Are You Ready For Some Football?

[Cin]

And we all know the Pats have cheated in the past and been fined and punished.

Yes, we ALL know this. That's one of the things that irks me the most about this. Everybody knows about the Pats but not many are aware of all the other teams and some of the actually dangerous and career threatening cheating they engage in. And while cheating is cheating, I believe there are degrees and the reality is nothing was going to change the outcome of that AFC championship game. It was a blow out that had nothing to do with the inflation of footballs. But there has been cheating done by some teams that does give them an advantage or worse that takes out for the season one of the key players on an opposing team. Are those teams vilified? I think not. Just because I'm a Pats fan doesn't mean my brain fell out. Even if I wasn't a Pats fan I could see the unfairness and inconsistency in how the Pats are judged compared to other teams.

I completely agree, the Pats seem to be judged, in the court of public opinion, harsher than the other teams that do the same type of things.

And, I also agree that the game against the Colts was a blowout. Even if they took away all of the Patriots points in the first half, the Pats still would have won 28-7. It's just how it is.

Now, there is only three and a half hours to kickoff. Enjoy the pre-gaming and the tailgating (if you are lucky enough to be doing that) and enjoy the game. I think it's going to be a great game!

Now you're talking. I think it's going to be a great game too. I'm off to buy some snacks. Can't watch the super bowl without some good eats.

Yay! Watching the game with friends makes it even gooder :)

I may slip into chat and see who's talking game!

Now to find my game jersey.... GO PATS!!!

[Daktari]

So, who's playing and when's the first scrum?

:tinfoil:

[TruTexan]

New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks on NBC at 5:30pm Central Time








GO PATRIOTS !!!!!!

[stargazingboi]

tide at half time...now that's what I call a good game so far.

[Katniss]

Agreed. The only time I like a blowout is when my stylist is putting finishing touches on an updo before a formal event. :spruceup:


Katniss~~

[Cailin]

Seahawks.. Patriots... who cares who wins, That was Missy Elliot!! score for the halftime show !!

[cinnamongrrl]

What a nail biter! Amazing game! Both teams played like champs....

I'm proud of my boys it wasn't an easy win!

BEST SUPERBOWL I'VE EVER SEEN!


:hangloose:

[stargazingboi]

now that was one hell of a game! way to go PATS!!! Great game Seahawks!

[clay]

What an exciting game! Congrats Patriots! And all you beautiful fans!

[JDeere]

Seahawks.. Patriots... who cares who wins, That was Missy Elliot!! score for the halftime show !!

The halftime show was by far the best I have seen in very very long time!

After halftime I gave up on the game anyways lol

[firegal]

Yes that was a hella of a game. Better game than last year.

[Shystonefem]

OMG, OMG

What a game!!!

[Kobi]

Wow. Awesome. And, so much for the fingernails I was growing.

Seahawks are an amazing and explosive team. Even losing several key players, they just kept rolling along, finding new heroes along the way.

Hope we dont have to play them again anytime soon.

[TruTexan]

That was a great game today after the 2nd half. The first half was slower. I'm so glad it picked up and became more exciting in the 2nd half. I was sitting on the edge of my seat yelling at the tv with some of those plays going on, and throwing socks! LOL
I gotta hand it to the Seahawks, I thought they were going to win if we hadn't got that ball at the end. OMG OMG what a game!
Well played for both teams!

[Cin]

Well that was big fun.

I really thought it was going to be the Seahawks after that crazy circus catch at the Pats 5 yard line. Then Butler intercepts Wilson. Really awesome game. I don't think I would have thrown the ball if I was the Seahawks. But I'm not and if Lockette makes the catch and the Seahawks get a touchdown then everyone would have been saying what a brilliant play it was.

I'm just glad the Pats won.

[firegal]

I agree with the last few posts...definately was a emotional last 2 mins.

i too was surprised when they didnt run. but oh well.Definately a good game.

When both teams are as good as they are.. it always is the little unexpected plays or mistakes that make ALL the difference.. This game proved it!

[Corkey]

The better team won today. Congrats Pats fans.

[Shystonefem]

The Butler did it, in the end zone with the football!

Co graduations to all fans, it was the game of champions!

