This is a prime example of how the packers won the super bowl last year. On the road in an impossible environment? Defense and offensive line dealing with injuries? Down 14-0 to start off the game, and fumbled on our first drive?

oh look at that we're winning 25-14 in the 4th. BOOM!

I'm tellin' ya man, the Packers just may be the best team in Football, hands down. Aaron Rodgers makes that team! What a game by the way!

Don't gotta tell me that twice! And people were saying the Eagles would dethrone them this year!

Just goes to show you, be careful what you say before the season starts. Now they're eating all their words, and they taste bitter.

On a different note, it's great to see the Pats win another, but ARGH, their defense. If they don't seriously step it up, it doesn't matter how good Brady and the O go. They could go 15-1 in the regular season, then be one and done in the playoffs.

Yeah, Vick is so overrated! I think the colts could go head to head with them, lol.

This is why I would expect Baltimore to beat down the Pats. That defense is atrocious. If they played a team with a good offense and a solid defense, they would lose no doubt. I also would expect them to lose to the Packers...at this point, though, I don't know if ANYONE is going to beat the Packers this year. That team is far and away the class of the league...and that hurts to say since I'm a Bears fan.

Anyone watch the Monday Night Football game? Heard they were making references to Megatron! I was curious to find out. :shock:

That would be Calvin Johnson, the Lions Wide Reciever who has taken Megatron as his nickname.

It's kinda cool...even saw folks in the stands wearing Megatron (Bayverse) masks. Fun fact: The Chicago Bears offensive line is made of paper mache'.

Jay Cutler has felt more sacks than Jenna Jameson

Despite the fact that he was getting hit on more than a D-cup 18 year old porn actress, Cutler was actually pretty damned impressive. A lot of talk in Chicago is centered on Mike Martz and his inability to call plays that focus on Cutler's strengths: his arm, his mobility, and his talent of throwing on the run outside the pocket. He is the only weapon the Bears have on offense. Like I said, the offensive line is made of paper mache', the wideouts couldn't catch the shockwave from a nuclear explosion, and the vaunted defense has allowed more big plays than any other team in the NFL this year. Can someone please tell Lovie Smith that everyone has figured out the Tampa 2? The Bears need a complete changeover, starting with that idiot Jerry Angelo- a guy who has failed on EVERY SINGLE FIRST ROUND PICK he's made. Cade McNown? WHat about Cedric Benson? Chris Colombo- this guy ended up missing his entire first season because he came out of college NEEDING BACK SURGERY!! And Angelo took him in the first round. Greg Olsen? Great speed, decent hands, coudln't block a d-lineman with the Great Wall of China. And how about trying to sign some actual wide receivers to catch the football? His signings? Chester Taylor and Brandon Manumaleuna.

End of rant. :BANG_HEAD:

Agreed. The Lions still look to be the favorite for the wild card at this point. I also have to put this question forward: the Packers are so dominating right now...could we see 19-0 this year? None of the games they have played in have ever been in doubt. The way they are dominating really reminds me of 1985 when the Bears just crushed nearly everyone- granted they are dominating on the offensive side instead of the defense- but it's still similar.

Speaking of the Bears, another question: did the Bears improve that much over a week, or is Minnesota that bad? Chicago just crushed them last night. And WHY DO YOU KICK TO DEVON HESTER?!?!?!? The guy has 19 returns for touchdowns in only 6 or 7 years.

News Credits: 22 · Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:36 am

Yeah I know. But with their first loss out of the way, they will either become really hard to beat or fade into mediocrity. And tonight, if the Jets lose to f-ing Miami, I'm gonna be a little upset. The last time I saw them in primetime, the Ravens totally obliterated them. And if they lose tonight, goodbye playoffs. Not even a wild card. Ugh.

News Credits: 2 · Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:38 am

The Jets will win tonite. Miami has zero offense and the Jets have a pretty good defense. Jets 30-10 is my call.

one other note: if I were New England, I'd be very worried. Dallas sucks. They should have blown them out. But the Pats nearly lost. And that has got to disturb the Hoodie. If they make the playoffs, I suspect a one and done again.

Do they play the Dolphins?

The Vikings are that bad.

The Vikings are that bad.

"We're going after it. We're not going to kick away from him. Hey, we respect him and he's the best, but we have guys on our coverage teams that are paid to make big tackles." - Todd Sauerbrun, before the Broncos vs Bears game in 2007

Devin Hester returns a kickoff and punt for 2 TDs

"I shouldn't have kicked to Devin Hester" - Todd Sauerbrun after the game

Sauerbrun gets cut

I love me some packers

I've been a fan of em since I was born, seeing them do this great is fantastic to behold.

However, I have an interesting fantasy football story...so I'm playing in a money ESPN standard league (1 QB, 2 RBs, WR/RB flex, 2 WRs, TE, DEF/ST, and a K for the uniformed) with slightly deeper benches (9 per team plus 2 injury slots)

I tied the first week because Moreno is an incompetant jackass and welker got a fluke 99 yard TD...and then this week, I go into the MNF football game up by seven, my opponent has shonne greene...and I tied again

I was not amused, though a 3-1-2 record isn't the worst thing to happen to be in fantasy football I suppose (and still at the top of my division due to a tiebreaker with a 4-2 team lol)
