    hi old buddy. where ya been? I haven't seen much of you on here since before the draft. what did you think about it?

    to everyone else, do you guys think we added wins to the team or not. 8-8. I'm feeling 2-3 more wins have been added, but I'm still hyped by draft time. camp will determine a lot more. :smiley1::cool:

    Hey mac, yeah been a bit busy for the last month or so.. I have some hopes and some concerns with these guys.

    Love the Tuitt pick in the 2nd.. Excited about Shazier's athleticism and production.. Archer can flat fly and he's "slippery".. Bryant ehh, he has the tools but has consistently underachieved, hopefully we can coach him up.. Wesley Johnson will be very similar to Beachum, IMO great pick.. I also like Howard Jones and Josh Mauro.

    Better then 8-8 , Mac. A horrific start is the only reason they were 8-8 last year, even with a shoddy defense they still finished strong thanks to the offense generating 28 points a game down the stretch. The way I look at it, the defense will be improved and the offense should continue rolling along which equals 10 or more wins :yeehaw:

    first off
    mac daddyo how come your SN isn't in green?

    2nd

    how come the three biggest Eric Ebron supporters are replying to this thread?

    3rd

    the real question to ask 58 is

    something or other about ""SUCK and how much bank he made last year on us using it.


    4th
    what is soo special about an 80's icon Howard Jones?

    8.5 ?
    we were there last year (sort of) so it would have been a push then

    this year....

    easy peezy
    cakewalk
    like taking candy from a baby

    we are also
    even with the bengals winning our division at (+200) this year
    double up your money in a new York minute

    My question to numbah is

    who do you like in the World Cup? it will be finished before the NFL reg season starts
    my longshot is Mexico
    but Deutschland and The Netherlands

    Meh, Ebron was never coming here so never got my hopes up for it. I'm actually more disappointed we didn't get CJ because he was someone I though we would draft.

    that was meant as our starting point so to speak BF we have had that record for back to back seasons now. we didn't add any wins from the year before. if they get this youth together, I'm feeling 2-3 additional wins this year. I am concerned about us early with our youth. that's why I commented in another thread about not liking so many division foes right out of the gate. the first 6 games could determine a lot.

    dar hon, it's memorial day weekend, do I have to answer all those questions this weekend? I don't wanna.< in my whiniest voice.:smiley1::cool:

    just wondering, I hadn't heard you comment on our picks much so far. yea we have those busy times. I was watching the video on steelers.com about McCullers. he's a big, big dude. I want a picture of him standing next to dri. I read they have him on a diet which I think will help him a lot. still they said he carries 18% body fat for a guy 352 lbs. before the diet. wait til he can get off the ball quicker? LOL yikes.:lolol::cool:

    I say at least 2 more wins, or being more optimistic 3 more wins with the offense leading the way.

    "Pick a better long shot. The likelyhood of the Mexican team winning is as likely as this working for mexicans. It won't. I do like Germany. If you look at the groups and brackets it is set up for a brasil Argentina final. That would be ideal for everyone involved. Unless you're going with the very, it won't happen, I have no arguement for why, long shot.
    Germany's midfield is crazy good. Finals will have either Brasil or Argentina. I know it's not a stretch to say but it lays very easy for them both. "

    Via numbah58. I'll assume the role as his world cup correspondent.

    Uruguay would be a decent call.

    (But the only predictions I seem to be good at is the Eurovision Song Contest.)

    25-1? That's a steal, if Suarez is healthy.

    The bonus of world cup betting is that the odds are always based on the world rankings in 1974...

    Bonus marks for the Eurovision pun.

    :smiley1:

    Uruguay played great to get in

    like city said it will be tough that it won't be Brazil and Argentina
    I'm thinking Brazil might show experience issues in the big show
    although I lost a lot when they beat the hell out of Spain last summer
    aargh

    I thought I heard during the champions league Atletico was a 6000-1 shot
    could be mistaken maybe they meant (+6000)
    that was an exciting match
    some good players there.

    Suarez may not be playing in the cup... Or at least group stage.
