Impressive game by the Browns, Matty ...primarily Brown ...great job by Mccoy, as well!! :wink:


Really? Going 9-16 for 74 yards and 0 touchdowns? Haha. The Browns picked off Brees 4 times. Browns victory was all about their D. That fake punt was AWESOME! Expect the Brownies to do more of that, they got nothing to lose and the Browns are that "bad-okay" team that could give teams fits.


Sorry ...had to touch and go!! oops ...I meant Bowen, although, Brown played well!!
I'm not stupid, of course it was a "D" win!!
That doesn't change the fact that I'm impressed w/the young rookie ...he's been thrown to the
wolves and he's handling it quite well. Was this an awe inspiring game for him?!?! No!! :wink:

Matt took my post wrong and I hope he sees my reply because he'd be the first person to say that I gave CLE credit, ESP with the McCoy pick. McCoy is now a professional and a first round draft pick and I expected him to be the best QB of his class so it's no surprise to me that McCoy can manage a game in the NFL. I wasn't coming down on McCoy, just stating that he's hardly the reason they won, if not at ALL.

I don't think the Saints are that good of a team and I don't think that we'll be seeing the Browns in Dallas when February rolls around. That said, the Browns will eventually get better. Most teams in the NFL ultimately do improve. Eventually, if you suck for enough years, you're going to have a whole lot of high draft picks who can't help but make your team better. Hell, the Raiders scored 59 freakin' points today, so I give up trying to predict what is going to happen in the NFL this season!

Very well stated. I actually said the same thing. I'm in weekly polls at work and I'm as baffled as EVER this year in picking the pickems and might give it up and save 5 bucks a week. The NFL is always hard to pin-point, but this season truly is a struggle in finding a way to a winning ball club weekly. It literally is amazing.

Yeah, unless you're the Bengals. I know they've seen SOME success over the years, but they are consistently in the top 10 in draft picks, esp in the mid-late 90's so it's hilarious to see them pick BUST after BUST after BUST. A front office and personal department can't be THAT bad, can they? Atleast the Browns were an expansion team going into the new millennium. :shock:

On another note, I hope all of you Favre ball washers are watching this fucking clown. How anyone can watch this guy play and actually believe that he's the best QB...or even in the top 5 of all time is fucking laughable. This fucking fraud is an accident waiting to happen and has been for most of his career. The play where Matthews was ready to sack him and Favre just underhanded the ball straight up in the air is the classic example of why I have zero respect for this guy as a QB. It's all about him and getting the attention. Good (and I mean just good...not great) QB's don't make moronic throws like this guy makes game after game. I've been calling this clown out for most of his career and love nothing more than watching him try like hell to give away every game!

I'm with you John.

I think this game might be the end of Favre for good. Playoff prospects not looking great and he is obviously older than ever this year. I see him blaming the ankle he was milking for attention at the end there and riding off into the sunset, especially with these penis texting allegations still lurking. I see some familial issues in his future as well. Wonder how Randy moss feels not being on the 5-1 Pats anymore?

Travis, I'll reply to you tomorrow - too fucking tired right now!

Everyone knows your stance on Favre, but how can you NOT love that throw to Harvin in the back of the end-zone? It couldn't of been anymore pinpoint. If Harvin gets his second foot down, Minny wins and Favre is heroic. Where's Greg Lewis when you need him?

On the other hand, isn't it illegal to take your helmet off at any time? Matthews threw his helmet off during a play. Shouldn't that be unsportsmanlike conduct? Or is that after a touchdown/end game celebration?

The offensive lineman jammed him in the facemask and dislodged his chinstrap from his chin. Notice it was still buckled. It was basically just sitting atop his head, he pushed it off rather stopping unbuckling, putting it back on and rebuckling during the play. Watch it again.

Although I thought they were supposed to blow the play dead when a helmet comes off.

I did, his chinstrap was over his mouth, it would have been easier to just grab his helmet and push it back down with his facemask while running than being dramatic and throw his helmet off. Getting your chin-strap pushed up to your mouth happens all the time haha.

