<font color=goldenrod>lol the Cardinals look pitiful.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

This game started off so fucking promising. Rams drive down the field in like four plays... Cards answer with a nice, slow, methodical drive... then... nothing.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Nothing except the Rams defense beating the shit out of some poor Arizona players

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I don't know Kevin Kolb. I don't have any reason to hate Kevin Kolb. But I don't like his face. So it was funny to me seeing him get roughed up.

[#1-norm-fan]

His face looks like that of a douchebag wearing his hat backwards and drinking bud light while performing a weird handshake with his dickhead friends.

[#1-norm-fan]

... Who's also possibly in a shitty band.

[Nark Order]

Cards were pretty underwhelming. The NFC West is much more competitive than I think anybody thought this year though. The niners do not have a free pass to the playoffs at all.

[#1-norm-fan]

It seems like everyone was picking either the Cardinals or Seahawks to actually compete this year. I don't think anyone thought that both of them AND the Rams would be this competitive though.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

hate Ray Lewis but the commercial with him and the little black girl is pretty adorbs

[Emperor Smeat]

It seems like everyone was picking either the Cardinals or Seahawks to actually compete this year. I don't think anyone thought that both of them AND the Rams would be this competitive though.

Yeah the Rams have been a big surprise so far compared to last year where they were really horrible on offense for scoring. Ended up being one of the worst all-time in NFL history.

Already up to having half the points they scored all of last year in just 5 games so far.

[The Fraze]

Tonight's game wasn't an indication that the 49ers are in trouble. I feel like both teams tonight will get steam rolled when they play SF. Anything could happen, but whatever. Busting through an atrocious offensive line and holding a team with no running game to 3 points isn't that impressive.

[The Fraze]

You might say then, that the Niners beating a team last week who's quarterback has the lowest completion percentage isn't that impressive either, but we straight up destroyed them. Oh well.

[owenbrown]

So have SammyG and Droford declared a Rams-Ravens Super Bowl yet? :wtf:

[#1-norm-fan]

I can't see SF steamrolling either team on the road. In fact I can see them losing two in the division.

[#1-norm-fan]

Maybe 3

[The Fraze]

I can't see SF steamrolling either team on the road. In fact I can see them losing two in the division.

This must be a reflection of us beating the Packers and the Jets on the road, clearly.

[Team Sheep]

Rams don't get much luck with injuries. Feel sorry for them. :(

[Nark Order]

I don't think that the Niners will lose 3 in their division. They'll most likely lose about 3 or 4 the entire season.

Quit underselling my team, Cowboys fan!

[Ermaximus]

Jets fans want Tebow. LOL!

[#1-norm-fan]

This must be a reflection of us beating the Packers and the Jets on the road, clearly.

Or losing to a good defense in Minnesota on the road by 2 scores.

Coupled with losing to Arizona on the road regularly.

Not exactly pulling this prediction from nowhere...

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't think that the Niners will lose 3 in their division. They'll most likely lose about 3 or 4 the entire season.

Quit underselling my team, Cowboys fan!

Maybe 3.

I'd say 2 though. The division was shit last year and they lost to Arizona and cut it close with the others. The division is much better this year.

[SammyG]

Big win for STL, but of course Amendola has to get hurt and possibly be out for the year. Completely ruined our (yes,our) offense last year, this sucks. Feels pretty kewl to be above. 500.

[SammyG]

Also lol @ 9 sacks. Long and Quinn are beasts. Love our secondary, too, Jenkins is a beast rookie.

[SammyG]

DA is out 6-7 weeks. Thank God, coulda been season ending.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>A full day before the game and the Giants' inactive list seems to already be set: Nicks, Barden, Bernard, Phillips, and Hosley are all out. Diehl and Rivers are doubtful, which in Coughlin terms normally means out as well. So there's all 7. There's like 10 guys listed as questionable but they have to play pretty much out of necessity.

