good win for the Giants, last two weeks have shown a MASSIVE improvement with the defence and Nicks looks awesome so far. His drops will come as he gains more experience. Eventually he will be unplayable!

These late nights are bloody killing me. Know it's only an hour but roll on the clocks going back. Will be intresting to see Holmes in a Jets jersey now that Sanchez is throwing the ball. As for Revis, he better pull it together after all his crap in the summer. If Moss tears him a new one again he better think about giving some of that money back.
Just getting ready for kick-off. Heres hoping i make it through the 1st quarter and wake up in the morning to a win.

Just finished watching the highlights. Jets look like they'll be very strong contenders indeed for the Superbowl this year.
Strong offensive performance, though ironically, despite scoring 29 points, the biggest play was probably the defensive one which stopped Farve getting his fourth rallying TD of the night.
The Vikings offense highlighted some of the weaknesses in the Jets' D, but they really do look a strong team. You guys must be happy, as that's all 3 divisional rivals and a fairly ambitious Minnesota team you've downed since the rather poor start vs the Ravens.
We're only 5 weeks in now, but my prediction for the Superbowl is shaping up to be:
NY Jets/Baltimore Ravens vs Chicago Bears/Atlanta FalconsMadness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

On holiday this week so managed to catch the MNF game. The Vikings were dreadful in the first half and we really should have had them dead and buried by then. Sanchez was making good throws and decisions however the weather was playing havoc with the ball.I thought the defence was exceptional although Revis looked a bit suspect against Harvin at times. I think over the piece we deserved the win, good sign when you aren't at your best and are still fairly comfortable.

If asked to stick my neck out, I'd opt for Ravens vs Bears just now, but it's still early doors!
They always say "offense wins games, defense wins championships" - if that rings true, they may as well hand the Vince Lombardi trophy to Baltimore right now.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

I hope for the Pats to be in the final (obviously) but cant see beyond Jets or Ravens representing in the final. Not sure who against however.

We've got to be happy with how it's all going. Even our defeat against the Ravens was more down to us. We never got going and if anything it was the penalties that cost us. Thing we had something like 12 on the def alone. In saying that I still reckon they could still pip us. Or hows about a Pats @ Jets championship game, in the snow:. Think you are certs for a wildcard and it would be an all time classic.
As for the NFC I reckon you right on the money with the Falcons although I've a wee fancy for the Cardinals. Giants have NO chance.

I'm quite surprised the Baltimore @ New England game isn't being shown on Sky, but again, I should manage to get a good feed!
Last night, No. 25 West Virginia beat South Florida 20-6 in one of the most one-sided games I've seen in a long while - surprised there were only 2 scores in it!Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Well, 2 defeats on the bounce, but a decent rally against a very powerful Iowa side. I did envisage us hitting a wall in the second half of the season so I'm not overly surprised we're on a bit of a sliding slope just now.
On another matter:

BOOM! Baltimore's unbreakable D hits the skids, with the Patriots downing them in Foxborough, in overtime!
Absolutely stoked - we played BRILLIANTLY yesterday, especially slowing down the rushing offense of the Ravens. At one point, we trailed 20-10, but Brady (who didn't have his best game, getting picked twice) found Deion Branch for a TD, before the FG took us into OT, which was won following another successful conversion by Gotskowski!
HUGE result for us, especially with the Jets getting a very good win in Mile High.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Been out of the game and missed all of last weeks action. Can't believe we blew it against Wisconsin still there's always next year. Games on the big ten network this week so might struggle for a link as last one I had got shut down . Think I'm going to go down the baseball route tonight and see if the Yankees can turn things around. That and with the Jets having no game it should be another quite weekend.

There's only one word to sum up my feeling about our win yesterday vs San Diego - "phew".
We looked so comfortable at one stage, leading 23-6, but a well executed TD, followed by another after recovering the onside kick left us staring at 23-20 with 2 minutes to go.
Belichick REALLY confuses me with some of his play calls though and he was lucky to get away with another last night. If anyone recalls the New England @ Indianapolis game last year, Pats leading with 2 to go, facing 4th and 1 on the half way line. Instead of punting and forcing the Colts to drive the field if they wanted to score, they went for it, failed to get it and ended up losing. Last night, with the ball in a similar spot, he done it again and failed again, meaning San Diego just had to get into FG territory.
They did just that and set up for a 45 yard FG attempt. Prior to the snap, a false start penalty was called, meaning the penalty extended to 50 yards, which resulted in the miss.
That was a HUGE win for us out West last night - San Diego are number one ranking for total offense and total defense in the country, so it baffles why they're in the position they're in.
The amount of stupid mistakes they made last night cost them the win and I feel a little bit lucky we got out of there with the victory. That sort of heart-stopping finale is not advisable before going to bed!Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Nice to see both teams playing at Wembley next weekend have received confidence shattering losses, with Denver being hammered by Oakland and San Francisco falling to 1-6 after losing to a previously-without-a-win Carolina Panthers - should be a storming game....I sincerely hope they prove me wrong and it's a proper shootout.

Leaving only the Bills without a win out of all the teams in the NFL. Be interesting to see if the Giants can topple the Cowboys in Dallas tonight, which would leave them utterly no chance of making the postseason already. As I mentioned in my previous post, the position of San Diego is a puzzle - they're nowhere near as bad as their record suggests - it's like the entire AFC West is upside down from how the teams usually place.
The race for the wildcard is already looking tasty in both divisions, with the better records being held in the AFC, with 3 teams at 5-1.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Scott, do you agree that our defense seems to come apart late in the game? This season we seem to be losing TDs late on an luckily holding on a few times... I only get the highlights sadly so maybe I am mistaken.

We do seem to have been a bit of a one-half team this season, but we are getting away with it. I also think we're struggling a little with penalties, which is probably the result of having so many rookies in our starting lineup. The amount of times we gave up holding, false start or personal foul penalties last night was getting infuriating!Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Penalties are destined to kill us unless we can get one of the coaches to sort them out! In the first 5 minutes of the 1st quarter, there were 4 penalties called on our special teams, which considering how infrequently the special teams are on the park, is pretty damned impressive!
We have some BIG games coming up which we need to be winning - the good part in that, is that we have another 4 games in the next 2 months which will probably be covered on Sky - vs Minnesota (next weekend), @ Pittsburgh (14 Nov), vs Indianapolis (21 Nov), @ Detroit (25 Nov, Thanksgiving game 1).Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.
