2008 NFL Watching The Scoreboard Thread

[YanksFan1992]

My thoughts for this week's games so far...



-The Falcons won't make the playoffs this year, but they are on the right track. A few good personnel decisions over the next few years and they'll be a contender.

-Buffalo and Cleveland will both be hot and cold this year in my opinion. One of the two will get a playoff spot, but which one is yet to be seen.

-Seattle will still probably win the NFC West, but they are in serious trouble, and I can't see them making a run in the playoffs with the amount of injuries they currently have.

-If Tom Brady is indeed done for the year, the AFC East is the Jets to take.

-Carolina, New Orleans and possibly Tampa Bay will be in a dogfight for their division this year.

-And finally, Dallas and Philadelphia both look very, very good.

I think that's a little premature. Atlanta's running game looked awesome, but Detroit was ranked dead last in total defense last year so they can make anyone look good.

Well, what I mean to say is they're on the right track. They are still a long ways away from being a good team, but they have a good RB, and what looks like a good QB, and that always helps.

[YanksFan1992]

Devin Hester is so ridiculously good at punt/kick returns.

[YanksFan1992]

3-0 Colts.

[YanksFan1992]

Matt Forte just had a 50 yard TD.

7-3 Bears.

[YanksFan1992]

The Bears just got robbed.

[YanksFan1992]

10-6 Bears halfway through the second.

[YanksFan1992]

And a safety makes it 12-6 Bears.

The Bears aren't looking half bad right now.

[NJ Fan]

Just got home from a Charger bar in Manhattan!! Who knew?

Awful loss for my Bolts, but they were losing most of the game anyway. They really didn't deserve to win it.

I met a whole bar-ful of Charger fans though. It was a fun & crazy time. It will be a blast to watch most of the games with them.

Many games left.

[YanksFan1992]

And we're headed to the half...15-6 Bears.

[Hobbes40]

How about those Bears!

[JDPNYY]

Just got home from a Charger bar in Manhattan!! Who knew?

I imagine they take Credit Cards there.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

I imagine they take Credit Cards there.

Colts have cut it to 15-13.

[NJ Fan]

You are such a funny guy!!!

[YanksFan1992]

Lance Briggs scoops up a Marvin Harrison fumble and returns it for six.

22-13 Bears.

[YanksFan1992]

On the same day, the Pats have lost their best player, the Jaguars and Chargers have lost, and the Colts could lose as well.

[YanksFan1992]

HUGE fourth down stop by Chicago there.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

[YanksFan1992]

29-13 Bears.

[CptCrunch]

Pretty dominant performance by Da Bears defense.

[keg411]

Kyle Orton =

Peyton isn't healthy. But the Bears defense looks dominant.

I can't believe that Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago and Carolina all won today.

[YanksFan1992]

29-13 Bears is the final.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

29-13 Bears is the final.

At least the Colts have a shiny new stadium.

[YanksFan1992]

At least the Colts have a shiny new stadium.

Meh, as someone from Seattle I'd tell you having a shiny new stadium pretty much means nothing.

We've got Hec Ed, Safeco Field, Qwest Field, Husky Stadium (even though it's crap now) and Key Arena, but only one good team. And if today's performance was any indication that one team might not be good for much longer.

[metalboy15]

Bears fan here...

Still not convinced by the OL, QB play or WR's, everything else looked great.

Forte had a great game, has the look of a fine young every-down back.

Defense looked dominant (circa 05-06, 06-07).

Nice start.

Went to Safeco Field last year for a tour. Very nice ballpark.

I want to see Qwest Field though.

The NFC West is weak...again. Seattle is the clear favorite to win it again. The Arizona Cardinals still not looking good, one of the SF Bay Area teams, the San Francisco 49ers don't have enough quality playmakers on offense, and the St. Louis Rams don't have a defense.

The NFC South and NFC East will be dog fighting divisions for NFC Playoff Berths.

I agree with the AFC part.

[BroadwayBomber55]

On the same day, the Pats have lost their best player, the Jaguars and Chargers have lost, and the Colts could lose as well.

If those teams continue to struggle, we might see the Pittsburgh Steelers as the favorite to emerge from the AFC.

7-3 Packers...I'm really torn on who to root for this game. On one hand, I want the Packers to lose because of how they treated Favre. On the other hand, I want the Packers to win because of all the mess that Rodgers had to deal with.

How they treated Favre? Brett Favre made the entire summer about him, despite what he told the Packers over and over. What did they do to him?

[YanksFan1992]

What games is everyone getting this week?

In addition to SNF and MNF, I'll only be getting Minnesota-Indy and Seattle-San Francisco.

[YanksFan1992]

I'll be watching be Giants-Rams, Jets-Pats and Browns-Steelers today (although I'll have to watch the first two on my computer).

[YanksFan1992]

Having Adrian Peterson is almost unfair.

[YanksFan1992]

Kinda glad I picked Green Bay in survival right now.

[CptCrunch]

Having Adrian Peterson is almost unfair.

It's a good thing the Vikings have no semblance of a passing game.

[YanksFan1992]

The Colts are in danger of starting the season with back to back losses against teams from the NFC North, as they are down 9-0 at the half against Minnesota.

[YanksFan1992]

Ryan Longwell is pulling a Bironas and has 5 field goals on the day.

And what a play by the Colts.

[YanksFan1992]

Vikings fans don't deserve a win today.

[BonusCantos]

The Vikings totally choked.

[YanksFan1992]

And the punking of Seattle continues.

[YanksFan1992]

And the punking of Seattle continues.

This is unbelievable....

[YanksFan1992]

On the doorstep of a 27-13 lead, the Seahawks now find themselves trailing the 49ers 27-20 after two Hasselbeck interceptions.

[b_joseph]

Mike Turner came back down to earth....13 carries 39 yards

[YanksFan1992]

Seattle is in serious trouble.

[YanksFan1992]

And in a tie game, San Francisco is in field goal range with less than a minute left.

[YanksFan1992]

And to overtime we go, after Nedney misses what would have been the game-winning field goal.

[YanksFan1992]

And the Seahawks lose.

Jesus Christ.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Refs are having a stellar game today..what a terrible call in the SD/Denver game.
