Ugh...once again...
Bad choices of games. Rams/Gints or Vikings/Indy.
Hopefully I can see AP run all over the place.

Inspired by
the site withleather here is my response to your viewing choices: Giants vs. Rams and vikes vs. indy; well…c’mon meteor!!
i'm not
peyton is not that good anymore….he was a product of great offensive weapons.

His O-line was full of rookies, playing against one of the best D-lines in the game
And he still pulled it out. Don’t you feel like a jackass?
Let's keep the name calling to a minimum.

No.
His team pulled it off…he tried to give it away. He’s not that good. Now, hush.

yes
he’s not good.

He's not good anymore?
The guy didnt take a single preseason snap, is recovering from knee surgery and basically had a rookie offensive line against a dominant D-Line.
I think you’ll be eating those words by the end of the season.
Guys
Packers with Rodgers >>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>> >>>> >>>>> Pack with Favrey.
We better watch out. This team is really good.

Romo v. Rodgers will be a good matchup
both favre the next generation in their own ways, and a rematch of rodgers debut last year
WR Roy Williams WHY ?
he can’t get seperation – can’t catch the ball – he got 4 catches this year WOW
I wouldn’t give them Stanback for him – thats saying a lot for me
Wow
that Colts TD was something. Gonzales catches it long then pitches it to Wayne who takes it in.
Actually maybe short a TD, being challenged…
(So in fantasy terms, does Gonzales get the yards to the pitch, and Wayne gets the last few yards and the TD? If the TD counts…)
whew...i needed that...

The Chiefs
Now have their WR playing quarterback…..so much Dwayne Bowe having a monster game for me.
And Torry Holt just had an AMAZING catch for a TD.
The refereeing in this league is attrociously inconsistent..
The Rams just got screwed big time by a non-call on offensive pass-interference. Hixon BLATANTLY pushed off the defender, but noooo….no call.
I think Mike Pereira needs to sit and take a good long look at how they handle officiating in this league.
word........

packers...maybe getting alittle to cocky?

This next week is going to turn into an Aaron Rodgers slobfest.
I wish they still had Favre. Now they are really dangerous.
Wow, that Lions D is horrible
24 points in the 4th quarter? 82 points given up through 2 games… 34 of those to Atlanta!
did you see even see the game?
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
"Maybe congress should take more vacations, whenever these people leave town, things just seem to get better..." - Jay Leno
Nope, wasn't on TV, but you can tell from the stats
Lions Defense gave up 474 yards last week to the Falcons and 447 yards this week to the Packers. I’m pretty sure that means they’re bad.
My point still stands
Giving up 460 yards/game means your defense is not good. Thanks for pointing out the reasons for 14 of the 24 points given up in the 3rd.
no, it doesn't
24 points in the 4th quarter
2 off of int returns, the 3rd TD was off a turnover as well. 3 pts from GB driving down in that quarter…

"Maybe congress should take more vacations, whenever these people leave town, things just seem to get better..." - Jay Leno
My point was the Lions defense sucks
I don’t know how you could possibly defend them. So my point does still stand.
no it wasn't
you brought up the fact they scored 24 pts against the Lions D…just correcting you there.
"Popularity is fleeting. Principles are forever."
"Maybe congress should take more vacations, whenever these people leave town, things just seem to get better..." - Jay Leno
Ahhh, thanks I guess
Billito had already corrected me though. I’ve changed from talking about points scored to yards given up which is a better and more accurate display of a defenses ability to stop the opposing offense. From that, I’ve conclude that the Lions defense… sucks.
Can't argue that
did you see the highlights when Lions fans were giving their team the finger and throwing jerseys onto the field after the game? Gosh, I’m no billionaire owner but maybe Millen needs to be shown the door.
LOL
I can’t understand how Millen is still employed there. The owner but be more senile than Al Davis.
Lions suck, there’s no way Roy W. wouldn’t come to Dallas next year. I don’t think the Lions can franchise him, he’s not even their top WR.

well the lions are one of the smartest teams....
last year their offence was good and their defence was weak so they fire their offencive corrd. dumb, dumb, dumb…….
I don't need a compass to know which way the wind shines....
Ha ha ha..
Yeh, Matt Millen is a freaking GENIUS.

Think about that
He is a multi millionaire due to managing a team into the ground for several years straight. You or I could not have done any worse – and he is STILL EMPLOYED! Remind me to never buy a Ford.
You know he has some serious dirt on the Ford family.
31 teams may dream of the Superbowl but only one team, the Dallas Cowboys, expect it.

Philosopher is loving Ed Hochuli right now
He has both Cutler and Royal against me (and I have SD defense), and that bad call on the Cutler fumble followed by the TD and 2-pt conversion both to Royal was worth a net of like 18.5 points between us. ugh.
Bad, bad call
Yeah, that does suck for you man. I hate the NFL refs, I complain about them all the time, It is STUPID that a wrong call cannot be overturned just because a ref blew the whistle. That needs to be changed.
The officiating has been exceptionally bad this year and we are only in Week Two.
I started Royal over Santant Moss and Moss had a HUGE game. Without those points, I would be hurting bad right now.
the worst refing i've ever seen......
it’s almost like they were cheating….the ref’s cost sd a game….the league should start handing out fines and suspentions for this crap…..
I don't need a compass to know which way the wind shines....
Was that not horrible?
How many years since the “Tuck” game, and the league still hasn’t fixed that problem? SD got screwed.

The stillers look very avg
the browns and the stillers have played to a standstill. I thought that the stillers would have rolled over the browns. I know the weather is less than ideal but come on; no offense from a team that pasted the Texans. This leads me to believe the stillers are not that good and the texans could be worse than everyone thought.
8 punts so far. yawn
it’s hard to tell how much the wind has to do with it, but it could be a significant factor, so hard to judge the Steelers too much on this, but it is an uninspiring performance for both teams offensively.
This game so far
shows that dallas was up against a decent defense, because the stillers would not be this flaccid against a team that is a higher caliber than the rams.
My Sunday Realization
After Brady going down and Indy finally showing signs of weakness in their offense, We unquestionably have the best Offense in the NFL in terms of talent and potential. Thats one hell of a roster Jerry Jones put together this year and its better than anyone else’s by miles right now. The part is not the performing part. I hope every one is ready to perform. The Packers are the closest thing to a complete team next to us in the NFC, but we are better in every way. The Giants got lucky last year. Its almost impossible to beat the same NFL team three times in a row in a season if they are half decent. That shouldnt be a problem this year. Arizona has a nice offense. Their defense though doesnt measure up. Well as for the Eagles, We will see tomorrow night…

Which coach gets fired first?
Linehan – Rams
or
Crennel – Browns
(I would’ve thrown the guy from the Raiders in the mix, but they actually won today.)
I would pick the guy from the feckless Rams, if I were to actually wager on it.

I say Linehan
but they are both up against it, they are dealing with some key injuries..
