Lions are starving for a win. They are finally home and against a team on their level. Should be interesting.

The Lions and 49ers both should win. I know it's Jacksonville and they're in a classic letdown situation, but I don't think anybody can pick the Bills with any confidence this year in any matchup.

The Jags are favored to win by 1. I have no confidence in Buffalo so this game will possibly be a play for me.

I feel confident you won't be 2nd after this week and I'll continue to be 1st. :wink:

I hope Austin Collie will play, I need him, Dwayne Bowe has disappointed, unless he will be out of his funk, he did get a TD despite only 2 rec.

this is what is ridiculous about media outlets, and several around here who religiously obey and are hypnotized by those very same said media outlets.

there is virtually ZERO criticism of these new quarterbacks, yet mark sanchez was totally BLASTED as a BUST when he had a few picks here or there and had a rookie season, that led his team to the AFCfinals.

ridiculous.

the jets have faced off with a tough patriot team. dolphins team. ravens team. etc... and now minnesota on a monday nite with randy moss as a wide out.

when SANCHIZE delivers on monday, he needs to be given his props and bowed down to!

Actually have to agree. Sanchez was a bust for doing exactly what Bradford is doing. Throwing 5 yard passes, and more picks than TDs, and sub par %.

Sanchez got so much more criticism because he was holding back a team that could have been better with virtually any other starter. Bradford is playing better than Sanchez did and is having success on a team with zero expectations.

Complete BS move by Shanahan to cut Devin Thomas. You can't tell me this was because Thomas isn't better than old fart Galloway or Roydell Williams.

I like the direction Shanny is taking us but his personal beef with players is absolutely annoying.

I realise the dude is a USC homer, but, yeah, you can't say Sanchez "threw a few picks here and there". He had 5 TDs and 10 picks in his first 6 games, including 5 picks against Buffalo. Bradford has 6/6 in his first 4 games. Marginally better. By the way, the media couldn't have slobbered over Sanchez' dick anymore than they did after "he won" his first three games. No double standard here.

T.O. keeping things going with a touchdown.

Matt Forte already has over 100 yards on the ground and two touchdowns.

Hakeem Nicks has two receiving touchdowns for the Giants.

Nice start!

Screw your fantasy team.

...Not that it would have mattered, but it certainly doesn't help that half my team is either hurt or on a bye week. :/

McNabb is getting murdered by the GB defense. Only going to get worse because Heyer is coming in for Jamal Brown.
