Pats and Eagles must be furious they lost to this lot! Stonewall Fred Jackson and then Buffalo become a very ordinary team.

My prediction at the start of the season for the Jets to win the division isn't looking too bad right now, as the Bills are starting to lose games and our defense is holier than packet of Leerdammer.

Finals:

NY Jets 27-11 Buffalo
Seattle 13-23 Dallas
Miami 31-3 Kansas City

Philip Rivers might turn the gun away from his foot and point it at his head - 2 back to back interceptions takes him to 16 for the year and 19 turnovers overall in just 9 weeks.

Green Bay looking more than comfortable, leading 21-7.

[Gatecrasher]

Good start for the pack, the chargers looked good on the first drive though.

Tebow doing well

TD Chargers and another example of Tebow not being able to handle a defensive blitz

How is it looking thus far?! Hope you come out on top - it's bad enough that he's a Jets fan, but both Jets and Buckeyes is such a disgusting combination, I have to hope you pummel him

Plus, I'm still grateful for the Tynecastle ticket a couple of seasons back

:asshole::asshole::asshole:.






I love you anoll .


Haven't looked but I'd guess I'm already proper ducked. In one of my wise moves I went with my Chiefs D ahead of my Ravens D and started Hakeem Nicks. Theres a reason I'm 1-7 you know.

Best performance of the season from us. O-line looked really good, D fence finally stepped it up and even Sanchez looked good throwing the ball. Still can't see us winning the division but feeling more optimistic of a wild card spot.

Ouch - I know the Dolphins are without a win, but they put up a good performance in NY against the Giants last week, so they always had a chance of getting some points against a typically poor Chiefs D.

Buffalo looked very poor indeed today and we're badly struggling against the Giants today - part of me thinks it wouldn't be a worst case scenario if we fail to get anywhere near the playoffs, as we're bloody woeful.

[Sylar]

Deary me - first scoreless half of the season in the NFL goes to us - amazing, considering we were chasing a record number of games in succession with 30+ points until we played the Jets in NE.

Thank goodness I have an early start and can justify sodding off to bed

[Gatecrasher]

28-17 on the half and green bays ball at the start of the second half

[Sylar]

Giants 3-0 Patriots.

Off to bed.

[James.]

Big Blue go 10-0 up!

[James.]

What an end to the Brady Bunch - Giant game. Pats snatch a late lead on a fourth down & Eli drives straight back up the field with a TD!

NYC owns New England once again!

[Sylar]

season over. our d remind me of the pre-brady era right now. terrible.

Never felt so frustrated with the Patriots and just to make matters worse, we need to face up against an on-form Jets side in the Meadowlands next week.

I'm NEVER confident going to New York, but if our D don't seriously sort themselves out in practice, this could be a blowout next weekend.

I'm saying nothing .



For a day or two .

[CFC]

Well Frisco are a lock for the playoffs now, 7 wins was enough to win the NFC west last year and it will be enough this.........hopwfully they can close out and get a first round bye into the divisional round, 9ers are back.

[Sylar]

Jesus folks, how can their be nothing in here about JoePa being fired from Penn State in the wake of a child sex scandal in their athletics department!

Quite unreal.

Anticipating another miserable sporting weekend - every team I support lost last week (Hibs, Patriots, Michigan Livingston...)

Can't say I'm looking forward to our visit to the Meadowlands or indeed the Michigan Illinois game.

As an aside, if the Jets win comfortably, I'll let either AH or DH post the updated scores and standings, as I'll be hiding for a few days

As you say, unreal scenes of protest from the students, but if he has been complicit in the cover up then they are going to look very stupid. At a time when the focus should have been on getting justice for the victims and supporting them unfortunately the football team is looking like the more important thing to a lot of people.

Agreed. All of the respect that guy commands for his hugely impressive record as a head coach and his 2 BCS Championships, it really is a shame that he'll equally be remembered for this.

He apparently DID pass the information up the ladder to the athletics director of PS, but they elected not to take it any further. I guess knowing the lack of action being taken, it's very surprising that Paterno didn't then deal with the authorities directly.

Having said that, with the Lions bringing in such a huge amount of money to the school ($65 million p/y), perhaps it was too big business to disrupt with off the field scandal!

Be interesting to see what the reaction is this weekend when Penn State face off against Nebraska at home. I imagine the atmosphere will be hugely hostile, with a distinct chance for trouble.

As an aside, some early scores:

NFL

Oakland 24-14 San Diego

NCAA

#10 Virginia Tech 37-26 #21 Georgia Tech
#11 Houston 73-17 Tulane

it will be interesting to see what the Penn St. Game is like later

[DH1875]

Honestly , missed the extra point to take the lead with less than a minute to go. Looks like we are heading to overtime.

[DH1875]

Proper Bull kite. Not only do we miss that extra point, we then decide to settle for a FG in over time only for Perdue to go up the field and score a TD .

A well, there's always tomorrow. How do you know Tom Brady has been in your fridge? There's lipstick on the cucumbers .

[Sylar]

I mean, Purdue....SERIOUSLY

That gives me some hope for 2 weeks time, as we comfortably beat Purdue a few weeks back.

Still not feeling great about tomorrow, but Michigan currently lead 14-0 at the half, so hopefully it's not going to be a total disaster of a weekend!
