The Steelers-Vikings game had some of the most one-sided ref'ing I've ever seen and I'm obviously not the only that thought so because the NFL Network was also talking about 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.

:shock: A third pick for Cutler? What gives? Cutler is like Jekyll and Hyde, never know what you're gonna get with him. That doesn't bode well for a supposed franchise QB. Is he just in the wrong system in Chicago or what?

He has no chemistry with his receivers. Hester is in his second year ever as a wide receiver, Knox is a rookie, Bennett (who was a college teammate of Cutler) didn't catch but a few passes last year, Olsen plays like he has A.I.D.S. at times and Forte seems beat up from all of the work last year. I think Cutler will eventually have some really good targets once they're all on the same page, but that will be later this year or, most likely, next year.

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!

I know this week was set up for that, but week in and week out? I'm watching NBC's Football Tonight program right now (well, listening to it in the BG) and someone just said he can't remember a season where this many teams were this bad this late into the season...

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 :lol:

Saint John- I was screaming at the refs in the Pitt/ Gr Bay game! Seems like a few calls can ruin a game so certain teams win. The NFL has the tech to see if there are any patterns with refs & TV does a better job. People pay tons only to have a game ruined by a call or seeing another bad call to balance out the 1st blunder. It seems to have gotten worse in the last 10 yrs.

The replay on NFL Network clearly showed Harrison was able to, under his own power, dive at the last minute into Favre's knees after what may or may not have been holding. At the very least, there shouls have been offsetting penalties.

You simply saw this wrong. They replayed this on NFL Network and Harrison was hit in the thigh and they called this penalty the worst call of the day. There was no tripping in any way, shape or form. This call changed the game as the Vikings would have had the lead.

I didn't see the first half and the Harvin TD looked like a simple case of the Steelers feeding off of the last play and becoming evry undisiplined. EVERYONE for the Steelers left their "lanes" on that return. And I've never seen that "defensive delay of game" call ever...especially since no one moved! :lol: You always see guys jump across the line and get back...yet these jackholes called it on a huge 3rd and short when no one even moved. :?

Seriously, re-watching it, they were the right calls. Like I explained, that's what happened and the calls were made according to the rules. Harrison was held, big time, and his momentum took him low to the knees.. I wouldn't argue it if he came untouched and dove at Favre's knees, but he got held from behind and it was obvious. The tripping call was a submarine and his foot came up and hooked Harrison's. I don't see how that's unbiased, they were just calling the ruling on the field. I wish these highlights showed it the calls, but look at the kick return at 3:25 and 3:40, #17 Mike Wallace. Two guys are holding him and his body is about to break in half.

EDIT: Looking at it again, Dan's right. The angle I saw, the fullback lunged at Harrison's legs, and his leg caught his thigh if anything. The only reason why they called tripping was because when the fullback landed, his feet came in the air in a tripping motion. That's 100% judgmental call, but no it wasn't tripping re- watching from the angles, but you can see how it could of been called. Also, leg WHIPPING is illegal , and this was clearly a leg whip.

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...

Yeah, watching Palmer today, he was pinpoint the whole afternoon. I don't think he missed one ball that was not on the money with accuracy, and he had a couple dropped balls to boot. Johnson gave me nice fantasy points this week.

Kinda regret not starting him, though I won anyway. It would have helped with points scored.

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.

"Blowing a game" isn't enough. The other team has to capitalize on your mistakes and make plays to win the game!

Listen douche...I never claimed to know more than anyone about anything. I simply offer an opinion, and if you don't like my opinion, don't read it!

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? How exactly am I not "grounded in reality"?

StocktontoMalone wrote: Indy is the best team in NFL right now.


Maybe...maybe not! What I know to be factual is that both teams are 6-0. The Saints are averaging 40 points per game. The Colts are averaging 30 points per game. The Colts have defeated St. Louis, Jacksonville, Miami, Seattle, and Tennessee. Those are some AWFUL teams, and two of them haven't won a single game! The Cardinals are the only respectable team the Colts have played. Conversely, the only really awful team the Saints have played is Detroit. I think they're both good teams, but I can judge the Saints a bit more favorably, simply based on the level of competition they've played.

Houston at Buffalo - Matt Schaub continues rolling. Houston by 10

Cleveland at Chicago - I've already predicted Cleveland to win once this season (and they did), so I've met my quota. Chicago by 14


Seattle at Dallas - Dallas is a much better team than Seattle and wins this one by three touchdowns!

St. Louis at Detroit - Welcome to the "Who Cares Bowl"! This will probably be the Rams' only opportunity to win this entire season. God help the people who live in either one of these markets and are forced to watch this HORRENDOUS matchup between two Pop Warner teams! Rams by 3!

