Wow Giants/Pats game is 0-0 at the half! New England’s field goal kicker muffed an easy one going into the half. That’s gotta hurt morale. ---

I can’t believe Giants are now up 10-0 and Brady is looking bad. I only hope it keeps going this way. Go Giants. I swear the game changed when they started playing _Enter Sandman_ over the stadium speakers. Don’t they know that song is associated with NY winning. 😉 ---

Rams have gotten two safties in one game. On back to back possesions. This games is a study in what happens when suck collides. ---

Giants @ Pats has just gone nuts. Giants coughed up a punt leading to Pats FG. We fumbled on the kickoffs but recovered and now on the Giants punt to Pats they coughed it up. ---

Weak PI call, that ball was totally uncatchable. ---

Holy Shit, what a crazy game. Giants go up 24-20 with 15 seconds left. ---

Wow, that was quite the game. (OK, technically the Pats have 15 seconds left, but I’m a doubter.) ---

Ugh, I slept 3 hours in 2 days and I managed to stay up through all of the early games which were all snoozers. Fell asleep during the afternoon games and they all appear to be pretty interesting. ---

Damn, somehow whether its helmets or pass interference, somehow Eli Manning knows that all he’s gotta do to beat the pats is heave it up and hope. ---

8-0 motherfuckers! Why was Rivers ever considered a top-5 QB? ---

\*\*Giants \*\*have a really good record for a team that embarrassed themselves vs. the Sea Hawks and haven’t won many games convincingly. I’m not sure if I can believe yet. But I am hoping they can take the division. This is a game I marked down as a loss at the beginning of the year. ---

Eli continues his fourth quarter heroics, this time without the benefit of his starting running back, starting center, and #1 wide receiver. Immediately after his clutch come-from-behind win the broadcast cuts to Rivers choking away another game-winning opportunity. Pretty good day. Oh yeah, and the Jets won, though truth be told I think I was actually 51%-49% rooting for the Billies. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > Because up until this year, he was excellent. Everyone is baffled by the turnaround. Strange. I too remember him being a top-tier qb. Now he’s no better than Romo. ---

I swear, you can’t count on the Pats for anything. Root against them and they always win. Root for them and they choke it away every time. Fuck those guys. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > Because up until this year, he was excellent. Everyone is baffled by the turnaround. ☹ So now it’s a 3-way tie for first in the AFCW at .500, with next week’s games internal to the division. So if my Chargers win and the Broncos do also, SD will be 5-4 and all 3 other teams will be 4-5. Wackadoodle. ---

For the last three or four years, everyone said that if the Bolts just got off to a good start, they’d be a powerhouse. ---

They sure are selling the Ravens Steelers game. Hopefully it lives up to the billing. ---

6-2 Bengals colliding with the Steelers next weekend at Paul Brown stadium should be a good game…Bengals play 5 of their last 8 games at home and have now won 5 in a row and have the best road record in the AFC…and still have to play divisional opponents Baltimore and Pittsburgh twice each! Its conceivable and even likely that the AFC wildcard will come out of the AFCN.
