After last week’s debacle in London, the Bills are spending their Bye Week licking their wounds and wishing they were as good as the 7-0 New England Patriots who own the AFC East. How will your favorite NFL team do today?
If the Texans lose to the Titans, Bill O’Brien might be packing his bags. Since Jerry Jones owns the Cowboys, nobody can fire him. Which is a shame. The Seahawks should clobber the ‘Boys today.
After last week’s gift of a win, when the Colts only decided to show up to play in the second half of the game, the 3-4 Saints meet up with the 4-3 Giants today in the Superdome. The teams seem rather evenly-matched; and, while I’d like to see the Saints go to 4-4, I’m not confident of what the outcome will be.
Deb, that was an amazing game! According to the commentators, the 53-49 score was the third highest in NFL history. Drew Brees had 511 yards and SEVEN TDs! Astonishing!
And yet the Saints won on a last-second field goal! Neither team’s defense showed up yesterday, it was just a matter of which team had the ball last. But to hear the sports announcers on tv last night, you’d have thought Breese was Brady leading his team through another undefeated juggernaut of a season!
Deb, that Saints win over the Giants keeps the Saints in the Playoff race. I’m sure the game’s 101 points can be “spun” a lot of different ways, but I’m with you: neither defense showed up.

Deb, I’m not confident either. Before the season started I would have said the Giants would be in trouble in The Big Easy. Then the Saints fell apart. But the Giants have been so erratic and so unable to finish off even a weak opponent (like the Cowboys last week) that you never know who will show up. I’d say the Giants have a good chance but I would not put money on them, even if I did bet on games (which I don’t).
the chargers will probably fall apart again. Phillip Rivers deserves a better team and certainly better owners and coaching staff. I wasn’t a big shottenheimer fan, but certainly wonder why he was let go with a winning record and they kept other coaches. they also kept AJ Smith way too long.
Maggie, I’ve always liked the Chargers. But after that fiasco with Eli Manning the franchise has struggled. I like Rivers, but he doesn’t seem to fit with his team.
the owners are the worst ever. The way they are treating Eric Weddle is despicable Rivers can’t do it all by himself. So far (1145) they’ve had 8 players injured
Our paper today had a sports columnist suggest that we let the chargers go, keep the name and get the Dolphins to move here (guess they’re unhappy there). I’d go for that if they get rid of the dirtiest player in the NFL, Suh. I don’t want any player to get hurt, but I don’t feel that way about dirty players, and he is just the worst.
All defense, both teams. I wonder what has happened to the Seahawks offense? Could it have something to do with the O-line they have failed to address in the last two or three drafts?
What’s your guess!
Patti, a cheerleader taking one of my classes.
Since I’m originally from New England, George, I’m looking forward to the next stop in the Tom Brady/Patriots Revenge Tour.
Jerry, Tom Brady and the Patriots may go 16-0.

Bill, after last night’s win over the Mets, Texas Ranger fans have to be wondering “What If?”

Deb, I’ll be watching the Giants vs. the Saints game today. As you say: evenly matched. I think the Saints have the edge.

They need this one.
Jeff, since the Bills are off today, we’re getting both NY teams on CBS and FOX. I’m interested in the Jets vs. Raiders, too.

Maggie, another tough loss for the Chargers. I thought they could beat the Ravens.
The NY Times is picking the Saints, for what that’s worth, and the Raiders over the Jets.
Most people here are more wrapped up in the Mets (not me) and the NY Marathon.
Jeff, the Mets gave last night’s game away with those fielding gaffs. No interest in the Marathon. But I think the Jets might surprise the Raiders.
I would definitely have more confidence picking the Jets today than the Giants.
Hope Seattle can win.

Maggie, a number of NFL teams seem to be on the move. I’m sure San Diego could attract another team.
Seahawks beat Dallas 13-12. Pathetic.
Bob, a win is a win. No style points in the NFL…
All defense, both teams. I wonder what has happened to the Seahawks offense? Could it have something to do with the O-line they have failed to address in the last two or three drafts?
Rick, time catches up to all teams. Maybe all that money they gave to Graham cost them signing a couple offensive linemen.
