That game was awesome! And Mizzou beat the shit out of the Nebraska too.

It looks like Illinois will be ranked #18. Next week they play Iowa on ESPN 2.

Fins lose again. I even got my ticket today for Fins v Giants at Wembley. Hope it will change then.

Pats won of course

 

[skeptik]

Steelers raped and pillaged, Willie Parker has the most yards in the league.

Sox sweep the Angels. Indians will probably sweep the Yankees (it's already 2-0). I'm quite sure that the Sox can beat the Indians, and decisively at that.

The Colts are clearly the best team in the NFL. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge this is braindead.

 

[skeptik]

Honestly, I think the Patriots are the best team in the NFL. The Colts have the best group of players. The Patriots have the ability to take down injured players and have somebody adequately fill their shoes. That has long been their key to success. I don't think Indianapolis really has that luxury. But as long as their players are healthy, I think that they are better than the Patriots.

 

[cookiecutter]

I think that's a good assessment

 

[Life Sucks]

It seems the Patriots have better defense than the Colts (I'm not one of those stats expert guys so forgive me if I'm wrong). But the Colts have a better offense, and Peyton Manning is better than Tom Brady. The Patriots are the second best team in the NFL; they are DEFINITELY better than the Cowboys, who are the third best team in the NFL.

Also can't count out the Packers...I don't know how they're doing it, but they are. If the Steelers didn't get upset by the Cardinals last week, I would put them up there as well, especially after today, playing with several key players out, but last week proved that they have chinks in the armor. They they do (easily) have one of the best defenses and rushing attacks in the league and a very intelligent quarterback. I honestly expected the Steelers to do very poorly this year, but they've had the singular division lead since week 2.

 

[skeptik]

Yankees just took the lead. I bet TIACN is flipping the fuck out right now.

 

[Matt]

Also can't count out the Packers...I don't know how they're doing it, but they are.

They lead 7-0 right now and would've led 14-0 if dumbass jones hadn't fumbled

 

[Valerie]

Go Yankees. Joe Torre looks like a zombie.

You obviously didn't watch the Colts game today. Besides, what's the difference between a "team" and a "group of players?"

edit: Just for my amusement, these Colts starters didn't play:
Marvin Harrison
Freddy Keiaho
Joseph Addai
Bob Sanders
Ben Utecht
and our punt/kick off returner TJ Rushing

Even with these guys out, we destroyed a GOOD team today. Not some 2-3 or 1-4 team like the Patriots have been playing.

 

[AchrisK]

From here on out, it's all BOLTS!!!

I can't wait until we get to end the Colts winning streak!

...like I said...

Chargers 41
Broncos 3

in Denver!

WooHoo!

I hope this has brought them all the way out of their funk.

 

[Matt]

The Pack is almost certainly back this year. 17-7. It would have been 31-7 is Jones hadn't fumbled twice.

 

[King Richard]

Yeah, the Packers are looking good, and the Bears defense is looking mediocre at best, just like I said they would before the season started.

 

[Matt]

I also have a feeling my fantasy team is gonna get raped. Half my fuckin team is not playing.

 

[King Richard]

ya you should prolly check that eh?
