Yeah, the Giants defense has been awful, they've taken the stupid penalties I talked about and they can't tackle a crap RB like Reggie bush.

Maybe its just a team that isnt playing well and not someone "rigging" a game? It does happen afterall...just look at the Saints today.

Im no Saints fan...but its a very simple explanation...they aren't playing worth a damn...looks like they took St lou with no Bradford lightly...the Cards are still a pro football team with good players, and its showing.

Ponder playing well again this week. He's keeping it really simple.

Harvin's also having a really good game.

Well that was a close one. I knew Sparano would coach scared when it counts. The same as last week.

Sparano is an average coach. Average coaches prepare there team well. Sparano does that. The dolphins play well most of the time in the first half. The issue is that great coaches make adjustments at half time to shore up issues. Sparano gets so outcoached at half time it's not even funny.

The worst part is the Dolphins are not a horrible team. They are just playing bad and there coaching staff is not helping them succeed.

All game tthey couldn't cover the middle of the field. Yet the coachign staff never made an adjustment for that.

The suck for Luck continues. I knew my boys wouldn't let me down!

Missed FG! Huzzah! First win for Ponder!

Mare did the defence a huge favour there. They almost lost the game in the end

Good comeback by the Ravens, that O-line is terrible though.

Really? I think they are atrocious...and much of that comes to personnel as well as coaching. Luck would be a nice starting point but they have holes everywhere.

Than the answer is simple. They replaced the useless Ram football players with winners from their championship baseball team. Saints had no answer for David Freese today.

We have holes no doubt but we have talented players. The dolphins actually could be 3-4 or 4-3 this year with proper coaching. They are not horrible but they are below average. The QB needs an upgrade, The TE spot needs an upgrade. The O-Line is decent, but needs one or two more pieces there. Thomas has lots of potential as a RB. The WR corp is decent. Bess and Marshall are good, while Hartline is not bad. The defensive secondary is attrocious and the linebackers are average. The front 4 should be playing better and upgrade there is needed. Cameron Wake must have thought that after one good year that teams wouldn't learn how to play against him. Well teams have figured him out, this isn't the CFL. He gets no pressure on the qb anymore.

They played like poo, especially the offensive line who did nothing to protect Brees today. In no way should the Rams beat the Saints given the talent NO has. Not impressed at all.

I don't think there would be a noticeable difference if the Pats swapped their defense with the Roughriders...

I know Belicheat is a supposed " genius" but that onside kick was an odd call and executed horribly.

But, but, but if you talk to him you realize just how special he is.

It amazes me how much Teblow lovers think that is a valid defense for the fact that he can't throw the ball or read a defense.

The patriots have issues....Buffalo has a legitimate shot at winning that division.

Im no pats fan but holy crap is Wes Welker a gamer...he takes huge shots time after time and still gets back up.

They can't go back to Orton now. They have to go with Tebow for the rest of the year and then decide what they want to do after that.

It's going to be most unenjoyable.
