Explain to me how in the hell the Pats walk into the desert, with their top two players out, and beat a full-loaded Cards team? How can that happen, on the road, against an SB favorite?

Brady or Belichick...seriously? Talk about freaking plug-n-play system, they can plug in virtually any player and be a Superbowl contender. I think games like this only prove the intellectual prowess of William Stephen Belichick, and that he could have made Tom Brady, of course, with some help from Brady.

And "LOL Cowchicks"! Not only do they lose in classic Cowboy fashion, but Romo is literally a disaster waiting to happen. I don't agree with that clown Dilfer and his doomsday prediction about Romo, but I can see where he's coming from.

Don't sleep on da Raidaz!

No way Houston beats Kansas City. And, I think Washington bottles it and Dallas gets the win.

If the league is serious about protecting its players, then they'd start handing out suspensions along with fines for the more egregious and leaping hits.
If the league was serious about protecting the players, they'd start fining the referees for not calling these kinds of hits. If you commit a leaping, helmet to helmet, you're ejected from the game. If the refs "don't see it", they are fined. This shit would clear up real fucking quick.

That, too. I mean, it's their job to watch for these things, and if they don't see it, then they're not doing their jobs, and are incompetent, and need to be sacked.

I don't understand how this is news to anybody. When Brady went down in 2008 they still went 11-5. Wasn't good enough for playoffs, but they were damn close.

Also, it doesn't matter how shitty Indy is and how good Denver is, Indy always causes them problems for some reason. Maybe without Manning it'll be different, but Indy always seems to be Denver's kryptonite as of late. I'm a little nervous

They do suspend them on occasion but most often the result is down ranking them so they don't get any post season spots and the $$ bonus from it.

Kansas City at Houston 1:00 pm - KC keeps getting better.

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 1:00 pm - Ooh, this is a tough one! They're both good.

Tampa Bay at Arizona 4:05 pm
Seattle at L.A. Rams 4:05 pm

This would be a one sided game if not for a moment of stupidity.


Oh that's not good.

well, Buff also contributed 2-4 moments of stupidity letting the Jets convert those 3rd downs. Jets O so far has only looked good enough to push their way through terrible D and earn...2 Fgs.

....and now 1 TD.

Conversely, Buff has only held the ball for about 2 minutes with 1 TD. lol

Been quite some time since they've had this many quality catchers on the field at once.

Now if only they could get a decent TE.


As if they hasn't been said for the last three decades.

Starting? that was about 8 minutes into the 1st quarter.

LoL--I was wondering why this unit was so awful, then I saw Rob Ryan's dumb fuck big hair head on the sidelines. I thought for sure no one with any sense would hire this clown ever again, but then I guess there is his brother--the last chance he will ever have.

How odd will that be, being fired by your brother? Or does the GM take that one?
