I will hand the thread off to the rest of you, but leave you with this:

For those of you Redskins fans out there, I would like to formally apologize in advance for the beating you are about to receive. I know you are coming off a big win on the road against your quarterback's former team, but there comes a time when emotion just isn't enough. When you go up against the big boys, it's time to just lay down and assume your position on the food chain. I know you were probably looking forward to having a 3 in your win column this week, but unfortunately for you, it will have to be placed in that other column.

Go Pack!

Green Bay, Houston, Tenessee, and Philidelphia for the win this week!

Fly, Eagles, fly! On the road to victory! Fight, Eagles, fight! Score a touchdown 1, 2, 3! Hit 'em low, hit 'em high, and watch our Eagles fly! Fly, Eagles, fly! On the road to victory!

E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!

I hope so, for your sake. The 49ers haven't won yet. That would be pretty embarrassing.

Speaking of winless teams, there are four left. Who do you guys think will be the last winless team?

1. Buffalo Bills
2. Detroit Lions
3. Carolina Panthers
4. San Francisco 49ers

I've gotta go with the Lions. I have faith in them. They are masters at choking in every possible way.

Panthers, for sure. The Lions are getting close to winning in every game, they just fall short. The Bills aren't terrible, and the 49ers are about as unlucky at the end as the Lions.

The Panthers are without a solid QB and their number one reciever in Steve Smith. They will be the last winless team.

I hope its either Carolina or the 49'ers

I hope Detroit stop actually choking for once, and Buffalo wake themselves up and get a new QB

Apparently Brett Favre is being investigated for sending "racy messages and photos" to a woman who worked for the Jets when he played for the Jets.

I don't see why it matters, even if he did. I would think that would be between he and his wife at this point, two years later.

But hey, if he gets suspended, that would be great. I like Favre and appreciate all he did for the Packers, but facts are facts: the Vikings are nothing without him and we've got a division to win.

Nuff said!

DOUBLE POST!

The Eagles will move up after this week.

They need to get their players healthy and keep them that way, though. Too many starters are out.

Wow, what is happening in Houston right now? 21-0? That's bad.

Meanwhile, in Washington, Green Bay had what, 2 or 3 plays from the one yard line and couldn't get in? That's bad too.

Come on, guys. Have to do better than this.

Pathetic loss.

That's all.

That's how I felt last week when Kolb gave us the loss.

Look at the friggin Raiders... Wow.

Well I couldn't have been more wrong. The one I pick is the only one that wins.

I'm going with the Bills now. I think their first win will be when they play the Lions here in a few weeks.

GO BEARS!!!!

I laugh at all of you that have no faith in the Bears. Sure...they may win ugly...but they win...the "W" is all that matters.

The Bears will crumble and choke like they always do. The Packers will get themselves together and re-gain their rightful position atop the NFC North.

Enjoy fighting for 2nd place!

I have to get used to Moss in a Vikings jersey again.

Should be a lot of fun watching Favre and Moss light it up.

It's so lovely to see the Vikings lose.

It was nice to see Favre's 500th touchdown pass, though. It was a nice throw too. Only quarterback ever to throw 500 touchdown passes. Too bad he did it in a Vikings uniform. That's the only down side.

reply to post by PETROLCOIN


I forget...did the Bears and the Packers play yet this year???

If they did...what was the outcome of that game???


Sorry...my memory...it's horrible. Could you help me to remember?

reply to post by OutKast Searcher


We got one more game to go, my friend. In our house. Week 17 we square things up and win the division.

Get as much winning done as you can, because we haven't even gotten rolling yet and we're only a game back. Once we get going you won't be able to stop us.

reply to post by PETROLCOIN


That has the potential to be a hell of a game. Last game of the season, day after New Years....hopefully the game will decide who wins the division and everything will be on the line.

Now if we can only protect our QB until January...
