The lions are really good they just can't put together a complete season it's really simple actually.

Stafford. Average player bailed out by immense talent on offense.

Rarely clutch.

That's why I never trust the Lions..Stafford.

Well I think it's funny everyone counts the Bears out if they finish 10-6 they probably take a wild card spot. Not even a Bears fan though. Honestly it's not even Cutler as much as it's that defense that is stat based information and not opinion. Greenbay is Greenbay. Aaron Rodgers is probably the best QB in the NFL. The Pats will more then likely be representing the AFC in the Super bowl and The Cardinals or the Packers from the NFC.

Don't forget Eddie Lacy lol, even though im not a packers fan, I have to admit, Lacy is probably one of the most crazy runners I have ever seen, and he only has a year of experience in the nfl

When Arian comes back the Texans will be alot better!!!....... and so will my fantasy team :'(

 

[MagicMushroom]

Lacy will be good for a while and then his knees will go and he will start to have problems like most of your typical "bruising backs"

agreed lol, Blue isn't doing a terrible job filling the role of Foster though, he's doin alright imo

Cowboys playcalling today beyond asinine. One of worst secondaries in the league in Philly and they're not going vertical. Did they even watch the Packers-Eagles game film?

This is why this team always chokes...they don't have the intelligence to cater a game-plan towards one team. Inexcusable too, how do you not know your division rivals weaknesses?

Pathetic. Hopefully the 2nd half is better but it's looking like a rout.

Also- The Cowboys have the worst home crowd in football, bar-none.

@turmoil - Told ya Seattle would win.

yep, gg me. I also predicted the Cowboys routing the Eagles, with Mark Sanchez making key mistakes/interceptions. Mark Sanchez played exceptionally well, with not one notable mistake. The Cowboys would run the ball on 3rd and 7 against one of the worst pass defenses in the league, and kept trying to rush even though DeMarco Murray wasn't getting it done. You could 100% see Romo's bad back affecting his play, even with 10+ yards of open field he would launch the ball out of bounds to a double teamed receiver instead of running it. He was overthrowing and underthrowing receivers, and didn't throw for a single touchdown. Hats off to Mark Sanchez (was today the anniversary of the butt fumble?). To the Cowboys credit, they only had a few days rest, and its hard to play 3 games in 12 days. They are playing again on Thursday against the Bears, should be a good pick-me-up even though it is in a week. Also, the Jets have the absolute worst fan-base at home, hardly anybody shows up, and those that do have given up before they reach the field, and show up to yell at the other teams fans. Dallas' defense needs to improve, the other teams first drive of the game has resulted in a TD 3 games in a row now. To their credit, they did a decent job keeping the Eagles fast paced offense away from a TD while in the red-zone.

You did tell me, Seahawks just straight up outplayed the 49ers. San Fran hasn't even even managed 50 yards on the ground yet.

Only prediction I made right was the Lions winning, which was all but a no brainer. Chicago blew their early 14-3 lead, and Megatron never looked back after catching his first TD.

 

Hype for pats v packers?

 

The cowboys defense was exposed, they cant cover with zone's. Their only hope is man on man and sending extra help because they cant get to the quarterback with 4. Dont forget the cowboys have lost all 3 starting linebackers for the year.

rarely clutch? wut? is this a troll post?

 

One person posted this as proof that GB will beat out NE

Proof 1: I was intrigued by the two starting QB's both being the best in their conference and sporting jersey #12.

12 + 12 = 24
24 x 2 = 48
48/12 = 4
Brett Favre is number 4
Brett Favre #4 is also known as Iron Man
Iron = atomic number 26
2 x 6 = 12

Conclusions: There can only be 1 #12. Which makes sense, only one can win the game on Sunday. But this doesn't solve the equation.


Well it's a start... so i went back to it.

Proof 2: I started again with the jersey numbers.... HERES WHERE IT GETS CRAZY

12 + 12 = 24
24 x 2 = 48
48/12 = 4
Brett Favre is number 4
Brett Favre #4 is also known as Iron Man
Which brings us to the Ironbowl from Saturday.
#1 beat #15 with a final score of 55 to 44.
1 + 15 + 55 + 44 = 115
115 is a heptagonal pyramidal number and a lucky number. Ahh another clue.

"Luck"y number.... Andrew luck also wears number 12. This can't be a coincidence. The only other current nfl starting QB with the number 12.

Using Proof 1, which states that there can only be 1 #12, Andrew luck cancels out Tom Brady since they are both in the AFC. This leaves only Aaron Rodger.

Conclusion: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will defeat Tom Brady and the Patriots. And dare I say go on to win the Superbowl?!

SMH lmao, can't wait though

Nevermind about the Giants breaking even, losing to the Jaguars is kinda unforgiveable.

Also, the Packers look great so far

 

Well I guess that's that. To be fair I was expecting the Packers to win since they've be phenomenal with the home field advantage, great game though.

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

Game lived up to the hype.

Couple of shocks at the end there (Adams drop was inexcusable).

Surprised the Gronk play wasn't at least challenged. That looked close.

Definite potential SB preview in that one. Seattle is gonna be a stiff threat to GB though.

Defense should have stopped Rodgers on the last 3rd down, im sure brady could have made a comeback. Anyways, good game played by both pats and packs

How about them Chargers though?

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

At the end of the day it's just a season game, but it was probably the best game I've watched this year.

Complete competitiveness throughout, result in doubt throughout, a TON of surprises in the game.

I really hope we get to see that again on a neutral field.

Honestly the texans are still going nowhere they're way to inconsistent and have no quarterback. Ten is a horrible team that blew a massive lead to Cleveland. As for the Pats they will still be in the AFC championship game at least I feel like it will be against Denver again as well.
