Fixed...Welcome everyone to FootballForum.com Tell your friends to get in here and let's get some football discussion going! Season starts tomorrow with New England vs. Oakland.

Thanx. Unfortunatly, I had to bet against your Pats this week. Course, week 1 is so tough to call...

Wow...Maybe I am really under estimating Randy Moss and the Raiders, but I think New England won't have a problem taking care of Oakland.

[Buck It]

Maybe so. Maybe you're overestimating your secondary. I think they're a bit suspect this year, 'specially w/o Romeo. Add the fact that they've been weakend at Linebacker, and the Raider offense looks even better. There run game is for real, and if Collins is on (big if) he can shred most pass D's. I'm not expecting OAK to put up a big defensive fight, although Sapp VS Dillion will be fun to watch. My guess--Oakland wins 28-21.

There are alot of question marks this season, but I beleive in Bellicheck. That guy has done an amazing job with the talent he has had...The reason he was horrible in Cleveland is because it was Cleveland.

The Pats got a whole lot younger on defense, but the Patriots management is usually good at spotting talent and filling needs. There are still some veterans on that defense including Rodney Harrison, Willie McGinnest, and we have Rosevelt Colvin finally healthy - he hasn't really played since we got him from Chicago.

We still have the same offense, lead by Brady and Corey Dillion. Hopefully they can eat up some clock and keep the defense sitting on the bench...

Man, now you have me all excited to watch this game, I want to see Moss try to go over the middle with Rodney (head first) Harrision out there...That guy plays intense.

It'll be a good game, no doubt. Good luck. I put my money on OAK, so I gotta root against you this week, but best of luck to ya.