How does that official look at Harvin come down with one foot completely out of bounds and signal touchdown. What a joke. Thank God for instant replay.

That was a painful game to watch for a number of reasons. The Packers are going to be crushed next week, esp with the Jets coming off a bye and playing in NY. As much as I despise Favre now, I do hate to see him hurt, and he was really hurtin'. But I agree, he might not come back - he was only listed as probable up until game time on their website yesterday and this will give him a reason to get out semi-gracefully.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

That's just one more reason I loathe this fucking guy. He supposedly has a catostrophic injury EVERY freakin' week of the NFL season and almost has to be carried off the field and shows up the next week like nothing ever happened. It's THE REASON he's the biggest fraud in the history of the NFL. I get the fact that Favre comes across as a likable guy during interviews and don't even disagree with that. But...when you actually watch this guy play, the "legend" doesn't come close to matching reality. I honestly don't know how the biggest Favre supporters in the world and not watch this guy and completely lose their fucking mind with the endless moronic throws he makes.

I saw that play a bit different. If you noticed the Vikings player who he was approaching right before his helmet came off, it was the same Vikings player who grabbed his face mask and threw him to the ground on the previous play. I think Matthews may well have pulled his own helmet off as a message to the guy who chose to rip him down by his face mask. If that's the case, then it is absolutely a penalty. Remember, this is a league where officials can't get basic calls right, like a fumble recovery in the end zone, so asking them to watch who pulled whose helmet off is definitely not happening.

Self destruct in the first half because one of their receivers forgets this is the NFL, not college and add to that a hokey kickoff trick that backfires on them. The Patriots, who are playing with smoke and mirrors as far as I'm concerned leave the door open by not really capatilizing on any of the mayhem the Bolts are inflicting on themselves.
Despite four S.D. turnovers, the script is already written for another Bolt meltdown. Come all the way back because the defense is playing lights out only to have an offside call push your kicker back to the 50 (a guy who wasn't even signed last week) and CLANK!!, off the goalpost.

When it came to late 4th quarter comebacks, Rivers used to win these type of games last year. Now, It seems the law of averages has finally caught up with him.


The Chargers are an atrocious team. Norv Turner and Wade Phillips are the same exact guy and how either one of these guys has a job is beyond me. If you're a Chargers fan, you have to be out of your mind that they lost that game. The Patriots (and Brady) played AWFUL yesterday. One of the worse performances in a very long time by the Patriots. The Patriots tried like hell to give that game away and the Chargers are just too stupid of a team to win. I mean...how the hell does a receiver who hasn't even been touched by anyone put the ball on the field and allow the Patriots to pick the ball up? How does your QB throw an obvious backwards pass, miss his receiver, and yet nobody on the Chargers sees fit to pick the ball up? Then, with the game on the line, they have a false start penalty on what was already a long 45 yard FG and not close to automatic, and move their kicker back to a 50 yard attempt? They are a horrendously coached team with ZERO discipline (just like Dallas). The Patriots have to feel VERY fortunate that they won that game, given just how awful their offense was. If that was a good team yesterday, the Patriots would have lost by 30!

By the way Travis...I heard an interview with Ken Laird from 93.7 "The Fan" in Pittsburgh who was on a Boston sports show last night. The host of the show asked Ken what his thoughts were on the ruling of the fumble recovery on the Roethlisberger fumble, and his exact quote was "The refs blew the call and Miami got screwed"! It's nice to see someone in Pittsburgh is actually objective and a fan of seeing that the right call is made, whether it's good for your team or bad for your team.

I'm not saying it's right. It's obviously a fucked up situation that I've never seen before. I already pointed out that the back-line judge signaled a touchdown too pre-maturely and it started with the call on the field (look at the Vikings game the ref was actually standing 2 ft away from Harvin while his right foot landed 2ft out of bounds and he still signals touchdown.)

