"NFL Season starts again"

Anyone catch the Colts vs Patriots game to kick off the start of the 85th NFL season? Was a great way to start the season and i hope all the games are as entertaining. Was in a strange situation where i couldn't care who actually won this as i find New England to be horribly boring and Ty Law to be very annoying (he takes arrogance to a whole new level, he makes Jose Mourinho look like the most modest man in the world) and Indianapolis aren't much better with Peyton 'Most over-hyped player ever' Manning leading the charge.

Was good to hear the greatest commentating duo in all of sports Al Michaels and the legend John Madden back once again, no one can beat them.

But anyway the game, few interceptions thrown by Manning showing just how average he is and proving once more New England is not his favourite place (Vick and McNabb are far better) and Ty Law spending most of the game on the bench and when he did come on he got schooled by Marvin Harrison (and why Manning wasn't throwing to him more often i've no idea, he's your best reciever you muppet, use him) Great ending as well with McGuinness sacking him and leaving VanDerJagt with a hard field goal which he missed when he should have only had about a 35 yard attempt to knock threw the sticks.


Bring on the rest of the season

Isn't that where it's supposed to go?

Anyway, I figured, against the Steelers, who are the best Defencinve team this season, and they don't have the greatest offence, they'll try for a lot of field goals.

I'll be laughing all teh way to the door when the postman comes with my prize.

Ahah, you chose Stover. He nearly killed one of his own blockers this week. Punted the ball right off the back of his head in a field goal attempt.

That made me laugh.

Team munn is better.

I've got Culpepper in at QB because I think he could really have a field day with the unpredictable Green Bay secondary. That's the thing, though - they're unpredictable. Culpepper could end up being intercepted many a time. Hopefully this isn't the case, though, and having Randy Moss back will certainly help against that.

Taking Larry Johnson at RB because he had a great week last week, and the fact that he's running against the Raiders' (terrible) rush defense should give him a good chance to get lots of yardage. The only problem is this could end up turning into a Collins vs. Green shootout, and there might not be as much running from LJ. Hopefully not, though.

Got in Jerry Porter as well as I think that this game will be a top quality shootout, and as long as Collins can continue his good form, Porter should get big yards. I was going to pick Collins this week, actually, but Daunte Culpepper just gets in ahead.

Defense is Washington because they're playing the Cowboys, and their good defensive performances in recent weeks will help the defense's confidence against quite a week offense.

Bennett's my other WR, and Gates is in at TE.

Go team AJ.

And then Eagles - Rams on Monday.
Which will be good. I think.

The Rams have got 2 tough games left, and the Seahawks are 7-7, whereas the Rams are 6-8, so it looks more likely that Seattle will win the NFC West.

Amazingly.

They'll probably end up 8-8.

And thanks for telling me that Favre looks tired.
I picked him for Fantasy Football this weeked.

That'll probably have to change

It's a shame that they've got underfield heating now, meaning no frozen tundra. Also Favre is looking a little bit worse for wear recently, and he threw some awful passes.

I can't wait for this Christmas, the games look set to be awesome scorefests for the most part (Oakland - KC anyone?), with some MASSIVE games coming up on Boxing day (Colts- Chargers, Steelers - Ravens, Jets - Pats). Wonderful!

Well i hope any ignorant moron who holds the opinion of American Football is rugby for softies and it's a girls game with all that padding watches the Packers vs Jags game when Donovan Darius just plain beheaded Robert Ferguson with a nasty clothesline. That is exactly why they wear padding, if he didn't have his helmet (which got ripped off anyway) and his shoulder pads that's at the very least a broken neck. Absolutely vicious hit, reminded me of the old days of football and all the old tapes i've watched. Someone is going to be fined and banned for that, so Donovan hope you like the locker room i doubt you'll be seeing the field for the rest of the season, that is if the committee feels there was intent which i think there blatantly was as you can see him wind his forearm up.

Marred an otherwise exciting game (that Sky director sure knows how to pick them) again going down to the last minutes. Some weird plays but that's to be expected at the frozen lands that are Lambeau

Well Big Ben wins the battle of the rookies and Eli improves on his 0 Quarterback rating from last week (still laughing my buttocks off at that) quite a good game actually and always love the kick off return touchdowns.

Eli did look better though in that game despite the moment where he nailed a pin-point pass.........off his offensive linesmen head :-D

Another free tip: pur Zlatan up front. He's on form as of late.
