American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

I think they miss both. Before, Arizona had arguably the best WR combo in the league with Fitzgerald and Boldin. Now Boldin is gone, it's much easier to double team Fitzgerald. With Arizona, it's not just their offense. Their defense has been terrible as well.

Philadelphia beats Houston 34-24. Philadelphia made the big plays down the stretch to close it out.

Vick is looking like the real deal, huh?

ATM he is. I always felt that Vick was a talented QB, even back when he was in Atlanta. He just never had the personal in Atlanta that he has in Philly, nor did he have the coaching. It's kinda like Randall Cunningham when he took a year off and then went to Minnesota and suddenly became the best QB in the NFL.

He has been good. But let's not forget this is the Texans' defense we're talking about. :sweat:

They did shut out the Titans.

Actually, that's not saying much. :rofl:

Bet Brady watching the game was wondering how come he couldn't have faced them this year. :doh: NY papers really gung ho with the Jets for Monday's game, they've already notched it as a win, there is NO CHANCE whatsoever for the Pats to win the game, :nut: after all they are the best team in the league, perhaps the best one in this generation, they truly are saying these things. :crazy:

^ That's the kind of big talk that makes me root for the other team, even if it is the Pats.

^^ Easy to root against the Jets now, :victory: be nice to see them get blown out but thinking about it again would be great to see the Pats come back from way down and watch the Jets choke it away. :fingerscrossed:

Nah, a blowout in New England is fine.

A comeback win from way down is much more satisfying when in New York. :twisted:

True, shutting up their fans would be quite satisfying too, actually any way they win will be fine. :mrgreen:

Absolutely.

All those Cowboys losses at home were an early Christmas present, even more so when the cameras panned over to Jerry Jones' skybox during those losses. :twisted:

Today's Green Bay Packers throwback uniforms are very interesting.

No real upsets on the day, lot of close finishes though, however the Raiders and Cowboys both are looking good, know Peyton has injured WRs, but still, 2 more INTs already? :shakehead: And another one returned for a TD. That's 9 INTs in 10 quarters. :puppydog:

And three returned for TDs. :shakehead: :bleh:

If the Colts lose this game, I think they're done... They need to find a REAL running game in the off season to take the heat off of Manning.

Look at the Giants today: Their running game was solid today and it opened things up for Eli. :victory:

Yeah, since Addai went down their running game has been non-existent :shakehead: and those RBs for the Giants had huge games though against the Skins. Least the Colts get the Titans coming up, they better be wary though, they scored 6 points today. :naughty:

Make it four. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

This has got to be some kind of record.... It's getting embarrassing now. :sweat:

EDIT: Manning has thrown three picks in the game... Yet they're in OT, tied at 35. :sweat:

Manning throws his fourth pick of the game and the Colts lose in OT, 38-35. :shakehead:

^^ They need a 4-0 finish or it looks like they'll be out of the playoffs for the first time in a decade. :shocked: Chargers game was an even bigger surprise, getting blown out at home against the Raiders, :bleh: they also need a 4-0 finish to have a chance but right now they lose all the tiebreakers vs. the Chiefs.

Way too many injuries and no running game is dooming them.

Chargers game was an even bigger surprise, getting blown out at home against the Raiders, :bleh: they also need a 4-0 finish to have a chance but right now they lose all the tiebreakers vs. the Chiefs.

Being able to run the ball and pressure Rivers was the key to beating the Chargers.
