4 on special teams? Jesus!
I still think we can get the play offs this year, we can take the Vikes, probably steelers... Colts is always going to be a tough one and the Lions game is winnable. Have to agree that sometimes Bills calls are strange!

Just finished watching the Packers v Vikings game,
I worked really hard at not finding out the score and it was worth it with a nail biter at the end
joint top of NFC North now, not doing ad considering everything happened this season so far :thumbsup:
Yep - here's hoping you can keep your winning streak going next weekend too and help us out a bit, whilst we can hopefully scratch your back at the same time, by beating the Vikings in Foxborough :wink: - wonder if Favre will be fit to play against us next week, with 2 fractures in his ankle....
Final result for the week:
New York Giants 41-35 Dallas Cowboys
NFC East
NY Giants 5-2
Washington 4-3
Philadelphia 4-3
Dallas 1-5 :faf:
Looks like you were possibly right Jimmy - Giants doing things quietly, yet effectively.
Howa about them Cowboys :greengrin
Jerry looked DEEEEEEElighted! Good! He's a prick.
Anyway, yes and no Scott, they could have smashed Dallas tonight, I mean properly crushed them into the dust. They recovered well after a horrible start and deserved to win as they absolutely dominated and I'm not sure 35 points for Dallas shows how pathetic they were. Smashing Romo up obviously played a huge part.
Bryant was the only Cowgirls player to come out that game with any credability. Ok Romo goes down, but it's up to your other big guys to step up and help out your backup QB. They were simply awful.
Saying that, I'm not 100% convinced about our offence yet either. Defence will do me, they gave up 20 points for 55 yards at one point. From 2 interceptions and a punt return. Not a massive issue, very few teams have Bryants ability to return punts like that. They are excellent at pass rushing as well. Fewell has worked wonders so far.
Bradshaw is a beast, as Jabobs finally looks to be playing a part. I just wish they'd cut out the stupid fumbles. ah who cares 5-2, and the Cowboys won't be going to their own superbowl party at 1-5 and no Romo for a few weeks. :faf:
We have a bye week next week and play Dallas at new Giants stadium in three weeks I think. If Romo is still out that should result in another win. So then we're looking for 4 more, probably 5 more wins no including the other Dallas game to be sure. I'm no convinced against the real big sides yet tho.
Anyone going to Wembley on sunday? I cant wait to see another proper game live, last years was fantastic (being a Pats fan of course!) so I am hoping for a good atmosphere, experience and hopefully game although both sides dont look very good this year!
Think it is 5pm KO!
6pm - listed as 1pm ET on ESPN's website.
Didn't fancy it this year - 2 very poor teams chosen - I understand the fans in the USA not wanting to lose one of the big rivalry games to overseas audience (imagine they exported the Edinburgh derby to play an overseas game in China?!), but it would be superb to see a Giants vs Jets, Jets vs Pats, Packers vs Vikings, Raiders vs Chargers or the likes come to Wembley (or indeed a.n.other suitable stadium!)
True, the teams chosen are poor, luckily I got to see the Patriots play in the flesh last year! And a good victory too.
Im going to enjoy the game, I will hopefully be in NYC next summer till the beginning of September so might be able to catch a pre-season game or two out there... Cant wait.
Use are a shoe in for the playoffs. Obviously the Jets will take the division but a wild card is def yours. Like I've said before, I'd love to see a Jets v Patriots championship game.
I won't :gun:.
Has to be a Jets win. LT is in great form and for some reason you seem to be struggling with the run this year. In general I've nothing against the Packers. Big AJ fan with him being a Buckeye and wouldn't mind if they do quite well this year(just not against us).
Half an eye? It's more than I'll have on it. I'm just not feeling it at all and be honest if it wasn't been played in the UK it would be the least intresting match up of the weekend.
Can't see me ever going back for a game unless it's to see a handful of teams.
Word of the wise people. Games kick off at 5pm and 8pm this week cause the clock's go back on Sat night.
One for you'se Wolverines,

I admire your cocki...sorry, confidence :wink::greengrin
Yep, can't see anything other than a Jets win - offense on fire just now, especially LT - expect you to steamroll them in the Meadowlands in all honesty. Would love to be wrong obviously...
I'm in the same boat - I've been down and done it, but I wouldn't go unless it was the Pats again - there's just not anywhere near the same atmosphere/experience as games in the US and the setting of Wembley isn't brilliant (stadium is alright, but surroundings don't make for a good "pre-game" setup. I'm off over to New England next year - hoping to go in late November for a match-up in the snow! :greengrin
Ah sugar, I forgot about the clocks going back - cheers DH!
No doubt Jets are hot faves for this one, With half the defence out and the main running back out for the season we will be lucky to reach the play-offs. BUT there is still some cracking players (Rodgers, Driver, Jennings, Mathews, Hawk, Collins etc) in the team, enough to pull a shock :greengrin
As for the Wembley game - half an eye? i meant when the adverts are on the packers@Jets game :agree:
Can't wait to see what a week's rest has done for our secondary and for LT. Hopefully Holmes can do some damage this week too.
Two other things I'd love to see this weekend, Moss coming back to haunt the Brady Bunch and Dallas going 1-6 :pray:
:greengrin I think my dislike for New England and Dallas is both entirely reasonable and acceptable.
This college football is nuts, Alabama lost the other week and so automatically fall to 8th in these polls I've been looking at. Surely you don't stop being the best college football team overnight? From what I've read nobody is convinced that Auburn or Oregon are that legit either.
I dislike the Jets as much as any Pats fan, but I'm mature enough to avoid calling you names :na na:
These polls are all pure opinion - I'd agree with you, that despite their rather embarrassing loss the other week, the Crimson Tide are probably still the best side in the NCAA - I also find it quite laughable that Ohio State are currently ranked 11th! They HAVE to be in the top 3...
Auburn will be dethroned soon enough - I'm not optimistic for Michigan today, as we're away to visit Joe Paterno and the Penn State Nittany Lions :worried:
Iowa 17 Mich ST. 0
watching the gators game 7-7 with georgia just now:agree:
Not surprised to see we lost to Penn State last night - quite happy to see we put some numbers on the board again right enough, but our shaky defense is going to make it a long end to the season.
Not looking forward to the Ohio State game ONE bit, after they put more big numbers on the board vs Minnesota.
ESPN NFL Countdown starts an hour early today :agree:
You know it makes sence :wink:. Pats @ Jets championship game in the snow would be right up there. Raven's could be a problem but I reckon we could take em.
I am :partyhibb.
Thought that we had blown it and prob still have but the way teams are dropping who know's.
Not long know till use get beat. Going to watch the game so might pop back on later to bask in the glory. Course if we get beat might not be back on till next week :devil:.
How the **** did that happen :dunno:. Our recievers had better get the finger out and learn how to play the game and wtf happened to our running game. Can't believe we throw it away and how anyone who gets shut out can be considerd superbowl contenders is beyond me. Still that's what being a Jets fan is all about:boo hoo: and I guess I've got what I deserve this week.
On a plus point think we've got the Lions next week so all isnt lost just yet.
Seen that Favre started the game tonight. As much as I hate him some of our (Hibs :flag:) players should have a look at themselves. Broken ankle indeed.