Injuries aside the Giants are much better than the Browns and SHOULD win pretty handily...but we all know they they won't. If they win, it will be way closer than it has any right to be. It's not the Giant way to blow out an inferior team at home.</font>

[Team Sheep]

I remember Giants/Browns back in 2008 when the Giants were red hot. Bit of a shocker. Would be very Giant-like to overlook them again and lose and then beat the 49ers away next week. Not that I think that will happen however.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ahhh 2008. Really looked like the Giants were gonna go 15-1 and return to the Super Bowl to face the Steelers. Plax shooting himself absolutely tanked that season.</font>

[RP]

I hope we play like Gods for Chuck today!

[Evil Vito]

Fuck's sake Giants. Why must you always make it so hard on yourselves against shit teams?

[Evil Vito]

Man this Giants D is garbage. No other way around it.

[Innovator]

Fuck this team

[Innovator]

Especially the D.

[Innovator]

Can a receiver get a little separation?

[Innovator]

Can someone find the pass rush and bring them to Metlife? Please?

[Innovator]

THE D MADE A PLAY!!!!!!!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

Browns suck almost as bad as the Bucs did once they had a nice lead against the Giants.

[Innovator]

Much better. Cruz Control.

[OssMan]

Man this Giants D is garbage. No other way around it.

Fuck this team
fuck you

[Innovator]

Love you.

[Innovator]

Richardson is a beast, Giants haven't been able to wrap him up on the first hit yet.

[owenbrown]

No one cares about 60 Minutes promos.

[RoXer]

Hey owenbrown, there are actually some really good segments on 60 Minutes most of the time

[Evil Vito]

Love Cruz so much.

Wheedon, two passes, one play.

[Innovator]

Giants going for the rare home cover.

Would you care if 60 minutes did a story on the negative results of bumping threads on internet forums?

[owenbrown]

no

[OssMan]

Love 60 Minutes

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Pats D already causing a turnover. They've been a lot better doing this than last year.


Packers-Colts game has been amazing near the end although a big concern for the Packers in how poor they've been in the second half.

[Ermaximus]

Ohhh hell yes.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Can't say I expected to see Bradshaw throwing up 200 yards today. Awesome. Fair play to the Browns too, Richardson is legit.

Hopefully Hakeem the Dream will be back next week. Gonna need all hands on deck against the Niners.</font>

[Crimson]

This year in particular if you drafted a QB in the 1st round..chances are you coulda been better off if you waited..thank you Andrew Luck

[owenbrown]

so what's the over/under on when RP spams the forum after the Colts win?

[Razzamajazz]

poor titans

[Ermaximus]

Blaine is working this Bears defense. Love it!

[Emperor Smeat]

McCourty might be the dumbest player on the Pats team considering all the PI flags and calls that go against him almost every game.

[Ermaximus]

Damnit.

[RP]

So fucking happy right now. I dont even know what to do.

[RP]

so what's the over/under on when RP spams the forum after the Colts win?

i've matured owen.

( maybe later tonight )

[ClockShot]

C'Mon Denver!

[Emperor Smeat]

5 yards away from another 100 yard rushing game for the Pats. Probably have to go back to when they had Corey Dillion to find the rushing game being this good.

Scratch that, they hit a 100 and its still just the 1st half.

[owenbrown]

i've matured owen.

( maybe later tonight )

:lol:

[owenbrown]

poor titans

they suck. The End.

[Requiem]

FUCKING ANDREW FUCKING LUCK

[Requiem]

Had high hopes about this game even before hand, with Green Bay's mediocre defense this year and the Colts coming off a bye week. Didn't think that second half comeback was going to happen though. REAL FUCKING DEAL.

[Gonzo]

Really glad the Giants turned it around today. It was raining and it would have been miserable had they not turned it around.

Also, I walked right by Amani Toomer on the concourse. I did a double take because I didn't expect someone like him to be walking around like that (it was at halftime.) I turned to see if anyone else recognized him but it didn't seem anyone was paying attention.

[owenbrown]

Hey New England, if you are gonna go for it on 4th down when you are up 3 scores make sure your O-line protects your QB

[#1-norm-fan]

Apparently Willis McGahee doesn't wanna win.

