Nope......the real handicappers play the line. You in or out?
I'm not talking about handicapping, I'm talking about who is better. You think the Aints are, I know the Cowboys are. We are so deficient in all areas as you have pointed out so surely your coaches have gameplanned Romo by now and have figured him out. Especially since he isnt NFL caliber.
I'm not interested in if Brees can suck out a cover in garbage time after getting housed all day. I'm interested in who will WIN. So if you want the money line let me know. That way the winner wins and the loser loses, not the loser sucks out a meaningless cover

I have watched nearly every game since as ive told you before i have duece on 2 and brees on 1 of my fantasy teams.
Hmmmm, i think you are right . A qb who has their team in 1st place but without him they would be near the bottom should be MVP. Sounds like:
ROMO!!! ROMO!!!! ROMO!!!! ROMO!!!!! :cheer:

:cheer:

Bad weather game tonight .....could be an upset brewing. If you are a COwboys and/or Saints fan...you gotta pull for a GB win...for potential seeding purposes.
Assuming you beleive Seattle will take the west....and Dallas/Saints take their respective division.

Never said we would COVER, I said we would WIN.
Obviously, you dont feel the same about the Aints

Sounds like I found the 1 person SCARED of ROMO :scared:

If memory serves...parcells has not faired too well against his former "pupils" over the years.
I never blaimed the Redskins loss on Romo...as BO contributed more to that loss than ROmo..as did special teams and a head case kicker. Romo simply has no victories against the only two dvisional opponenets he has faced.
I can see it now...the Saints game comes down to a big kick from Vanderfoot.....I wonder if Parcells would even send that guy out?
Cundiff is kicking for New orleans now on kickoffs. The game will be nationally televised in 2 weeks. I do beleive it will be a good game and close..could come down to a field goal......or in the case of Vanderfoot...a missed one.

Weird, a few hours ago, you were and i quote "only concerned with the team that wins the game. I do not care who puts up the better #'s" Those were YOUR words. Now, all of a sudden, you dont care who wins or loses but who covers. I thought it was just about winning but now its about losing by less than 4 1/2???Weird :notsure:
I guess in the face of Romo, just covering is a victory in itself

I have stated I felt the Saints were a 500 team and Dallas about the same. Both appear on papaer to be evenly matched. A slight edge then goes to the home team...so I have no reason to believe odds are the saints win...odds are against it. I bet with my head not my heart.
It is all about winning. I never stated the Saints would win...simply Romo would have to score a bunch of points.
Let me know if you want to get serious...or if you want to continue on in stats fantasy land.

DOH! mmmmmmmm doughnuts. *gargle*

I am serious, ill give you the money line. That accounts for the home field advantage but you have to win to win the bet, not a weak cover. You dont wanna do that because you know we are the better team and odds are you will lose despite all the posts about how inferior we are at almost every position. Thats good enough for me, its all i wanted to know anyhow

The more and more I think about this, the more I think it is not the type of thing that should be posted on SWF.com. No offense to any of you, but kids do surf on here, and it is probably not the type of thing that SWF.com should be promoting. I am going to as kindly and politely as possible ask you guys to take this to email and/or instant messanger. Again, it is nothing against you, and I do not want to tell any of you what you should and should not do with your time and money, but on behalf of SWF.com, I think it might be best if the betting does not take place here.

I agree. Lets just be friendly and talk football. Seattle posted a 4th quarter win anybody catch it?

 

[lion_crazz]

Yeah, that turned out to be a very good game. It's just a shame that Favre blew it with the INT's.

Totally I have always been a Farve fan and wanted it to end good for him but with this loss his season is pretty much over and he is now playing out of pride.
I like Farve because he always seemed to play through the nagging injuries. I mean there isnt much you can do about major injuries but if he could play he was in there.... I remember when he played with a broken finger. You have to admire a man with that kind of drive. Playing with his heart. I happy he will leave the league with a superbowl ring. Others werent that fortunate. IE Dan Marino.

 

[oceanists]

Goodnight all

 

[lion_crazz]

Yeah, I am glad that Favre has a ring as well (unlike Marino), but I was hoping he could end this season on a high note.
Goodnight, Oceanists.

 

[ruaround]

lion... are you saying youre glad that Marino did not get a ring???
so when is the IM session??? that is the football talk IM session!!!

 

[lion_crazz]

No, not at all. I had no personal problems with Dan Marino. It would have been nice if he could have gotten a ring as well.
You have my AIM address (CrazzE8z). IM me anytime!!!

 

[scubadoo]

Not a problem Lion and I understand. To ocenists...my email is superidiot@cox.net. Should I win our friendly little wager, I have no desire to receive a penny......you can log on the the neworleanssaints.com website and make a donation in the amount of the friendly wager to the Katrina Fund which benefits victims of hurricane katrina.
I would encourage and challenge you to select a charity on-line where I could do the same, but I leave that up to you.
Yes, I am serious and I mean what I say. You will have my email...so it is up to you to accpet my challenge....or not as you are free to do as you choose with any $.
Lion...this will go to all that subscirbe to this thread so delete the post as you did the others
Again, I apologize as you are correct...this should not take place on this board.......but I have no way of contacting oceanists. Also, I would like a charity to benefit as opposed to personal gain...but I only speak for myself. Again, I do not want to receive a penny....I perfer other less fortunate folks receive the benefit...especailly at this time of year.
