I agree with each and every point. They are now saying Rodgers may have a seperated shoulder and be out a few weeks. They BETTER get the running game going with Matt Flynn as our starting QB now.

Shoulda left it right here. But don't blame yourself, even former Redskin great John Riggins was calling for a Cowboys win 30-17. Thankfully, he was wrong. I hope he had a wad on the game.
Oh yes they do!
Indeed. Oh ye of little faith!
(By the way, it's Antwaan 
)It's a happy day in Maryland! Now, however the rest of the season goes, we have a victory over the arch-rival to savor. We'll try it again in November.
Edit: Just saw Costas & co. during halftime of the Bears-Eagles game. They reviewed the Skins-Boys game, and spent almost the whole time talking about Owens.
How about a little more about the team that WON the game, guys? 
& less about the bigmouth!
I'm up too late, really should be sleeping, but this must be done, as it is a ritual:
We're hurting, 8 starters out. Coach got dinged for calling out the zebras (he is right), but is telling the league to stuff it.
Don't matter, no way the 49ers keep up, Saints by double digits, as they take out their frustration for losing a pair they should have won on a team that has no business thinking they can have a winning record after half a season.
Yeah, gotta agree on this one as well, they're just a better team.
UGH, Houston is bad. Jax will beat them like a drum.
Home team.
Atlanta hasn't beat ANYONE. They've run the score up on a pair of lost high school teams and think they're world beaters.
The world will beat them up in Charlotte.
Yet again, yes. Jets are just not able to put anything together, they keep adding 2 and 2 and getting 3 somehow...
UPSET SPECIAL: Minnesota has a very good defense, and they run the ball well.
Man...why even play this one. Of course, Denver is not quite as good as their record shows - one win thanks to an unbelieveable call by a blind zebra, the other on a ball hooking just a bit too far to the left at the last moment. Keep in mind they had an 18 point lead and almost lost the game last week.
Yeah, uh...does anyone even have a doubt?
Buffalo. By lots. Lots of lots.
...blah, blah, blah, blah...man, you really go on about the Cowpokes, don't ya?
...agreed, the 'Skins make it interesting, but they don't have the horses.
I think you're too modest, I'd say more like a 10 point spread.
After watching the Pooh-Bears lose to Carolina and Tampa, I can't pink them to win against the Eagles D. You're picking this way because Philly is a division rival, not because you're thinking straight. Philly by at least 7.
Slug fest.
All Baltimore has is a defense. Pitt's offensive line is....OFFENSIVE....
War of attrition: Does Big Ben's bell get rung too many times to see straight before the rookie throws too many interceptions to make a difference?
...in the end, home team, BARELY.
Hmm, 5 for 12 so far. Not having such a good week
I've been a hardcore Patriots fan my entire life but for some reason (Brett Favre I assume) I almost found myself pulling for the Jets today. I feel a little dirty about it. Was a really fun game to watch though.

Well...I would like to be more accurate on all the games, but the real thing is I picked the two I REALLY cared about right:
The Saints buried the 49ers (the 17 on their side was a "who cares" TD at the end of the game...), and the Falcons lost big.
Oh, and being WRONG about the Cowpokes, that's something I'm actually happy about. It means my two favorite teams won yesterday - the Saints, and whoever is playing DallASS.
Would have been nice if the Packers could have finished off the Yucks, but their time is coming.
Yeah, agreed. That was a vicious (not intentionally!) hit. He definitely was out cold afterward, but so far reports are that he's OK, thankfully.

Last nights game was a little too close for this Bears fan.
When McNabb was driving the birds downfield with 5 minutes left on the clock, I had the same sinking feeling that I had the last two game. When it was 1st and goal, there was this huge knot in my stomach. That knot was slowly loosened as Alex Brown and a sea of Navy and Orange engulfed Corell Buckhalter at the goal line on 4th down. The knot was lossened fully after Forte ran for a 1st down to bleed the clock down to under 30 seconds.
It was a good win, and a tough win. The D played well as team, considering Tommie Harris didn't play, and they were without Charles Tillman for much of the second half.
The D finally finished the game and did it in an inspiring way with a goal-line stand at the end of the game. That's football in all it's guts and glory, right there.
I wasn't happy with the turnovers, but Kyle Orton seems to be maturing. The Philly D is very aggressive, as well as creative in their blitz packages, and Kyle did pretty well for a "game manager". I'm sure there's room for improvement, but I'm savoring this victory as we are tied for first in the NFC. GB has Rodgers out for a while, Minny is showing they are more hype than reality, and the Lions are the Lions. Bears could be sitting at 4-0 if we didn't have the 4th Q collapses the last 2 games. I like where we are sitting with a good D, efficient O, and solid special teams. I think this could be a good season for us, and we definitely have a chance to take the Norris division.
BEAR DOWN CHICAGO BEARS!

I Play Bass therefore I Am
I am still a little peaved about Dallas' performance. The Scab Skins came to play and Dallas seemed to be unprepared. As I posted earlier, Santana Moss is a very elusive WR and he always seems to get open. He served up some Newman Toast yesterday really well.
When Romo threw that interception yesterday all I could do is shake my head, that is at least one interception/turnover in each game.
I wonder how stupid the Refs felt when they showed the two obivious blown calls (Face Mask on Pac-Man and 1 second false start) on the Jumbo screen, for a minute I thought we were playing at the skins stadium. Even as bad announcers Buck and Aikman are, they saw it clearly.
Well, Dallas has: Cincinatti, Arizona and St. Louis before the Bucs and Giants, they best get their heads on straight.
Talk bad about T.O. but nothing was going to stop him from getting into the end zone.

I can't believe there hasn't been more yelling and screaming about this. Philly CLEARLY scored a touchdown at the end.

Which camera angle were you looking at?!?!?
Alex Brown got him in the backfield, and Buckhalter was swarmed immediately for no gain, plain and simple. Buckhalter's arms didn't reach out, as he was wrapped up. The camera view from the top, CLEARLY shows the ball did not get into the endzone. The ball was under his right arm, and that didn't get near the goal line.
I'm completely without bias here (I dislike both teams).... I don't think he crossed the plane.

I'm pretty much right in the same boat, it was close, but it was the right call...the zebras got a rare one correct. However, I was a bit curious as to how it was not reviewed...
All this hullabaloo (I always wanted to use that word!) is irellevant! The *real* game is on tonight!

How about spelling "irrelevant" correctly while using hullabaloo?
...yeah, tonight's game, big contest between how long Big Ben can stay on his feet and how many mistakes the rookie in Baltimore will or won't make...
I wouldn't bet a penny on this one...
DARNIT!!!
That was just too easy!
Gonna be a very interesting game, but not for the reasons we might want it to be...i.e. because we'll be watching to see who is WORSE, not who is BETTER - Pittsburgh's offensive line or the Ravens' QB....
:scowl:
LOL! I'm so used to FF, that when I goober something and don't see a spell-check alert, I just assume it's right without actually using my brain. No FF here at work.That was just too easy!
I *hate* IE! :scowl:
