Big defensive stop from the Cowboys.

To be fair As bad as the Pats D is playing the Bills are looking a lot better. I hope now the Bills get their season going in some capacity and give the Jets and Fins the same kind of effort. Makes for a better AFC East. But the Pats D is letting far too much happen.

But hey that Int happening as I type this makes me smile

Yeah the D ain't great at the moment but its young and I think it will get better and better as the weeks go by.

Just looking at it, like Arrington getting his first start today. Butler is a second year, McCourty rookie, Chung second year, Spikes rookie, Brace second year.

The experience in every game will make them all better imo. I expect them to be much improved after the bye week having had the experience and then BB has a week to tweak things. And they have a tough test right after that with the Ravens.

Because the Browns are running all over them? Unless of course you were expecting Peyton Hillis to put up near 150 yards on the ground against the best run defence in the league...

mikemac

Browns call all out blitz

Flacco to Boldin, NUMBER 3!

Oh yeah

Oat23

Boldin TD. 32 fantasy points..woo!!

Lovely drive by the Falcons and Matt Ryan.

I considered him as he was a FA but didn't think he would be able to produce vs the Ravens.
Damn it!

Peyton Manning

TD Cowboys!

Its one of those matchups, like the Jets/Patriots where anything can happen. There is a real hate between those teams. You gotta understand that.

I stuck him in at the last minute because I figured him the lesser of two evils with Ricky Williams!

cruiserweight

I see that Sean Boylan with his team Meath topped last weeks fantasy table on Sky I will bet his team is full of hard hitters

I completely understand that

jesus, i don't know if roy williams changed his socks or ate more weetabix but keep it up.

mikemac

Well done to the Chiefs, who would have had them at 3-0 before the season started

Peyton Manning

Go Law Firm!

Stupid Pats O-line, never creating gaps for our running backs.

eagle eye

Lawfirm has been impressive today, great to see. He really has come on a lot, I was certainly wrong about him.

The gaps are being opened this year because of Vollmer, Gronk and Crumpler. The blocking is better upfield because of those guys too and Hernandez. I expected them to improve massively in that department this year.

Another thing I just thought of is the protection that Brady is getting. Like Kaczur was never that good but what I really like is how much Mankins is going to lose over his holdout. Like this line is so good right now that people are going to wonder just how good he is considering the improvement in his absence.

Peyton Manning

This could be going to OT

leedsfan88

How on earth are my Chefs winning and starting the season 3-0

Peyton Manning

Oh God that's a nasty looking injury to Pierre Thomas. Jesus Christ, that made me shudder.

As I keep saying its all down to them finally having great coaching.

Oat23

Comfortable 38-30 win for the Pats over the mighty Bills

Also, my boy Clausen may have lost but I'm proud

Itssoeasy

The chiefs are going to start a season 3-0 for first time in a good few seasons I'd say.

Lets go birds. Come on vick.

hynesie08

Nice win for the cowboys. Not sure if i'm happy with the bye week next week but at least we've got something to build on.

This exactly with Crennel and Weiss there the Chiefs made great additions with there coaches. Looking at Cassel today and the Chiefs play you can see the coaching is making a difference.

Saints miss a FG in overtime :eek:

Peyton Manning

Holy shít, that was a gimme. How did Hartley miss!??

Eire-Dearg

I've never felt so sick!

If it wasn't for the NFC championship game he would have likely been giving his marching orders tomorrow.

Michael vick to djax for 62yrd TD. Just like that feen.

Peyton Manning

Michael Turner killing it at the mo

Peyton Manning

That's how freezing the kicker backfires. lol @ Payton

I love it when those icing the kicker time-outs backfire.

Probably the only post like this from me this season, the tipping stats are woeful!

Terrible start by the Skins, 14-0 down and have a punt blocked just outside their own 20

Okay they intercept Bradford on the next play

ReacherCreature

Patriots win, am happy enough with it.

Peyton Manning

lol, just how dishonest does Tom Cable look? He has the appearance of a man who operates a dodgy pawn shop that would have no issues accepting stolen goods.

mikemac

Sea-bass with a 55 yard FG

Doubt there are many others in the NFL with his range

Sensational catch from Chiefs TE Moeaki.

Itssoeasy

What a bull**** call by the officials. Mike bell clearly got the first down. So only two camera angles in the whole stadium ? And now the eagles have no TOs left.

ReacherCreature

This thread is seriously quiet!

Black Swan

10-0 Seahawks at the half, with bad refs (that need to find another line of work).
