Deb won’t have to worry about this game. The 6-1 Saints are coming off a bye and face the 3-4 Bills. The Saints are favored by 12 points. My sister Karen will be in attendance. Karen’s visiting her daughter, Tara, who has season tickets to the Saint games. I’m just hoping the Bills can keep the game close. But in the last three games the Saints have played after a bye, they’ve averaged over 40 points a game and won by an average of 17 points. Not good for the Bills prospects this week. This is Week Eight of the 2013 NFL season. How do you think your favorite NFL team is doing?
The Saints are actually 5-1, George; and while I don’t like to count my chickens–especially when it comes to sports–I have a good feeling about this game. Still, as my husband is wont to say, count no game over until the final whistle.
Deb, I guess I was already putting this game in the Saints’ Win Column. Drew Brees is a Hall of Fame quarterback. Thad Lewis is a Practice Squad QB. This game should be No Contest.
The ‘Skins will probably go down to Denver today. RG III is looking more like his old self, but still… Peyton will not likely lose two in a row.
George, I keep telling you, Lewis is the starter, not the practice squad guy. He was once, but he’s not now. Give him a chance. I’d love to see an upset, just for the fun of it, but it’s not a game broadcast here anyway. I guess I’ll watch Patriots-Dolphins. Seattle plays tomorrow. They should beat the Rams, who are without Bradford.
Randy, the Colts exposed holes in the Denver defense. RGIII could have a big day.
Rick, the Seahawks could run the table. I don’t see a team on their remaining schedule who could beat them. Thad Lewis is playing only because Kevin Kolb is out with a concussion and E. J. Manuel has a sprained LCL. This is Lewis’ third NFL start…and he’s facing a future Hall of Fame QB: Drew Brees. This game could get ugly fast.
I know all that George, but still, he’s the starter. I’m doubt the Seahawks win win the rest. They have to play the Saints and the Niners in SF, and the Falcons aren’t as bad as their record.
Ok–now the Saints are 6-1! On to the Meadowlands and the Jets.
Rick, our former Practice Squad QB fumbled the ball three times and threw an interception in the Saint game. The only reason why Thad Lewis isn’t still on the Practice Squad is because all the Bills’ real QBs are hurt.
Deb, congratulations to you and the Saints. The Bills are a couple of years away from contending with the elite teams in the NFL.
I was glad to see Detroit come back to beat the Cowboys. NFC east is a mess.
Rick, I think Calvin Johnson is the best player in the NFL. His 329 receiving yards astonished me!
If Calvin Johnson was at New England they might be unbeaten.
I told you the Jets were doomed in Cincinnati. That was embarrassing. Glad the Giants won (though they are not going to the playoffs, no matter what some players think) but the really happy news was the Cowboys getting torched and turning on each other. Ameirca’s Team, not!
You walk around the casinos in Vegas and every single game is on at least one television, and all the dealers are wearing different team jerseys.
