Damn you Chiefs! Thought you would pull that out. Stupid 2.5 point spread. :thumbsdown:

Any predictions for the final score of the Packers-Cowboys game?

I'll go with 21-3, Packers. I do hope, however, that Dallas somehow manages to win.

Great day of NFL. I picked Buffalo and Detroit to win and they both came up short. Detroit totally blew it though. Suh on the extra point? xD

Favre was amazing, maybe the last time we'll ever see him like that. Bout time the viking defense got going a little bit though, also AP.

Eagles got penalized for two BS unnecessary roughness calls, but they still won so it's alright I guess.

Yeah, the "best defense in the world" gave up 21 points to an average offense, would have been more if Stafford had a fucking shoulder. Congratulations Rex, you beat a completely mediocre team, and your mediocre QB beat an awful secondary. Can't wait to hear the shit talk.

Everyone knows the Lions are better than 2-6, and the game was in Detroit. There are some good things the Jets take from this game; Revis looks like he's finally returning to form, shutting down an elite receiver, and Sanchez made throws in high pressure situations.

The Jets started the season strong and are in a little bit of a lull right now. If they go into January playing like this I'll be worried, but for a mid-season game, I take it.

I'm in between on Sanchez, I don't think he'll be a top flight QB that many Jets fans seem to think, but I think he'll be better than average. He definitely needs to be more consistent.

I was emo earlier.

Revis was good, the first play of the game was great. I don't think Stafford targeted Calvin more than 3 times or so though, he should have tried to force it in a little more. Burleson played great, though.

Still not buying into anything Sanchez does against that secondary, though. Jets O-line is certainly good, and if the Lions D-line doesn't get pressure the secondary can't do anything.

I have an idea. Let's drop an interception that hits us square in the hands.

See, i think that the colt's secondary thinks they are in Madden. that is the only possible defense you can provide is batting a ball away, even when the QB throws right in your hands.

Do not worry. Take solice that your game was not as pathetic as the Pat's games. Pats are 6-2, but they have not played like it. The only thing keeping the pat's afloat is their coach, because Brady sure as hell has not played that well.

refs blow another call, that was not TD

That was pretty close in a lot of traffic so I don't really blame them

Man - not only are the Cowboys falling apart it seems the entire universe is against them this year

Dam...I think Dallas is going to look for a new coach soon. I thought Childress was in the lead too.

The Packers definitely got away with one on that "fumble return" TD, but I guess that'll teach Wade to use all his time-outs...:p

I was very surprised that Oaktown managed to beat the Chiefs today...BUT, their defense was tough, the offense did a pretty good job moving the ball in the second half...almost like they changed players at the half.

Raiders have a BYE next week which means that Gradkowski, & Asomougha will be back healthy to finish the season.

Officials tried to give the Chiefs the win but Cable & the players pulled it out.


Would love to see the Raiders make the post-season.