[owenbrown]

Has Hanso disowned the Toronto Bills yet?

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Pats win and what a beast their rushing game has become with the back to back 200+ yard games.

[Droford]

I'm glad I didn't get to watch (had to listen on the radio) the abomination of a game the Ravens played in KC..

[Team Sheep]

Kansas City strikes me as one of those places you just look to get the win any way possible and get the hell out of there. Very tough place to win no matter what their record says. I'd be pleased. And besides when you know you're a good team and can play shit on the road in a hostile place and still win then who cares.

Don't know why I'm attempting to reason with Droford...

[OssMan]

The Colts win and Requiem appears!

[Nark Order]

Jesus Christ. Niners. I don't even. I know it was only the Bills but damn.

[RoXer]

Alright. Football night. Here I am.

[RoXer]

Cards don't play today cause they lost to the Rams

[ClockShot]

Should have kept Mike Nolan. He's making the Atlanta defense and force to be reckoned with.

Fix the defense, Del Rio. Or your time in Denver is gonna be short.

[RoXer]

Handsome Jack. Wears a mask. He's the bad guy in town.
Equip a caustic gun they bring the robots down.

[RoXer]

Johnny Ute's record bout to go down

Ready to mark out for Tebow Time Round 3

[Team Sheep]

Damn, squandered 2 golden red zone opportunities. Terrible to go from best to last in red zone offence over a Summer. Jets need Plax back. Never expected to come close to a win though so I was impressed with the character after last week's horror show. Season isn't dead just yet...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Losing to an undefeated team shouldn't cost him his starting job. I don't think Tebow Time is coming yet.

[OssMan]

QB RATING OF THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAST

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/181mrtojfoq5ypng/original.png

[James Steele]

I fucking hate Mark Sanchez.

[#1-norm-fan]

Tim Tebow's tweet before last night's game...

And now Sanchez has a 66.6 QB Rating? WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW!?!?!

[#1-norm-fan]

Sanchez also has 6 TDs, 6 INTs, 6.6 yards per pass and a long of... wait for it... 66 yards.

[#1-norm-fan]

@TimTebow Mark Sanchez has a 66.6 QB rating after last night's game (The 666th MNF game). Has he gone through the proper exorcism process?

[SammyG]

I am very happy that the Rams do not suck anymore

[#1-norm-fan]

Which brings us to...

[Innovator]

So this is how humanity shall be decided. The war for the starting QB position for the NY Jets.

You do realize that it's a formula, not an opinion, right?

[Droford]

The ravens have never lost to teams from Texas and the next two weeks are Dallas and Houston..

The Houston game might be the last game the ravens are dogs the whole year.

[Ermaximus]

As TPWW's ONLY Jaguar fan, I'll take their placement with a glad heart, and an upset stomach after having to have watched them get prison raped by the Bears during that half game Sunday.

[Team Sheep]

Driving home from uni today and Josh Scobee was on the radio. Said he's going to be kicking penalties at Wembley during half time of England vs San Marino this Friday night. Awesome...

Troy Aikman: Cowboys fans go to games 'to be seen'

"I've always said Dallas isn't so much a sports town as it is a winner's town," Aikman told KTCK-AM, via The Dallas Morning News. "And that's not that unique. Most towns are like that. There are very few towns like Chicago where you can go out there and go 4-12 and they're (still) selling out stadiums. That's pretty unique. But Dallas, they pull for their winners."

"I don't think Dallas has ever really had a great home-field advantage," he said. "... I think for a large part -- and the fans don't want to hear this -- a lot of the people that attend sports in this town, they're there because it's kind of just a place to be seen. I didn't know anybody who went to Rangers games, and then when they started winning and going to World Series, everybody's wearing Rangers hats and saying, 'Oh yeah, I'm a big Rangers fan.' "

[James Steele]

It's true. Most of your hardcore cowboys fans live throughout the state and can't afford to go to an actual game. There is a large number of Steelers fans in my part of the state, but I don't know how much of that is just a result of people going "Fuck the Cowboys. They hate Pittsburgh so I'll root for Pittsburgh."

