That lions catch is funny. Looks like he let go of the ball on purpose. Sucks that the rules are going to get him for that.

I'm sorry, but if this is not a TD something is seriously wrong with this game. That is a catch.

This is why I don't watch the NFL. That is the worst fucking bullshit call I have ever seen. Two steps, knee and ass down, the guy is fucking turning and standing up. IT'S A FUCKING CATCH.

If Fox could switch to the Eagles game that would be great. Nobody cares about the Panthers and Giants.

That rule needs some serious looking at if that's what they based that on. Use some common fucking sense.

That was a fucking CATCH. He had possession. He broke the plane. If you watch the replay he basically set the ball down. Last I checked if you have possession and break the plane AND he was down by contact then it's a touchdown. He completed a catch. Too bad Goodell is too much of a pussy to do anything. He'll send an 'apology' to the Lions I'll bet.

If I was commish I'd can all those refs to make an example of what happens when you blow a call that egregiously.

Fucking bullshit.

Let's see how many more leagues can fuck Detroit this year. Truly amazing.

The end of this Giants Panthers game has been a shit show. Turnover after turnover.

I'm ready for the Packers to kick some butt and Jermichael Finley to help me catch up in my fantasy game.

Take the colts out of the superbowl discussion IMO. They weren't out schemed or lost on a fluke play they were straight manhandled. Superbowl teams don't get physically dominated like that.

I have never seen Peyton Manning slapped around like that. Ever. Even still, he passed for 433 yards and 3 TDs. Too bad the defense sucked and his receivers dropped key passes and had a terrible fumble.

And trust me, it wasn't because the Texans are awesome. The Colts were just that awful and Polian's outright refusal to acquire OL with high draft picks or through FA is going to kill us.

So far the Eagles defense is looking pretty decent, especially since everyone is in love with the Packers offense. We'll see if they can keep it up after several 3 and outs in a row by the offense. I don't have much confidence in Kolb.

OK I watched most of the Bears game and am watching the Packers game and so far NO FUCKING FOX SPORTS ROBOT!

Please let it be true that they got rid of that thing!

Also, hope the Pack wins, but I do like the Eagles new unis and colors. Throwback to the Eagles I grew up with!

I didn't like the too dark green unis of the McNabb era.

Michael Vick puts SO much pressure on a defense! I mean, will he run or . . . will he briefly look to pass and then run?
