Dolphins won, Jets lost.

I'm happy.

Just a final word from myself about the call against the Lions last Sunday. The very same call was used against the Bears in a Lions/Bears game in 2004, resulting in a Bears loss. I'm including a quote, below, from the Bears web page.

Quote:             "
Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy that the Bears won their opener. But how could that Calvin Johnson catch not be ruled a touchdown? Didn’t he get both of his feet down with possession of the ball? It seems to me that the Lions got robbed.

Lions receiver Calvin Johnson did get both feet down in the end zone with possession of the ball, but the rule requires the receiver to maintain possession of the ball “throughout the process of the catch.” If the receiver goes to the ground, that process is not considered complete until he finishes rolling on the ground. Some may question whether the rule is a good one, but there’s no doubt that referee Gene Steratore made the correct call on the play late in Sunday’s game. It’s actually a rule that has cost the Bears on two previous occasions I can think of. In a 2004 loss at Detroit, Bernard Berrian would have given the Bears the lead late in the game with a 43-yard touchdown reception from Chad Hutchinson. In that scenario, the official ruled that the pass was incomplete because the ball moved. I watched the replay of that catch several times today and I still haven’t seen the ball move. Early in the fourth quarter of a 2008 game against the Saints, Brad Maynard threw a pass over the middle to Adrian Peterson on a fake punt. Peterson caught the ball with both feet on the ground and was tackled. It wasn’t until after he hit the ground that the ball popped loose. The play was ruled an incomplete pass. The Bears challenged the call, but it was upheld after a replay review.

Great game lsat night, Vick named started for this week.

Smart move

St. Louis won!!! 

After two very close games we finally get our win

The NFL is a bit of a muddle right now.
The Chiefs 3-0
chargers 1-2

The Saints looking beatable even for the lesser teams, you have manning putting up great numbers but the colts are scoring well on offense, the same goes for Orton and the Bronco's who is on track for a 5000 + yards season.
The Patriots look ordinary and the Lions are looking not to bad at all. You have the seahawks who one week look like playoff contenders then the next 1st draft pick hopefuls.
Its all just wrong lol.

Bears over Green Bay.. Very good game..
Monday nighter. 

It's great to finally see my Chiefs doing good after all of the non-years they've had lately.
You'll be hearing alot about McCluster,you see.
I especially like Flowers on defense. I predict a Pro Bowl for that guy. The whole defense is starting to come around.
What looked like a 7 and nine year actually looks alot better then that. I say 10 and six,possibly 11 and 5.
It's better than 10 wins in 3 years. Their draft picks are panning-out and it's a very promising future for my team.
Now if they could only get a better QB.

You have a great QB on the bench by the name of Croyle. Unfortunately they have never given him a chance to show what he can do. I was hoping the Bronco's would have taken him over Cutler. Big arm, but doesn't make the same stupid throws as Jay did. Give him the team now and I think they would really become a dangerous opponent. Right now though, once you get that running game stopped, I just dont see Cassel beating anyone. To bad the running game is rather good 

One more Patriot field goal will make it a 3+ TD game - so it will be over in a few minutes.

Rams playing the Lions tommorow. Looking good for them to go 3-2! 

There saying the Rams could make the playoffs this year because our division is the worst in the NFL and we are first place in our division. 

The only threat in the NFC West was the 49ers and look how they are playing...

KC lost.  You know what that means.



One more year!

44-6 to the second worst team in the NFL.

That's more than Detroit scored all of last year.

Did the Rams even show up?

Do we have any Cowgirls fans here?

Because I just want to be the first to say

Didnt watch any football this weekend because of a hockey tourney. But I did see the Rams lost by 1...

Every loss is because of a ref....

Of course, nothing to do with Cutler throwing 4 interceptions to DeAngelo Hall. And even after that still saying he'd throw that way all day. I'm glad he's gone from Denver, all the talent in the world cant make up for a hard head.

I cant see chicago losing to the Bills no matter how well they played against baltimore.
Why miss the opportunity??
Cutler needs receivers badly. And he needs a Brandon Marshall type one first. Someone who can create a little seperation instantly to give Jay at least some sort of option. If Chicago can pick up Vincent Jackson in F/A in the offseason that would be a huge pick-up. Cutler is mobile enough to not need a great o-line he just needs people who are open quickly to catch the ball. Martz's system is not designed for the Cutler type QB though.

i'm saying the bears 28-17

How do you play that tape?

Thigpen looked so good last week but couldn't do anything tonight.

Chicago 16
Miami 0

I'll tell you what I think, you may agree or disagree as you wish. If the NFL players strike again, they will lose one of their biggest fans. I know off season health ins. is an issue but I look at some of these salaries. (And ticket prices)..

I never thought I would say this, not in gazzillion years, never ever! But I would like to thank him for trading, (Speaking softly), Cutler to the bears. 

Best game evar!!!  Halftime:

Jets 3
Pats 24

Can't wait for the second half.  Anyone but the Jets!!

Monday Night Football - Dec. 8, 1980 YouTube

The name slips me, but when the cloth roof collapsed in Montreal it took nearly a year to fully repair. Looks like the Vikings may be spending the rest of the season somewhere else. Perhaps nearby St. Paul has a stadium.

The pregame shows will be on soon.  They will explain everything.

In the meantime my online TV guide still shows Giants at Vikings at 1 pm.

Being played in Detroit official.

Free admission!

Why do I have the feeling the Vikings are going to wallop the bears tonight? Contrary to popular opinions Chi town does not play well in the snow!

I have resigned my Vikes this year.  Just ride the season out and pray for a better season next year.  I'm on leave up in Packer territory so I went to the game with some Packer fans, just to drink beer eat brats and watch football.  I was hoping NY would win so I could shut my friends up about the Vikes but Manning played like Favre...sooooo yeah.  Good beer though, and the brats were great!

On a side note, the Forty Whiners finally fired Singletery.  LMAO.

Wow - talk about beating the spread!

Vikings 24
Eagles 14

24 points against the spread.

Rams one win away from playoffs.

Saints repeat anyone?  I know they are only the No 5 seed, but you never know.

People are writing off both NO and indy as they had poor starts to the season, but both have been looking very good as of late.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if we have a repeat of last year.

Patriots will take it all.

It just isn't fair..  Teams like the Bears and Vikings go decades without a world-class QB.. and The Packers go from  Favre to Rodgers (and Majkowski before that).. and have Mark Brunell, Matt Hasselbeck and Kurt Warner come and go as backups 

31-36-3TD  in a road playoff game, and a rushing TD to boot. Someone's in the zone 

It will be Chicago Bears VS Green Bay Packers next week for the NFC championship for the first time since Dec 11 1941.

Yeah, your right on about the packers Brett. A little wager, though.. If the Pack beat the Bears next week I'll eat 2 pounds of Cheddar cheese from a stainless steel mouse trap! 

Thanks for letting me off the hook.. Hopefully it will be an epic game. See you all next weekend..

Yeah.. I saw that.. pretty funny  ... a good friend's wife is an editor there (gets me tickets).

Vegas: Green Bay slight favorite to win Super Bowl
