Phew.  Would have been another bad give away to not have won that one considering how easily Batch was slicing Baltimore's secondary.  Thought Sanders' blunder was this game's "Baltimore's luck" play but thankfully  things worked out in the end and team that played better won.

Pffft...because he's beneficial to you Rob...
Nah, Peyton is doing as we would expect, assuming he was healthy. Also, we knew Denver had a solid D, run game and some decent wideouts. Great achievement but what AP is doing is insane. He's also more important. The Broncos managed some success with Tebow. Without AP, Vikes are probably 0-1 winsLOL


Stillers/Ravens game has been pretty good, more or less what we expect. Looks like both has upped their game but Pittsburgh...well Charlie BatchLOL  Ed Reed is held together by band aids and still is a beast.
Edit: Wow, tight game. I wanna point out the irony, mainly to MoM, that the Stillers were the lesser team in this game, but thanks to their weak opponent, and doing just enough...they eeked a win. How's it feel to be what you complain about? Wink

Yeah, but Peyton missed an entire season and has come back in MVP form.  Not to say that AP hasn't, but QB is a much tougher position to come back to form in than RB.  AP has been incredible; Peyton has been legendary.  Also, the Broncos are winning convincingly (whereas the Vikes aren't really winning), and a lot of the credit could be placed on Peyton's shoulders. 
 
ause of Peyton.  And another heartbreaking defeat for the Lions.  I want heads to roll on that defensive coaching side.  Awful, awful last 2-3 minutes.

That Rams game was incredible, one of the most exciting games I've seen in a long time.  One player who played great that probably not many people noticed was Steven Jackson; he didn't rush for many yards but man, did he run hard.  Some of his 1 or 2 yard runs were great achievements because most other backs would have lost yards.

I love AP.

For me, he made up for Brees' horrible Thur. night performance.

I almost hope the Rams & Niners game ends in this tie.
 
 
Though I'd like the rams to win it outright.

Are they actually benching Sanchez?
And going to put in the true back up QB, not that pastor trying to be a QB??

Anywho, some great teams ahead but the Packers just aren't quite the same. The Redskins still have no one outside of RG3, the Saints and Falcons are the most worrisome, the Ravens just keep giving you a "meh" feeling and the Eagles are toast.
I'm not scared by the paper!
I think it's not unrealistic to say the Giants can win 4 of the next 6.


Hey dude,

Big time congrats on beating the Packers, you guys clowned them!   Big game between my Skins & your Giants on
Monday nite.  I am shocked the Redskins won on Thanksgiving, but again the Cowboys are decimated by injuries.

Redskins match up well against you guys.  It should be a good game.



GREAT game against the Pack but I like to stay in reality, I can not trust that defense until they do it more consistently.
At least the offense is on track, and I believe the Skins still have a very poor pass defense (441 from Romo). Last game you played us we were in a slump, so we'll see. As MWH and I have been saying, it's the Giants....we can lose this game 44-3. Then come back and shutout the Saints. LOL

And I feel less impressed with the Falcons every week. I'm saying it now, this schedule isn't as bad as it seems. SB run #3? WinkLOL

That Kansas City news was crazy.
We'll never know what exactly was going on but we tend to think of these guys like super human, thanks to their gift as well their status, but they are just humans like us...and feel pressure (mountains of it) have to live with a lot of money, which I really don't think is an easy thing. They have issues like we do which probably get magnified in their life. Some who are mentally weaker can snap easily, very sadCry

^ Oy!
 
well that seems quite unexpected. A shame. Heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the Chiefs and his (and her) family and friends.

Pretty sweet game.
Tough to be sold on Ryan...he's a very good QB when all is smooth, but with the pressure on he rarely seems to impress (or do much at all). Champs are made under pressure, and Matty Ice looks as good as the crappy beer he's nicknamed after! Tongue

Defense can play though, and honestly it looked like 2 of those 5 were Brees'...just some hardcore balling on the Falcons D.
Saints didn't do badly either, torrents of pressure and did enough in coverage. I love when an expected shootout is a defensive struggle!

My game MVP: Matt Bryant!

I really do feel bad for Alex Smith.
I know the in thing is to bash him but he was never bad. In fact going back to 2009 he's been solid and he led his team to just outside the SB last year. Seems like the team always wanted Kaepernick, and they seem to play so much better with him there. All Smith did was be a very efficient QB and led his team to success, he gets injured (not his fault of course) and boom he's on the way out....sad


Aw yeah! Thank god for the Saints poor defense. Michael Turner finally getting me a good fantasy game! I need it, everyone I start has been floppingCry
