Here in DC
We only get two afternoon games. Washington and Denver on CBS, and Dallas-Green Bay late. I’ll mainly be doing graduate work until our game starts at 4pm.
I've got Saints/Rams or Bengals/Steelers
Go Rams!
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...

I've got Panthers/Falcons
8 point game right now. An ATL loss would make the playoff race very very interesting. Our game today has a lot of playoff implications really, especially with the Eagles/Chargers game. We could come out of this game with a 2 game Beast lead, or we could come out tied with Philly and right in the thick of what seems like a 9 team wildcard hunt.

I could do the vikings/lions.
weird day in the nfl. vikings only up 2 on the lions. panthers up big on the falcons.
It is early…
cant believe the bengals let rothlisberger have it easy
1 and ten almost intercepted in the end zone
2 and ten interception dropped
3 and ten DB could not sack him, he dances to the left and completes for 15 yards.
by the time I finish typing he’ll probably score TD
The saints look soft on their line, could that DE ellis and sharper be hindering their run stopping?
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Steven Jackson is dragging their guys all over.
He’s a beast.
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...

The saints..
Allow a lot of points and especially a lot of yards on the ground (or at least it appears).
I actually like Dallas’ chance against NO if we are still playing at a high level..

Strong running game and maintaining possession looks like the way to beat them.

Beating the Saints
Would be nice. We beat them like a drum the first two decades of their existence (11-1), but we haven’t beaten them since Bill Clinton’s first term (1994). We haven’t matched up well against them at all the last several games.
Yeah but our last beatdown had to do with Peyton knowing his mentor's weakness. Sean pulled this team's pants
down by showing that we had no way to cover anyone out of the flat.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
few long drives ending with a TD's thats how can beat them
limit the time Brees has on offence and score some points. Carolina almost did it last week, before collapsing in the fourth qtr
the steelers defense.....
both teams are playing really well defensively.
TImely pick for the bengals, hopefully they can turn it into a TD and turn the momentum against the stillers.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
They keep leaving points on the the field.
Not just redzone stops but the field goal off the post and the botched extra point. They are up 3 right now and should be up 7.

This Gibson kid that the Eagles traded to the Rams looks pretty good.
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...
Meh
homefield won’t be a HUGE deal if it’s two dome teams that have it.

Historically Dallas can't win in Lambeau :)
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
Of Course That Was
More due to when the franchises have played each other. As luck had it, Dallas always went into Lambeau when the Packers had a good (or in some years, great) team.
On the other hand, we’ve been playing in domes for nearly four decades, and have laid some of our biggest eggs there—Detroit comes immediately to mind.
Yeah I think this year's team breaks
the mold of how the franchise has been historically, though. Things just feel different to me…they seem mentally stronger
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
Well yeah,
but when it’s not a Green Bay or a Philly, then I’m not as worried about it. We could do a lot worse that NO and Minn.

"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."

NYG and Philly are the only two teams left that I would be concerned about cold
weather in the playoffs about. I don’t think any others (that play outdoors in the cold) are threats to take us to their fields.
I was just naming a couple northern teams
to point out we could have it worse than the two teams in first, weather wise.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."

hey I'd love to..
the Bears suck lol

That's why God invented flat screens
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
yep, or Japan, anyway.
we’d probably have like 50 yards passing in the Windy City, and about 150 rushing yards for a 10-3 bruiser of a game.
Yeah, similar to our game in Pittsburgh last year
without the 4th quarter collapse of course. Did you see the story of how they play that one song (can’t think of the name) over the PA system that pumps up the players and fans, and SUPPOSEDLY, they played it right before the Steelers made their 4th quarter comeback against us last year. Kind of interesting, I guess.

With Troy "headandshoulders" in the game their defense will look like they did in the 1st four games.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Yeah, that is what I meant, but forgot to type the part about him reinjuring the same knee.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Lions have played well
they’ve done a good job containing peterson. THe one play he broke loose, Philip Buchanon did an incredible job running him down and poking the ball away.
Honestly, they’re one missed offensive PI call on sydney rice from being tied.
every game is close right now
thats a rarity this year.
I'd really like to see
them keep losing. I don’t want that team to have any momentum next week
It figures doesn't it..
they suck all year and they’re going to get things going for when they play Dallas.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
of course they will
it’s “Dallas week” for them. ugh. Step on them early and they go back to bickering.
Yeah they still have O-line issues that won't be going away.
I really think this Broncos team is overrated and just waiting to collapse. That game was so frustrating for us. We should have blown them out. We couldn’t get the running game going, thanks to injuries, and not to mention Miles Austin was still a back up.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
yep...
I’d be kinda surprised if we swept them.
do we ever sweep those guys?
They will bring a physical game to us like always, we won’t rip through their defense and I think they can absolutely win 1 of them.
I'd be surprised if we lost again this year
lol
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."

