Nick Folk, Chris Ivory and Shane Vereen all good fantasy plays so far.

I thought Nick Folk was a QB for the Bald Eagles.

Right now, I'm really concerned that the Lions are the real deal. I'll be keeping an eye on their game (at home) against the Saints.

That Lion defense is really playing well. When you read their quotes in the papers here in Detroit, they talk about feeling like no one can score on them. They talk about how aggressive and confident they are.

You talk to the Packer defenders, they're talking about adjusting schemes and keeping to your assignments and adjusting to the offense. It's a depressing comparison.

Now, the Lion offense is struggling, and Johnson probably won't play again Sunday. But their offensive line though not playing well now is probably better than GB's, and I'd rather have a team that has a stellar defense and whose offense is coming along and has potential, especially with a receiver like Megatron.

Dammit.

Jets blew it big time last night. The game was well within reach, and they couldn't put it away. The Jets had an inexplicable drive early in the 4th quarter. Starts with the punt returner walking away from a ball that was going to land just inside the 20...the ball bounces forward and NE down it at the 7. Then the Jets get a holding penalty on the non-return! Half the distance to the goal, leaving them to start from the 4. Jets drive goes nowhere (one first down due to penalty), the Jets pooch a punt out of bounds and NE gets the ball back in Jets territory.

Jets waste a great game by Ivory. Gino's stat line looks good (20/34, 226yds, 1TD, 0INT) but his play didn't pass the eyeball test at all.

Rams playing to win. Fake punt deep in their own territory and convert on the Seahawks. Lol.

[Bossman641]

[denverYooper]

Wow. Brees scrambled for a 1st on 4th and long.

[denverYooper]

So close to a perfect weekend.

I really wish the Saints had won before our game down there.

Rams beat the fucking Gulls! They're somewhat unlucky but they play hard for the Fisher King.

Last fumble wasn't reviewed.

Gutsy special team calls by the Rams. Fake punt in clutch time. Perfectly executed the "trick" punt return play that the Bears ran on the Packers a few years back - Hester ran opposite the direction of the ball and a Bear receiver/gunner CB named Johnny Cage/Cash/Whatever caught it at the other side and took it to the house (play was called back due to penalty).