[#1-norm-fan]

It's weird that they choose Pittsburgh. I understand that there's the whole rivalry stemming from the 70's but if you're rooting for a team just to say "Fuck the Cowboys" why wouldn't you go with Philly, NY or Washington. Even see San Francisco seems more anti-Cowboys.

I guess because Pittsburgh is better than those teams traditionally barring San Fran.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It's probably due to most of the people in your part of the state being huge faggots.

[Innovator]

BTW, until Sunday night, we're blood enemies.

[Kris P Lettus]

Saints will be 12-4 going into January..

:shifty:

[Nark Order]

I just don't want to give up another win so soon mainly because of the Cardinals fans in my area. They've been getting retardedly annoying as of late.

Also, I want to beat the Giants so we can all see that weird bewildered egghead look that Eli Manning gets when he loses. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before in life.

[Nark Order]

It's gonna be incredible when Eli Manning is inducted into the hall of fame after winning like 6 Super Bowls and his social worker comes out and reveals that he's autistic.

[Skippord]

would that be like a social worker heel turn?

[SammyG]

Why is every expert picking Miami over the Rams on Sunday....

[Team Sheep]

Because the Rams are quite crap away from home and Miami have looked good the last 2 weeks.

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah Tannehill for Miami has been good these last few weeks. Also helps Miami's defense has gotten better as well.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They've only beaten the Bungals and the Raidurz. Let's see what happens when they face some real* competition.

*Not the Rams.

[Ermaximus]

At least my team can't lose this week....

[Corndad]

Ike Taylor is all kinds of terrible. 2 last second FG losses to teams never should have lost to. Season Killers.

I'm not talking junk on the Giants. Eli Manning just looks like a doofus. It's more hilarious when he's victorious. I hope he wins like 10 Super Bowls.

I didn't even pay any attention to the Steelers losing because of baseball..really rooting for the browns to prove me right and beat the bengals so the ravens can have a stranglehold on the division already..

Meh he's turned on New England sports a bunch of times already. Probably gets booed by Jets fans regardless.

Two instances off the top of my head is him supported the Rays against the Red Sox in the 2009 ALCS and him wearing the Lakers jersey anytime he's in LA even though he's a supposed Celtics fan.

Naw. Might be today. Pumped to have a goal line and 3rd down smash back. 49ers are pretty deep now and it makes me smile.

Alright. Football's back. Back in town.
9ers and Giants in a big showdown.
I like to rip big ones when nobodys around.

Giants and 9ers wear red, white, and blue.
Ironically football bleeds red, white, and blue.
I heard you like football. Hey I do too!

Wow some of these calls on Dallas TICKYTACK.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Buck is calling the 49ers AND SF Giants games today. So the SF sports fans have to deal with him for a full 6 hours. My condolences.</font>

[CSL]

ha that Harry Douglas catch was great

[McLegend]

Man Matthew Stafford is really bad.

[Emperor Smeat]

Something has to be wrong with Stafford for him to be this bad compared to last year although then again Detroit hasn't had as many lucky chances so far like they had last year.

[CSL]

lol <strike>Garo</strike> Koenen Passes

[Crimson]

lol amazing these ticky tack holding calls. I didn't know it was holding when you push a d-lineman down on the ground

[#1-norm-fan]

So glad Droford failed to produce enough pre-game stats for Baltimore to ACTUALLY win this game. Good win Dallas.

[screech]

Defense got carved like a turkey, but somehow came out with the win. I will take it.

[Droford]

Ravens have pretty much sewed up the arc north I think..

[screech]

Worried about this defense though. Never thought I'd say that about the Ravens.

[screech]

Ravens have pretty much sewed up the arc north I think..

Won't win any playoff games playing like today, though.

[Droford]

Won't win any playoff games playing like today, though.

The offense is good enough to win games. Plus suggs will be back probably week 9 after the bye and that should bolster the defense.

