Hill may start next week too.

Jags playing to win. Pack playing simply not to make mistakes.

When ya ain't got nothin', ya ain't nothin' ta lose, ai na?

Bears may have good guards, but their tackles are terrible.

[Jay Bee]

Awful game for AP (31 yards), but that D got it done for Minnesota (nh)

Yes, the defending NFC North Champions are ready to repeat!

[wadesworld]

Cutler sucks

Just figuring that one out?

Sarcasm but Kevin White is actually god awful.

[DegenerateDish]

I know they have guys injured/suspended, but the Colts have that look of a 4-12 team.

They should have replaced both Grigson and Pagano last year.  They have regressed significantly talent wise and I don't think Pagano is much of a coach.

Hill looked respectable.  He overthrew a couple of wide open guys, but also made some very very good passes.  The o-line kept the pocket in tact, giving Hill time.  Also, some easy catches dropped and some really dumb penalties on offense.  If the offense gets its poop in a group, they will give GB a very  tough time next weekend.  If Joe Walsh can get his kicking game together, that's a big bonus. 

What say you JayDee?

Joe Walsh would have made that kick last January.

For Detroit, it is all about the offensive line.    If they keep Stafford on his feet, the Lions will be competitive.   If the line plays like it did in the first half of last season, Detroit will struggle.    But, the Lions being the Lions, if there is a way to lose, they will find it.

Bill Walsh too.

25% of the way there.

Maybe not.

Good call, bud

Good call, bud

Thanks, pal.

    But, the Lions being the Lions, if there is a way to lose, they will find it.

Missed PAT, let Indy go right down the field on them with minimal resistance, and then not one, but TWO receivers lacked the situational awareness to get out of bounds during a two-minute drill, instead straining for a meaningless extra yard each and forcing Detroit to burn timeouts.   But the Lions won.   Blind squirrels and acorns.

Pa Leeze.  You played the worst team in football.  There won't be two returns for TDs next week.  Seriously, the Titans best player is their mascot T-RAC.

I'm just grateful the Vikes didn't play Jacksonville 

both Tenn and Jax are clearly in the bottom half of the league, both games were on the road, one team was 2.5 point favorites, one team was 3.5 point favorites.....don't try to play it as anything different.

I may be wrong but wasn't Jacksonville the trendy pick to be the most improved team this season?

And the Titans are the worst team in football by a LARGE margin

The Browns & Niners would like to speak with you.

It was his first nfl game. He's going to need some time.

Actually, I think Jacksonville is decent this year. They could be top half of that terrible division.  Playoffs?  Way too early to tell.  I do agree with the notion that Cleveland might be as bad as the Titans.

Like Will Fuller needed time?
