Mark Schlereth said on ESPN today that Titans have the number one defense? Maybe he should do his homework.....

check out the turn of events in the AFC east- I support my dolphins 100% but I am hesitant to believe in this- I just want them to keep playing hard

If you go by points allowed, TEN is #1 with 103 PA, were #2 with 116.

Judging by how we rank in yardage, and that weve played a tougher schedule, its easy to see PIT D is clearly the best in the NFL

And thats not even considering were #1 in sacks, and Woodley and Silverback are going to completely blister Lloyd&Greene's PIT record of 24 sacks in a season between 2 players

[easy way]

let's go brady quinn :-)

No Penny....no. We're Bronco's fans, remember?  ;)

...these are not the droids you are looking for.

Quinn seems to be having a solid game so far (now in the 4th quarter), but Winslow has fucked them on the last 2 possessions. He had a costly penalty on the last drive, and just now had a fumble that led to a Bronco touchdown to put them in the lead.

[corey]

The Broncos are in the victory formation. Way to go, Winslow!

[easy way]

Man, I'm glad that losing streak is over. Bronco's back on the winning end of things....5-4.

Broncos dont deserve to be above .500......They have a talented QB, WR, and up and coming WR, but their D is terrible.

I think by the end of things, SD might end up beating them out in the AFC West. Not that thats saying much, but I still think theyre the better team out there.

That game was crazy.....I was pumped I have Eddie Royal on my fantasy team....but I can't remember a team blowing it that quickly.  Denver should be better than their record, but their D is hurting.  Quinn looked good but so do a lot of people against the Broncos D.

Defensive end JUSTIN TUCK of the New York Giants is the DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK for games played on November 2 - 3, the NFL announced today.

Man this dude is awesome.....after losing Osi and Strahan it is amazing he's putting up the numbers he is being double teamed as much as he is.

[Penny Lane]

sigh---i'm glad i didn't buy that kellen winslow jersey---how did that happen? i'm pumped about brady quinn, though--

[bold99]

Winslow actually had a great game...besides dropping that 4th down pass...oh and the fumble...lol.

Did I or did I not Jedi Mind Trick you a couple posts ago?  Maybe I'll try some voodoo.  ;)

Okay I've got to bitch about a couple things:

1) Cincy's Adam Whitworth got his helmet ripped off and nearly got his eyes intentionally gauged out last week. What does the NFL do?  Fine both players 10K.  What!?  They're supposedly fining everyone for everything to protect players from injury and this guy gets off with a 10k fine? Sure Whitworth threw a few haymakers but he could've lost his eyes.  Who wouldn't've done the same thing?

2) Ryan Torain gets intentionally injured on Thursday night football this week.  That guy obviously knew Torain's knee was in an awkward position and tried to injury him. It worked.  He's out for the season after only playing two quarters in his rookie year (1 TD, 68 yards, btw).  And then the guy is obviously taunting him as he lays injured . On top of that, the announcers make no mention of it! They just finish their canned story about how Torain's an "unknown". The NFL could still rule against that dude but  something tells me the punishment is not going to fit the crime.    >:( >:( >:( >:(

OK, yes, I have Torain in fantasy football and I'm a diehard Bengals fan but still.  I had to get that shit off my chest

There was also the possession before the fumble when Quinn completed a pass to someone else for a first down. Winslow, about 10 yards from where the catch was made, got flagged for offensive pass interference so the play was called back and then they failed to convert the first down and were forced to punt. I'm pretty sure the Broncos scored on that possession but I could be mistaken.

Yeah Giants!  wow what a hard fought game.   They really just won the game and thats all they needed to do.  They made a ton of mistakes...fumbles, int and weak pass D but they came out with a W and are 3-0 in what is their tough part of the schedule.

How bout Philly running Westbrook those last 2 plays when he hadnt done jack all game?! Bad play-calling right there (though the GMen took care of what they needed to do)

Also, Reid electing to go for that extra point instead of 2 after that last TD was retarded. 1 point did nothing. If they got the 2, and then went down the field after they stopped the GMen on that subsequent drive, they would be up 3 (instead of 2) and im much better position for it to at worst likely go into OT.

GMen have nearly sealed 1st in the NFC East with that win

Yeah Reid was bitter after the game....he barely answered questions about that.  Giants took Westbrook completely out of the game.  It was a weird game because Giants really dominated but right when it looked like they would pull away they would fumble or do something dumb to keep philly in it.  If you look at the time of possession, running yards it looks like it should've been a blowout.

[bold99]

Anyone see the end of the Az/SF game?  oh man SF has the worst play calling in football.  No way they should not of won that game.
