Packers just made too many mistakes, whether it was penalties or pass protection or dropped passes. Favre was better than I thought he still could be.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

Packers had too many dropped passes. Oh...and their O-Line needs some work. I know the Vikings have a great pass rush and great defense but still....

As for the Vikings...well, we will see. Favre threw some suspect passes in my opinion, and the Packers did a good job keeping Peterson contained.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

I'm really pumped for the Broncos vs. Patriots game. The undefeated Broncos have ex-Bears quarterback Kyle Orton who has yet to throw an INT this year. Pretty impressive if I must say. It should be an intense game or a total blowout in favor of the Pats. The Steelers will have been yelled at by Tomlin and I expect them to beat the Lions pretty easily. The Panthers vs. Redskins game should be close. The Giants and the Jaguars get freebies this week.

Sunday Night football should be good....look to see the Titans improve to 0-5. :p

And I'm calling the Rams over the Minnesota Vikings.

Should be a good week of football.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

Rams over the Vikings? Isn't that a bit of a stretch? I guess if I was going to pick an upset, I'd go with the Browns over the Bills, because the Bills are technically a better team. There's also the Bengals vs. Ravens game, which should be good,

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

I'm waiting for Favre to have a bad day. It's gonna happen. And the 49ers have a solid offense and defense this year, at least from what I have seen. If they stop Peterson and they put pressure on Favre....well. We will see.

Anyway The Bills has become good drama. Is Dick Jouran gonna get fired? He's not a good coach.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

But the Vikings are playing the Rams, not the Niners...Niners already lost to the Vikes...Rams look like the worst team in football this year.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

Ha, touche. Not sure where I got the 49ers from...I did mean the Rams. I'm still calling the Rams as the upset. Favre is due for a bad day. And I'd like to think if I keep saying it it will come true. :D

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

Well, KG, the Rams lost.

There were a bunch of blow outs today, so they're not really worth talking about. The teams that won those games were expected to.

Anyway, some big games today were...

Denver beating New England
Atlanta killed San Franciscio, which was surprising.
Cincinnati beat the Ravens in a really close game, to take the AFC North for now
Arizona beat Houston right at the end of the game

Kansas City ALMOST beat Dallas...:doh:


Most amusing game...and sad as well

Cleveland 6
Buffalo 3

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

WTF Buffalo right? You gotta be worried if your name is Dick Jouran.

Anyway the Rams game was a total blowout...it looked like they were putting up a defensive front semi-early but they kept fumbling the ball. The Butterfinger Rams. That also sounds like sexual term.

I was on NFL.com reading the Broncos game discussion...a lot of Broncos/Bears hate because of the Cutler thing. You know, I wish Orton the best and I will be rooting for Denver all the way (unless they play the Bears). Orton is a helluva guy, both in his work effort and his attitude. He has been playing intelligent football and making smart decisions. A few of his passes were questionable, but he manages the game very well and he throws a good slant. And any day when the Patriots lose is a good day for me.

I'm a little worried about Atlanta...because I think the Bears play them next week.

And it seems to me that even though Arizona and Dallas won, right now these two teams do not look like great Playoff contenders. Same goes to the Steelers...we will see how they shape up.

I'm surprised the Jaguars got beaten so badly....

And how about McNabb! Damn! He's so good. That's why I'm a fan. I hope Philly is too.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

I'm definitely a fan, and always have been. A lot of his troubles early on were having mediocre receivers. The only thing he does, which gets frustrating, is throwing the ball too low, so it hits the ground a lot. Other than that, he's become a great QB, and I always feel very good about the Eagles chances when he's healthy.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

Crazy, I just found out today that a guy I went to highschool with got signed by the Panthers at the beginning of the pre-season, (Played in all 4 games) then released, and just got signed the other day to the BC Lions.
He was also the only Canadian selected to play in the 2009 Texas vs. The Nation Game.

What have I done with my life.:ohreilly:

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

Looks like the Vikings are flying away with a lead in the NFC North.

They still have games against the Bengals, Cardinals and Steelers but if the rest of the division doesn't start playing good football then I think this might be the Vikings' year.

Also the Bears played football almost equally as bad as week 1 last night. Bleh.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

At least they lost to the Falcons, who are pretty decent his year in terms of the NFC. The damn Eagles lost to the Raiders.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

Hahah, yeah I saw that. I was like oh snap the Eagles fans must be cringing! I'm pumped for tonight's game....are the Broncos a fluke? At least 3 of their games have been won by one score or less in the 4th...I'm thinking they're like a 4-2 team with good Karma. But we will see.

Also, The Titans. LOL.

Re: Official NFL Thread 2009-2010
 

Are the Titans still in the NFL?
