I hope Cincy does their job and Chicago gets their crap together today.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Let's hope Cutler doesn't have another 4th quarter meltdown.

I don't trust Cincy. Especially after AJ injury. Defense wins this game.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Pretty common for Cutler. Had the Bears followed through, we'd be even further in the mix for the division. Amazingly we're not out at all.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

I would say that the Bears would have a chance, if they were playing in Chicago. I just can't see them hanging with Atlanta in the Georgia Dome

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Bengals will bounce back against the Panthers. I wouldn't want to play the Bengals after a loss.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Obvious pulling for Bengals to bury the Panthers.

side note...Greg Olsen story on son TJ heart issues was a tear jerker just now on FOX pregame.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Yeah just saw that. Sad story.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

I guess we are pulling for the Seahawks in tonight's game since the Cowboys own the tiebreaker against us?

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

For now, yes. All this positioning and speculation depends on the Saints coming out after the bye a new team :p

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

I can never pull for the Seahawks. Tiebreaker be damned.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Yawn....wait....what? There's football today? I guess Sundays aren't the same without my Saints. I even slept in.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Not sure how many are watching Bengals/Panthers. If the Bengals get to Newton early and hit he will get frustrated. You don't have to sack him but put him on the ground. He has been deadly accurate staying in the pocket this year. It seems his receivers get separation which of course helps. Key is to him Newton early and often. If you do he gives up.

First Panthers opening drive. Bengals were hosed by Officials on 3rd down play that gave the Panthers the ball on first down for easy TD. Newton wasn't rocked at all.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

I have the Broncos/Jets and Packers/Dolphins

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

I hope we don't play the Packers this year...

Oh, shat. We play the Packers this year...

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Jets are looking decent against the Broncos, winning 7-3...

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Miami with horrible play calling.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Prater missed 50 yarder. lol

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Lions scored on first possession ... too easy ... Vikings defense handling them since then. Vikes woulda' tied it up on their first possession, but 'Touchdown' Teddy Bridgewater threw an interception in the redzone to kill the drive.

Yes, Prater missed his first field goal attempt as a Lion, :rolleyes: ... go figure. The Lions have now missed 9 FGA in the first 6 games to equal the total missed by the worst team last season (Bullock-HOU).

Suh was double-teamed only three of the first 12 plays, or 25% as I have oft stated/observed ... myth-busted once again, ;).

Take heart, Saints fans ... it's the same ol' Lions, :neutral:.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Stafford is taking some vicious hits.

Gio just scored long TD!

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

RB Bernard for the Bengals just ran an 89yd touchdown from the line of scrimmage. Panthers D looked poor.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Flacco has 5 TDs vs Tampa.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

no melt downs from ST today , blood pressure normal today he he he

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Refs are helping Carolina. Strange calls.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Ivory is starting to get rolling for the Jets, just lit up Von Miller... Put him out of the game for the time being

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Yeah, I guess we really hurt Tampa last week...or that's what im telling myself.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Pretty obscene. Boggles the mind how some players end up in a bad place. gimme 2 weeks of that and im set for life.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Are those empty seats at Tampa 1/2 time hot dog queues or have people just left the game in droves?

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Its a new world:

Pittsburgh
Comp Att Yds Pct Y/A TD Int QBRat
Ben Roethlisberger 8 17 89 47.1 5.2 0 0 63.1 0

Cleveland
Comp Att Yds Pct TD Int QBRat
Brian Hoyer 5 11 146 45.5 1 0 122.4

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Andy Dalton threw a pick. Almost pick 6.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Dalton's 40000 yard interception was one of the worst throws ive ever seen.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

That was a BAD pass for a pro QB. Wow. Kinda Drew Breesus looking. About to go up two scores and now tied. Kuechly looked concussed but back in. Big MO with Panthers now.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Prater with another miss. 44 yds

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Maybe they knew something we didn't know...

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

He'll settle into a groove. I'd have taken him. But then, I don't know much~ but i know I~ love you~

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Bengals blowing up.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Cam with rushing TD. 24-17 panthers

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Happens every year. Bengals start out undefeated and end up 8-8, or something like that. Pretty typical.

Re: LIVE OPEN THREAD - BYE WEEK, ALL TEAMS, ALL GAMES
 

Bungles sucking bad. A ton of penalties. False starts at home. Need a first down here and Harper INT> #3 on the year for him.
