Yeah, that was just unbelievable, but in the end, the W works out just fine.

The win does make it better.

Absolutely. He'll need to stay healthy and his linemen need to stay on top of their game as well. But we all know how that goes. This is a game of injuries after all. Just ask P. Manning.

Speaking of which... they're now down by 3.

Right you better have a good line because a qb running for your life isn't good.

Steelers D is looking pretty good for their best pass rusher, and cover safety not playing. I just wonder how long Manning can keep slinging the ball accurately. Been a good game so far.

As for the rest of the NFL this Sunday, I really don't see where any game was an "upset". Maybe the Jets putting up a 40-burger was a shocker, but I'm not "shocked" by their win.

Green Bay is finding out a championship schedule is a little harder to swallow. No soft schedule this season, and they can't hang when a D doesn't allow them to score 4 or 5 TDs. Their D is still bottom shelf it seems, but all is still early.

And these "refs" better thank the good Lord those blown calls didn't lead to San Fran or Arizona losing. Good job for those teams to hang in during adversity.

Saints losing to a Redskins wasn't an upset?

Eagles will have a 10 - 6 season.

Survivor picks for the week

Eagles

Texans

Falcons

Not bad.

 

[sprig0701]

The refs are bad in this game too

Like Dumervill hitting Ben's facemask, and that blatant hold on the back of Mundy's jersey on that TD? No call on either. Good game.

Saints losing to a Redskins wasn't an upset?

No, a steady QB and all the Saint's off season drama, I think Cleveland could've won there.

 

[sprig0701]

Well a call goes their way, so to speak, and it's that. The 1st half was good.

Broncos can't get off the field on 3rd down to save their lives.

 

[sprig0701]

Dedicating too much to the pass rush and run stopping. Leaving the middle way to open.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

That was a nice win by the 49ers on the road.

 

[sprig0701]

I do like Champ Bailey. Just a classy guy. Hell of a CB, too.

 

[sprig0701]

That was a nice win by the 49ers on the road.

Huge! Retarded "experts" pegged them "unstoppable" and "definite Super Bowl XLVII champs". Now let's see if that inflates their egos and causes them to take game lightly.

You feeling alright after that nail-biter?

I hate saying this, go steelers.

Irregardless of the offseason drama, the Redskins beating the Saints in the Superdome was an upset.

Denver losing is more important.

 

[sprig0701]

Irregardless of the offseason drama, the Redskins beating the Saints in the Superdome was an upset.

I disagree. Some of their players on D weren't even at camp, and Washington's team is fairly good, given a manageable QB.

Denver losing is more important.

I understand, division rivalry.

 

[sprig0701]

I just hope Pittsburgh can control the clock like they've been and score another TD.

 

[mfoga]

Vegas had it 8.5 to 9 points. That's a big upset.

I disagree. Some of their players on D weren't even at camp, and Washington's team is fairly good, given a manageable QB.

Being it's Week 1, you have to go off last year's results and Washington was a horrible team and thus it was an upset. Add the fact that the Saints hardly ever lose in the Superdome and that equals upset.