[#1-norm-fan]

So Detroit is down by 3 with 13 seconds left from the Philly 1 yard line. They try two passes to the end zone to get the TD.

My question is... why wouldn't you just basically rape the receivers? The clock can't be reset because of a penalty or anything and the penalty yardage does nothing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Eagles really need to fix their turnover problems especially Vick since right now he's literally averaging 1 INT for every TD thrown so far.

Wouldn't work since the final play can't end on a penalty from the defense I think.

Game can't end on a defensive penalty

[#1-norm-fan]

You're not trying to end the game in that situation though. They're preventing a TD. And since Detroit is down by 3, the only thing they can do is try a couple quick shots to the end zone and then take the 3. So why not just be all over the WRs, let the time for the plays run off the clock and then make them kick the FG?

[Emperor Smeat]

I think they might have changed the rules about doing something like that after the previous Super Bowl where the Giants were able to run off some time from a penalty on the last Pats drive.

Although problem with that is the Lions could always fake into a rush and get the TD since they'd be stupid to decline the penalty. It has to be a fake into a rush or else the Eagles are prepared and wouldn't purposely get a flag thrown.

If they're already at the 1 though, they could rush it anyway. With no timeouts, it would be a dumb move down by three but taking the penalty to make sure they don't get the touchdown still works.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Chandler Jones. Such a good pick in the draft he's been so far since he's been slowly fixing their pass rush problems from last year.

[Evil Vito]

Cruz :love:

[McLegend]

Horrible horrible horrible

[Nark Order]

Shut up, vito. Jerk.

[owenbrown]

No offense to Giants fans but every time Cruz does that damn salsa dance after a TD he should be flagged and they should have to kickoff from their own 1 yard line

[Innovator]

Crawl in a hole and die, owenbrown

[Innovator]

I'm sorry. Don't die.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ugh, hate how easy the offense just abandons the run game to the point Brady is getting a bit tired of throwing all the time today. Weird thing is the Pats are up by 10 and the defense had kept stopping Seattle's O from doing anything.


Also knew I should have taken the Giants for this week's Pick'em pick but didn't expect the 49ers to be struggling this badly. Thought the 49ers would be a lot more motivated and tougher to get revenge over what happened last time they met in a game.

looks like the vikings are back to their normal ways

[screech]

No offense to Giants fans but every time Cruz does that damn salsa dance after a TD he should be flagged and they should have to kickoff from their own 1 yard line

Whaaat? Love that salsa dance and I'm not even a Giants fan.

You hate someone honoring their dead grandmother, who raised them?

[Razzamajazz]

rg3? lolwut

[#1-norm-fan]

Damn, Seahawks. You scary.

[Evil Vito]

Just straight up domination across the board from Big Blue today.

[owenbrown]

You hate someone honoring their dead grandmother, who raised them?

Well I didn't know that, so I am sorry. But, next time they play on NBC the peacock network should never pipe in that music ever again.

[Nark Order]

Well, fuck. Innovator is a superior man in comparison to myself.

[Team Sheep]

Nice one Seattle! Jets at Patriots next week. Should be worried as the Patriots probably have the best "bounce back ability" in the league. But after finally seeing a run game from the Jets today and all the pressure being on the Pats, I can't wait to see how it plays out.

[Team Sheep]

Brady is always a man possessed after a sickening loss though...

[Emperor Smeat]

Josh McDaniels was a moron with the play selection in the 4th and ended up killing the Pats. No clue what he was thinking with all those passing plays besides being stubborn as hell when he has 2 good RBs to help milk the clock.

[SammyG]

Greg the Leg :(

[Droford]

Was kinda hoping the Texans would stay undefeated til next week..

[OssMan]

Dude RGThird holy shit

[Nark Order]

At least Cleveland took the Bengals to Brown Town. :(

[Innovator]

Well, fuck. Innovator is a superior man in comparison to myself.

First step is acceptance. Love you.

[#1-norm-fan]

The Texans defense doesn't wanna get off the field.

