Don't worry. You aren't alone. It's just.. Broncos have a bye week to rest their butts after getting pwned.

Does anyone else think that maybe Derek Anderson was a one-year wonder? I expect Brady Quinn before the end of the season.

I'm very glad my Bears are off today...we were down to our 6th and 7th string DBs thanks to injuries. On the up side, mike Brown isn't hurt yet... :-?

Derek plays good when he has confidence in himself and the rest of the team. But his confidence waivers when Braylon drops so many freaking passes!

Did anyone catch Roger Goodell saying "I'd love to have a regular NFL team in London!"?? Hello! Time zone changes! Wouldn't work!

Why the hell can't the Browns play like this consistently?

News Credits: 1452 · Sun Oct 26, 2008 7:59 pm

Wow. Broncos don't need to be good. The Other AFC West teams just need to suck.

This season has been nuts. You just can't predict anything from week to week except that Terrell Owens will be an ass to someone and that the Detroit Lions will lose. I'm holding on to my hope for a perfect season in Detroit...I know they can do it! They can win the Colt McCoy sweepstakes!

Next up for the Lions: my suddenly offensively explosive Bears. Ummm...when was the last time we could use the term "explosive offense" with the Bears, anyway? At least we are getting back our two starting corners from injury and Hester will be healed up as well. Hey Detroit, here comes 0-8! :wink:

It has been a truly unpredictable year in the NFL. I just hope the Colts can win tomorrow. I'm not use to this stuff... you know normally the Colts would be 6-0 going into a game like tomorrow not 3-3. I wanted them to loose early on and gain momentum for the playoffs, but I never imagined they'd have THIS much trouble early on... This is looking more like the 2001 season than the 2006 season, where the colts had defensive troubles but got it fixed just in time for the playoffs. No this year there almost seems to be no hope.

The offense is starting to click but its hard to get momentum when the defense takes like 25 minutes off the clock everytime its out there! The Colts-Packers game was nothing short of a straight embarrassment...the Colts basically just laid down and died for Green Bay. 110 yards in penalties and 2 interceptions for Green Bay Touchdowns! What I don't get is other than Ed Johnson being missing and Bob Sanders being out, this is the EXACT same defense that was ranked #2 in the league last year. Can 2 players really make that much of a difference? Apparently so.

Course it don't help that the offense struggled so much throughout the first 4 games. Manning sat out all pre-season so he came out rusty, and the Offensive line has been built out of nearly all rookies and 2nd stringers. I will say we could of won that Green Bay game had the offense not abandoned the run so fast... Dominique Rhodes was torching the Green Bay defense early on, but after sitting on the bench for 10 minute intervals everytime, Manning came out anxious to score, and ended up going either 3 and out or throwing an interception that was returned for a TD.

I think if the Colts have patience with the Titans they can win. One things for sure: the longer your defense is out there, the worse they are going to play. The key to winning tommorrow is accepting the fact the defense is going to probably give up 50 yards rushing easy every time they are out there, and take 10 minutes off the clock. If we are lucky they'll hold the Titans to field goals. When the Colts offense goes out they HAVE to remember the run. fight poisen with poisen! If the Colts can have patience and take 10 minutes off the clock every time they have the ball, they can win.

But I'm not going to lie. I'm not a 100% confident the Colts are going to win tomorrow. Tennessee is the perfect team to beat the Colts. Good defense and a run-heavy offense. Hope the Colts get rhythm early or it could be a looooong day!

This weekend was great and terrible at the same time. Great because Dallas won, but terrible because New York, Philly, and Wash all won too.

Unless Dallas gets their **** together, they're going to be looking for a wild card berth this year, if at all.

The way things look now, it's going to come down to the last week of the regular season before we know which NFC East and NFC South teams get in to the playoffs or not.

Which is bad news for the West and North, since if you're not leading the division, you're not going to the playoffs.