[betruetoyoursoul]

I know nothing about football for the most part and I enjoyed the game with someone dear that knows little about football...lol..We enjoyed it making our comments.....It was exciting to see how close the game was and I believe either team could have won....They were both great*S

[A. Spectre]

An extremely dubious call just inches from a touchdown by the Seahawks. They still had time, and a time-out.

The brouhaha at the end of the game reminds me once again that these multi millionaires are held on a pedestal despite behaving like petulant spoiled children. A fight. Really? Great imagery for the young kids watching, yeah-no.

All-in-all, a nail biter of a game and Kati Perry and the half time show was superb! The hours invested from truly talented people putting it all together is to be lauded.

A high-five to the Patriots and their fans. Congratulations!

[~ocean]

Congrats to the Patriots :) ~ The Seahawks are a great team . excellent match up ~ either one of these teams could have won this game .

[nhplowboi]

For all those who didn't have a Clue. Very funny Shy!

[Blade]

In at least 45 years of understanding the game of football, I don't remember ever seeing a game I thought was "thrown". I swear this one looked like it. Who calls a pass play that close to the goal line, with downs left and time outs left and 4 points down. Not just in the Super Bowl but in any game. As Collinsworth said NOBODY who understands the game of football, would run that play at that time.

Collinsworth flipped out when he saw Wilson dropping back to pass. Brady made a great comeback for sure, but was he really the MVP? No he wasn't, Butler was the real MVP, without his interception the Seahawks would have scored. Then there is the 13th man Pete Carroll. Maybe he deserved the new Colorado truck more than anyone in the game.

I said before I didn't care who won and I didn't but to be honest I was so jacked up after the last 30 seconds of that game I couldn't even sleep.

I really don't think it was that bad a call. Certainly not one I would have made, but one that makes some sense. If you consider there was 26 seconds left and if the Seahawks run the ball and don't score, they are forced to take their last timeout. That means on third down, they would have had to pass anyway since there likely wouldn't have been enough time for them to line up and run a fourth down play after an unsuccessful rushing attempt. By passing on second down, then they could run the ball on third and fourth if they need to. It might not be the best decision but it certainly was an option and if it had worked nobody would be second guessing the decision. And it easily could have worked if Wilson had thrown the ball low and into the chest of Lockette (notice where Tom Brady puts the ball on the slant to LaFell for a touchdown earlier in the game) and Lockette had positioned himself better anticipating the contact from Butler. That's not what happened, but I think it was more likely just a bad throw and poor positioning from the receiver that made Carroll's call seem worse than it was. I really can't imagine the Seahawks threw the super bowl. I mean do you really think that's what happened? Maybe Belichick or Brady paid Carroll to throw the game? Or maybe the NFL just fixes the super bowl?

As far as Brady not deserving being MVP, that's a matter of opinion. I think Brady takes apart defenses with surgical precision. I think he has ice water running in his veins. When he is on there is nobody better. And I believe he really wanted to win this game badly. But that being said, the Seahawks were given a really amazing break with Kearse falling to the ground and using his knees and a hand to hold onto that pass. If Wilson had thrown a better slant pass to Lockette, Butler never would have made the interception, so I still believe Brady deserves MVP. Without him they wouldn't have been in the position to win the game.

[Corkey]

There will be an offensive coach without a job next year.

Not the first time that Brady gave away his ride. He donated the Cadillac he won for his second Super Bowl MVP award to his High School to be raffled off. He got the whole team to autograph the underside of the hood and it raised $375,000.

I'm glad he gave the truck to Butler he did deserve it. He could have just as easily given it to Pete Carroll though.

Anyone watching the NFL Draft? If so did your team get who you thought they were going to pick?

I am waiting for Dallas to take their pick, 6 picks to go!

[cinnamongrrl]

I forgot it was on actually.... :(

[JDeere]

I forgot it was on actually.... :(

They are on pick number 24 right now! Who is your team?

[Blade]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
READYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Tennessee football
43 days to wait

[cinnamongrrl]

I'm beyond ready. I am keeping my cable on JUST for football!

[TruTexan]

I'm going to watch just about every game the Texas Longhorns play this year because I am now getting the Longhorn Network Channel :)~

I can't wait for football season to start. I miss it.