[Droford]

Ray Lewis out for the season with a turn tricep. Ladarius Webb out with a torn acl. Haloti ngata out for a while with a sprained knee.

Holy fuck

[screech]

:(

[Gonzo]

Pretty impressed with the offensive line play by the Giants today. It appears they've put it together a little bit.

[Droford]

Lot of people are suggesting the ravens go after ej Henderson or Sean merriman..both went to MD for what its worth..Im pretty sure they've got to do something. Not sure wat either of them have left...

[Corndad]

Whoever has Aaron Rodgers in Fantasy is winning their game this week. Jesus.

[screech]

Ridiculous.

[#1-norm-fan]

Houston has their backup QB in down by 3 scores with 5 minutes left.

Now... I know the chances of a comeback are SLIM. It's not impossible or even unprecedented though. It amazes me how quick teams give up sometimes. One quick score and you're down by a TD and a FG with 4 minutes left. Not the time to fold. Ridiculous.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How does a Seahawk push off a Patriots defender and then get Defensive Pass interference?

[SammyG]

I'm so glad the Rams play GB next week.

[ClockShot]

Ray Lewis is out for the season with torn triceps.

Wow. Suggs and Lewis out. Baltimore's defense is in a world of trouble right now.

[screech]

The way the defense got carved like a turkey yesterday has me worried for the rest of the year.

[screech]

Wanted to get that in before Droford starts dropping ridiculous stats up in here.

[#1-norm-fan]

It's not like they were doing very well with Lewis in there. Can't be much worse.

[Emperor Smeat]

Could be Flaco's best chance to really prove he's worthy of top or elite status as a QB without the argument that the Defense is the reason for the team's real success.

Although if he struggles, probably puts away any hope of him being seen as a truly elite/top QB unless he wins a ring in the public's eye. On paper the second half of the schedule has a lot of potentially tough defenses to go against him.

[Evil Vito]

Love him or hate him, that's a shitty way for Ray Lewis to end his career.

[screech]

It's not like they were doing very well with Lewis in there. Can't be much worse.

At least with him in, there was a glimmer of hope that the D could shut down any team. Feel like that is gone now :(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Madden Curse for Ray Lewis. He had that stupid speech at the loading screen. Megatron isn't doing that good this year either yet.

[Droford]

Texans, Browns, raiders, steelers, twice, chargers and redskins between now and week 14...hardly a stretch thats very worrisome. Denver's and nyg at home wks 15 and 16 might be tough..

[#1-norm-fan]

The Chargers are the best team I have ever seen that don't seem remotely threatening.

[screech]

Most of those teams have good offenses, which is worrisome given the state of the defense right now.

[screech]

And I'm never nervous about Ravens games.

Someone at Buffalo Wild Wings pressed the button on that one

[FearedSanctity]

Love you too, Roxer

[Skippord]

I miss Tim Tebow :'(

[DaveBrawl]

I miss the Chargers being 1-15.

[DaveBrawl]

How does Willis have 7 rushes for 5 yards with his longest rush being 5 yards?

Seems unbelievable that he could have 6 rushes for 0 yards.

[#1-norm-fan]

I miss Tim Tebow :'(

No you don't.

[DaveBrawl]

Chris Harris may be the greatest man that ever lived.

[screech]

He's a real wildcat

I bet he smells "Churchy".

Just realized Tim Tebow works on Sundays. What the h, Tebow?!

[Skippord]

I bet he goes to church right before and right after the game

and probably at halftime

I am displeased because they should easily be 0-6 instead of 2-4 right now. No excuses for the Lions (44-41 OT, week 3)and the Steelers (26-23 this past Thursday) to have lost those games

STAT OF THE DAY: There are only 2 teams in the AFC with a winning record, compared to 7 in the NFC

[Team Sheep]

I'm struggling to think of any dead certs for a wild card spot in the AFC. December's gonna be crazy. Could be a couple of 8-8 teams taking them.

[Mister Sinister]

Sad to think Miami could be 5-1 right now going into the Bye
