Who will win the NFL opener between the Colts and the Saints?

And why?

Who will win the NFL opener between the Colts and the Saints?nba salaries

Colts, The saints were a one year feel good story.

Who will win the NFL opener between the Colts and the Saints?nba playoff ,nba teams

Saints 27 to 24, Because the Saints have a Younger and Stronger then the Colts.
The Colts in a close one. They have a slightly better defense, a jaugernaut offense, and they are at home. I'm thinking a score of 45 - 38.
Colts. 1) They're SB champs. 2) They have better players at almost every position and 3) the Saints are in for a large dose of reality this year, feel good story is over, and everyone wants to knock them off their NFC pedestal.
Colts 27-24
saints 31-28 colts

will be close and the saints d has experience to get big stops.
saints because the colts d will not be able to stop the saints and the saints d will do just enough for them to win the game
I don't know why, but I'm thinking Saints in an upset.

The Offense can keep up with the colts, and if the front seven can get a rush against Peyton Manning, I think they can mask the secondaries deficiencies.

This will be a shootout.....
The Saints. They have more weapons on offense. They can create mismatches w/ their RB tandem %26amp; they have just as solid of a WR core. The game will depend on the QB's decision making. %26amp; also neither team really has CB but the saints have a little more EXP. so they will be able to get the few stops they will need.
Colts easily. Saints were pretty much a flash in the pan last year. Back to the ole 7-9, 8-8 seasons for them. Saint are to overrated in the NFL as Michigan was in the NCAA.
Colts win by 14 because they are a better team with a top notch offense, Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison(2 Hall of Famers), and the greatest Coach in the midwest.
The Saints will win or lose depending on how Reggie Bush does. The Colts have a horrible defense, especially a rush defense. If Reggie Bush can exploit it, The Saints will win, especially since they also have a good passing game to complement it. I'm picking the Saints.
colts, they have a better offense and more experience in big games.
I think Reggie and Duece will destroy the the average run D of Indy. They will be able to control the clock and Payton can't kill you if he is not on the feild as much. Saints in a close one.
Colts will win, they have the better offense of the two teams. Also the saints do not have the cornerback tandem to even stop wayne and harrison. The colts always find a way to win and their defense will stop the saints at least once.

Whos the best USC football player in the NFL TODAY?

Its gotta be Carson Palmer.

What do you think?

Whos the best USC football player in the NFL TODAY?lebron james

Well yes it is Palmer. He is by far in the most explosive offense and could easily throw the ball 70 yards. His arm strength and accuracy are what make him great.

On the other side of the ball...I would go with Polamalu. He is by far one of the most feared safties in the league. Every time you hear somebody in thecollegeranks compared to somebody in Pro its always Polamalu.

I would have chose Troy, but because Palmer is on the offense side of the ball, he does get more touches and it does mean he is the better player. However I do believe that in a couple years, Bush will be competing for that spot from Palmer.

Good luck!!

Whos the best USC football player in the NFL TODAY?nba live 2008 ,nba teams

Troy Polamanu

Fight On!!

Troy took the steelers to the super bowl
Palmer is about as solid as it gets, even with that knee injury. I'm hoping Matt will pick up his game and get those Cards going this year. Being a steelers fan, i'd like to see our old coaches get some wins behind Lienart.
OJ
reggie bush
I agree. I think Palmer is probably the best right now from USC. Reggie has gotten to a slow start, but I think when he gets more comfortable in the pro's and gets to be more consistent, he will be up there with Palmer!
Don't forget Lofa Tutupu from Seattle.
Its gotta be Brian Leonard.

How important is the NFL columbine?

Should you rate a player on how far he throws, how how fast he runs or rate him by his game film? but it obviously affects the player on what round he might get drafted, thats for sure.

How important is the NFL columbine?nba playoffs 2007

It is soooo over-hyped. Just because someone puts up good numbers at the combine, it does not necessarily mean they will be a star in the NFL like in college.

How important is the NFL columbine?nba league pass ,nba teams

Well it's combine XD Columbine was a tragic school shooting. I'd say it's fairly important, but not all that matters. I mean, Brady looked terrible at his combine and look where he is now.
the combine is a good tool to use for breaking ties you have for certon players. If you have players A and B at the same position tied as far as how much u like him u can break that tie bye things like speed and power and wonderlick tests depending on what position hes playing.
It's kind of important. Teams in the NFL draft based on accuracy and arm strength. Sometimes, the combine isn't accurate. Look at Tom Brady, he was drafted in the 6th round and he goes on to lead the Patriots to 3 super bowl wins.
its pretty important, it is used in combination with game film because if the player has the physical tools to succeed then they might be worth more than someone who dose not have the tools to succeed on the next level but did good in collage
i think it is like half and half you got to at least know what potential you can have. that allows teams to see if a guy is worth trading up for.just look at trent edwards last year. you know you can call me bad but id do just enough to get in so i wouldnt go to a sorry or rebuilding teamid take my chances with a winner.and then after winning for a few years id go for the money.
Columbine? That was the school where those 2 gothic meatheads shot and killed a bunch of kids.

