The Browns came to play! Watch this space for further developments. ---

Oh, and bye the bye, the Packers are up 23-0 at the half … and Rodgers has already been sacked 4 times. He’s not going to survive a whole season of this. ---

How can that not have been a first down for the Browns? Actually Cribbs is the biggest threat today. Maybe giving up FGs is a better strategy. ---

New Orleans is up 34-17 on the Giants. New York has scored some points, but Brees is going through the Giants defense like a hot knife through butter. ---

WHAT THE FUCK is going on in this Pittsburgh game! First off, Big Ben had 300+ passing yards and only 78 rushing ones with 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. In the last 3 minutes, there’s been 3 turn overs, including a fumble by Willie Parker on a 2nd and 1. That’s absolutely pathetic that Pittsburgh can’t even rush on a 2nd and 1. ---

I think they greased the ball or something. They look like the Keystone Kops out there. ---

Well, what happened to Culpepper in the Lions game? Did they just decide to give up on him? Or did he get injured? And are they REALLY relying upon Drew Stanton to lead them out of Purgatory?? And notice that the Bengals can’t stand prosperity. ☹ ---

Hey, did you guys know Roethlisberger was a football player? I think the announcers have left the building and they’re just playing a loop. ---

Good old fashioned football sighting. The Panthers just cramming the ball down the Bucs throat in the fourth quarter. 1-10 on their own 20, they call 14 rushes (one 4 yard pass mixed in) to drive down the field, eat up the clock, and then score. Talk about bashing a defenses’ face in. Damn! ---

Defense’s. Just sayin’. 😃 Cincy unable to get it done at home against the Texans. Yuck. ☹ Green Bay making clear that nothing has really changed in Detroit; 1 - 15 is no better than 0 - 16. 😛 ---

The Lions lines offensive and defensive were killed today. They need like 8 players to fix them. Lucky we won one, Tampa Bays streak woulds be an easy reach. How can they get worse and worse every week? ---

SMACK! Take that, Brett Favre. Ray Lewis just crushed him. Then Ray Rice goes 30+ yards for the TD. Ravens 31 Vikings 30 ---

And the Packers get the win, with an impressive defensive showing. Sure it was against the Lions, but a shut out is a shut out. Still problems on the O Line, and some problems in the red one, but it’s a win. Hot diggity dog. Now the Ravens are storming back on the Vikings, taking the lead 31-30 with 3:37 left. Things are getting interesting. Does Favre still have his magic? ---

Fucking useless Ravens secondary. Ed Reed seems to be the only guy back there who can play these days. ---

So far, so good. Cardinals take a 7-0 lead over the Seahawks. ---

I just bought a carton of milk. There was a picture of the Giants defense on the back. Seriously, WTF? Also, Joe Flacco looks like Sylar. ---

I had Jacksonville in my survivor pool this week. Whew. I already survived an OT game with Cincy over Cleveland earlier in the year.
