Eagles at home down 17-0 to Jacksonville early 2nd quarter. :shock:

Nick Foles with negatibve fantasy points.:-x

[Joemailman]

Bills lead Bears 17-7. Both QB's putting up good numbers. Cutler has 1 INT.

[rdanomly]

Several bad calls against the Bills. Bears getting extra home field advantage from the refs.

[Rutnstrut]

Vikings defense looks pretty good, but they are playing the Rams. Regardless they are tackling very well.

[Striker]

Woodson with a pick today.

Can't be, he's washed up.

[Striker]

Brandin Cooks making me look like a genius in FF today.

[Rastak]

Browns getting pasted - Vikings pitching a shutout again Shaun Hill = yea, I know - Shaun Hill

Vikes D looks improved from last year though.

180 degrees different....they were very good preseason and it seems to be carrying over.

[wist43]

Zimmer is a good coach - and unlike dunderdummy, he actually believes that playing good defense involves fundamentals.

Dunderdummy is just a gimmick coach now...

Minnesota probably has the best defense in the division now.

[Striker]

Let's pump the brakes a bit on the Vikings having the best D in the division...they're not exactly facing an offensive juggernaut today.

No, but it's clear to see that their tackling is a lot better than GB's.

[Rastak]

Cordarrelle Patterson is unreal......

[Rastak]

Bears still tied with Bills....

[Striker]

Cutler being Cutler.

[Rastak]

Harrison Smith houses it.....Barr damn near killed Austin Davis.....

[Rutnstrut]

Aggressive, sure tackling defense.

[Striker]

Things sure went downhill for the Pats and Steelers quickly. Doubt the Pats can find 10 points, but Steelers can still save their day.

Just did.

[Rastak]

Bears lose.....wow, at home.....

[Joemailman]

Saints give up 450 yards passing as they lose in overtime at Atlanta.

[Bossman641]

Atlanta with 568 yards. 568 568 568 568!

[Striker]

Well, good job Romo.

[Rutnstrut]

Niners looking great, especially on D.

[Teamcheez1]

As per above.

New Orleans gives up 568 yards.
Atlanta gives up 472 yards.
New England gives up 191 yards on the ground.

The Packers defense has a lot of work to do, however there are several know-it-alls on this forum that also have a lot of work to do.

[The Shadow]

Feeling better, Packerswise. We lost to the Super Bowl champions on the road - while the Bears lost the the BUFFALOFINGBILLS at HOME!
Listening to Buffone & O'Bradovich now - and Bears fans - hilariously venting.
Always a treat.

[Striker]

Niners looking great, especially on D.

Eh. The Cowboys are doing what they do best with the turnovers and terrible defense. They're still moving the ball pretty easily on them.

And the injuries keep racking up.

It is kind of fun listening to fan line after a rival loses.....I must admit I had a few laughs with I think it was WTMJ

Their defense is pretty bad.

[Patler]

The Vikings could be tough this year. They actually have a QB that is good enough to take advantage of a defense preoccupied with stopping Peterson. Their return game will be good. If the defense is solid, they will win a lot of games.

[Striker]

Romo should toss it into double/triple coverage more often. Good lord.

It was just the Rams but yea, I have a feeling they will be competitive in all games this year.....last year despite winning a few their defense was a doormat. Offense wasn't exactly clicking today but some individual plays crushed them.

[Patler]

KC with two players tearing Achilles tendons in the game, Johnson and Devito:

Just NFL-average QB play will make a big difference for them this year on that side..

Yea, that theory has been floated locally and I think you might be right.

I'm glad he listened to me.

[Rastak]

I might have under estimated the Niners this year - or Dallas is really pathetic.

Murray has 83 rushing yards in 15 attempts. They don't give it to him once in the red zone.

Romo is actually 10/14. But then he just drops it into double/triple coverage because...why not?

The point you are trying to make, just proves our point that without a good defense even teams with a great QB/offense will fail. Plus I am sure those other teams will make the needed adjustments to improve on defense. The Packers have showed that they have no intention of improving their defense.

[pbmax]

Yeah, 49ers D looks like the beneficiaries of Romo's decision to bet on the 49ers on the road.

[KYPack]

Rooting for both teams to destroy each other.

22 serious injuries per side, even though it's bad karma to root for something like that.

[Striker]

Harbaugh whines a lot.

If we are going to wish let's go big. 23 injuries for the Niners as Harbaugh finally strokes out on the sideline.

[Rastak]

Harbaugh whines a lot.


No shit - good grief.....

[Brandon494]

WR K. Benjamin having a nice 1st game for the Panthers today. I know its only one game but I remember a lot of people on here thinking he would be a bust coming out of college.

[Striker]

Now just imagine if they'd run it the other two times they were down here...

FREE THE DRAGON!

[ThunderDan]

Broncos vs Colts just got interesting.

[Guiness]

Anyone watching the Lions/Giants game? What is that field, painted dirt? The way it's flying around when players go down it sure looks like it.

[pbmax]

If its in Jersey, I suspect its either concrete or swampland.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Anyone watching the Lions/Giants game? What is that field, painted dirt? The way it's flying around when players go down it sure looks like it.

Watching the Giants' offense, I realized how predictable the Packers' O is. McAdoo pretty much ran everything out of McCarthy's playbook. That HB flip out of the shutgun is sooo predictable.

Detriot D has a head start preparing for McCarthy's offense. Rodgers better bring his A-game to the Dome in a couple of weeks, or the result might be similar to tonight.
