Game Thread: Early Games

The only early game that looks good on paper is the Colts/Ravens game.  That doesn't mean there won't be some hidden gems in there though.


Conversations in the comments below.  I'll leave them open until tomorrow so this thread can be used for the Eagles/Bears game tonight too.

Mortensen just makes things up. Ask Al Davis.

I don't know about anyone else

But the colts look really good and look to go up early.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 10:07 AM PST reply actions  

I’ve picked them #1 in the power rankings every week. Damn the Saints. NO always seems to be in close games against bad teams.

They win. I don’t give the Saints a lot of credit. I also wonder how much their 4th place schedule helps them out.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 10:49 AM PST up reply actions  

Like I said, they seem to be playing bad teams every week and playing catchup in the second half. You cant do that in the playoffs.

Wow

If Baltimore doesn’t get this challenge, they are going to be down 14-0 early to the colts.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 10:12 AM PST reply actions  

Yawn.

Early games are terrible. About to head down to PB for a day of football. GO CHAGAZ!

7-6 Colts

The Giants season is over

They’re playing terrible.

They’ll turn it around at some point. They’ll be dangerous at the end of the season for teams headed for the playoffs.

The font on the back of Jacksonville’s jerseys makes it look like Garrard’s last name is GAAAAAD.

I also am not sold on the cowboys

They haven’t done a lot against the redskins.

Its like which team do you expect to see

The one that lost to the Giants @ home or the one that beat the Eagles on the road.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 10:53 AM PST up reply actions  

Just saw 3 plays in a row where Romo almost got his WR killed. Austin twice, then Williams.

Redskins are playing good by the way. Don’t know how it’s slipped under the radar, but their secondary is good. Haynesworth determines their run D.

They have a good D

Not much on offense with Ladell Betts and Clinton Portis out.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 10:56 AM PST up reply actions  

I loved Jason Campbell at Auburn and always had hope for him, but after watching him against the Broncos I’m done. He’s an awful QB. If they could’ve gotten Favre in the offseason, they’d be above .500.

Ya I do feel for the guy but there really haven’t been great dual threat QB’s in the NFL.

Philip Rivers 5.1 YPC disagrees.

Let me say this

There aren’t many people who can run for 1000 yards in a season and get 2500 yards passing.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 11:04 AM PST up reply actions  

Yep I thought the Williams one was helmet to helmet, or at least he lead with his helmet.

Giants just woke up

Nicks and Boss with huge plays. Watch them destroy the Falcons now.

I love Josh Freeman

He’s going to end up being so much better than Stafford or Sanchez.

Ravens have to win this challenge

Or they have no more challenges, good thing they didn’t.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 11:14 AM PST reply actions  

Anyone else think

The Lions were smart in trading away Roy Williams?

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 11:18 AM PST reply actions  

so are they legally required to talk about Flacco's arm strength a set number of times each game?

“you just don’t make that play with a weak arm, do you…”

ugh.

And they miss the field goal

What a stupid delay and play. I guess that is one way to ice the kicker.

Not all bars have the football package they have to pay a huge fee for it

They have both direct tv and cable but I thought that they didn’t have the package because most of their customers only wanted the NY games anyway

Somehow Billy Cundiff

Might beat the colts in this game, scoring all the points for the ravens.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 12:35 PM PST reply actions  

I'm enjoying watching GB beat up on SF 30-10

I work with a bunch of niner fans, and I have a couple of bets that Chargers will go to playoffs AND niners won’t (i.e., they win the bet if Chargers don’t make playoffs OR niners do).

Plus, I love nothing more than to call them the 4and9ers, so I hope they lose 3 more games after this one. :-)

Whoa KC

keeping up with Pittsburgh

So question

If the Ravens score, who thinks Manning will lead this team down the field to a go ahead score?

WTF got into the Chiefs?

Arrowhead is a tough place to play…

Ravens just lost all their time outs

I think this game is over, colts need a first down, even if they don’t get it the ravens will get the ball with like 30 seconds left and no time outs.

by Dude52089 on Nov 22, 2009 12:58 PM PST reply actions  

What is ed reed doing?

He just flipped it and lost the game for the ravens.

CLE beating DET

One of my bosses at work is a huge Lions fan, but he said he’ll stop watching them if they lose to this CLE team.

Damn, that’s GOTTA suck.
