Hawks pounded the skins. Jags are starting to pull away from the steelers. Two ints thrown by Ben ( one for a td) and a Jones Drew td on a pass have them up by two scores. The jags d has already sacked ben four times before the half. Pit needs a spark.

The jags look great.


How about Jones Drew? Not only is he a great back , he scored a td acting as a wr. Awesome.

I swear Lamar Woodley and Larry Foote should give back their game checks because they are playing like crap.

Jags-Steelers is a great game.

Jags win. I hope the titans upset SD, I don't want the Pats to face the Jags. Awesome play by Garrard on 4th down.

[CalvinH]

G-men looked good

Chargers-Titans went the way most figured.

Imo it will be colts pats in the afccg. Pats win a close one to face Dallas in the sb.

It's not going to be walk int he park by no means for the Pats.  Although, my bet's on them, they can easily lose any of those games except maybe Dallas. 

Any word on their O-line injuries?  I seem to remember them having to start 2, 2nd strings players in that Giants game.

G-men
C-Shaun O'Hare was out with a sprained knee,questionable for Dallas
LT-David Diehl left the game with cramps and dehydration,will be fine for Dallas
He was replaced by Guy Whimper{oh brother what a football name }
Whimper played fine so Diehl wasn't rushed back.
and one of their LB's split time with a second year player because he also had a banged up knee.

the weird thing was that you'd figure Tampa would have no problem playing in the heat but they had at least 3 or 4 guys leave the game because of cramps and dehydration

Jags were horrible..they gave up a huge lead to a toothless Steeler offense. I imagine the game will be close in the first half and then Tom and company will pull away in the second. Also, the 3rd and 4 play to seal the game for Pittsburg. What the hell play was that, QB sneak. Brady goes to Welker for 6, game won. The Jags are beaten up on the D line and will not be able to get in a shootout with the Pats. I was worried about the Jags until Saturday..they are a media darling and a creation of sports talk. Sure they could win, but a running game does not scare me, the Colts scare me. Big lines have not been a Pats problem, small fast d lines have been. Brady will pick apart their secondary.

Neal will be back , greatly improving the runs to his side. We should go into this game well rested. I know what you mean about a tough road ahead.

I'm worried about injuries because I don't trust Del Rio. Paul Spicer was on ESPN still talking spygate shit...good job dumbass.

On the Jaguars’ official Web site, the Patriots rate No. 1 in the power rankings, but their 16-0 season includes an asterisk which reads, “cheated in one game.”

And turning back the clock to that September scandal, few players in the league were more outspoken than Jaguars defensive lineman Paul Spicer.

“This ain’t news,” he told the Associated Press at the time. “I’ve heard it in the past. They finally got caught. The Patriots got caught. They’re busted.”

Those words and many of the ones that follow below will surely come up behind closed doors in Gillette Stadium this week, where the Pats are masters of turning disrespect into motivation.

At the height of Camera-gate, Spicer wanted commissioner Roger Goodell to fine the Patriots $2 million and take away their second- and third-round picks, while hoping for something even harsher.

“Do like the NCAA and kick them out of the playoffs or something,” Spicer said. “Put them on probation; they can’t go to no playoff games. Roger Goodell has definitely enforced some new rules. He’s been hard on players. Now let’s see how hard he’s going to be with a team.”

I think the Pats will stop the run....I prefer straight-up between the tackles guys like JD and FT. GUys like LT present problems, especially without Rosie's speed on the edge. It remains to be seen whether their red zone d will be improved.

Should be a good game with GB.  The Pack's O line is banged up and it'll be a patchwork.  The Hawk's D line and backers are playing well.  But Seattle has an awful secondary.  Just awful.

If Favre gets any time at all to throw it'll be a long day for the Hawks.

On offense, I think Alexander is washed up.  He's really lost something.  GB has had trouble covering tightends.  I'm not sure how good the Seattle TEs are (I know they have Pollard but he's 100), but if Hasselbeck can get them the ball that'd really big for keeping drives alive.

It should be good.  Personally, as a GB fan, I'd like to see Seattle lose due to a Holmgren meltdown on the sideline...like when he forgot how many timeouts he had in the GB/Denver Superbowl b/c he was too busy whining about other things.

Geez,what a start.Grant was traded in the preseason from the Gmen to the Pack.

[CalvinH]

Fuck,Pack killed em.

[mass 04]

I honestly had doubts, but that Packers ar for real. They are the one team that could give NE trouble in the SB  if either team makes it.

I thought Dallas was the clear fav to rep the NFC. Not so sure about that anymore! In a dome on a fast track the boys are just as explosive as gb.

Lets see if Hollywood Romo can get it done.

I know I'm a Giants homer but ya gotta admit Jerry Reese the Giants GM had a FANTASTIC off season last year
got rid of his starting left tackle-went with Diehl.
starting outside LB-Kawika Mitchell-free agent.
Kevin Boss-starting TE-rookie 5 round pick
Ahmad Bradshaw-splits time at RB,kick returner-rookie 7 round pick
Aaron Ross-starting CB-rookie 1 round pick
Steve Smith-3 reciever-rookie 2 round pick
Jay Alford-back up d-lineman,starting long snapper-rookie 3 round pick.
Michael Johnson-sometime starting SS-rookie 6 round pick.
thats a heck of a draft
