a sports fan is.... 1. Keith Smart and Indiana beating my beloved Syracuse Orangemen in heartbreaking fashion in the '87 NCAA basketball tournament. That one upset me for a good long time...pretty much up until Carmelo and the boys redeemed it with the championship win over Kansas.

meccajay Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I can think of a few.. don't know the order. 1) Eagles Superbowl loss to Raiders, 27-10(Jan 1981). 2) Titans Superbowl loss to Rams 23-16(Jan 2000) 3) UNLV loss to Duke 1990 (lost money on that one) 4) Titans Championship loss to Patriots, 17-14(Jan '04). 5) Eagles superbowl loss to Patriots, 24-21(Feb '05).

In so doing they gave the USSR multiple cracks at the miracle. I don't think it was biased officiating, just wildly inept.

Along with the Miracle on Ice, this is the other Olympic moment which I can never forget. Like the Kennedy assasination, we will never know the truth. It just seems impossible that they could make the same mistake 3 times.

antimatter Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Originally posted by Magpel: 4. Jim Everett bomb to Flipper Anderson in OT, Giants lose to Rams in the playoffs. Can't even remeber the year. '88 or '89. Parcells' second best Giants team. Mighta gone all the way. That game had two distinct memories for me. One was the Rams first offensive series. LT (the original) was banged up. I believe he had a broken foot and a separated shoulder. Or maybe a fractured foot and bruised ribs? Whatever it was, any other player would have been done for the year. Well, in that first series, LT sacked Everett not once, but twice, and forced a fumble. Giants Stadium was rocking with the loud chants of LT! LT LT! He pretty much died out after the Rams decided to block him. The second memory was Simms throwing an INT; right before the half that went for a Rams TD. I bet Parcells remembers it very well. Simms too. They could have sat on it, it was deep in their own territory, yada, yada, yada. Two other bad sport games for me include: The Knicks- Ya gotta dunk that Sh$t! Charles Smith missing over and over and over and over. Patrick Ewing and the finger roll. 7' 2". Finger roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorSilver Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Probably the worst Charger loss was to the Houston Oilers in the 1979 playoffs. The 79 Chargers were generally thought to be the most balanced of the Air Coryell era teams and thus had the best shot at winning a Super Bowl, if they got there. Unfortunately in that fateful game, Dan Fouts was intercepted 5 times. The Chargers defense disintegrated over the next few years as talented players such as Fred Dean left for the 49ers and not much effort was expended in replacing that lost talent. The SuperBowl lost hurt at the time, but that 94 team got there with a lot of luck rather than sheer talent. Nobody was going to beat the 94 49ers. Good luck to your Packers, Geoff! Miami and Arizona should be winnable for you. Thanks for all the love for our AFL-era throwback unis! Rumor has it the Chargers will sport the 1981 Air Coryell-era unis sometime this year - possibly against the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDragonSoun Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 One of my all time worse lossess, staying within the NFL: Immaculate recepion by Franco, great play, goood for Steelers fan, for Raiders Fans like me. Worse loss outside of Football: SF Giants losing the World Series to the Angels. I thought we had it during game 6, man that one hurt.

Clearly Hagler won nearly every round in that fight and hurt Leonard a couple of times. this was one of the all time robberies. But its par for the course in boxing.

I think Green Bay is good enough to get past those two, maybe even Buffalo as well, although the Bills have improved and are possibly even better than their 2-3 record would indicate.

Magpel Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Wanna hear something funny? The early games have just come to a close. For the rest of the football weekend Jay is the only one whos stands to gain or lose anything in our pick 'em pool. His KC-over-Pitt is the only, he ONLY- dissenting, non-majority pick in all remaining games. Otherwise, unanimity.