[randrum]

I participated in the BTN (Big Ten Network) Big 10K over the weekend. Definitely got me in the spirit for college football.

Eddie George was the Grand Marshal. And they had a 40-yd dash setup along with a Combine area. In the Combine, you could try to kick a field goal or throw the football into different targets.

Really cool event.

I live next to the guy that owns the Ottawa "Red Blacks". Every time I see him, I ask "how's the team doing?". That's because I've never seen them play and you've probably never heard of them either".

ARE YA READY?????????? huh huh huh??? ARE you??????????? hmmmm????



I WAS BORN READY!!!

I have your shirt, need to know where to send it. I've had it since last Feb. Lol

[JDeere]

Watching the SD - Dallas game now

[Gentle Tiger]

What am I thankful for? The NFLHD channel. Now watching the Washington - Cleveland game.

[JDeere]

Broncos/Seahawks game on my end, right now. Halftime though.

[Bèsame*]

Ohhhh....Tim Tebow is on a team...lol

[Toska]

I don't know anything about sports but I do know that Clay Matthews is a Golden God.

He plays football, right?

No, I am not ready for football :)

Oh really and why is that? :p

[Bèsame*]

what is a halo call???

[JDeere]

what is a halo call???

I want to say it is when you brush up against the player trying to catch the ball when they punt it away.

[randrum]

Should be an interesting year. The Bears starters look like crap, but our second and third string can win games.

As for college, my Cyclones kick off this weekend. I'm just hoping for another win against Iowa.

[Kobi]

NFL season opener tomorrow 8:30 pm EST - Patriots vs. Steelers.

[JDeere]

I am not a fan of either team tonight but I am watching it simply because it is football!

I have to wait till Sunday to watch my Cowboys!

[Blade]

Hate the Steelers, hate the ever cheating Pats even more. Pulling for the Steelers tonight. Did anyone check the air in the balls tonight?

[Ascot]

I don't care what anybody says. I'm a diehard Pats fan. And right now, they are kicking Steeler ass.

[TruTexan]

Patriots Win Their 1st Game tonight. Beat the snot outta the Steelers.

[Kätzchen]

We are Seattle Sea Hawks fans, so we are going to try to get tickets to a few games this year.

GoooOooOoo Sea Hawks! :hk19:

[JDeere]

OMG what a comeback!

Way to go Cowboys! WE DEM BOYZ!

[TruTexan]

OMG what a comeback!

Way to go Cowboys! WE DEM BOYZ!

I know, Right?!!!! One hellofa comeback play in the last minute of the game!!
I think Romo woke up !!

[JDeere]

I know, Right?!!!! One hellofa comeback play in the last minute of the game!!

I think so too

Dez will be out for 4-6 weeks broken bone in foot

[*Anya*]

Every year, I watch HBO's training camp sports show. And, every year, I enjoy getting to know the players on the team being highlighted more than just reading about them.

This year: the Houston Texans. Coach: Bill O'Brian.

JJ Watts, #99. Very impressive guy. Arms like a side of beef.

I always feel badly for the guys that they start having to cut to get from 75 players around September 1, down to 53 players last week on the season finale.

Anyway, good game with KC today but they lost-27 to 20.

There is always next time...

:football:

[JDeere]

Anyone watching tonights game?

[Bèsame*]

oh yeah....are those really the Chiefs playing?

[JDeere]

oh yeah....are those really the Chiefs playing?

I guess lol, not my team I am just watching it to see how teams are playing just in case Dallas has to play them.

[Bèsame*]

what an ending!

[JDeere]

That was a good ending for Broncos fans! Now I know Peyton Manning can be a threat for throwing when it's needed.

Sunday needs to hurry though.

[TruTexan]

Broncos VS Chiefs............went into OT tied at 24-24. Broncos defensive player forced a fumble by knocking the ball loose from the running back and Broncos player returned it for TD.

Broncos beat Chiefs 31-24 in OT. Wheeeeeewwww close game..

[JDeere]

Tomorrow Tomorrow I love ya Tomorrow, you're only a day away!

[PaPa]

Watching Penn State v. Rutgers right now. Penn State is about the only team I follow semi-faithfully.

[Wrang1er]

What day is it? WHO DEY! Go Bengals!

