Patriots 45-7 Rams

I'd kill to have both, or even just one of them in Pittsburgh on our D-line. Laurinitis? Coaching has been the downfall for that Team imho, and Fisher will return them to relevancy by next season.

I think I'm done supporting Sanchez. He's vastly inconsistent. I don't wanna pull the plug on him, because afterall he's playing without any good receivers, a crappy O-Line, and Shonn Greene is not very good. B-But I think it may be done for Sanchez. Is Tebow the answer? I dunno.

Good game Jags.

I like teams at play all four quarters, not play the first two and derp the last ones.

Also Steelers be trolling the 'Skins.

How 'bout them Seahawks? Oh yeah and who called the Dolphins to kill the Jets?? So far the only prediction I have gotten wrong this week is the Titan vs Colts game.

Was in town in Cleveland this week, decided to meet up with a few buddies and go the Browns-Chargers game. Damn, by half-time, I've never seen the place so abandoned in my life.

Kudos to everyone who stayed the whole game to watch it, it was a mess, but it was our mess! :p

And we beat the Chargers, only because they played worse than us, but hey, we beat them.

4-3 record and they could be 5-2 as they should've beaten the Jag in week 3.

Question, why are the Brown's in every Weekly poll? I love the Browns, but for the most part, we aren't watchable for most people. We're better than last year, but most people would of died watching the Chargers-Browns game today.

Tebow is the answer...

Right...if you want to completely screw you receivers and have even more interceptions thanks to a five-minute throwing motion.

Think Romo...only mopier when he screws up (insert "why god have you forsaken me" joke here)

Actually, Tim Tebow has greatly improved his throwing motion. Granted, he only threw 3 times, his bomb to Stephen Hill (Although dropped), was a fantastic throw. Even in the late preseason you could see that QB Coach Matt Cavanaugh has actually helped Tebow improve on his release.

Okay, so it's just 3 minutes instead of five. You still have to deal with Grossman-esque logic and being bracketed the second he decides to run.

I would but I think Lovie is still kissing his ass for saving his career yet again, and after that the talent scouts are waiting to do the same.

Seriously, how has the obvious problem eluded the entire Bears staff this entire time? IT"S THE FUCKING OFFENSIVE LINE THAT IS THE BIG GAP!

Garza, Carimi and Webb at the very least should have been gone a LONG time ago. They're too old and incompetent to effectively block anymore and yesterday displayed that in full. Jay is far and away a better caliber of quarterback than Grossman or Griese and has a stronger arm than Orton, but he doesn't look THAT much better because the goddamn pocket keeps folding like it's made out of cardboard. How can you expect a QB to operate when he's being constantly rushed, hurried and tagged like Jay is? I'm surprised he can slap together a coherent sentence after last year.

I'll admit it. I wanted Lovie to pull Cutler in favor of Campbell at halftime. Not because I didn't believe Cutler could lead a comeback - but because I was afraid he wouldn't be able to finish the game without getting injured.
