There are ALWAYS weeks like this in the NFL. If you look at the matchups this weekend, it was definitely setup for it. You had the undefeated Colts going against the hapless and winless Rams. The Patriots didn't even play that well today and still completely dismantled a bad Bucs team. You had the Packers against an awful Browns team. The Chargers (who aren't even that good) against a far worse Chiefs team. Absolutely ridiculously, lopsided matchups today. Honestly, in spite of my Chiefs upset pick (and believe me when I tell you...I only picked that because I think the Chargers are a gutless team), the only real blowout that surprised me today was the Bengals over the Bears. The Bears better find some receivers in a hurry because a kick return guy like Hester and Earl Bennett aren't going to cut it!

Favre gets his knees blasted at and not only do they blow the call, but they also call holding on the offensive lineman. Now the defensive lineman was pushed toward Favre, but he also lunged at the very last second on his own. That wiped out a pretty big play. Then, a sideline pass where Sidney Rice clearly leaves two dirt clouds in bounds and he's called out. Thankfully, the guys upstairs weren't dumbfucks like the guys on the field.
Another beauty was some bullshit defensive delay of game against the Vikings on 3rd and less than 5 for Pitt. The announcers even acknowledged that no one on defense even moved. The last and most disgusting call was the "tripping" call on Minny's tight end who made a great block on a blitzer. That would have given Minnesota the lead, but the zebras blew yet another call. This one wasn't even close to tripping and the NFL Netweok called it the worst call of the day. I would have liked to have seen some fair officiating in that game because it was a helluva game. Sadly, the refs totally blew it...at times making up calls that weren't even there.

The play where Favre got hit into the knees was a holding on Harrison, and the hold caused Harrison's momentum to run into Favre. The tripping call was a play, again on Harrison, where the left tackle dove and submarined at Harrison's knee's, Harrison went to jump over it and the tackles foot came up and hit Harrison's foot, taking him out of the play. The sideline pass was called out because when viewing that game speed, it sure as hell looked out, but Rice made a helluva grab to keep his feet in. That's what they replay's for and it was overturned.
If you want to point out those, how about pointing out that terrible offensive pass interference call on Heath Miller in the first QRT on Santonio Holme's TD catch. Not only was it away from the play, but Heath got blocked within the 5 yards by the Vikings defender, INTO both I think it was Ward, and the Vikes corner, wiping out the 6. We settled for 3. On the kickoff return for a TD, go back and look at it, I bet you can count atleast 4 solid holds right in plane view. It went both ways. I didn't see much wrong in what they saw. Judgment happens.

Game wasn't on TV here but on NBC they were just talking about how horrendous the officiating was in that game against the Vikes. Now, that might be the typical NFL sportscasters Brett Favre manlove showing through, but still... you ain't exactly an unbiased observer in this situation here, either

83% with 5 TD's. Outstanding performance by Palmer. If he has a few more games like that in him, the Bengals might actually have to be taken seriously. I'm not sold on them yet. We'll see what November brings.

His accuracy was unbelievable today. Just a classic case of everything going right for them today.
As for Cutler, if he's ever to be the franchise QB we hear he's going to be, he needs to get more consistent. I know he doesn't have much to work with in terms of receivers right now, but still...

Agreed! SUPERB comeback by the Saints. They're the number one team in the NFL right now and Brees is the MVP!

Again, since Brees doesn't play defense he had nothing to do with the Phin's implosion.....Miami blew that game. And let's not spout off about how much you know about football, or how long you've been a fan....We've ALL been watching it since we were young, and we all know just as much as you. Some of us are just more grounded in reality.....![]()
P.S. - The Saints are a great team. Indy is the best team in NFL right now.

You and you're "This team blew it" comments and not really giving credit to the team that wins. Yes, Miami was up big, but guess what? Playing 30 minutes of football isn't going to win you a football game. A lot of things go into a gameplan, and adjustments are a big part. The Dolphins simply couldn't stop what the Saints had ready for them in the second half and as a team you always got to keep Brees and the offense in check for 60 minutes or they WILL scorch you. The Dolphins didn't have an answer, while the Saints did and made a tremendous and impressive comeback. The Saints took and won that game pretty convincingly in the midst of a great first half performance by Miami as well as turnovers.
