[Retro Rob]

I have to admit that I cannot chose the Bengals/Steelers and Pack/Horses games. Those games can go either way.

BTW, anyone agree with me that its hypocritical for the NFL to fine players for expressing themselves in the interest of abuse/breast cancer awareness?

Something about the Dan Campbell and his machismo.

 

[dainthomas]

Lol @ the Bears winning.

Lol @ the Bears winning.

I really HATE the Vikings, that's why.

PETA protests Tom Brady Dolphin slaughter

While on the surface it seems stupid, but think of it as all other "zero tolerance" policies, which basically mean WE CAN'T THINK FOR OURSELVES, they just do it to any thing that moves that violates the policy and don't even think about it. Reason being they'd have to start using whats left of their brain cells to realize what is or isn't a violation of their dress code or whatever.

PETA protests Tom Brady Dolphin slaughter

I don't think any "slaughter" will be in the offing, the Pats are a VERY banged up team right now, 3 O-lineman out, RB Lewis out, their best D-lineman out and Miami has found it's stride under interim coach Campbell. Granted the last two teams they faced were the Texans and the Titans, but if your a good team playing a lousy team your supposed to blow them out. I see a tight ballgame that could easily be the first loss for the Pats this year.

how about back dez ass up, since dez byrant is back for the cowgirls this week against the seachickens.

Hmm. Would agree, but I don't see any interim coach beating Belichick in Gillette.

 

[glenn1]

Gronk smash early. Let's see how the Fins come out on their possession.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

My Phins have no chance.

 

[emperus]

My Phins have no chance.

Those last few offensive plays looked like they have an interim coach. But game is still early.

 

[Svnla]

Look like the feeling good the Fins has so far is gone.

 

[BUTCH1]

My Phins have no chance.

They need to get away from the "trick" plays like QB runs and just let RT throw. Last week Fitzpatrick was converting 3rd and long all game long.

 

[JujuFish]

Woo, Buffalo can't lose this week!

 

[emperus]

Hmm. Not feeling these penalties. 2 drives. 2 personal fouls (15 yards each). And the first one looked ticky tack., they didn't show the 2nd one.

 

[BUTCH1]

Possible missed call on Gronk there, camera was too far away to tell if he had his hand holding him while the ball is in the air.

They showed the replay with the ref, looking directly at the Pass Interference.

 

[Svnla]

Way to choke already Fins. 2 pts safety because of bad snap.

Yea, Amendola is kinda small of a dude for that call and they just showed the Gronk play, he definitely was held on that play.....WOW..safety! how TF does that happen?.

 

[BUTCH1]

Given how fucking shady Goodell is and how much mud is on his face thanks to Berman I'm not shocked the Ref's are calling it 100% against the Pats.

 

[emperus]

Don't want to see that sweep again.. That 2nd down play should have been play action. The Dolphins are biting on the run.

 

[A Casual Fitz]

Woo, Buffalo can't lose this week!

Exactly. It's pretty much a win.
