Thought I'd make a thread to discuss the early games, since we're all dieing of anticipation, until 4:15. On my TV schedule I've got Carolina/Atlanta and Baltimore/Tampa Bay.
Carolina should be a good game.

I've got a question for people in this thread seeing as how a lot of you participate in fantasy football. Would you be happy to see your players do well at the risk of them hurting the Packers chances of winning games and or the division?

Bills 17 - Pat's 7.
becomes 17 Bills - 14 Pat's (6:32 remaining the 3rd Qtr).
DAM . . . Brady threw a super little hitch pass to WR Kevin Falk. . who makes an impressive diving catch in the right side of the end zone. Kevin faulk shakin' up on that catch falling on the ball.
Faulk was just inducted into the LSU Hall of Fame.

Tom Brady is and always has been the epitome of an average quarterback overhyped because of an excellent supporting cast. He's basically a glorified Brad Johnson. He doesn't make many mistakes, but he's not somebody who's going to go out and lead a comeback on his own.

Tom Brady is a Great General out there. He runs for two and then on the next play hits Rech Caldwell to the Bills 17.
Then. .3-7-BUF 14 (9:42) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass incomplete short right to TE D.Graham. (That pass was pretty good.
4-7-BUF 14 (9:37) S.Gostkowski 32 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-L.Paxton, Holder-J.Miller.
