Sunday 1:00 Buccaneers at Eagles Browns at Bills Steelers at Lions Vikings at Rams Redskins at Panthers Bengals at Ravens Raiders at Giants Cowboys at Chiefs 4:05 Falcons at 49ers 4:15 Texans at Cardinals Jaguars at Seahawks Patriots at Broncos 8:20 Colts at Titans Notes- Don Criqui will be doing the play-by-play for the Browns-Bills game. I think he's one of the best announcers but these days when calling a game on TV he only gets shit games. The Browns will look to avoid their first ever 11-game losing streak. The Chiefs will be wearing their old Dallas Texans uniforms vs Dallas. The Patriots and Broncos will be wearing throwback uniforms. The Denver helmets will be brown with white numerals on the sides. Their jerseys will be a mustard color with brown numerals. If the Vikings can somehow figure out the vaunted Rams and win this week it will be Minnesota's 400th regular season victory. The Vikings all-time regular season record stands at 399-322-9.
This kinda feels like a Bye Week. Monday can't get here soon enough. I'm looking forward to the double-header on CBS today. Giants vs Raiders and Patriots @ Denver. I don't expect Jeaux to return to this message board after this game, and I'm also expecting the Broncos to go 5-0.
I don't think Jeaux comes back even if the Raiders win. He has too many other shitty performances to explain. The Giants may beat them by 150 points. I heard someone sum it up best, that the Giants could beat them with David Carr instead of Manning. I'm hoping the Broncos win, but not expecting it. They are better than I thought they'd be, but the Cowboys are the only remotely decent team they've played. I think they'll get their asses handed to them. Plus, here is Josh McDaniels at the pre-game greeting with Belicheat. "Oh!!!!! its so good to see you again Master!!! Ohhhh"
Bwahahahaha! It has been reported that Jamarcus Russell has been fined by the Raiders for being late to meetings...AND...for his weight. Russell is coming in weighing in at 270lbs. Can it get any worst than that? Oh wait. It's the Raiders. Of course it can! Hahaha.
Got a pivotal fantasy day today. Got myself into a big hole at 1-3, and also have 1200 riding on a 6 game parlay. Can't wait for football to start...
Not enough of a change with the unis to get excited. The helmet is the only major difference. The Broncos uniforms, on the other hand, are going to knock your socks off.
I was expecting them to be in white because the Cowboys are wearing blue. They wore white jerseys in the 1962 double OT AFL Championship Game
I have no idea what's gotten into Steve Smith this season, but he's incredible. Also, I'm pretty sure Ahmad Bradshaw may actually be the best running back on the Giants right now. I swear I wrote that before he just gashed a hole for another TD. He's lightning quick but runs hard and is really difficult to take down. Very Jones-Drew like.
Vikings 14, Rams 0 That game reminds me of a Married With Children episode circa 1993 when Al Bundy was watching football. He told Peggy he would go somewhere with her when the game was over. The announcer then said, "And the Rams take the field." Al then got off the couch as he stated, "Okay, it's over."
I remember that episode. He was about to watch a bears game and says "If the Bears lose this game, they're out of the league."
