Not negative just real. Also, yeah the Texans are good but you're awfully cocky for someone who's team was the AFC South's whipping boy for years and years.

Quote ONE cocky post. Just one. I'll wait. You can have until the next time Tennessee loses.

I need to see if I can find it again but I remember seeing in several places people saying that the Chargers didn't stand a chance in this game. Not looking quite that way currently.

Ravens lost Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb for the season.

... sh*t.

If the Ravens didn't have an elite QB they'd be in a bit of trouble.

They have an elite QB? maybe if he was playing for the Lions. Thats the BC Lions.

LOL who just saw Manning with that hilarious snicker on his face after he hurdled the guy and threw a duck.

lawl...I was happy to see that.

Denver Defense is really trying to win this thing.

I don't know why, but Rivers annoys the crap out of me.

Maybe because all I hear is how he's this great quarterback, and every time I see him play, he EDIT: just sucks.

EDIT2: And has a funny face.

Rivers is a douche. I don't think there's a better word for it.

Yeah I saw the report 3 times on ESPN today: SportsCenter, NFL Live, and NFL Countdown... where they said "most QBs say it's my team vs their team, not me vs him. But not Rivers. He says it's him vs Manning and he loves the challenge."

Kind of cocky, disrespectful to the rest of your own team, and well.... douchey?

Might have to look into some first coach fired props....

How long can Norv last.

edit: wow that was a replacement ref level call on the Offensive PI...

That should have been a touchdown.

Gruden should just go ahead and put Peyton's penis on his mouth. Just get it over with bro.

OH GAWD LOOK GUYZ ITZ THA SHERRIFFFF!!! ARGDGSGhHHHH

It's therapy. He's having flashbacks to that game.

So.. 2 defensive TDs, and a couple more turnovers. When are the pundits going to say that Manning can't play and that his defense is winning all the games for him?

I mean that's what they said about Tebow... same team...

Stele: He outscored his defense, though.

Tebow... really didn't.

Denver Defense is on fire. 6 turnovers...two for tds. Only given up 18 points. four sacks. All without three starters (Warren, Porter, Williams)

As a Bucs fan who had to endure that godawful MNF comeback in 2003 vs. Indy and Peyton, I feel like somehow my curse has been passed on to San Diego.

Are we sure that was actually one football game and not two time-displace games jumbled together pretending to be separate halves? What the hell?

The rest of the league can stop LOL about our Offensive Line coach masquerading as a Defensive Coordinator.. until you realize that we still have the Head Coach that hired him to do it.

Well, that should help stop Vick's fumbling problem.

It's not like the Eagles' defense has been the problem this year.

Kinda messed up of the Lions:

Jahvid Best was never expected to play in 2012 season, and most likely ever again.
According to the article, Best was never expected to be medically cleared from his concussions, but the Lions wanted him to accrue one more NFL season before cutting him, in order to grant him access to the NFL Pension plan.

Sorry to the fantasy owners that paid for him.

Honestly, if that's really the case, that's a really nice move by the Lions. They're paying the guy an extra year in order to help ensure his future, rather than just cutting him now and washing their hands of it. That's the kind of thing that makes me root for the Lions a bit more.

Gave up a 10 point lead late in the game.. as well as the lead in the Steelers game late in the game.. no pressure on the QB as well as no big turnovers.

Besides.. complaining about the Defense isnt the same as excusing their Offense.

Yeah, you are right. I didn't really look at it that way but I am surprised that they wont use him at all this year.

sigh, that blown offensive interference call on Decker cost me a win in Gold. I now have 80 points more than the next closest team for the season yet am only 3 and 3. Why do the scheduling gods hate me so?

Also, 772.2 points for in keeper league and 772.3 points against with a 3-3 record there... creepy.

Yeah, this was an extremely generous move by the Lions. No other team would have put Best on their roster. Allowing him to accrue his 3rd season of service to get access to the NFL pension plan was a huge gesture. That will help Best for the rest of his life, and considering that he's 23 years old and unable to pass the neurological test to get cleared to play football, he is likely going to need it.

This.

I think we all are biting our finger nails regarding some of the reckless yet exciting play calling and tuck-and-run decisions by the Redskins and RGIII. I don't think anyone believes he is immune to tragedy or injury. So can we give it a rest?

I don't recall this much parade raining when Michael Vick entered the league.

I know we are all more considerate than this but to me the requisite comments after each risky move are approaching the "Lemme go and get some popcorn in anticipation of this can't miss train wreck."

It is much harder to enjoy something exciting when you have people breathing "He's gonna get hurt. And I'm gonna say I told you so." down your neck. Maybe I am getting too sensitive, I don't know.

Well if hes running like Vick he will get hurt.

If hes running like Rodgers, probably the smartest running QB in the league then yea he will be fine.

Guess who has the highest complete percentage in the league right now? Griffin at 70% so he does have that advantage that he doesn't have to run. Not sure if that is accurate to his college %.

Vick? his best season was just under 63%.

Newton gets the same treatment but difference is being at 6'5 245 you expect him to take and deal more punishment.

We don't worry about Tebow cause hes actually a FB.
