NFL 2011 discussion thread

Sorry Bills fan, but the Bengals were the first to beat them this season. Yes, the Bengals.

Dalton did not do well the first half, but stepped it up in the second.

 

I've always disliked the Cowboys, going all the way back to the Landry days. Watching that loser Romo throw 3 picks and blow a 24 point lead... priceless!

 

Maybe he needs to pretend to be hurt to play well?

Yeah I think when I was born the doc slapped me on the ass and told me "the Cowboy's are assholes... forget that and I'm going to find you and slap you again."

 

Wow, can't believe the Cowboys blew that lead.

HeHeHe.

I'm giving up on the Steelers sooner rather than later. What a mess. The Texans! The friggin' Texans!
*hates to admit her Steelers were totally outplayed*

 

I used to like the Steelers... a lot. When I was a kid one of my dad's co-workers son played for them. After reading two Roethlisberger's police reports on-line at snopes.com I can't find any respect for them as long as he's associated with the team.

Jets/Ravens looking like a wild game. Never been a huge Ravens fans, mainly due to how they ended up in Baltimore but I guess that's not the fans fault.

 

I hate the steelers and I hope the Ravens lose.

 

But the AFC North will all be 2-2-0. Bodes well for my Bengal.

 

Jets are showing life, they could own the 2nd half. I mean I thought Dallas was a lock when I walked out the to go get a bite. By the time my food order arrived they'd lost. And I'm still laughing.

 

I must say, this Packers team is pretty impressive looking... I'm a bit worried about the health of the O-Line, but other than that, no real complaints.

 

I don't have a dog in this fight, really don't care who wins just like to see a good game. The only time I'd be a fan of either team is if they were playing Dallas. Whomever is playing Dallas is my favorite team that day.

And I'd call any day Dallas implodes and loses 24 point lead is an awesome day.

I don't see any reason GB doesn't repeat this year and I hope they do. Unless they start having injury problems, their line-up is not that deep.

 

i dont think there is a more frustrating spectator position to be in than that occupied by folk who generally like the eagles.

 

Yep your team deserves a lot of credit for fighting back in the second half. Well done.
I'm not real happy with my Bills right now.

 

I don't know that the Cowboys so much imploded as the Lions are a really good second half team.

 

On another site I picked the Lions/Texans as my long shot Superbowl teams. Not getting as many laughs as I did preseason about the Lions. I keep waiting for them to return to their old ways. They've always had a way of finding just the right method to grab defeat away from almost certain victory. After yesterday I'm starting to think they may have enough fire to keep burning and turning out wins. Houston may too, plus with the Colts being what they are this year Houston seems to have an easier schedule. Next weeks Bears/Lions game will be very interesting

 

The Jets lose, Cowboys implode, and the Cards get screwed. It was a wild day in the NFL. The only thing that was consistent is that Miami still sucks.

I said a few years back to watch out for the Lions if they can find a QB who can lead and a defense that believes it can do something. I don't think they're all the way there, but they're getting close. The Jets are always over-rated and while I'm not a big Ravens fan, I loved watchin' em brutalize Sanchez.

Despite growling at Miami for a few hours, it was a good day -- Jets, Cowboys and Steelers losses always mean a good day. (If the Patsies would have lost too..it would have been a phenomenal day)

 

Romo tossed three pretty bad picks. Sure the Lions were putting a lot of pressure on him and their down field coverage was above average but when you're ahead 24 points you don't try to force BS like that. Because of that I'd say the Cowboys imploded more then the Lions played a better second half.
