ATL @ GB - Ah, the Packers. A mystery team, wrapped in obfuscatory and enigmatic… well, they are possibly overrated. Many people are hanging all over Rodgers’ sack, proclaiming him to be the next Messiah, but he’ll have to do time eating locusts first. Happily, thay are at home against a pack of girly boys. Packers by 3.

A pack of girly boys huh! ATL 3-2, they finally won one on the road, I smell good things coming for those girly boy Falcons. They may not make the playoffs but they got the ship righted.

Giants fucking laid a beat down on Seattle. Love it! They are playing better than they did last season, and we all know how that turned out.
How last season turned out? Oh yeah! The team that played the best throughout the year struggled in the playoffs and eventually lost. The supposed best team in the NFC was beat at home in their playoff opener for the second straight season. The eventual Superbowl champion was a team that struggled initially and had some early season losses. They squeaked into the playoffs and had to play three road games to get to the Superbowl. There they got lucky with one of the most improbable catches ever and won.
I interpret that to mean the Packers will definitely be champs this year.[/quote]
You can call it luck or whatever you want, but the fact remains is that the Giants went out and WON all those games. You can’t take that away from them.
But, go ahead and keep diminishing their accomplishments. It’s clearly motivating them to play with a sense of urgency this year, and I love it.
Wow, the Seahawks were horrible. I think there is something in the air or water around here. If you are a sports team and located in Washington, chances are you are mediocre at best (I would kill for mediocre right now). Oh well, Basketball season is almost here, wait nevermind. At least I have 9 months of rain to look forward to.
Somebody talk me off the ledge, I’m about to jump.

PIT @ JAC - The Steelers are beat to shit. Doesn’t matter, because JAC’s O line is just as bad. The D shuts down the Jags and Ben makes 1 more play and 1 less mistake than Garrard, just the opposite of last year. PIT by 4

I called that one perfectly, except it was Ben making about 5 more plays than Garrard and 1 more mistake.
Has anyone noticed that the refs are calling personal fouls at an alarming clip this year? There were about 7-8 15 yd penalties last night. Ridiculous. I’d rather see the players talking trash incessantly than have a goddamned flag after every play. And these roughing the passer penalties have reached an unprecedented level of stupidity, from Terrell Suggs brushing Kerry Collins’ helmet to James Harrison hitting David Garrard in the waist precisely as he threw the ball. Without the flag on Suggs, Baltimore wins that game. Terrible.
