Go Bills! Haha.

I know nothing of football, so if anyone could tell me what games would be worth watching this Sunday, that'd be great.

colts v eagles should be a good one.

if you aren't familiar with the nfl, you should definitely see some peyton manning. the eagles are no slouches either.

other notables:

bucs falcons

dolphins ravens (this one could be a defensive struggle aka no one scores. i enjoy watching games like these but it takes a trained eye.)

chargers texans (many points will be scored and both teams need a win.)




what prompted your interest? it sure as hell wasn't the bills.

Agreed with all these games. I'm an Atlanta fan, and this is a huge game for them and the Bucs. The Monday night game is Steelers @ Bengals. Division rivals, they know each other well, and it'll be very physical.

Peyton Manning leaves me speechless every game. He is literally the perfect quarterback. Everybody should watch him for a whole game at least once.

And that results in him not giving a ****. You could see it last game when he got interfered with, and then just completely gave up on a ball he could have easily caught.

The Vikings were a soap opera without Moss, and the general feeling is that Childress really isn't running that team.. Having Randy on the teams just makes it more of a soap opera and harder to keep everyone focused and on the same page.

I just think Randy made it impossible for the Vikes to keep him. He goes on a rant and embarrasses a catering service which puts a bad taste in his teammates mouth. He stands at a press conference and throws his teammates under the bus for not listening to the tips he gave them on New England.. Then he praises the Patriots to no end... after not even going half speed during the game and totally giving up on a should-have-been TD pass by Favre. All these things in just a few weeks. He's a guy who doesn't try, doesn't care, calls out teammates, and made a really bad impression on his new teammates.

Vikings aren't going anywhere this year with or without him. They are as good as done as far as I'm concerned. Favre isn't going to get any healthier, it's a matter of time before Travaris Jackson is starting. And their defense just isn't doing what it did last year. Vikings are going to have to really change things up next year (Favre, Childress both gone)
Absolutely, and I agree with you on pretty much every point. The only reason I bring it up is because I think many people are quick to say it was a good move because he didn't help the team any. Yeah, he's going to clash with the coach, he's going to possibly create a strife with some players, and he's going to go 100% only some of the time.... but, as a whole, the team benefited when he was on the field.

I'm a Chargers and Browns fan. As can be imagined, I'm not wholly ecstatic about this season.

Alright, cool! And I'm not really sure. It's just fun to watch. My brothers loved football, so I guess I've started to get into it. I'll never be THAT into it, I just enjoy watching it. I myself don't really have a favorite team. My brother's favorite team is the Bills. Poor him. Although I don't like the Giants. Not for any normal reason. It's just that when I think of them, I think of the 80s.. and I hate the 80s.

Look on the bright side, Chargers division is one of the weaker ones and they always make a late-season charge. And at least Colt McCoy is at the helm now in Cleveland. I actually think in a few years Cleveland could be a good team. I wasn't big on McCoy but after seeing him play, I liked some things I saw. They've got their running game going. If they can build a better defense they'll be alright. It's just tough cause of that brutal division they are in.

i haven't seen mccoy as a pro, but he's set up for failure in cleveland. when is the last time the browns had an OK QB?

As long as I can remember... I don't think he's set up for failure though. Obviously a better situation would be stepping into a team with a great defense or running game, but I think Colt is a good guy to build around. I was impressed with his mobility and pocket presence. I just don't know if he can throw it down field well enough yet. But I like Clevelands running game and I do think they are getting better even if their record doesn't show it. That division is just so smash mouth though that they are gonna need more playmakers. And Mangini is garbage as a coach I think.

i don't remember ever saying to myself: "wow, that colt kid really has talent". he was on a stacked team every year at texas. and I can't name 1 browns receiver other then cribbs(does he even play O?). i suppose they are decent in the run game.