You can see what the back judge was looking at, in game speed it looks like Roeth breaks the plain, but from that angle you can't tell the ball is lodged because his body was shielding the defender. It is what it is, I literally sat there before the ruling and came up exactly what the refs ruled. I texted my buddy and said "the ball is without a doubt out, but the ruling on the field was that it was a touchdown and the scuffle wasn't determined on the field with who came up with the football so that would be 4th and goal, right?"

It is what it is, I still don't get how that call determined a permanent W or L because it didn't. If the refs really wanted to screw Miami why wouldn't they just call a touchdown and rule the fumble inconclusive? They fucked up, got confused and made the call because no ref signaled Pitt OR Mia ball in live play.

Miami had plenty of time to go down and win the game so it wasn't back-breaking but it sure forced Miami to get into field goal range rather than work the clock because the Steelers had 2:20 to work with & 3 timeouts. If the Dolphins would of got into FG range like they did last week in O.T with 1:20 left and kicks the game winning FG, this wouldn't even be an issue. I'm just calling it the way the refs explained it.

The best quote on a Miami Dolphins board I've ever seen and laughed my ASS off:
"I hope Ben rapes that refs wife."



Be happy fucker you politically correct bastard, an AFC EAST team lost. :lol:

Just as I predicted, Brett boy is giving himself an out when he wants to quit early this season.

Just so I'm clear, I never claimed any conspiracy theory that the officials had it in for Miami. I simply said they completely fucked up the play. Sure, you can make the argument that if Miami came away with more than two field goals off of two of Pittsburgh's turnovers that they could have won the game, but it doesn't change the fact that the officials fucked up. At the end of the day, the Steelers got the win and good for them. It just drives me crazy when the officals blow such big calls in a game.

I believe that if it was up to Favre and if the media circus and the pressure of his coach and teammates wouldn't of coaxed and forced him to come back for one more season, then I think Favre knew he was done. I think he wouldn't of came back if Allen and company wouldn't of showed up at his doorstep, un-announced and wanted a decision on a spot. Favre wanted to play, but deep down he knew he wouldn't of come back. He really didn't make a big deal about this season and kept mum, it was the media and critics who did all the "Favre watch" bullshit.

The kind of competitor Favre is and the football guy he is, it was probably easy for them to talk him out of retirement cause he probably felt forced and obligated but his shoulder was fucked, his ankles were fucked and his body was fucked. Add in this allegation trial and you have one big disaster that could be avoided. If Favre does end of packing it in early, this would be the worst case scenario to end his career. He came back so he had the opportunity to go out in grace, but it's turning out to be a sad ending.

I know, it's a shame. There's nothing worse than controversy. It's been happening in the NFL forever and there will be more to come. That's the nature. Ed Hocculi went from the best ref to the worst all in 2 weeks time in '08.

Like I said, I'd rather have the scenario as a Steelers fan for the refs to anoint the Dolphins the ball at the 20 and then let the game play out the way it usually plays out, which should of could have been the Steelers stopping Miami, and having a chance to win it themselves in regulation rather than have a controversial call. The refs have a job to do as well, they kicked the shit out of the situation but I believe for the sake of themselves, had no choice but to rule the way they ruled because they fucked up the scuffle in live play.

This is the classic Favre ball washing comment. Fucking hilarious. You do realize that your fraud boy QB is the one who has been doing an annual "retirement tour" for the past 5 seasons, right? He could have ended it all at ANY time by simply coming out and saying "I'm done" (even though given his track record of being completely full of shit, nobody probably would have taken him seriously). The reality is the Favre is a complete fucking attention whore who cannot stand to not have the spotlight on him. He knew that if he told the media "I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet", that it would keep the spotlight on him for as long as possible. I honestly can't believe that anyone would want this guy on their team. Green Bay did the right thing when they sent this guy packing!

It looks like the reincarnation of Jeff George in Minnesota. Strong arm QB who thinks that his gun will get him in out of trouble every single play.
32 interception returns for touch downs over Brett's career.
Favre's good play/bad play ratio seems to have went from around 70/30 to about 30/70.
Just cut the guy and hope for a good draft.

