NFL: Week 11

[Crothian]

Okay, haven't had a NFL thread for a while and with the season about to roll into high gear with all the teams hoping to make a run for the playoffs it should be really good. The Steelers survive a scare in Cincy, the Colts are looking like they are unstopible, the Vikings have a great comback in Detriot, the Ellie era starts in New York......

Lots of things going on in the NFL, what's your take?

My take is that I would rather be watching the Atlanta game than the Philly game.

 

[Crothian]

The Atlanta game is not that exciting. The giants recievers are dropping everything, and Vick is running wild.

 

[DaveStebbins]

Actually, in the second half, things have turned around. Eli looks more comfortable and the Falcons are acting intimidated. The Giants have got first and goal to potentially tie the game right now.

The BIG story of the day, of course, is how great the Buffalo Bills looked in dismantling the Rams.

 

[Crothian]

No one ciorcles the wagons like the Buffolo Bills!!!!

And ya, the Giants Falcons game is a bit better but the Falcons have a 4 point lead and are driving as the time ticks away.

 

[ph34r]

But I like Mike Vick and hate Philly.

Well, when they meet in the NFC Championship game we know who you'll be rooting for!!

Last year's Panthers nonwithstanding, when someone stumbles to a division based on a soft schedule and lack of competition (and make no mistake, this is what the Falcons are doing now, and will probably do for the remainder of the year; the only remaining game they might be an underdog in -- assuming no one improves substantially in the second half of the season -- is their final game at Seattle), they lose their first playoff game. I think it'd be poetic justice if the Pack went down to Atlanta and beat them in their dome, but that's just me...

 

[Crothian]

Can't it be argued with the state of the NFC right now, that all their teams have a soft schedule?

I don't care which one of them would win. I was just stating that out of the games shown on Fox at 4pm, I would have rather been watching Atlanta play.
