    How do you like our chances, given our remaining schedule features 3 of the above teams, Jax, and Ten? While our New Years Day matchup become the battle of tanks?

    It's hard to believe that the Packers have scored more points than they have given up and they have a 2-9 record.

    Green Bay has got a tough schedule from here on out, but then again, they've lost 5 games that have been within 3 points or less. I really hope they surprise some people and win a couple of games, but at this point, I'd consider them a real threat to our #1 hopes.

    It would be just like the Texans to start giving a crap from here on. I've been saying for weeks.

    I predicted that we were going to beat the Rams 27-24 and we almost did, but you know almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

    or something like that.......

    Boldin and Fitzgerald are going to rack up 400 receiving yards against us.
    Jamal Lewis is coming off a 100+ yard game.
    Green Bay may win a game or two (at least vs. Detroit)
    The Jets are bad but they play NE twice, Miami, and Oakland...they should win at least 1 of those
    San Fran, however...sucks.

    Let the race begin, I think the only win we might be able to get is San Francisco.

    Here's my projection of what those teams would draft w/ the #1:

    Houston: Trade down, too many holes.

    Green Bay: Bush. Bush would be a good replacement for Green, could also help out the w/ the lack of receivers. Leinart would be the perfect replacement for when Favre is done, but they did get Rogers last season.

    NY Jets: Leinart. Pennington is as injury prone as they come, he is good when healthy though, but that's rare.

    San Fran: Bush. No brainer w/ Smith being the QB. Cali kid who went to h.s. w/ Smith IIRC.

    Baltimore: Leinart. The Ravens haven't had a good QB in years, heres their chance.

    Arizona: Leinart. Warner has maybe another year in him. Putting Leinart w/ Fitzgerald and Boldin make a pretty lethal passing attack.

    Is this NFL draft going to be similar to the year when shaq came out and all the teams were really sweating it win that lottery pick and get that #1? You guys remember that?

    I think all of these NFL teams plan on tanking it and I really hope the Texans do as well.

    Marcus McNeill, Auburn
    Joe Thomas, Wisconsin, Jr.
    Winston Justice, USC, Jr.
    Daryn Colledge, Boise St.
    Andrew Whitworth, LSU
    Jeremy Trueblood, Boston College

    i would like to see the texans pick up jackson in the second round... the wide receiver from florida... he is a senior right?

    just a question... where is johnson from georgia tech suppose to fall in the draft? he is one of my favorite WRs in college football to watch.

    Trying to put the talkc back on the topic, I think the Jets are the biggest threat. 49ers have been looking pretty scrappy the last few weeks, Favre would zip a fastball into the nuts of anyone on his team tanking, and the Jets are miserable with a fairly tough schedule. Oakland's the only game where they have a decent shot, IMO; their division games are longshots.

    I could easily see us notch a couple of wins these last few weeks.

    Do you guys think the NFL should adopt a lottery system similar to the NBA?