according to Fox's pre-game show
the GB players had one of those dreaded players-only meetings. I’m expecting that we’ll see them really fired up at the start of the game. We’re going to have to really play mistake-free ball and take them back out of it early, or it could get ugly. I’m thinking this will be one we might have to win at the last minute.
Give a hat tip to Texstar, she did a fanpost about it about 2-3 days ago.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
I don't know..
They can come out fired up all they want, but the line can’t block off of adrenaline. I’d say we’ll be good if we stop their first drive, but we proved in the ATL game that we can still shut a team down even after a good first drive. Team only meetings are a last ditch desparation effort to turn things around.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
I agree the peckers will come out all pumped up make a few plays, as long as dallas makes it tackes, get 1st downs
and do not turn the ball over; reality will set in for the peckers in the 2nd half and dallas will be playing with a lead.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Be nice if we win the coin flip
and drive down for an early lead. Could get things unrailed quickly.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
Only one game is a two score lead..
and that’s an 11 point lead over the RAMS.. not a bad Sunday afternoon.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
I hope we change that, I want a nice boring game where we lead by at least 3 scores throughout
but then I’d like to win the lottery, too.
I agree...
I’d love to feel comfortable enough to switch over and catch some Eagles/Chargers action. HUGE game.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
Hopefully Rodgers will hold the ball forever
and the D line can get pressure and sacks
How bout dem Frogs!!!!
If Dallas comes out playing 10 yards off the receiver..
I will quickly need a replacement tv.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
ehhhh I take that back
you know they will lol
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
the vikings entire offense has been sydney rice
stop the run game, put jenkins or newman on rice and i think we can definitely contain them.
I'll take the latter for 500 please
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
both
I really don’t think the redskins were bad defensively…offensively was another story and they did a good job today.
Denver has been exposed lol.
The Redskins are still the Redskins
Just the like the Raiders are still the Raiders. Here’s to hoping one win doesn’t jump start their season. BTW.. I haven’t been watching.. what happened to Orton?
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
chris johnson
is a quiet but legitimate threat to get to 2000 yards.
Whats going on with Benson?
Just checked the box score and he only has 7 runs.
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
hurt

Not sure, check ESPN
just saw the headline that he was out
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."

Cant
They’re showing local news

i meant ESPN.com lol

Makes more sense

ridiculous
i have portis in every ffl league, he gets hurt and bets has a game twice as good as any portis has had all year.
If we played Denver again
i think we beat them by 3 touchdowns.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
That denver team
also shut down new england.
They wre flat out playing better back then.
Also, Romo was a little off and the turnovers killed us.
honestly
I think our run game is overrated. WE’ve been living off those first 3 games. Since then we’ve been average.
We have had injuries though too..
Barber and Felix haven’t looked the same since they got hurt.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
plus our backfield was hurt wasn't it?
Miles Austin also a non-factor.. Not to mention we were one missed interception by Spencer from going up 17-0 so… A lot went into it.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
it wouldn't have mattered
they were killing our ol. Choice is probably our best pure rb in terms of finding holes and getting through them and he couldn’t find anything
bad game all around really
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
Dammnnn you Chrissy Sims, you pasty POS, you have given those d-bag skins renewed life.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
So are Orton and Turner hurt aswell?
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
I believe so..
ATL had two active RB’s for the game too. Kind of funny.. I guess we are seeing why the games have been so close
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
Vikings blowing away the Lions
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
he had his first good game of the year today
but my friend thats a bills fan texted me saying hes unraveling, so im looking forward to the highlights.
Redskins ice it.
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."

Saints can't ice it

wow it's about to get interesting...
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."

and we still have Dallas.. Eagles/Chargers.. Pats/Colts..
let the good times roll
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."
-Ari Gold
I know..
Dallas was written off after an OT win over the Chiefs.. win or lose, I guess we have to write off the Saints lol
"I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess."
"You will come back stronger then ever. Like Lance Armstrong. But with two balls."

Bucs probably just lost
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
tampa drive stalls in miami territory
still down 6, games probably over but Dolphins will need a first to ice it.
longball after longbal after longball
Detroit set out to stop the run and succeeded but they couldn’t cover rice 1 on 1 downfield.
Didnt really succeed in stopping the run
Backside contain gave Peterson a few long runs.

great defense by the bengals secondary though
haha good thing RWI is out.
Miami picked off
Bucs 6 down at the 30
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
wow
TB intercepted a ball deep in miami territory down 6. HUGE mistake.
my friend is a bengals fan..
let the annoying texts begin

ruling on the field stands. 1st and 10 STL... yikes !

Damn
Really needed one more catch from Megatron
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
and i started their fantasy D!
but i started dallas over them in another league so we better tear it up.
Bet they win
That 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty will cost them
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!

wow Bengals
good defensive game to watch. (but what a fantasy wasteland unless you had one of the Ks lol)
Alright Fellas.....
It’s just about that time.. Lockin it up and gettin ready.. Let’s do this right Dallas

Still think Miami will win

Saints are definately beatable.
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
by aussie_cowboy on Nov 15, 2009 3:09 PM CST up reply actions
the teams they played couldn't hold a lead
combine our pass rush/secondary and Mariano Barbarian the closer…
C'mon Megatron
1 more catch
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
Told you Miami would win
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
