That Falcons/Broncos game will be interesting as I think we are looking at another mirage start for the Falcons.

I think they were 6-0 and still missed the playoffs last year.

LOL.

And sorry for the delay in posting the thread. Lost track of time this week.

Go Cards tonight!!

For starting so slow this game is turning into something of a shootout.

 

[Retro Rob]

Yeah, this game looked like a snooze fest initially.

Can't believe how Dallas is killing Cincy.

 

[zinfamous]

been looking for this thread all day. Damn, either this is a reflection of the forum loosing traffic, the geenrally low ratings for the NFL this year...or both.

Anyway: holy crap Cincy.

The Denver result is not much further behind.

Denver just made a touchdown. Not that it matters.

 

[SunnyD]

Buffalo with the win. Wut?

 

[Svnla]

New season and same ole sucky Fins. Defense can't stop anyone and offense can't score much. No wonder they are 1-4 (should have been 0-5 if Browns had a decent kicker).

Freaky: If the season were over today, the Oakland Raiders would be the AFC West champs!

I think the Raiders are going to win a lot more games than people expect this year.

Way to go Bills.

Hey, Saints didn't lose this week. Good times.

Oh for Oh isn't the worst place to be in one week's time.

Yesterday at the Ravens/Redskins games I was told by a Ravens fan how I am allowed to cheer. It was amusing.

 

[BarkingGhostar]

So, football has officially started. Fear Darth Brady.

 

[KMFJD]

Lions where great in the 1st half and stunk it up in the second but managed to hang on thanks to a forced fumble and an interception by Darius Slay at the end.

Does anyone know of any youtubers that do NFL slowlights like this guy does for the Lions?

Darth Brady vs. the turds was never going to be a contest. I call them the turds because they're brown(s) and they stink!

boooo rams

at home too

I was flipping to the NE/Cleveland game between commercials and I lol'ed at the comment by the announcers. Something along the lines of it's not a good thing to have Browns QB as part of your resume right now. I'm convinced that if the Browns had drafted Carson Wentz, he'd be throwing double digit INT's right about now.

 

[zinfamous]

Is there a thread for this week?

anyway, is this the same Philly team from the first couple of weeks that destroyed a very good Pittsburgh team? I think Was has been playing better and better each week, and the defense is playing really well today, but damn the Eagles can't get much going.

One flubbed special teams play and a bad INT from Cousins (granted--that was great D from Phllly) is the only thing keeping them in this game. Redskins are running all over them--and two dropped passes from Skins would have them 1-2 TDs further ahead.

Wentz hasn't looked bad, Skins have just stuffed all of his options (and kept him off the field by running the ball).

Biggest upset so far is the Dolphins 23/8 AT Pittsburgh, who saw THIS score coming, also Bills playing another superb offensive game @sf 38/16

 

[RaistlinZ]

Wow, Darren Sproles just passed Barry Sanders for 8th all-time in All Purpose Yards in NFL history!

yep. Rofflsburger went out in the 2nd QTR, though.