[cinnamongrrl]

sigh...

Im never going to see any Patriots games this season...unless they play the Panthers...or maybe the Titans...

[JDeere]

Weird ass game between Dallas and Philly!

Cowboys won 20-10

Romo is out for a long while and so is Dez Bryant but glad to see some players step up today.

[TruTexan]

I missed the second half of the Cowboys game. I'm glad they won.. but sorry to hear Romo is out for while. Dez was hurt last game and that sucked.


Thanks for the update on the Cowboys, JDeere.

[JDeere]

No problem Tru....

[cassiopeia67]

I'm not a NFL viewer.. does CFL count?

[TruTexan]

IF that's the football you watch Cassi, by all means talk about your favorites.

[JDeere]

Dallas has traded to the Buffalo Bills for their QB Matt Cassell and quite possibly will be using Kellen Moore!

God help us we need another good backup!

[TruTexan]

Who did Dallas trade to them for their QB>? ah..........Dallas traded their late 2017 picks to close the deal.

[JDeere]

Who did Dallas trade to them for their QB>?

I think a 2017 draft pick.

[Barb42]

Im hoping the Colts get it together soon...

[JDeere]

This Redskins/Giants game is lame!

Sorry fans but really, let's see some real action!

[Kätzchen]

It looks like the Minnesota Vikings gave the San Diego Chargers something to think about, today.

Vikings 31
Chargers 14

[JDeere]

Ugh Dallas lost but it was a pretty good game.

[Wrang1er]

Another win for the Bengals! We're 3-0. It was a good game. WHO DEY!

[Teddybear]

3-0 BABEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im so proud of the Falcons. What a come back.

[Ascot]

And the Pats, also 3–0, spank again. I'm not especially shocked.

[TruTexan]

Yep Cowboys lost today. They should have won but they didn't handle the 2nd half as well as the 1st half. I think their heads were stuck somewhere unmentionable.

[TruTexan]

My FAVORITE team is the NE Patriots. YAY 3-0 and on a bye this next week.
WAY TO GO PATS!!!

[randrum]

The Bears suck. I have no idea why I still watch their games.

[homoe]

The Bears suck. I have no idea why I still watch their games.

OMG Please don't give up on Da Bears just yet:|

[SirenManda]

I'm late this season, but I got some problems with the Seahawks and how things are going. I was totally going to actually go to a game but now I'm like... idk.

[JDeere]

The Denver/Detroit game wasn't half bad. Seems alot of injuries are killing teams.

[homoe]

WOW are those Packers off to a great start or what:praying:

[JDeere]

Watching the overtime of the Steelers/Ravens game.

[JDeere]

Damnnnn nice field goal. Ravens win 23- 20.

[TruTexan]

I'm ready for the weekend games !!

[cinnamongrrl]

sigh...

football is a bust this year...I see NO Patriots games at all ever....

Ben was my fantasy football qb....this is the second time Ive had him where he got injured....

meh

I do love what my boys are doing. Just wish I could see them do it....:confused:

[JDeere]

I'm ready for the weekend games !!

Me too Tru, me too!

I finally get to be home for one game this month LOL

[Kobi]

The cure for a Patriots bye week is to have football coverage start at 9:30 am - thank you London - and continue straight through to 11 ish pm.

[Teddybear]

Will you look at those Falcons. Unless we get off the field I would say it is 4-0 baby

[Wrang1er]

Bengals are 4-0! WHO DEY!

[Shystonefem]

Patriots will be close to unstoppable this year. Goodhell pissed Brady off enough that Brady is determined. Even with a so-so defense, they are pulling it off. High scoring games.... and you know that it is all Brady and his offense that are putting the points up.

LMAO 51-17????

This year is another Patriots year!!!!!!!

[WolfyOne]

The Bears finally won a game, but I still don't like the way they're playing.
Cutler still sucks and the new coaching team isn't much better.
The best thing that could happen this season would be to hope for a decent draft pick next year and it turns out to be a QB.
So many new players, I need a score card to keep track.
Oh and offense could use a lift or better coaching.

Yep, love my Bears, but this year I have issues with them.
Win or lose, they will always be my team even when disgruntled.

[JDeere]

Waiting on Dallas/ New Orleans game to start.

