BBD's 10 NFL Truths (long write up)

[Draft King]

Looking back, amazing job by BBD, great predictions.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

There is really only one explanation: BBD used the magic of the Devil and built a time machine to go forward to next week and make 10 observations about the NFL. Then he went back to the present(when he posted this) and falsely called them predictions.


The jig is up.

Guilty as charged

vernon davis would have proved you wrong if he was healthy the whole time

[njx9]

since this one's bumped... i'd like to advocate a joint thread between a few of you guys.

you, shiver, DMW (assuming they don't all turn into NFC east topics) and maybe a few other guys. you all tend to give the best write ups and seem to be right a fair amount of the time. you should consider getting together and putting together something before the playoffs start.

[Ravens1991]

I was about to suggest it would be neat if a bunch of people had a write up contest and predicitons like this for the playoffs.

[njx9]

i don't even know if a contest would be good, as much as a point/counter-point write up from a few different people. like the chats ESPN occasionally does, except with people who don't simply spew talking points.

[Ravens1991]

yea that would be a better idea.

This is TOO truthful.

[Paul]

:shock: :shock: This is why you are BigBlueDefense. And why everyone else pays homage.

What would you propose? An issue that may occur is the thread being too heavily NFC dominant. Especially NFC East in particular with me and DMW knowing more about our division than anything else.

We could potentially be opening up pandora's box with something of that nature, but it could also work. Im curious to hear how we would execute something of that sort.

Yeah, I too am curious. Although truthfully, I keep trying to write my week 16 edition, but I've run acrossed writers block. A change-up would be nice.

I would love for njx to do some write-ups, as a change of pace, opposed to his usual work where he owns random dummies.

DO IT!!! I seriously look forward to your write up every Tuesday. Its such a great writeup every time.

[Shiver]

I am a day late, I'll try to hammer it out tonight, as I am kind of a insomniac so I have nothing better to do..

my first thought would be in a vaguely interview style, at least to start. submit to you guys like 10-15 questions beforehand so that you'd at least have a chance to think of a few things you wanted to point out, but then include some discussion after each, argument or counter-point. this is very off-the-cuff, so bear with me if some of this doesn't sound perfectly thought out.

i guess i'd think to pattern it after NFL Live, except that you people say infinitely more interesting things than the guys on that show, in terms of someone acting as Wingo, and you guys taking over the discussion from some questions. clearly, if there were issues you particularly wanted to address, those could be part of the question process, btu the process would hopefully ensure that the AFC would be represented.

it'd be nice to get something like 5-6 guys, some for the NFC and a couple for the AFC (like i said, since it's off the cuff, i only picked up a couple of names that sprung to mind immediately).

ideally, we could get a separate board created that wouldn't be viewable by anyone (to make the process easier) and then simply move the thread here afterwards for general discussion by everyone. given the number of responses to most of your and shiver's write-ups and the... polarizing nature of some of the things DMW says (no knock here, i appreciate it), i think it would generate some good discussion, especially for those fans whose teams have been eliminated.

thoughts, concerns, etc.?

Im expecting "The NFC is a crapshoot part 100000000000000000000" to be somewhere in there, lol.

I like it, I like it alot. We all get presented the questions before hand and we give our analysis of the topic at hand. That would be great. Id love for you to be one of the AFC guys, you gotta be part of it. I look forward to it.

Let's work out the details. It would be a great segway leading to the playoffs.

heh, i kept meaning to all year, mostly so that people would have a chance to rip apart the things i thought. i dunno, i've been trying to get a book finished, so the writing's been pretty consumed in terms of putting together enough thoughts for a serious discussion, rather than just picking at things other people say.

[bigbluedefense]

I gotta get up early tomorrow, so I may be away from the PC, but I'll still be around. It definately sounds like a good idea.

There has to have been more than just 100000000000000000000

[njx9]

i'll try to work some things out. i'm not sure if any admins are around, since we'd need them to get the board created... i'll pm some folks in the meantime. hopefully by thursday or friday the board can be up and we can get some things started before the weekend and have it up by monday or tuesday.

[Ravens1991]

Even though I dont really have any write up expierence if you need somebody from the AFC just shoot me a PM.

[yourfavestoner]

This actually sounds like a brilliant idea.

And Shiv, get that writeup done. I look forward to it every week.

[Xonraider]

I'm going to do one of these next year too.. :D

Terrific job though.

Way off on this one.