I really think ATL got screwed by the refs. But also I wonder if they would have won regardless given the whole situaiton in Philly (the World Series being the big kicker, one of it's college teams is moving up the rankings on the BCS, a win in Hockey). Face it, the Falcons weren't just facing the refs and Eagles. This was a bad time for any NFL team to be playing up there. At least they will be able to pick up a win in a game they are supposed to win next week. You just gotta keep in mind you can't win them all.

Welcome to last week!

We've been in third since then.

If we beat the G'nats and the Skin's lose to the Steelers, things may turn around in our favor. If only the Steelers would have won yesterday, things would be great right now.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Oct 27, 2008 3:48 pm

No thanks, Steelers need to keep losing

and now the Jaguars need to pick themselves up and go back to being good.

and the Browns should try to keep doing good

Tue Oct 28, 2008 10:55 pm

Hooray for my Houston Texans! They have won three in a row for the first team in team history! The 35-6 win was also the largest margin of victory in team history! Thank you very much BUNGALS! The Texans may not, finally, be the most inept team in the league!

Bungals, you guys just really suck! I truely don't know who is worse, Detroit or Cincy. If they played each other in a game there would be about 12 turnovers per team and the game would end in a tie. But thanks guys, really, now the Texans are only the third most inept team in the league! They are looking to gain ground on Oakland and Kansas City though...the 49ers aren't far behind either!

News Credits: 2 · Wed Oct 29, 2008 9:51 am

My predictions at the halfway point:

1. Cincy will go 1-15 and not get the number 1 pick.
2. Detroit will have the first truly perfect year ever: 0-16.
3. Wade Phillips will be fired.
4. Pacman Jones will get arrested at least three more times.
5. Brett Favre will lead the league in interceptions.
6. THe Colts will finish at .500.
7. Mike SIngletary will beat up one of his players for being a primadonna.
8. The Bears will win the NFC Central.
9. Terrell Owens will open his mouth one too many times and Jerry Jones will kick his ass.
10. Jessica Simpson will go after Kyle Orton since Tony Romo is hurt.
11. The Super Bowl Halftime Show will suck.
12. The Patriots will make the playoffs.
13. Chad Ocho Cinco will legally change his name to Smith.

Kyle Orton is out. The Bears season is over now. :sad:

Sometimes it's not just winning that counts, but how badly you utterly defeat the opposing team.

News Credits: 2 · Mon Nov 03, 2008 4:43 pm

I gotta do it...for all the people who said they were the best team in the NFL, for all those who annointed them before the season began, for all those media who basically were wondering why we should even BOTHER playing the football season because they were too good...

...how 'bout them Cowboys? :grin:

News Credits: 1 · Mon Nov 03, 2008 5:46 pm

The Cowboys were all hype.

The Titans I think are the shock of the year.

Brady Quinn is starting in the Browns/Broncos game on Thursday. I really have no idea how thats going to go

News Credits: 2 · Mon Nov 03, 2008 7:04 pm

Quinn got the start? Bummer...right after Cleveland signed Anderson to a big time long term contract...

News Credits: 1 · Mon Nov 03, 2008 7:11 pm

They announced it today.

One of my favorite QBs came out of his short retirement this weekend though :grin:

Daunte Culpepper signed a two year deal with Detroit

Hopefully, Daunte can help the Lions.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Detroit shouldn't let something like "hope" interfere with their perfect season! They just GOTTA do it! 0-16 baby! :APPLAUSE:

Well the Colts ended their 2 game loosing streak this last weekend. Was still a pretty good game, though it was definitly weaker than past Colts/Pats meetings. Now its time to get ready for the Steelers. I honestly think the Colts got a pretty good chance.

Theoretically Tennessee can still loose the division! We'll see what happens. I haven't given up on the Colts yet...not one bit!

Browns DBs... Jay Cutler goes nomnomnom.

What a TNF game. Broncos with a great win. Something about facing the Browns brings out the best in Broncos QBs.