[TruTexan]

Watching the Cowboys Vs Saints game tonight.

[JDeere]

Saints win in OT.

26-20
Dallas is injury plagued so I see another bad season.

[SirenManda]

IDK why but I'm really feeling Seahawks are gonna kill it this weekend. I feel sorry for bengals fans, cause I'm gonna rain dance into a win.

[Wrang1er]

IDK why but I'm really feeling Seahawks are gonna kill it this weekend. I feel sorry for bengals fans, cause I'm gonna rain dance into a win.

[JDeere]

Is it me or are the refs in these games making poor calls? What is up with all the injuries on teams? Are they players not conditioned like they should be to play?

SMH

[Wrang1er]

Overtime win for the Bengals. It was a rollercoaster ride for sure. I was sweating bullets for a while. 5-0 WHO DEY!

[homoe]

Seahawks blow a 17 point lead:|

[homoe]

Aaron Rogers and the Packers win again:cigar2:

[WolfyOne]

My Bears barely won...Bennett couldn't hold on to the ball and I still don't like Cutler as a QB :blink:

[JDeere]

Dallas lost again, so did Houston last Thursday. I have to say that both Texas teams are done for the season.

[TruTexan]

GO PATRIOTS!!! big win over Dallas today. 30-6 neener neener :raspberry:

Click on each team for an in depth look at the things they have done to earn their cheat score. Interestingly enough out of 32 teams the Patriots have only amassed enough cheat points to be 23 on the list. There are 22 teams who are bigger cheaters. Not that anyone would know it.

Oh I wasn't confused about what you were referring to at all. I just figured in the interest of fair play, because we all like fair play, I would bring to anyone's attention who cares to click on the link all the teams who have been caught cheating and cheating in ways that make a little extra air in a ball seem rather tame. Funny how one doesn't hear much about all those scandals. I mean they are part of the public record and are available for all to see, but not much is ever made of them. The Broncos, the leagues number 1 cheaters, are guilty of using performance enhancing drugs, violating salary caps, spying on other teams practices, videotaping them, offensive linemen using a foreign substance on their arms to make it harder for defensemen to get a grip, and the list goes on. And I am not purposely singling out Denver, I just used them because they are the number 1 cheaters. But there are plenty of others. And plenty, 22 exactly, who are bigger cheaters than the Pats. So in the spirit of fair play and all I figured I would point that out. I know the pats are the team people seem to love to hate, but they have in no way cornered the market on cheating. Their offenses have been rather mild compared to most.

The Packers did well too...made me a happy girl!

For the first time since 1988 the Bengals are 6-0! I am a very happy butch.

WHO DEY!

I was just coming to post about how awesome the Bengals look this year!

:goodluck:

[cinnamongrrl]

I was hopeful for the Browns...but that game looked like some keystone cops deal...

A sloppy win for Denver...it was a tight game...

Thanks Cinna! It's been a long time coming and I am overjoyed. Maybe I had to leave town for them to start kicking ass. ;)

Another blown lead by the Seahawks in the 4th Quarter!

[Smiling]

NO!


lol, just playing - carry on.

(lol, this is like the virtual equivalent of someone standing in front of the TV trying to have a conversation during the game, isn't it?)

[cinnamongrrl]

I noticed...

They are not playing like last year's team. What has changed so drastically?

No Clue but I'm a Packer Backer ( Cheese head) so I'd don't care!

Im a secret Packer fan...lol My love for Brett Favre is well known in most circles.

I was happy they won against SD but...Clay Matthews was a little rough with my former Patriot, Danny Woodhead...and I was not pleased.....

He's just a wee little guy :(

[TruTexan]

I got to watch another win for my Patriots!! Yeah baby!!!

[homoe]

Couldn't get a Packers or Seahawks game so I watched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get that smiled wiped off their face:seeingstars:

In a big way!


My Pats pulled it off! GO PATS!

It was a nail biter for a while there. Jets' defense is looking pretty good. I don't know why their QB is so shy about throwing the dang ball...

I have to say this: The Jets new coach is scary stoic. I bet he's the kind of coach that makes his players go get a willow switch when they mess up...but he seems to make a positive difference. Which is difficult for me to say since the Jets are our division rival...

