Green Bay has been playing REALLY good.. Rodgers has been almost machine-like so far. I think they've got the best recieving corps in the NFL. Should be another exciting one tho!

I don't know what game you were watching but Rodgers sucked after the first quarter of the Lions game. Hell, he got lucky Woodson didn't take his first inteception back or else Kitna would have thrown just as many touchdown passes to Green Bay as he did. He got damn lucky the Green Bay defense stepped up and got him out of the 25-24. Rodgers had nothing to do with that win and the Green Bay defense and special teams had everything to do with it. It's easy to score touchdowns when you start the first two offensive series within the twenty, well unless you're the Lions, you could give to them on the goal line and they'd still have to punt on fourth down. :shrug:

Bump...just because it got lost in the MNF discussion.

Wow! What a week for football. Here's my take on the Broncos game, although this time I must say that I was watching the game at the sports bar with other Bronco fans and for some reason the game didn't get recorded, so I couldn't go back and watch the game again and I'm going off memory...take it for what its worth.

- Still extremely impressed with Cutler. Horrible decision with the red zone interception but beyond that he still played excellent. The first TD to Scheffler was a great pass threaded on a needle in a confined area with defensive players everywhere. The last TD and 2pt conversion were also excellent passes.

- Would like to see more of a running game, but Selvin Young showed alot of good moves again and may retake the starting job. Andre Hall will probably be serviceable and Pittman is a good short yardage and receiving option, but I'd like to see an improvement.

- Extremely glad to have Brandon Marshall back. He made Cromartie (aka Deltha O'Neal 2.0) look like an bozo. Also this is the 2nd week in a row where players have committed personal fouls against our players seemingly out of frustration.

- O-line played great again. Obviously SD has a much stronger defense than Oak does, but Cutler was still pretty much unpressured during the game.

- I'm worried about the defense. We dominated a poor Oak team and then had trouble against SD's good offense, so I think we're probably middle of the pack. We do need a legit MLB and our youngsters on the D-line need to step it up. Obviously we are going back to the Super Bowl days where we relied on a powerful offense to get a quick lead and then let our defense attack, but we just don't have enough talent on defense yet.

So I think we've established ourselves as the team to beat in the AFC West since we now beat the Chargers and the Raiders and Chiefs suck. Our offense is going to be great this year, now we just need the D to step up and start making more stops.

Exactly. Rodgers has been very efficient and it seems to me that the whole Green Bay team is playing on the same level on both sides of the ball so far. Very impressive!

It was exciting but the game was littered by boneheaded and bad plays by each side. It's all up to the Giants now to beat the Cows again.

Go G-Men! :nice:

At the beginning of the season I thought i'd be cheering for Dallas against the Giants, but not anymore.. after all of the disrespect Dallas fans have shown towards Tom Brady/his injury, I have no respect for them. At least Giants fans and other teams fans are acting like normal human beings about it.

I hope the G-men do what they did to them last year in the playoffs.. STOMP THEM OUT! :D

(This doesn't make me a Giants fan, just a very strong cowboys-hater) lol

I strongly dislike everything about the Cows. Naturally I hate the Eagles and Skins also but last night I was rooting for them Eagles. McNabb & Co. showed the world why they have never won a Superbowl and never will. The reason? They just can't do it.

I agree. I thought their playcalling and decision-making was a bit off in that last drive. They had more than enough time and enough talent, Dallas' defense was worn out.. but they just couldn't do it, like you said. :nonono:

While watching a show on NFL Network, it got me thinking...

What two teams would you like to see play in the Superbowl and who would you like to see win it? Not including your favorite team.

For me, i'd like to see the Bills beat the Cows. A rematch of the early 90's, but with the Bills getting theirs this time around. :shrug:

No I dont think Green Bay will be able to beat Dallas Next week. They let the frigging lions come back on them, give me a break



As far as who Id like to see besides my favorite team Id have to say Philly VS Buffalo. I cant pull that much for the steelers and I cant stand Jerry Jones and his team of criminals so they are out. I like shanahan but the bronco's can suck my cawk and Indy has had their chances as of late.

I can't stand Dallas, that's why i'd like to see them lose the Superbowl to the "lowly" Bills :D

There are only a few teams I strongly dislike. Naturally I do not like the NFC East except for my Giants. Philly has 99% lowlife fans. Skin fans are 100% homers and fools. Cowpuke fans are dimwitted, most likely to be tricked easily by someone like Obama. (There's my political dig for today. :) ).

Like Redline said, I think Dallas is going to wail the Packers. The Giants had more trouble with Dallass than they did with Green Bay. Packers are a likeable bunch but the Cows are loaded with injury-free players and no one can get near Romo.

Not to be a homer but I think the only NFC team that may be able to knock the Cows off is the Giants...if they can get pressure on Romo. Spags is a great DC but it's the guys on the line where it all counts. November 2nd will be a showdown vs. Jerrah Jones' criminals and the lunch pail one pro-bowler Giants. Who will win? I dunno but we are going to find out.
