Man. If we get more of the Tampa Bay team that played Carolina, Atlanta, and SF, they could—am I really saying this right now?—be playoff contenders.

I say that not just because those are the Bucs' three wins so far, but because they played strong games in two of them and a resilient one in the third.

We haven't beaten Seattle since 2011. We could do it, we're playing at home, but if we want to win, it's gonna be a long, dirty fight to pull it off.

Thank you. The upside is it seems your Offense has not been high-flying as of recently. The downside is our Defense couldn't hold a kitten from breaking past, and if they did they'd find aome way to get a PI call first, it seems. Though I still feel a few of the PI calls they call are bogus. >.<

Would be sweet if the Broncos lost tonight. Not likely since the Texans ain't any good but ya never know.

We'd be two wins ahead of everyone in the AFC except Oakland and Houston.

I have to say, the Ben-less Steelers didn't look terrible against New England. Had Ben been in, we might have had a chance to win. So you know what? I realize moral victories don't get you to the playoffs, but I'm happy with how they performed. And the good thing is, we can't lose to the bye week. I'm hoping we only have to play one or two more games before Roethlisberger is back in there.

The game was a lot closer than I expected.

As for our game, KC opponents were averaging 13.5 points in Arrowhead, and we scored 21. So our Offense certainly broke through, just not quite enough to take the win.

This is news?

It seems more so of a mishandling by the Giants upper management. Or they themselves may not care, just as Goodell doesn't care. They should, it's their product to lose, but I mean, the problem is if things go downhill for them, they can basically just sell the team and leave the mess in someone else's hands. Ugh.

It's not recent, so they should've reported it when it surfaced inside of the organization. Goodell's also at fault for the lenient punishment, since domestic violence is domestic violence no matter how you slice it.

Yeah, offense hasn't been great. Defense clearly was if the low scoring game last night is anything to go off of.
