Man, I hate the NFL's stupid TV rules. Because I live in DC the only game available to me is Redskins-Rams while I have to rely on ESPN's GameCast and the occasional game break to keep up with Eagles-Saints.
New England Patriots
Pittsburgh Steelers
Baltimore Ravens
Indianopolis Colts
Houston Texans
San Diego Chargers
Philadelphia Eagles
New York Giants
Washington Redskins (this is for you, Prole)
Dallas Cowboys
Green Bay Packers
Chicago Bears
Minnesota Vikings
New Orleans Saints
Atlanta Falcons

Heh, for some reason I'm getting the Green Bay game, which is great. But switching to other channels and seeing Women's bowling on espn and Nascar (in the pacific NW!) on some other local channel is odd.Originally Posted by GeneralHankerchief

Booyeah!!!!!!!
Antwan Odom is my new favorite bengal. 5 sacks, two of which knocked the packers out of fieldgoal range.
Defense looks great, the packers only had 1 real offensive touchdown.
Carson Palmer is awfully rusty though.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....*gasps*....nooooo...argh...*collapses*
Odom is a force unto himself.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.
Of all the "iffy" games so far, the Atlanta/Carolina match-up is the only one that I've called correctly. In every other case, I wound up picking the loser.Not an auspicious start to the weekend.
The real shockers so far (at least for me) have been Green Bay, Jacksonville, and New England. I wouldn't have given any of their opponents a snowball's chance in hell of winning today.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
In other news, my Vikings managed to beat a still-poor (albeit rapidly improving) Lions team by a relatively modest margin. Given all the talent Minnesota has on its roster, it's disturbing we beat them by "only" 14 points. If Favre and the offense don't start gelling on a more consistent basis in the next week or two -- we cannot rely exclusively on Adrian Petersen and Percy Harvin to pull our butts out of the fire all the time -- it's going to be a rough season. We're lucky in that we have a soft schedule this first month; after that, however, things are going to get much harder.

I got to watch the bengals win and then the steelers lose
Unfortunately the ravens pulled out a victory.
Bengals beating the packers wasn't a big surprise to me, I saw both teams play last week. Bengals got killed by penalties and dropped balls last week. Only one drop this week, of course 13 penalties and two interceptions
I really didn't see houston, chicago or san francisco winning though. I guess hasselbecks injury helped that.
Congrats on the win this week GH
Jets beating NE is not a huge surprise either, I had trouble picking in that game. NE looked shaky vs buffalo, and are missing mayo and welker.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
I must be out of my mind: I actually picked Detroit to beat Washington, and Cincy to beat Pittsburgh.
May the gods have mercy on me.
