American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

After routing USC last weekend, #14 Stanford become an upset victim this weekend, losing to Cal, 34-28. :shakehead:

Another upset: Ole Miss beats #10 LSU, 25-23.

EDIT: Arizona pushes Oregon to the limit, but the Ducks prevail in two OTs, 44-41. :sweat:

Colts eke out a win in Baltimore, 17-15, to remain unbeaten.

Saints have not problem with the Bucs, 38-7, to remain unbeaten as well.

Steelers get beat by the Chiefs, 27-24, in OT.

And in a "Battle of the Titans" the Lions beat the Browns 38-37.

Right now, watching the Chargers - Broncos game. Chargers lead 20-3. How the hell did Denver get to 6-0??? :shakehead:

And the Lions won on a play with no time left. :sweat:

The Broncos are folding faster this season than they did last... :headscratch:

If they get real desperate they could always go back to those brown and yellow "throwback" (throwup) jerseys. :bleh:

You mean these, right?

Pats beat NY Jets 31-14 :applaud:

and Oakland beats Bengals 20-17 :beaten:

Bengals unbelievably lose to the Raiders, 20-17, one week after beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh. :shakehead:

Some teams just can't deal with success.


Speaking of which, the Broncos get routed by the Chargers, 32-3, losing their fourth straight after a 6-0 start. :shakehead:

I think I figured out why. At one point they showed the pressbox and the caption said, "Broncos defensive coordinator Mike Nolan"

Serves them right for hiring that guy. :shakehead:

They must've used smoke and mirrors for the first six games. :sweat:

True, it seems the years that they won in the Big Ten outright, they went to the National Championship game. In the other years, they were co-champions, but the automatic Rose Bowl bid went to Penn State as Penn State beat them those years.

Titans defeat the Texans, 20-17.

Pretty lousy football games today... Unwatchable. :bleh:

yeah, when I first looked at the schedule and saw Detroit and Oakland, I knew there wasn't going to be much of a 'game'. I was hoping the Giants vs. Broncos game would be better, but Denver was all over NY. How did we lose the superbowl to Eli Manning....oh, that's right, our offensive line never showed up to play. :shakehead:

Big came this coming Monday: Pats at New Orleans.

Should be a good one. The Big Easy brings back great memories Super Bowl XXXVI was a great game with an even better outcome. :victory:

This'll be one of the few times I'll be rooting for the Pats, so they better win.

Alabama almost upset but pull out the win against Auburn, 26-21. Auburn almost had this game, but terrible time management in the final minutes of the 4th really did them in. :shakehead:

I saw that... Didn't have any idea what the coaching staff was doing. :crazy:

Florida all over FSU, 37-10 and TCU all over New Mexico 51-10. :sweat: To give you an idea of how ond-sided these were: I actually watched with my parents and my mom turns to me and asks if there's a mercy rule like in little league. :mrgreen:
