NFL Fans?

The Bears are the only team I could see winning it all. But even there I'm naturally suspicious of teams that charge out of the blocks in the regular season (cf Indy the last few years).

I think the Bears real challenge will be the first playoff game (as they seem to be getting there). Last year they had a really solid season but were awful against the Panthers and just fell apart. Its whether they can handle the pressure of being there.

The Eagles and Seahawks especially have positive experiences of it and that could work in their favour.

But so far so good for the Bears building on last years really good defensive performances. Woo hoo

Anyone seen the Miami-FIU brawl from the other night?! Brilliant

It was amazing!

When that dude started lashing people out of it with his helmet!

And then all the players running off celebrating! Priceless.

How the hell did the Bears get away with that one?

Un****ingbelievable, i went to bed at half time(10.30 pm est) when the score was 20-0 to the Cardinals. Then I checked NFL.COM website only to see a Bears win. Watched the hilights afterwards which showed 3 defensive Chicago touchdowns.
Defence wins championships, the Bears looks good at 6-0 as long as they don't choke in the Playoffs like last season.

Also needed to win championships is a quarterback who doesnt commit 6 turnovers against Arizona.

Equally as shocking: the Raiders won a game!

Great day for kickers.

Tynes, Anderson, Bryant.

Steelers @ Falcons was a great game to watch. I really think Charlie Batch is showing himself to be one of the 2 or 3 best backup QBs in the league.

I'm home for the Cowboys v Giants game tomorrow morning. (Great thing about living in Oz: NFL games are always on in the mid-morning!).

Hopefully we'll see a cracker!

Hope the Giants win it. (Sorry REDS). During the pre-season I put money on a Patriots - Giants Super Bowl. Pays off nicely.

And both teams are rounding in to form.

[REDSCOUSER]

No worries mate, you have riding on the Giants
Whoever wins will go top of that tought Eastern Division.
JJ is slowly turning into a fine RB for the BOYS, hope he can do the buiss tonight.
It will be tight but I think the BOYS will win it 24-14

Tough break.

The Giants are gearing up and turning in to a sack machine.

I like Parcells, but goodness me, that was the wrong time to change quarterback.

when you turnover the ball 4 times against a good team like the Giants, you will be punished. I was hopeful of a comeback 'till Romo threw that 96 yd int returned for a td. They were down the 5 yrd line of NY then ****ed it up.
Parcells had to make a move in the 2nd half, Bledsoe was having a 'mare. On the other hand, if his blockers were doing their job he would not have been sacked as many times as he did. Terrible blocking from the offensive line.
Also, the running game was not working for the BOYS last night, JJ could not get a break, while Barber(repsect to him) ran riot. He will be missed next season after his retirement.

[hoeyd2]

I think Bledsoe finishing the game would have given them a better chance. (I'm not a huge Bledsoe fan overall, but I like unforced mid-game QB switches even less).

Like you said, the o-line was appalling, though. Until that gets better, Jones, Bledsoe and Romo could all struggle.

But on Tiki..... You're dead right, he'll be huge loss. People can have their Tomlinson, and Alexander. I've come to believe that the 2 best backs in the NFL are Barber and Dunn.

And Barber gets it done with an unspectacular o-line.

6-0 after trailing 14-13 at ht a great second half