:fastdraq:

[TruTexan]

GO Patriots !! 6-0 Baby !! Yeah !!

[homoe]

Poor Lions they just can't seem to get it together this year, and me from Michigan:jester:

THIS year? Dearest Moe, you are so kind hearted....

I also would like to see them do well....I always root for the under dog...at some point you would think getting top draft picks would cancel out all the bad juju going on there....

[TruTexan]

Dallas , Dallas, Dallas, lost again. What the hell else can I say?

Maybe next week you'll be lucky and get a win against the Seahawks:footballpass:

[TruTexan]

Maybe next week you'll be lucky and get a win against the Seahawks:footballpass:

yeah maybe.....shrug. Romo isn't my fav. quarterback I actually think he chokes too much. He's not back until sometime in November from the broken collar bone.
I did think the 3rd string QB is much better than the 2nd string, and that they should continue to give him a chance to see if he's any better the longer he plays. I can't wait to see if I'm right. Who knows.

[homoe]

I know Seahawks use mainly Wilson as our quarterback and if any god forbid should anything happen to him, they'd be up the proverbial creek without a paddle:nailbitin:

[JDeere]

Dallas lost a really good game against Seattle, losing by just one point, major defensive game!

Broncos beat the Packers!!! My boy Antonio Smith made a couple of sacks in the game!

[Shystonefem]

My Pats are 7 and 0

Next week should make it 8 and 0

With all the new players this year, I started out a bit nervous but seems to be OK. We are not #1 in any one area but we are a great overall team.

14 and 2 or 15 and 1 will make this DEDICATED AND DEVOTED Pats fan a very happy person!!!

[asphaltcowboi]

I think im the only Az. Cardinals fan but they are looking strong this year.
if only they would get more consistent. 6-2

[TruTexan]

Seahawks Beat Cowboys by 1 damn point. 13-12 dammit.

[TruTexan]

GO PATS 7-0 baby !! YEAH !!

[not2shygrrl]

What in the hell is going on with my beloved Steelers????
There were so many flags in that game yesterday on both teams.....my goodness....:vigil:

[Wrang1er]

Battle of Ohio! I'm feeling 8-0 coming on. WHO DEY!

[Wrang1er]

Watch out Texans here we come!

[JDeere]

Watch out Texans here we come!

That is an easy win for the Bengals. Texans suck hardcore!

[homoe]

I'll have an eye on Green Bay and Carolina

[Chad]

Go Packers!

[Blade]

NEVER EVER thought I'd be saying this

GO PANTHERS!!!

[JDeere]

Dallas is playing Philly tonight, I wonder if Romo is coming back and how our offense is going to play. Defense is good but Offense not so much.

Let's Go Cowboys!

[Chad]

Both my teams lost bummer.

[JDeere]

Anyone watch the Jets/Bills game?
Is it me or did it look like Christmas vomited on the field?

[Chad]

What could be better than watching my team with snacks and a Guinness beer. Happy Sunday.

Go Packers!

We have won MANY a game on Gostkowski's leg!

Seems to me that game should NOT have been so close....

Definitely not a pretty win for the Patriots but the Giants always kick it up a notch against us. Edelman's broken foot joins Lewis' torn acl. Time for Armendola to shine.

Speaking of not pretty, does anyone know who put the hex on the Packers?

I heard Edelman was injured. I didn't know it was broken :( Maybe Dion Branch could come back ONE last time...

I can't believe the Packers lost to Detroit. Of all teams. Haven't they lost nearly every game this season?? Hex is right. We need good juju all around. Sheesh

[Chad]

Go Packers!

[TruTexan]

BOUT time Romo came back, gotta a win for the boys today vs dolphins.

still in last place but it's about time that losing streak was broken.

[homoe]

Go Packers!

Indeed they went and won..now for Thursdays game

[Wrang1er]

My Bengals have lost two games in a row. I think I jinxed them by not watching/listening to those two games. I have been in Cincinnati for three weeks with my mother while we prepared for her to have surgery to remove a tumor and a second surgery to fix her urethro. She only has one TV and that is in the living room and that's where she's been while she recovers and I don't want to disturb her.

