Yeah, was watching that game today, domination with a capital d. Surely the Bengals cant bounce back from that, even with the home advantage. Love watching a bit of NFL when I have the time. Don't have a particular team per se, but have been quietly supporting the Vikings this season with Brett Favre playing so well.

i'm honestly not sure what to make of this past week's games. some teams didn't play their starters for very long as there wasn't much to play for in some cases. it's also interesting because 3 games are now going to be repeats in the 1st round of the playoffs with cowboys-eagles, cardinals-packers, and bengals-jets all facing off again.
i wouldn't be surprised to see the losers from this week do well next week. i think some were holding back or just not trying at all outright.

The Jets could easily lose if the Bengals get their run-defence organised. We don't have a Plan B: it's just run-defend-run-defend.
It's true that at the business end of the season you need a team that can run and defend, but I can't see the Jets getting much further, when they are effectively playing without a QB.
If Sanchez fulfils his potential, though, I think my long suffering support for the Jets might pay off in the next 3-5 years.
Brett Favre is always worth watching. Keeps the play alive forever then finds someone open for half a second. Simply the best.

Sorry, late to the party.
So even though half the games are over, let me give you my "expert" predictions for this weekend.
Bengels over Jets
Eagles over Dallas
Ravens over Pats
Packers over Cards
So 0 and 2 so far. Like I said, expert. I really thought the Iggles and Cinci would show up this week after laying duds last week. So much for that. Cowboys head to the Viking next week, and the Jets wait to see the result of the Baltimore/NE game to see where they are playing. The Ravens game is the only one I really give a shit about. Hell, I am from Baltimore. No Wes Welker is a huge plus. Losing 120 catches and 1400 yards is a killer fo any team. The Ravens should have won their regular season matchup. If not for a simple Mark Clayton drop, they would have. A win over the Pats will earn Baltimore a trip to San Diego, which is preferred as Indy has owned the Ravens over the last 6 plus years. Ideally, we need to beat the Pats, beat the Bolts, have the Jets beat Indy, and then we host the Jets in Baltimore for the AFC Championship.
And pigs fly.

Whoops. Jets are 5th seed, we are the 6th seed. So a trip to Indy if we win. Greeeeaaaaattt.
24 - 0 to the Ravens after the 1st quarter. The Ravens defense is on fire. Multiple turnovers baby. Thats how we role!

So I went one for four on the weekend. But I don't give a shit, cause the one I picked right was my Ravens. Whoo hoo!

rc, i support the pats, and i have to say that was a pretty clinical dismissal today by your ravens. never thought this was the pats year, but i was expecting a better show than that. well done.
thought the packers and cardinals game was the most entertaining game of the weekend. what a shoot out. can't wait for next weekend.

J-e-t-s Jets!
I felt sorry for the Bengals. They really didn't regroup after Chris Henry's death.
I've only seen the highlights but it looked like Sanchez threw a few passes, so we have some kind of chance against the Seahawks.
Watched the Baltimore game. Pats couldn't take a trick. What's with Randy Moss? Couldn't get away from defence all day.

All the good defensive teams (except for the packers) won this weekend - the jets have the best defense in the league statistically and a defensive mastermind as a coach, the cowboys have the most unstopable defence at the moment and the ravens defence has been doing this for 10 years. The last few super bowl winning teams have all had great defences and a running game to lean on. The cold weather makes passing even harder yet this year none of the stadiums appear to have the weather as a factor.
Unlucky for the Jets because they have to play the chargers who are probably the best team in the nfl at the moment. Their offense is near unstoppable with Phillip Rivers, Antonio Gates and the double headed running game of LT and sproles.
The Vikings Cowboys game should be good but Dallas seem to be too good at the moment. they have the largest o-line in the league and if they can manage to maintain jarred allen and the williams duo the dallas could win. the shutdown of philly's passing game by the dallas secondary's is positive for dallas as minnesota have focused more on their aerial attack instead of ground.

Didn't know you followed the NFL Lindo. Got a team?
Should be some very cold and snowy games next week.
Rusty, I don't think the Colts are as good as their record suggested up until a couple of weeks ago. They got lucky a few times. They're beatable, for sure.
The Dallas-Minnesota game certainly looks the highlight of the round.

Late to the party again. My picks for this weekend are
Cards over Saints
Ravens over Colts
Cowboys over Vikings
Chargers over Jets
0 for 1 so far. Reggie Bush had a blinder, and Kurt Warner got knocked out effectivly in the first half to allow the Saimnts to run away with the victory. Ravens Colts in progress already. 3 zippy to Indy early in the first quarter.

Half time. All Colts. Leading 17 - 3. As I feared (and expected). God damn Colts. This will be the 8th win in a row for the old Baltimore team over the new Baltimore team.

pretty monstrous streak isn't it? considering that the ravens aren't too bad of a team. would love to see it broken but only one half of play left.
for tomorrow's games i'm going with minny and sd. i think romo will finally do something stupid (he's overdue) and minny at home is a good advantage. the jets d is good but i'm not sure they can contain rivers. he just doesn't give up. and i don't think the rookie qb will get lucky twice.

Colts vs Ravens was pretty dull. Ravens had absolutely nothing in the passing game. It wasn't just the 5 drops, none of their receivers could get any seperation. They really need to get some wide receivers and maybe even a replacement for Todd Heap.
Colts looked like they had plenty of gas in the tank and didn't have to play with a huge amount of intensity. They're well placed.

Awful game. The Ravens where plain shit. Hopefully the two games today make up for the boring blowouts yesterday.
