NFL Week 12

#3
THIS IS LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was planning on going to the game Monday night. If Favre is out, I am not going. Good thing I did not buy my tickets yet.

Week 12 prediction......Pittsburgh continues the road trip with a visit to play the Ratbirds. Big Ben and Willie Parker will find a way to keep our playoff hopes alive for another week. Steelers pull out a close one. Tim....Eric....you guys agree?

Here's hoping that you nail it! Pittsburgh is (statistically) still one of the best teams in the league in so many categories, but the ultimate example of how costly turnovers can be! Take the fumbles and quirky tipped ball interceptions out of the mix this season and the Steelers would be sitting on what, maybe 2 losses right now?

I'm with you on this one. The Ravens are going to get exposed eventually, and I've gotta believe that Pittsburgh is going to be able to do it. Seriously, though...when's the last time you've seen a team riding a streak of luck like the Ratbirds are currently on? The 2001 Bears maybe? Let's put an end to this nonsense.

One thing is for sure though...they need a way better effort than they put up against the Browns. No turnovers, please, guys!

Man I'd LOVE to agree... But Baltimore is riding high now. On Pittsburgh's site, Roethlisberger earned the "game ball" by popular vote. I mean, come on... Sure, he got it together in the second half, but 3 quick picks in the first half? He wouldn't have needed to play "come from behind" in the second half if he didn't screw up in the first. One of those picks wasn't his fault. The other 2 were on his shoulders. He continues to make really bad decisions and/or bad throws... Then he'll make some great decisions and needle-threading throws. He's the most inconsistent QB in the league right now.

That being said, mimaz nailed it. They are probably the worst good team out there right now. If they can hold on to the ball, they have a really good shot of beating the Ravens, or anyone else, for that matter. Unfortunately, against the Ravens, they've gotta do it twice! :(

Tim said it well. The Ravens are a good team, but they ARE due to get exposed. I'm prayin' Pittsburgh plays the role of exposer! :D

Either way, I'll be glued to the TV playin' the role of a homer! :smug:

That last bit makes it hurt.

In the last two minutes when Jake had the chance to change the game, I was thinking about how Elway would be exploding down the field. I still like the idiot, but i really think he needs his beard back .

Denver 24 , KC 10. Trent Green gets smacked real hard in the first half and keeps happy feet the rest of the game.

Sweet, thanks for the update. I was just fixin' to post in here to you Packer fans if any of you had further info on Favre.

Not that I doubt you, but I am going to wait a couple more days to get my tickets. I'm looking at dropping $200+ per ticket, so I want to make sure Favre is playing. I'm certainly not going to pay that much to watch that lame Seahawk defense, or Shaun "I've got my money, now my foot hurts" Alexander. :D

ead Coach Mike McCarthy relayed good news and bad news with regards to the Packers' quarterbacks on Monday.

Brett Favre appears to be OK after suffering an elbow injury in the second quarter Sunday that sidelined him for the rest of the game. McCarthy said Favre was getting the strength back in his hand and wasn't concerned about the injury. He will be evaluated further on Wednesday.

But unfortunately for backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers, his first extended action in 2006 turned out to be his last this season. Rodgers broke his foot during Sunday's game against New England and is out for the season.

Rodgers came into Sunday's game late in the second quarter in relief of Favre and finished the contest. He completed four of 12 passes for 32 yards. He also rushed for 11 yards, was sacked three times and lost a fumble. McCarthy said he didn't know for sure but suspected Rodgers injured the foot on one of his scrambles and played the rest of the game with the injury.

Rodgers was the Packers' first-round draft choice in 2005, and he played extensively in just one game last year. At Baltimore on Dec. 19, Rodgers completed eight of 15 passes for 65 yards with one interception.

From Packers.com. If anything, I hope this ends all the "lets see what Aaron Rodgers can do" talk. He was HORRIBLE. He was innacurate, and on his sacks, he just stood there and allowed himself to be sacked. Of course, he did get put in a difficult situation, and Favre was also having a horrible game prior to his injury, but I really don't think Rodgers is Favre's successor.

On the other hand, the Packers are in REAL big trouble at QB. If Favre ever has to go out again, the only other QB on the roster, is rookie, Ingle Martin, who definitely was getting "poor" reports from training camp and practice. They are going to need to sign a veteran backup ASAP, but obviously, if New England just signed 77 year old Testaverde, there is NO ONE out there right now.

Makes me wonder why they got rid of Craig Nall. He didn't look too bad, and he was cheap to keep as a 3rd stringer.

Well lets see here:

The Beloved vs the Pats.

This is one game that at the beginning of the season I had
the Bears losing:eek:
I still believe that they will NOT win this game.:hiding:
If they do win it'll be on account of the D scoring at least 1
time.
9 and 2 still looks Very good to me.