My team has had their best start ever winning eight in a row and my momma is cancer free. Who dey, who dey think gonna beat my momma! Nobody! :)

[Ascot]

Yes I am, damn it. My boys are up against the Bills tonight.

GO PATS!!

[cinnamongrrl]

My mom just texted me to let me know the Pats beat the Bills and are now 10-0...

We both seriously needed some good news :)

GO PATS!!!!! <3

[JDeere]

I can't believe Dallas finally won a game with Romo coming back.

[Kobi]

Lions game was an awesome display of offense.

Carolina game is a giant blur of blue on my screen. Guess they didnt learn from the totally red vs the totally green uniforms a couple of weeks ago. Romo gone again? Already?

Hoping Green Bay will save the day and my fantasy teams.

[Chad]

Go Packers!

[Bèsame*]

Time for arts and crafts Romo.

[cinnamongrrl]

I agree, that blue is annoying. Makes then look bigger, and not in a "buff" way...

Lions didn't sleep tonight:football:

[TruTexan]

dallas got their ass stomped playing the panthers.

[Chad]

What is going on with the Packers? They keep losing, bummer.

[asphaltcowboi]

GO PANTHERS!!!!!

what are you going to do when it comes to pat's vs. panthers?

I recall last year you were an avid pat's fan?

Oh I still am...very much so...but I have two home teams now...two loves...

When they play each other I simply say, my team will win no matter what lol


Secretly though....I will always root for my Patriots. They have been my team since I was sixteen....

<3

[TruTexan]

Patriots lose in Overtime to the Broncos, 24-30. But.....They are still no. 1. ha ha ha ha..........10-1 for the Season!!!
It was a good game today to watch. I enjoyed it.

GO PATRIOTS!!

[cinnamongrrl]

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.....

Yes....they are always number one in my book....I just don't get why the broncos always present such a struggle for the Pats. It doesn't help that we are down 2 of our best receivers of course....le sigh....

At least my Panthers are still undefeated. Now, in what universe would you have ever imagined hearing that???

GO PATS!

GO PANTHERS!!

[Kobi]

Thursday night I got to watch Aaron Rodgers hail mary pass beat the stunned Lions. Was cool.

Today I got to watch the Jets fight back to force overtime against the Giants. Giants kicker picked a crappy time to miss his first field goal attempt of the season. Yay Jets!

And then, I got to watch the Patriots. Apparently, the game plan today was to pretend they were the Keystone Kops. The most exciting play was Brady transforming from QB to WR for a 30+ yard catch. I dont know if it was part of the game plan or Brady's inpromtu attempt to model for his receiving corps how to catch and ball AND hold on to it until the whistle blows. He should have also modeled how to stop the defensive line from smooshing the QB into the turf.....for the 40th time in the last 3 weeks. It was an ugly ugly home loss.

At least the Panthers are still undefeated!

[JDeere]

LOL the Pats lost to a crappy ass team the Eagles!

HAHAHAHAHA falls off chair roaring with laughter!

[Shystonefem]

LOL the Pats lost to a crappy ass team the Eagles!

Umm... I don't see the humor.

Wait til Gronk is back next week. The Pats (MY BOYS) will be the ones laughing.

But, yeah, I know... the frigging Eagles???????

[Kobi]

Have seen lots of celebrations in the end zones after TD's. Antonio Brown upped the stakes on this one. After the game he had, cant blame him tho. It was worth the penalty.


Brown and the goal post (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/0ap3000000596201/Can-t-Miss-Play-Antonio-Brown-makes-defenders-frown?campaign=fb-nf-sf16613247-sf16613247)

[Chad]

Packers vs Cowboys today.

[Shystonefem]

GO PATS!!!!! GO GRONK!!!!

I just hope Gronk isn't coming back too soon. I would rather lose this game than lose Gronk for the rest of the season and the post-season.

[Chad]

Go Packers!!!

[Blade]

Poor Cowboys! Still love you guys though. Fyi Tebow needs a job, jus sayin

Staying on the same theme

GO TEXANS

anybody but the Pats

[Kobi]

Football was brutal today.

Carolina's unbeaten season came to an end at the hands of the Falcons? Really? The Falcons? That's as bad as the Patriots losing their unbeaten season to the Eagles.

