Cowboys better throw the damn ball in the rematch with the Eagles or I might need to be put in a mental hospital for a few weeks.

If Romo's back is better, it will be a much better game. And I hope they fix their god awful playcalling

Seattle Philly should be a good one, looking forward to Sanchez v Seattle D especially

Houston Texans Won! Too Bad The Goddamn Browns Couldn't Hold The Colts. They Were So Goddamn Close.

edit: (all caps messages make only the first letter caps?)

Honestly I think it would be neat to see the Cardinals in the Superbowl in their own stadium but I don't know if they can do it and I'm not a Cardinals fan but it would be cool.

 

Pats manage to overcome the Chargers. Weird game though, barely any running yards in the 2nd half by either team - really stout defense.

Browner needs to stop giving up penalties, it's starting to get ridiculous. While I don't agree with the helmet to helmet penalty that negated McCourty's pick 6 he has accounted for way too many penalties.

Also nice to see Jamie Collins stepping up and taking the green dot - also got 2 nice sacks on the day

Ty for beating the Chargers who are in the AFC wildcard race with the Texans, I'll be rooting for you next week against the dolphins who are also in the race.

I'm expecting that to be a close one tbh, despite the Patriots being the better team the Phins & Giants seem to match up really well against us for some reason

I lost it that pick six was called back.. jesus christ let them play.

Even though I wasn't all that worried about the outcome at any point during the game, that game should have been over at halftime (Instead Brady giftwraps a ball to Teo and decides to take his foot off the pedal in the 3rd)...

 

Cleveland threw their season away when they kept Hoyer in. I really hope they don't throw Manziel into the fire here to try and chase a playoff spot. Would be a shitty situation.

Pats are a nice lookin team but looked somewhat sloppy tonight.

San Fran lost to Oakland, a team who got beaten by the Rams 52-0, and I think it markes the end of Jim Harbaugh. Unless he can get them into the playoffs and do halfway decent there, hes done at the end of the season. While on the topic, the Rams defense have gotten two shutouts in a row, beating Washington 24-0. Colt McCoy dissapointed, after his amazing game last week, really wanted to see him do well. I think he can get back into it.

The Browns made a mistake starting Hoyer, put Manziel in.

Seattle is going to repeat...been saying this for months now. The NFC had the chance to bury them after the Dallas game and the Harvin trade and they've risen like a phoenix from the ashes....

Nobody is going to stop Seattle.

Disagree. Packers with how they're playing.

Grew up a Packers fan.

it aint happening.

Packers cannot beat the NFC West going on a good 3-4 yrs now. Got absolutely pounded in the opener.

While the Packers have improved since then, their only hope is it being @home. Where even there, they couldn't beat an nfc west team last yr..even though Kaepernick played like utter shit in that game.

And as for the Patriots, doubt they'd fare much better against Seattle's defense.

Eagles came into today ranked #1 in offense, were at home..and got completely shut down. Seattle went for it from their own 30 and didn't get it. That was one of the Eagles tds. The eagles only had 1 actual full-field drive for a td. One.

Seattle Seahawks repeat champs. Heard it here first.

As I said before, Mark Sanchez is just going to dissapoint. He played well against the boys in blue, but they had played like 3 games in under 2 weeks, Romo was injured, and their defense is iffy on a good day, so beating the Eagles at home isn't as big of a deal as it may seem.
However, I agree that Seattle is playing well, and will continue to, but I don't think they can repeat.
Another prediction, Denver gets knocked out in the first round.

This Packers defense is EXACTLY why they won't beat Seattle.

Debatable. Aaron Rodgers has the ability to torch Seattle.

Like he did the first time? lol.

He cannot torch Seattle. Packers would score 20-23 max vs Seattle.

That means all Russ has to do is score more, which is very feasible against the Packers abysmal secondary.

20-23 would be maximum output too, that's assuming a near perfect game from the Packers.

Seattle would beat Green Bay. I'm positive. I'd put large sums of money on it.

I would take you up on that bet but I'm not too positive about the matchup. Rodgers had a rough patch in the beginning but is turning it up now.
