The woeful Buffalo Bills have lost their last eight away games. Surprisingly, the Bills are favored by 3 points today in their game at Cleveland. The last few meetings of these two bottom-feeder NFL teams have been predictably ugly. I’m trying to forget the 2009 6-3 debacle where the Browns and Bills couldn’t manage to score a touchdown (but the Bills found a way to lose). The Big News around here is that Time-Warner, our cable TV provider, has finally signed a contract to carry the NFL CHANNEL. Now I wonder how much my cable bill is going to go up. How is your favorite NFL team going to do today?
They can’t lose!
Of course that’s because they won on Thursday night. It was amazing. Eli’s jersey was as clean at the end of the game as it was at the start. The Panthers never touched him.
Eli sure looked like “an elite Quarterback” in that game, Jeff!
The Seahawks play the Packers Monday night and I expect them to get whipped badly. I’ll watch, of course, but perhaps through my fingers as they partially cover my eyes…
The Oregon Ducks won pretty big last night, with defense for once. That was nice.
The Packers looked bad against the 49ers, Rick. Maybe they have trouble with West Coast teams…which bodes well for the Seahawks.
Yay!
Yes, the Bills managed a rare road game win, Patti. Sadly, the Lions lost in Overtime in Tennessee.
Parity is right. I can’t believe some of today’s results. Can’t believe the Saints are 0-3 and with the Super Bowl in New Orleans too.
And the Arizona Cardinals are 3-0, Jeff! Everyone was anointing the 49ers as NFC Champs a week ago. Then came their ill-fated trip to Minnesota…
🙁
It’s a long season, Drongo. Peyton hasn’t played in a year and a half. It’s going to take some time for him to get the rust off. Plus, the Broncos play in a division where you can make up a lot of ground in a short period of time.
The officials were the biggest story yesterday, in my opinion. They were awful! A player gets a head-to-head so bad he has to be medi-evaced to the hospital with a concussion and neck injury and it’s not called????? What the???? The longer the incompetent officials are left on the field the more this kind of thing will happen. And that ref throwing his hat on the field during a play and the receiver slipping on it in the end zone? That could have been a touchdown catch instead of a field goal. I’m sick and tired of it and I think the NFLPA should step up and threaten action if the real officials aren’t given a contract and brought back ASAP.
Did anybody watch the end of the Packer/Seahawk game tonight? What the…
Totally predictable, Drongo! The “Replacement Refs” have been blowing calls since the pre-season games. This time, it cost Green Bay a game.