Arizona pummeled the Packers. Literally. Green Bay needed a crane to salvage what was left of Aaron Rodgers after he was sacked 9 times.

And my Patriots? Who in their ever loving right mind elects to NOT receive the ball in overtime?

Can't wait to see what happens between the Giants and Vikings tonight.

[cinnamongrrl]

I feel bruised by proxy..

All three of my favorite teams lost today...the patriots lost to a big rival team, the jets...

I can just feel their smugness from here....

Just so long as they know, we beat them religiously for years......

YEARS

And yeah...the falcons??? Really?? The planets must be doing some funky shit up there...

[Wrang1er]

My Bengals clinched the AFC North (thanks to a crazy Sunday)! Now we need to beat the Broncos. WHO DEY!

[Bèsame*]

what team from TEXAS is heading to the playoffs?

Sorry Cowgirls :(

[JDeere]

Texans will be out of it after the first game. Sorry Nextans.

I hope the Packers do a better job tonight.

No Romo was the problem and mass injuries to the team took a toll this season.

[Blaze]

Ok, Ok. Way to go Texans.. Gotta support your Home town team. Glad JJ Watts hand is in top shape again
But my team has always been Kansas City...

And the Cougars, who ESPN slandered as Houston Who?
Grinz.. Way to go Cougs! Red is a good color...

[Chad]

Go Broncos!

Yay Broncos!!

Now let's go Packers!

Oh that's right, there will be a next game!

Meh.

That's all I have to say about that...

[Kobi]

Meh.

That's all I have to say about that...


Meh is good. I hit WTF by halftime.

[TimilDeeps]

I was,I was ready for some football but then I watched the Cowboys game; now,not so much . . .

[Bèsame*]

This game is called fumble follies and/or interception junction .

[Wrang1er]

I was so hoping we wouldn't have to play the Steelers in the playoffs. :( Not the first game anyway.

Glad the Pats get a bye week. Maybe, some of the injured players will be back or at least healthier. Brady's ankle MRI came back with just a sprain. Phew.

Given we have lost 4 of the last 6 games, and lost most of our bulky defensive linemen for the year, Im hoping we dont have to play the Steelers. Last time we did, Big Ben managed to drag half the line, the mascot, and a tow truck about 25 yards before before he tired enough for them to get him down.

[Kobi]

Well, the Chiefs made it look easy.

Now, the Bengals need to make it look easy. Wrangler, get out the sage and start smudging!

I completely agree with you on the Steelers. I know Edelman is back, just praying we can up our D in time for the playoffs.

We may have helped you out either way.

Wrangler, that was one heck of a 4th quarter with a wee bit of wtf??? Sorry the outcome wasnt favorable. The Bengals still had an amazing season. A lot of talent and a lot of youngins there. Bodes well for the future, especially with a healthy Dalton.

Pats take on KC. Dont know if that is good or not.....yet.

Denver gets to tango with what is left of the Steelers. Be interesting to see what's up with Ben's shoulder. And, I'm quite sure Antonio Brown is still circling Jupiter after that hit.

The sad part is I had to listen to the game because the satellite went out. Then in the last few minutes the internet went out so I couldn't even listen.

We did have an awesome season and I am looking forward to next year!

It was an ugly game....glad the hawks won!

Im getting too old for these last play of the game wins and weirdness. LOL.
Congrats Hawk fans.

Hoping the Green Bay-Washington game is a high scoring one.

[Lecheloco]

It's been a WILD wildcard weekend! can't stop watching all the way to the final seconds anything can happen :blink:

Oooo, some nice passes this game. Still early though. Interceptions? Incompletes?


Still, too many commercials.

I think Hightower, Jones and Vollemor (?) will be in the playoffs. I also think Edelman is coming back and we can only pray to the football God's that Amendola is ready to play.

I think the Pats wanTed KC to win. While KC has a great defense, we have a great offense when all are healthy.

I met a lovely authentic cheese head while in line then other day. We lamented about Rodger's bad year and talked about the sainted Brett Favre.

He was such an affable guy. I guess mid westerners are as nice as southerners :)

[Shystonefem]

They said that we may have some defense for the playoffs! (Patriots for those who don't know my team.) And, our offense will be souch better.

I hope we are Superbowl bound!

Still want the Seahawks to win.
