I, like Vegas, expect Miami to crash back down to earth tonight after Sunday’s outburst.

Pittsburgh favored at home against the Bengals? With Cincinnati coming off a bye? I don’t think so. Easy money.

You got that right.

Well, the good news for Tannehill last night is that he was for a bit reminiscent of Peyton Manning in his second (or third)-most successful season.
The bad news of course is that he was reminiscent of the first play of the Seattle Superbowl (not that it was necessarily either QB’s fault).

(and it was strange to me how up and down he seemed; super accurate to start, then off a bunch, then ‘screw it’ mode where he was flinging passes through tight coverage, but giving up INTs)

Looks like Roethlisberger is a GO for Sunday, so my easy money prediction to take the Bengals is maybe not quite as easy. I’d still pick Cincinnati, but it’s not as much of a lock.

Arizona went from -4.5 to -6 at Cleveland. Joe Haden is back, Josh McCown is probably starting. I say take the Browns, baby!

A really bizarre twist on the Jeremiah Ratliff cut by the Bears a couple of weeks ago. The reason police were needed is because he threatened to kill the children of the Bears staff members and announced, " I am the Devil." Clearly he has mental health issues and hopefully will get them addressed.

I know there’s been plenty of times when players have thrown tantrums after being released and it’s certainly not exclusive to the NFL, but this is the first time I can remember police being necessary.

That report says the incident was the day before he got cut. The Bears were smart to call 911.

The link to Devon Still’s Ellen video in that link still tears me up. Still (natch!), the Bengals should beat the Steelers on Sunday, Ben or no Rapist. The Bengals are far and away better on the tale of the tape other than at LB, but that’s why they play the games.

I can’t believe the Steelers threw that game away. They had it, their defense was dominant. The Cincinnati offense couldn’t find the end-zone.

Nothing on the Giants-Saints game yet?

Eli threw 6 TDs, but Brees threw 7. And the Giants lost on, of all things, a facemask grab which put NO into FG range with 5 seconds left.

And the facemask grab was by the punter.

:smack:

What a wild game. Great QB play and awful DB play. Glad my Saints took it!

Video game numbers for Brees and a 2 TD game from Cooks is great for my fantasy teams, too :smiley:

Did either team even put a defense on the field, or was this just O-practice? Were the QBs wearing red jerseys?

(I say this as a Gints fan who watched the game)

What the hell kind of hit was THAT??? Then Dez Bryant starts a fight.Brilliant.

Chargers, last place, 2 and 6. My “moving curse” is working as designed.
Evil laugh.

Raiders are so vastly improved…and with all that available cap space for next season…:slight_smile:

I’ve got to give Josh McCown credit. He took an incredible beating this week that would’ve killed some normal people and really hung in there and played his guts out. He’s a tough motherfucker.

They’d rather have him die on the field than play Manziel, that much is clear.

I don’t know how the O-line is so terrible at pass blocking. It must be coaching, because they were top 3 in pass blocking last year, but this year they’re just terrible at everything. They did lose their O-line coach in week 2 or something. But I think it’s mostly the new OC who has no idea how to use this O-line. They’ve gone from a top unit in the league to average at best.

“The Giants only the second team in history to put up 49 points and lose”

I know who the first is!!!

Edit: Woops, I was wrong. Checked the records and the game I was thinking of was 58-48. The 49 point loss was actually done by the Oilers. Maybe that’s why they didn’t mention the team, the NFL probably avoids mentioning disbanded franchises.

Out of curiosity, is this the latest week in an NFL season that two undefeated teams have played?

My guess is 2007 Week 9 - Pats vs Colts.

As a Bronco fan I wasn’t exactly looking forward. to tonight’s game.I figured GB would take it because Manning hasn’t exactly looked all that good this year.

But that was a pleasant surprise. And an Ass kicking. Manning with 340 yards and Rodgers with 77. Ouch. And a safety.

Suddenly I am quite a bit more confident in the Broncos.
