Bye week observations

Looks like the unbeatens stay that way - unless Denver falls.

Win or lose, Dallas stinks. I see a coaching change and a QB change in their near future.

Other than the Rams, the Giants played the weakest team in the NFL today. The Lions would have given the Giants a better fight. Despite that fact, I bet it helps the Giants chances against us where the Vegas oddsmakers are concerned. Look for it to be even or for us to be a very slight underdog at home.

Not that they had a shot to start with, but Tampa Bay is certainly a non-factor the rest of the way in the NFC South title. We had better sweep these guys.

Carolina needs help to win. Washington is doing their best to give this game away...

Yep. Dallas stinks. Miles Austin single-handedly saved Wade Phillips job...for now.

The Raiders are just flat out pathetic. They are completely over-matched against pretty much NFL team except maybe the Rams. I don't think they beat the Chiefs in their rematch.

Arizona's defense bailed them out in their win against the Texans, not once, but TWICE! The pick-6 by DRC and the goal-line stand.

I, also, see a sweep against the Bucs. They have no defense at all. I can see the Saints sweeping the Panthers, too. Yeah, they won, but the victory wasn't all that impressive over the Washington. The 'Skins look pretty bad, too.

Denver's D is for real. They have held Brady and Co. pretty much in check.
An amazing turnaround from last year's horrible defense they put on the field. After all the preseason drama, the Broncos have put that behind them. On the flip side of that, the Patriots will go down in The Dome. (And they just lost in overtime.)

Atlanta looks like they may be finding a rhythm. They dominated a very talented San Francisco defense. They are definitely the Saints only competition in the NFC South this year.

The "Cardiac Cats" pulled out another one. "Wow" is all I can say about that ending in the Bengals/Ravens game. Carson Palmer came up clutch when he needed to the most.

I still can't stand hearing about Brett Favre, but damn the guy knows how to win. He didn't need to do much since they were playing the Rams, but he just keeps on, keepin' on.

Finally, I hate Saints' bye weeks. I'm like a junkie that can't get his fix.

I watched a lot of that game and to me the whiners defense looked undisciplined and frankly not very talented. They probably looked great beating the hapless Rams and Seahawks, and everyone got on the Singletary bandwagon.

Re: Bye week observations

I think we will sweep TB and the kitties. Dallas sucks balls for sure and I think we will win in a tight one against the Giants.

Re: Bye week observations

With 4 other 5-0 teams, we'll still stay somewhat under the radar even when we beat the Giants.

With Farve at Minnesota, that will make it money we still are doubted as the best in the NFC.


But first things first... Time for a win against the Giants!

I'm not even sure we are considered one of the best teams in the NFC South to be honest.

Re: Bye week observations

I watched the Giant to see how good they are. Um but all I saw was how bad the Raiders are. They are the laffingstock of the league.

Re: Bye week observations

The Rams will be almost like a second bye week.
