As a GB fan, I have a horrible feeling about that game tomorrow. Though if Stafford is unable to go, I can relax a bit.

With the defense decimated by injuries, this club will have to score a plethora of points the rest of the way, which they can do obviously, but its a tough way to have to play every single week.

And rightly so. He is one of the best QB's in NFL history owning many NFL passing records. At the age of 40 he is having the best season of his storied career. You should enjoy the fact that you get to watch a legend like Brett Favre playing at such a high level so late in his career.

On the flip side I do agree that the Dolphins vs Patriots will be a better game than the Cards and Vikings. Division rivalries more often than not, end up being great games. Still anything can happen in either game. That is the beauty of Sunday Ticket. You can pick and choose which games you want to watch. Instead of some studio executive deciding for you based on what happened the previous season.

Even I get nauseated at the Favre love in by the media, but through 11 weeks, he's projected to have his best season ever. Which is quite the head scratcher since the guy is 40 years old.

25 Colts on the injury list:

Of course about 20 of them will play vs Houston but still.

I hope the Broncos don't let the Giants off the hook. I think I know who they are.

Oh I've enjoyed alot of gunslinging in the past, watching Marino throw to duper and clayton was a thing of beauty and watching him do it in Buffalo against Jim Kelly and his boys was even better.

Favre is having a great year far better than I thought he would but I guess with that talent he's got around him its hard not to be good, you have to be a below average qb to ruin that team.

The Giants might have fixed there problems just in time, this is a huge game for both teams and I am looking forward to it. I use to take the day off on Thursday to watch the day games, but they are looking like they will be awful this year, but I can't wait for the night cap should be a great battle between to teams battling for there playoff lives. 7-4 is almost a lock to get in the playoffs.

^^ It's funny, but it's also just the score from the first game between them this year.

Machiavelli · 11-26-2009, 12:53 PM

I want to see some Dante.

transplant99 · 11-26-2009, 02:04 PM

7-4....could be better but will take it for now. GB has a full 10 days off now as they dont play again til Dec. 7th against the Ravens on a Monday night.

Turkey and all the fixins coming out of the oven in about 25 minutes....GB wins on Thanksgiving, more football to watch, Flames win last night......Good day.

Pagal4321 · 11-26-2009, 02:24 PM

Anyone see these stats from the GB game?

7 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, 4 pass break ups, 2 INT's and 1 TD

That's some kind of line for Charles Woodson.

Machiavelli · 11-26-2009, 02:29 PM

Cowboys' keys to winning the game:

1) Don't throw to Roy Williams
2) Do throw to Miles Austin
3) Stop taking idiotic penalties
4) Profit

And people were calling me crazy for starting GB's defence

Hustle · 11-26-2009, 03:37 PM

Looks like my bold strategy of sitting Austin and starting Crabtree is in the midst of backfiring. Awful.

On the positive, it looks like the Cowboys offense has come back to life.

Sylvanfan · 11-26-2009, 03:48 PM

I knew my boy Jamarcus was not the problem in Oakland! I hope Gil Brandt stops distracting Al Davis so he can call up Tom Cable and demand that Jamarcus be put in to start the second half!

troutman · 11-26-2009, 04:24 PM

NE and NO have the most net points in their respective conferences.

Charles Woodson is making a huge case for NFC defensive player of the year. right now I think he is the favorite. He isn't just defending the pass and putting up INTs, but he is one of the their best blitzers as well as huge in run support.
He's the key to the GB defence.

LOL @ McDaniels...."all we wanna do is win a mother****ing game!" screaming on the sidelines.
