What's your take on it???
For some odd reason or another..........I'm thinking the Pats will win :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:
Though I would LOVE Colts to win, i think something will just go wrong.....

Ya gotta think that the Pats are favored... Heavily favored. :sweat:
But I like the Colts and I hope they'll win... They are playing in Indy. :)

LOL, a long, hard fall for the cardinal and gold... :victory:
So is Arizona State remaining undefeated after coming from behind to beat a rapidly disintegrating Cal team.
Yeah, don't know why Cal self-destructed... It's not like they had any injuries to key players...
UCLA is the most manic-depressive team in college football. You really have to look at the coaching when a team is so up and down like they have been this season.
I've been a backer of Karl Dorrell from the beginning, but obviously he's in over his head at UCLA... Time to step down for some new blood.
Hmmm. N.O. 31. Niners 10
My theory? York wants the team to be so bad that no one will care when he moves it out of town.
If my theory is right, he and Nolan are doing a heck of a job.

No excuses for Cal. I don't think they have the heart to be a top team.
But their QB is playing on an ankle that's holding him up only because of the pain killers and duct tape.
They just never did have the sort of WRs that Cal has always produced.
And their running backs... this is one of those inbetween years for Cal running backs.
Tedford's name made people overrate Cal's offense this year.
Right now, the only star I see on Cal's offensive side is Alex Mack, the Center.
On defense, the one real difference maker they have this year is Follett, the OLB. It's great to see a guy play with that kind of wreckless abandon. It would be even greater if he could do it, without tearing his own body up. At this rate the guy won't last to his senior year.

Cal's got 'SC next, I believe....?

Guh, I was really hoping the Niners would beat the Saints, but they apparently haven't progressed much from last year... What happened?
After getting swept in the World Series, more grief for Colorado:
Packers beat the Broncos in Denver, 19-13, on the first play after the kickoff in OT: Brett Favre throws a 82-yard TD strike to Greg Jennings... :sweat:

The quick answer is... they lost Norv Turner.
The real problem seems to be that Nolan doesn't get offensive football. Not that he's stupid... he just doesn't really care about it. He's big on grind it out, let your defense keep the game close to the end, and try to win in the closing seconds with a field goal. That's his idea of great offensive football.
That don't play in S.F.
Because he thinks like that, his new first year Offensive Coordinator is trying to keep him happy with conservative game plans.
And in case I haven't mentioned it before, he went out and hired one of the worst O-Line coaches in the league, and a gawdawful running backs coach.
But he likes them. He thinks they are "tough guys".
I'm not expecting anyting from the Niner's offense until Nolan fires his offensive staff, and brings in a new group of coaches... that he leaves the hell alone. He left Norv alone last year because Norv had a great rep. and becasue Norv used to be his boss. The result was... things started looking up.
It's kind of a shame. This guy, Hostler, the new Offensive Coordinator, really isn't getting a chance to show what he can do.
And oh yeah. The defense is better. But it ain't the Baltimore Super Bowl defense. And right now, they are getting sucked down the pipe with the offense.

Couldn't agree more.
Reminds me of the Ravens game they lost 7-9. I swear the coach said they were playing to get 10 points. Calling plays to get 10 points?? And failing at that??? Come on.
Raiders game blacked out, get to see Colts and Patriots :woot:

For some insane reason, the sports media down here still treats the Raiders as if they were still here in L.A., as if we gave a rat's....
Morons. :shakehead:
No major upsets this weekend.
UCLA loses again, this time to Arizona, 34-27... Coach Karl Dorrell should start emptying his desk right now.
Oregon beats Arizona State, 35-23.

Super Bowl 41-1/2 today: Colts-Patriots in Indianapolis, 1:15PM PT.
Yow, what has happened to the Broncos?
They're getting stomped, 43-0, by Detroit. :shocked:
Chargers losing in Minnesota, 27-17, 'cause they can't contain Adrian Peterson. :sweat:

The Packers defeat the Chiefs, 33-22... Brett Favre joins Peyton Manning and Tom Brady as the only active QBs to have defeated the other 31 teams at least once... Props to the 38-year old future Hall of Fame QB. :thumbsup:
San Diego's defense gives up 258 rushing yards to Adrian Petersen and the Vikings lead, 35-17. :shakehead:
What happened??? :sweat:
EDIT: Peterson just broke the single game rushing record with 296 total yards.... Whoa.