Do you mean the Combines?
i would say it is over-hyped, but in the NFL u need skill and athleticism, Cromartie of the chargers would have been drafted much lower, although i was one of the few after seeing him in the combine that was DAMN!!! i want that guy, and look how it's turned out, but never put too much on the combine, the guy has to have intangibles ( Ryan leaf is an EX who didn't)
Is the columbine where angrycollegeathletes get together to shoot at the coaches?

Or did you mean COMBINE?

It's a little different....just thought you should know.

It is useful, for measuring physical ability..... but it is way overrated, since it can't measure drive, motor, instincts, etc.

Plus, most of the top prospects don't even work out anymore. They are too scared it might hurt their draft status. Same reason most opt out of the Sr. Bowl.

Personally, I feel both should be mandatory. But I think they shouldn't be as important as game film.
Dick cheney threw it the farthest but he went undrafted and went on to a great career
The combine gives coaches and scouts a general idea of a players abilities. Teams go over everything before a player is drafted, game film, how they performed at the combine, personal workouts, attitude, work ethic, everything.
i believe its combine
really important because not all the scouts go to each players indivitual game this it the time where all the scouts can see ur talant

In the NFL what game was the last game to end up as a tie?

it seems like there hasn't been a tie game in a very long time.

In the NFL what game was the last game to end up as a tie?sporting goods

The most recent tie in the NFL occurred in Week 10 of the 2002 NFL Season, when the Falcons and Steelers played to a 34-34 draw in Pittsburgh.

In the NFL what game was the last game to end up as a tie?nba hall of fame ,nba teams

Remember it well - both kickers had FGs blocked in OT and Plaxico Burress caught a long pass on the last play and ended up about an inch from the end zone
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!??? GET OUT OF YAHOO ANSWERS!!! YOU ARE RETARDED!!!! I'm talking to the people who said there couldn't be a tie. I think there was one a few years back. Maybe Atlanta VS Pittsburgh in 2002. Ok just checked it it was PIT and ATL in 02.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL...
i believe the falcons and saints tied circa six years ago
i cant remember the last time there was a tie, and boltage there IS such thing as a tie as long as no one can score in the 15 minute overtime, just not in the playoffs.
A Steeler game.

Never mind it was against the Falcons.

It wasn't long ago either like in 2002.

11/10/02
Prior to 1974, the National Football League's rules provided for "sudden death" overtime only in playoff games. As a result, tied games were a common occurrence in regular season, which happened if neither team had more points after regulation time and an overtime period.

In 1974, the NFL instituted one fifteen-minute overtime period for all games tied at the conclusion of fourth quarter of regulation play. Any score in that overtime period resulted in "sudden death," and the game would be immediately ended with the scoring team winning the game. Now, a tied game resulted only when neither team scored in overtime.

Since that major rule change, ties in the NFL are very rare. As of 2007, there have only been 16 tied NFL regular season games since 1974. The most recent tied game in the NFL occurred in a 2002 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons at Heinz Field, in which many team records for both teams were broken in a 34-34 tie.
Let me correct my earlier response.The last time that happened was when the Steelers tied the Falsons in 2002. They tied, 34-34. That was over 4 years ago.
Atl v. Pit 11-10-02
there hasn't

Why does the NFL, penalize players for being unique?

why does the NFL, penalize players for being unique? every player has to wear the same socks and shoes why is that? does the NFL not believe in Indivualizm?

Why does the NFL, penalize players for being unique?nba finals 2007

Because shirts vs skins doesn't cut it at this level.