AWESOME outcome of Vikings/Packers game... did not watch... at EAGLES concert... AWESOME show by the way... and to add... I bet last nights game was probably one of the most satisfying victories in a very long time, being a Packer player, coach and fan... to beat your old stud QB...has got to leave a great taste for the rest of the year moving forward... one more thing, the NFC sucks really bad this year...

Self destruct in the first half because one of their receivers forgets this is the NFL, not college and add to that a hokey kickoff trick that backfires on them. The Patriots, who are playing with smoke and mirrors as far as I'm concerned leave the door open by not really capatilizing on any of the mayhem the Bolts are inflicting on themselves.
Despite four S.D. turnovers, the script is already written for another Bolt meltdown. Come all the way back because the defense is playing lights out only to have an offside call push your kicker back to the 50 (a guy who wasn't even signed last week) and CLANK!!, off the goalpost.

When it came to late 4th quarter comebacks, Rivers used to win these type of games last year. Now, It seems the law of averages has finally caught up with him.


The Chargers are an atrocious team. Norv Turner and Wade Phillips are the same exact guy and how either one of these guys has a job is beyond me. If you're a Chargers fan, you have to be out of your mind that they lost that game. The Patriots (and Brady) played AWFUL yesterday. One of the worse performances in a very long time by the Patriots. The Patriots tried like hell to give that game away and the Chargers are just too stupid of a team to win. I mean...how the hell does a receiver who hasn't even been touched by anyone put the ball on the field and allow the Patriots to pick the ball up? How does your QB throw an obvious backwards pass, miss his receiver, and yet nobody on the Chargers sees fit to pick the ball up? Then, with the game on the line, they have a false start penalty on what was already a long 45 yard FG and not close to automatic, and move their kicker back to a 50 yard attempt? They are a horrendously coached team with ZERO discipline (just like Dallas). The Patriots have to feel VERY fortunate that they won that game, given just how awful their offense was. If that was a good team yesterday, the Patriots would have lost by 30!


I'm not a Chargers fan and was happily enjoying that blacked out games were Keeping them off of T.V. here in L.A. while we got the best games of the week it seems. Unfortunately, the transplanted patriot fans saw to it that this game sold out and the NFL wants so badly for Los Angeles to adopt this team as our own so I was stuck with it being the only afternoon game available, locally.
As much as I detest Rivers, the guy really is great QB and if he had any offensive line at all, Los Cargadores would probably be 5-2 instead of 2-5.
Luckily, the Chargers have Norv Turner so all is right with the world.

What are the odds that Favre doesn't start next week, thus snapping his streak on his own before the Commissioner does?

YOUNG JRNY- You beat me to it with the Bengals. As long as this city has Mike Brown as owner and GM nothing good can happen. What a waste AGAIN, of 3 hrs. Poor Carson ! He threw for over 400 yds and 3 TD's and still loses to fumbles and penalties. As Cunningham said today, the Bengals need to learn how to count to 11 in order to have that many on the field.

Anybody see that WORTHLESS piece of turd of a quarterback named Jay Cutler and his post game press conference?! The guy loses games for his team more often than he wins them and turns in 4 INT performances routinely. He threw 4 INTS, A-L-L to cornerback DeAngello Hall. Yes, that's right. 4 of them to the same guy. Instead of wallowing in his own disgusting excuse of a QB, he says the following:

"I've played against Hall before and I see no reason not to go after him every time. I know it's hard to say that after throwing 4 interceptions, but if we play tomorrow, I wouldn't shy away from going after him all day."

Someone needs to shut this fat fucks mouth by pissing in his shampoo bottle and force feed it to him after that comment. This dude portrays the worst leader and the biggest crybaby in all that I've ever seen at the position and his act isn't fooling me. What a tool. If the Bears had any sense, they'd drop this low life and head in a different direction but the Cutler era in football is disgraceful judging the hype around the guy.

Perhaps the Bears should trade for Hall and convert him into a WR? Maybe Cutler will complete more of his passes that way.