Denver at Baltimore - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** Based on how poorly Baltimore is playing and how superbly the Broncos are playing, this is a MORONIC pick. That said, this is the NFL and goofy shit happens EVERY week! Baltimore by 7.

San Francisco at Indianapolis - The Colts are on a roll but haven't played ANYONE! San Francisco is in a big time slide. I think this game ends up being a whole lot closer than people think and I wouldn't be stunned to see SF pull it off. That said, I'm taking the Colts by 7.

Miami at NY Jets - I think the Jets get their revenge. That blowhard Rex Ryan is probably calling all of the dopey Jets fans and begging for support like he did against the Patriots. Jets by 10.

NY Giants at Philadelphia - Probably the matchup of the day. Eagles by 3.

Jacksonville at Tennessee - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** Titans get their first win and beat the Jaguars by 3.

Oakland at San Diego - Oakland SUCKS! Chargers by 3 touchdowns!

Carolina at Arizona - Cardinals are simply too good for Carolina. Cardinals by 17.

Minnesota at Green Bay - Favre makes some mistakes in his return home and the Packers win by 10!


MON, NOV 2
Atlanta at New Orleans - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** Reggie Bush is already talking to the media about going undefeated (what a fucking moron). Considering the Saints aren't even halfway through their season, I think they (i.e. Bush) just put a whole lot more pressure on their team. The Saints are a much better team than Atlanta but I'm picking Atlanta to pull it out by a field goal!

Houston at Buffalo - Houston is a team to watch out for, esp for a Wild Card. Unfortunatly for them, the AFC is stacked. Shaub is high flying right now, and ends Buffalo's 2 game win streak. Houston by 14.

Cleveland at Chicago - Same thing as the Eagles game last week. The Bears are returning home after being embarrassed by Cinci the week before, and will NOT let the same thing happen against the hapless Clowns. Chicago by 17.

Seattle at Dallas - Dallas is coming off a big week against the Falcons, and a win against the Seahawks will keep them in the mix for the time being. Dallas by 13.

St. Louis at Detroit - Detroit by 4.

Denver at Baltimore - Denver is due to drop one, and Baltimore could be that place that hands them their first loss. Balty is desperate, but I feel Denver's defense is set out to win this one, and Orton is good enough to handle the pressure of a so-so Baltimore D. Denver by 8.

San Francisco at Indianapolis - Manning ATLEAST faces a tougher task this week than past weeks. Singleterry will come up with packages to try to get to & pressure Manning, but Peyton will be Peyton and out gun an over aggresive 9'er defense. Alex Smith loves Vernon Davis, but it IS Alex Smith, and look for the Indy D to dial up many sacks. Colts by 11.

Miami at NY Jets - Another great matchup. The Dolphins stole one early in the season from one of the games of the year, and the Jets pretty much NEED this win to compete with N.E during the final stretch. Miami is TONS better than what their record indicates, but this division is a battle between the Jets and Pats. Jets by 6.

NY Giants at Philadelphia - The gloves are off for this one. Philly is back on track and is looking to prove they can take down a division rival. The Giants can't go on a 3 game losing streak, can they? Giants by 10.

Jacksonville at Tennessee - Jacksonville by 13.

Oakland at San Diego - Oakland is the shit underneath the Chargers cleats. Chargers by 23.

Carolina at Arizona - Cards are a HOT team at the moment, while the ailing Panthers search for answers for next season. Cards by 12.

Minnesota at Green Bay - UPSET: The Pack will be fired up along side THEIR QB Aaron Rodgers in THEIR house that Favre built. Favre's emotion throughout will show, and the Pack split the series 1-1 and hold their ground against a Favre led Vikings. Packers by 6.

MON, NOV 2
Atlanta at New Orleans - Atlanta showed HEAVY problems against the Cowboys offense. What do you think Brees could do against a patchy defense lthat got shredded by Tony Romo and Miles Austin? Saints by 17.

That's actually an optimistic prediction of DA's total passing yards on the day.

Houston at Buffalo - Houston

Cleveland at Chicago - Chicago

Seattle at Dallas - Dallas

St. Louis at Detroit - Detroit

Denver at Baltimore - Baltimore. Kyle Orton's due to make some mistakes

San Francisco at Indianapolis - Indy

Miami at NY Jets - Miami in a must-win.

NY Giants at Philadelphia - NY

Jacksonville at Tennessee - Tenn.

Oakland at San Diego - SD

Carolina at Arizona - Arizona

Minnesota at Green Bay - GB

Atlanta at New Orleans - NO

Really a pretty underwhelming set of games this week. Denver/Balt, GB/Minn, and maybe Miami/NY look to be potential classics. Giants/Eagles might be good, but I kinda doubt it.
