Same for me. Except I genuinely think the Texans to be better than the Ravens. I'd call it a blowout if the Texans were healthy.

I fully agree. "If the Texans were healthy" is the key part of your post, though.

Yes I know, but I still think they have enough of a lateral run game to be able to run on the Ravens, and their defense can handle the thing that the Ravens call offense.

The battle of 2 good defense with good run games. Normally you'd say the Ravens offense has to tip the scale over a TJ Yates led one but IDK. Pulling for the Ravens but I smell upset! Gunna be a close game though I'm sure.
Much as I love upsets and the Pats losing, I want and expect the Pats to win a fairly easy game.

Oh my God, the officiating is awful. Saints are being GIFTED this game. I can't f**king believe what I'm watching. Brees in the tackle box gets away with intentional grounding, fumbles not being called, and holy f**k, they don't even seem to know where to spot the ball. If the receiver is running backwards, it's where contact is made, not where the catch was made. HE LOSES f**kING YARDAGE BECAUSE HE'S MOVING THE WRONG WAY OF HIS OWN VOLITION. Jesus motherf**king Christ, where did these refs come from, the SEC?

Simple, they are the Saints  It happens every week, the popular teams get the calls man we all know it. I did miss the first quarter and a bit but was quite surprised to see San Fran up 17-0. I am of course praying they pull it out, Niners are no joke but if we beat Green Bay rather take them over Saints at home! Defense is playing well, but it's just damn tough to slow the Saints. Brees has made some perfect throws against tight coverage but 2 picks as well. On the flip side NOLA is bringing the house on Alex Smith. Hell they throw the whole block at them, love that attacking defense. Niners force another fumble! This has been better than I imagined! A defensive struggle???

Man....Brees is actually a tad rattled and threw some bad passes! When not in that dome he's actually, human! :O I love this Niners defense. And the Saints have a good O line, not easy to penetrate them.
Alex Smith! The new...erm old Tebow! Cmon Niners...

Dumb play, Alex Smith. Should have downed it on the 1. Could have cooked off all but about 20 seconds, kicked what amounts to an extra point, and had the Saints with no time outs and no time to score. //EDIT: And Brees took advantage, and Alex Smith recovered from his error and scored AGAIN to win the game. What a mess of an ending.

That was one of the best games I've seen. Justin Smith is absolutely sick.

Yeah but how often does it really happen? That one time with Brian Westbrook....besides that not sure I recall someone actually not taking it in. Who the f**k cares? They beat the Saints and the Refs lol And that was a helluva game.
NINERS! Now Go G men erm....still not supremely confident

Anyone watching the Pats-Broncs game? How about that insane touchdown call? I mean, they reviewed that and upheld it. I'm not sure what has come over the refs today. It must be a directive from Goodell to try to make the score as high as possible in games because he thinks scoring attracts viewers. Which is why the NBA has the highest viewership of all sports, amirite?  //EDIT: Beautiful push-off leads to a touchdown. RIGHT in front of the official. No call.

Offensive pass interference doesn't seem to exist anymore (unless you're as stupid as San Fran was today). It's such an obvious push off.
This game is ugly. Gronkowski might "catch" 6 TDs today.

I havnt watched the game because I really hate both LOL and surprises can happen.....BUT not when it's Pats v. Broncos.
45-10 What a surprise.....
I mean there are bad calls, always, every game, gotta live with it. And also, the refs would need to literally shoot the Pats for Denver to have had any chance. Wonder how badly Tebow has done edit: 9 for 26! Brilliant!  Brilliant Tebow, you are the f**kin man, you are a baller, a gamer and winner I was sooo wrong

That was a crazy game for sure!! Very entertainig even though my Saints lost....but you cannot win a game giving the ball away 4-5 times.
I didn't see anything wrong with the officiating, all those passes were legit and there was an eligible receiver near the ball.
49ers D much better than the Saints D........Saints O much better than the 49ers O...but this was a defensive battle and D won this game.
Ok with the Saints out I think I am now pulling for the Ravens to take it all.