Why does the NFL, penalize players for being unique?www.nba.com ,nba teams

its called a uniform. It makes them look sharp and helps differentiate between teams. Even when your rushing you may only get a glance at the persons sock in front of oyu so you need to know whether hes blocking for you or is about to lay you out.
also, nobody can complain that so and so has an advantage because they have better equipment.
It's so that have control over their uniforms. but they do allow players to be unique after that. TO wears big gold earrings during the game.
The NFL thrives on tradition. As the most popular sport in America, they carefully manage their image. Having players do what they want is no different in the NFL than it is in most companies. If you want to work here, you have to conform to our desired image.
Actually they can wear what they want as far as cleats or other stuff before the first game of the season. Which mean once you have a uniform you are not allowed to change it. Unless the team changes it. Think about how tack it would be if a member of the Steelers was wearing orange and black cleats. On the other hand, was a member of the Redskins was wearing a blue shirt. It keeps everyone in a standard color and makes it easier for refs a fans to tell who is who. These guys are getting paid Millions of dollars to play you have a dress code at work why not them.
it's called a uniform. that means everything needs to be the same for everyone on the team. obviously they believe in individualism if they let those retards do a dance after every single play.
probably a uniform code

they get paid well enough to wear what they want off the field
No Fun League. Then again they are wearing uniforms and they do have to be uniform. You don't see policemen or firemen or even the UPS guy jazzing up theri unis. Plus it is a team sport.

I mean, you want "individualism" in psorts fashion, follow individual sports.
Simply, it is a team sport. If clothing wasn't regulated those guys would look like a bunch of hoodlums.

Patriot undefeated? the patriot are by far best team in the Nfl still undefeated and the only team t

chance against them is the steelers so what you think are the Patriot going to Stay undefeated or are they going to fall ?

Patriot undefeated? the patriot are by far best team in the Nfl still undefeated and the only team that has?nba store

The Pats have a terrific team, no doubt about it. And....."on paper," I agree that the Steelers might be their only obstacle in going undefeated.

However, it's only been done once, and there's good reason. that is, regardless of how poorly an opponent might appear statisically......any NFL team can beat ANY other NFL team on a given day. Consider Indy's near-perfect season in the very recent past. It takes a great team PLUS the breaks.

Example: the "lowly" Eagles almost brought them down - that game could have easily gone either way.

NOTE: To the "USC guy:" I'll take USC over the Pats if you'll give a 100-point spread.

Patriot undefeated? the patriot are by far best team in the Nfl still undefeated and the only team that has?nba salary ,nba teams

so how fair is that new england weather
USC IS THE WORST TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!! THEY WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!
I still don't respect a coach and organization that looks the other way at cheating even if it was prior season, it makes it hard to believe that they aren't capable of doing it again.
Steelers are going to spoil the perfect season for New England
their the best this year*************************
Patriots, will remain undefeated... did you see the game Monday ...
I take it that you don't bleed BLACK %26amp; GOLD ,They aren't going to be undefeated after the (th of December the Steelers will take care of them!!!
I say the Pats are going to fall to the steelers because the Steelers are playing good so far(except for their last game against the Dolphins but because it was a bad feild to play on).Ben Rothlisburger is a good QB and I dont think the pats Defense can stop the team.
who knows only time will tell...i would guess there isn't much of a chance for the steelers to beat them...but would you really say they were undefeated considering they cheat? i hate both teams though. GO COWBOYS! :]
anyone can beat them now if the eagles can get that close...hopefully they won't cheat again like they did against the jets
The only team that has a chance against them?

Obviously you were asleep Sunday night and havent read the news....

The average Eagles kept with them right till the end on Sunday night, despite being huge underdogs.

In this league, any team can be any other one with good play calling and one or two players stepping up.

Don't crown them quite yet.
CHEATER CHEATER PUMPKIN EATER!

the packers and steelers will beat them

Packers win superbowl

Pats lose 5 games next season

GO PACKERS!

LETS GET A WIN AGIANST THE COWGIRLS!
they will fall and probably lose in the first game of the playoffs
it will be a good game!!!
Guess wat No one cares ALL ABOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!
moss sucks ...patriots cheat and will not go undefeated.....they will lose one regular season game and not make it to super bowl......noone is going undefeated!
i think they have a chance. this team is good. brady and moss have some real chemistry. and i thing they have proven that they can win without cheating.
you mean the CHEATRIOTS?
will you pat fans please be humble. If you do go undefeated big deal its been done. Another team will come along and do it again. So freakin what! The pats will fall back into obscurity again in a few years and no one will care about them...Again
Yes, the Patriots are the on top of the NFL.....And as a fan, I would love to see them go undefeated......

BUT...As memory serves me a wild card Steeler team won the Super Bowl, not so long ago...

So don't get so anxious......Be a fan, but try and not let their success so far cloud the long road ahead of them....The Eagles showed exactly what can happen if you don't keep your eye on the prize.......
Patriots will crush the steelers into the ground! HARD

NEW ENGLAND ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon you shall all bow before the Emperor!
