Exciting MNF game with the Eagles at the Colts. So far this season's theme is to have a boring first half followed by an exciting and close second half. I have no strong feelings one way or another for either team, but I once again found myself having fun watching an exciting second half of prime time football.
As far as the actual game portion of the NFL goes, it is shaping up to be a fun season already!
Here's to another disappointing season for my Giants. I couldn't even watch my team repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot yesterday because I was too busy being forced to instead watch the Dolphins get embarrassed by the Bills (my stepfather and stepbrother are huge Dolphins fans).
Consider yourself lucky then. Eli actually played well but he got let down by his skill players. Also, can we finally admit we need a new special teams coach? I feel like every year we get our heart ripped out by a punt return.
Take care all.
Packers win with another Aaron Rodgers passfest. I'm beginning to think that the defense will never improve. That being said, Jordy Nelson was a beast Sunday.
Eddie Lacy however has not been. Maybe as a Bears fan my plan worked! too bad I didn't get Rodgers then :(Quote:

That said, they got lucky on that blown timeout call. The game would have been tied and I don't have enough faith in the team to stop a terrible QB like Geno Smith forever. It could have ended in tied game...second one in two years it would have been. Whatever. The season is still young and the Packers can still win this pitiful division. The Vikings are now clearly going to be in last place so we have that going for us =D
the NFC North, more like the NFC No Dear God Why
The Raiders look like a practice squad out there.
Isn't it pretty much the same line he ran behind last year though? Your rookie center didn't look too bad against Seattle.Quote:

Derreck Sherrod is currently starting in place of Bulaga and the Rookie Center is being made to look far better than he is with two good guards in TJ Lang and Josh Sitton. TJ Lang is being force to try and make up for being sandwiched inbetween two inexperienced linemen and I think it currently shows. Unfortunatly both Sherrod and Linsley where unforunatly thrust into the spot light after both Tretter went down in preseason week 3 and Bulaga week 1. I am not saying it can't come together as the Pack should get back Bulaga this week or next week and Tretter no long afterwards. Against two good defenses in the Jets and Seahawks, that in experience was greatly taken advantage of.Quote:

I would love to talk to Bear fans right now that insisted that it was a bad idea to let go of Lovie Smith and/or take McCown over Cutler.
Please, enlighten me. As I type this the score is 0-35 with the Falcons in the lead.
EDIT:
0-42 when I opened up this thread. Bucs botch snap. Falcons score again. 0-49.
This is the funniest and saddest game I've ever seen.
EDIT2: This is the funniest subreddit on the planet right now: http://www.reddit.com/r/buccaneers
EDIT3: The ref just misspoke a penalty. "Unnecessary Refness." I can't breathe.
EDIT4: Back up Falcons QB is in. Falcons still get a touchdown. 0-56. It's not even the 4th quarter. This whole team is getting fired.
Can the game automatically end when Atlanta breaks the Bears' record 73-0 margin of victory over the Redskins?
Well, the Bucs got a touchdown and just got a pick 6 just now.
14-56.
The first touchdown was a blatant pushoff and the second one was against a backup QB.
What a mess, still.
