NFL - National Football League

1. Adrian Peterson is amazing.

2. The Eagles still aren't looking good and have terrible special teams.

3. The Pats look unstoppable.

4. Good to see the Saints get back on track.

I'm 7/13 this week in my pro football pickem with tonight's game to go, which puts me 4th out of 25. One of my two fantasy teams won (the one with Adrian Peterson!). Not bad!

 

You and me both, Dizzney. They have beaen many of the tougher teams, though they have never lost to the Redskins in quite a few years.

Thank goodness for a bye week, they eed to rest up and recover!

 

Count me in for loving how good the Packers are doing this year. We shouldn't have lost to the Bears though...I was disappointed with that loss. You're right about the bye week though, they need the break right now.

 

Resurrecting an old thread here I guess :lol: Being a Giants fan, it was not a good week of football for me but I was happy to see the Bears and Jets win. I really hope the Saints can repeat this year or at least make it to postseason.

 

Well ....I might also put in my 2 cents.

Started as an one-team fan (Steelers) but quickly realized that was too heart - breaking. So now I "follow" Ravens, Falcons, Giants AND Steelers. But still have weeks with losses across the board:lol:.

Haven´t yet seen the Monday night game. But it should be great as two fantastic teams are playing

 

It was a great game. Down to the very last play :thumbsup:

 

It was a fantistic game. But so was the Falcon/ Saints game. So a nice weekend of football indeed. Next weekend early game here:

Raven vs. Steelers :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: That should be XXXXX

 

I was so mad none of my local channels aired that game. I had to catch up with the highlights on sportscenter and online :shifty: 2 of my favorite teams.

 

I'm primarily a Bears fan, but I am starting to like the Falcons more since the direction of the franchise has changed. Nice to see both teams get a win this week. I hope the Bears can get a couple of more wins so they can get the credit they deserve.

 

A team that really puzzles me is the 49 s. They were super great at some point in history but watching them is no fun at this moment.

How do you think Falcon - fans is wacthing Vick at the moment any regrets?

And as I am European I need to ask:

Sometimes the commentators "blame" the owners or organisation for the bad teams. AKA Cowboys owner tries to .... So how much influence does the owner or organisation have on the field? If Rothlisberger plays badly he will NOT get beached as he is the highest paid player???

 

I would say at this rate I think my NFC prediction is this:

NFC South

1. New Orleans Saints 12-4 (Division Round Bye)
2. Atlanta Falcons 10-6 (Wild Card)
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-9
4. Carolina Panthers 7-9

NFC West

1. Arizona Cardinals 9-7
2. Seattle Seahawks 7-9
3. San Francisco 49ers 6-10
4. St. Louis Rams 5-11

NFC North

1. Chicago Bears 13-3 (Home Field Advantage)
2. Green Bay Packers 11-5 (Wild Card)
3. Minnesota Vikings 9-7 (Sorry Brett)
4. Detroit Lions 1-15 (Ugh!)

NFC East

1. Philadelphia Eagles 11-5
2. Washington Redskins 9-7
3. New York Giants 8-8
4. Dallas Cowboys 8-8

In the AFC Side, my prediction is as follows:

AFC South:

1. Indianapolis Colts 12-4
2. Houston Texans 11-5 (Wild Card)
3. Tennessee Titans 9-7
4. Jacksonville Jaguars 8-8

AFC West

1. Kansas City Chiefs 13-3 (Comeback kids)
2. San Diego Chargers 10-6
3. Denver Broncos 8-8
4. Oakland Raiders 6-10

AFC North

1. Pittsburgh Steelers 13-3
2. Cincinnati Bengals 11-5 (Wild Card)
3. Baltimore Ravens 9-7
4. Cleveland Browns 4-12 (Mangini could very well be fired)

AFC East

1. Miami Dolphins 11-5
2. New York Jets 11-5 (Wild Card)
3. New England Patriots 9-7
4. Buffalo Bills 5-11

At this rate this early though, it could play out completely different.

 

What a crazy day and there's still a huge game to be played tomorrow night. Lots of upsets and I don't even know how to describe that Eagles/49ers game.

 

Brett Favre's streak ends tonight at 297 regular season games. Many are predicting this will be the end of his career as well.

I'd say so. That hand did not look good tonight when they showed him on the sideline.

In other news, the NFC East is gonna be tough as always. Eagles at Giants will definitely be a great game.
