I like the Lions. I guess mostly because they seem to have been underdogs for so long, much like the Saints. So I will also root for them.

Until December 4th, that is. Then I want the Saints to steam roll them into next season.

Scarab Sages

Well, the Saints gave it a good try last night, but the Packers were just playing better. Congrats to them. Still, both teams looked pretty decent.


The two potential break-out teams this year are the Bills and the Lions. Last year they did not give up very many games without making their opponents earn it. If these teams do not at least break into wild card berths this year, expect them to next year.


Today is the big day... WE ARE........!

Tomorrow is the bigger day.


GEAUX TIGERS!!!!


Terrible, terrible football weekend, in NCAA, Pro, and fantasy. (the steelers couldnt cover ANYBODY.......except Lee Evans aka my flex starter)

Lion beat Buc's; but wish the Lions weren't so whoosi in the fourth quarter; on first down on that last drive; just one; and they would have been in feild goal range and sealed the finish on this game. They gave the Buc's two chances to score, man that is not long term winning approach. Looked like they were sitting back on their laurels and just protecting the ball trying to run the clock out; that has bitten them in the butt more than once and almost did again. Other than that; they played so much better than other years.; woot go Lions.


+1 to that. Megatron was a bright spot in the fantasy team.

Also, I'm interested in how the Steeler's respond to the massive beatdown they just suffered. Hopefully they can get it together.


E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!

Good start to the season. My girlfriend is a Skins fan and we were at the Skins-Giants game yesterday. Good game. I love to see the G-men lose almost as much as I enjoyed seeing the Dallas Cowboys give their game away to the Jets. Nice going! Best possible outcome this weekend for this Birds fan.

How come you never see a team with a llama for a mascot?

Also: GEAUX TIGERS!!!

But, damn, that offense is like Jekyl and Hyde.

Awesome game today LSU. Just the thing to help pass the time on a lazy Sunday morning.

Liberty's Edge

Hey! The Panthers won for the first time in what seems like forever!

Cam Newton is a welcome addition to the team.


Cowboys Vs Redskins tonight..I only hope that the guys can pull it together this year.At least its at home..


Lions now 3-0 whoot. Will the worm turn; or we will turn the Cowboys into kitty food.

The Colts are 0-3 and the Lions are 3-0, what sort of bizzare alternate universe did I wake up in?

The Badgers are 4-0 and the Packers are 3-0, season seems to be going well so far.


Tigers are 5-0 after crushing Kentucky! WOOT!


I just want to congratulate LSU for their imminent victory over Florida next weekend.


Go FLAMENGO.....


Steelers. Ugh. Just ugh.

Liberty's Edge

It looks like the Panthers' story this season is:

"To win, we must outscore our opponents, because we cannot stop anyone from scoring on us."

And it turns out to be "both", depending on the half, but scoring 31-3 in the second half overcomes scoring 3-27 in the first.

Lions 4-0, and Tony Romo gets the Lions' MVP award for two major touchdown passes.

Watched the Bills/Bengals game as they broadcast it here in Japan - which was around 2 am. My contractors are all from Buffalo, so they are huge fans. Luckily, we've all been working nights and would have been up anyway.

We watched it in the lobby of the hotel, and the hookers kept coming up to the window to try and get our.....attention. Sebastian would have loved it.


The Lions are 5-0.

Maybe the world is going to end in 2012. Heralded by the Lions going 16-0 in the regular season and then winning the Superbowl.

Lions winning like this is awesome!

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 4, RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32

Not a Lions fan, but I've got to be happy for a fanbase that has suffered through a lot of bad seasons. Enjoy the winning, folks.


Steelers got back to playing like the Steelers.

Also Megatron is unstoppable. And how about the folding that Philly is currently doing? They very well may be in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. And how about the Niner's beatdown? (Gah I started Josh Freeman on my fantsy team!)

Max Starks looked so much better then I thought he would. I guess it would have been hard for the o-line to look worse, but still, pleasnt surprise.

Also, I'm a big fan of the Suck for Luck! campaign. It adds another layer of intrigue to the season. I'm currently routing for the Dolphins.

A funny snippet from a website that I frequent: "If the Colts get to 0-14, will Bill Polian rest his starters?"


I am completely convinced that Pitt needs to start letting some of the older guys go. I dont think its coincidence that the Run D looked way better without Aaron Smith, James Harrison, or Casey Hampton in. Sacreligous, I know. Aaron Smith has always been my favorite Steeler, but i think its time for the new blood to step up.

Can't say I disagree with you, though I don't know how much younger Hoke is than Hampton. Heyward looked pretty impressive, he was in the Titan's backfield as often as I've seen any of our D-lineman this year. Hood has been really solid.

Not sure how I feel about this yet. The Steelers have always been so good at getting rid of guys when they're about to get old, I'm having a hard time second guessing them now..

Philly being 1-4 = happy zombie!

I believe, (and I very well may be wrong) that Hoke is actually a year older than Casey. But far far fresher and I would imagine in much better conditioning. I really cant imagine Big Snack has a lot in his gas tank. 8p. And about Heyward and Hood, I completely agree. They definitly opened my eyes up. At the very least they have earned more playing time in my eyes.

I wonder how much of knowing just when to get rid of people was Cowher and how much was Kevin Colbert?

It looks like the 49ers are back! Go Niners!

Scarab Sages

Sadly, I cannot share your sentiment. Not only were the 49ers once division rivals to my beloved Saints, but they recently ended the winning streak of those lovable losers, the Lions. That, plus the fact they're from the evil hellhole that is California, earns the team my undying hatred.

I can't believ the Raiders let Carson Palmer play when he had only memorized 15 plays. Say what you want about Al Davis, I doubt he would have let this happen.

In hindsight, the Raiders should have let him play the whole game. I doubt he could have stunk it up as bad as Boller.


No LSU football this weekend. :(

However, next weekend is the big National Championship game against Bama! WOOT! GEAUX TIGERS!

Probably true, but still I don't see how you can tell a guy all week that he has to suit up but won't play and they shove him in at the start of the third quarter and expect any kind of results.

I agree. Put him in at the beginning of the game or don't put him in at all.

Totally. After all, this is superstar quarterback Carson Palmer, he probably could have pulled something off if he had known he was going to play.

Just like he never did at Cincinatti? 8p

Stupid Saints cost me big yesterday. My fantasy football team lost to the only winless team in the league because of them.

LSU vs Bama coming up! Woohoo!! This game should decide which team wins the BCS Championship!

And congrats to Stanford for passing up those posers at Schmoise State in the polls.


For all my ranting and b*&#hing at my tv every saturday, PSU is surprisingly 8-1.

And its about time Steeler corners started playing a little tight. The soft zone behind the pass rush has gotten a little stale in the last 20 years. Suck it, Tom Brady.
