Aaron Rodgers just hasnt been himself since the beginning of last season.
Never seen him have such happy feet when it just isnt necessary like he has of late either.
Lots of time to get it right, but if he doesnt figure it out the Pack will have a hard time making the playoffs.

Agreed but the offensive playcalling is absolutely brutal. All passes are outside and nothing down the middle. Mcarthy needs to fix things or go seriously

Bradford makes the Vikings a better team. Sorry, but true.

AP might be out for the year based off how that looked. Out for a while for sure.

Good for Bradford, I've always wanted to see him do well.
Must feel great getting out of Philly, that crowd was amazing

Really happy with that Steelers win ... it's just that much sweeter when it's against Cincinnati. The Steelers offense is just crazy - Brown had an off day, Ben as well to some extent, and they were again without Bell, Bryant, Wheaton and Green. Yet Ben still finishes with 3 TDs, Williams has a great game again and guys like Coates and Grimble come up with big plays.
Very lucky with that fumble call at the end though, that's for sure.

Yeah he's not been the same QB. Maybe the WR group isn't as good as it used to be but he seems nervous in the pocket and not decisive. QB's seem to be putting up a lot of yards now with the NFL making things hard for secondaries but Rogers seems to be going against the grain and putting up lower numbers.

Good news Browns fans, McCown should be out a while so that #1 pick is once again looking like a lock. Better news Jags fans: Gus Bradley has to be all but fired at this point. Why they brought him back I really don't know, but he's probably gotta win a game the next two weeks to not be fired right there.

Funny to mock, but they put more fans in their seats than the Bucs or Dolphins. Of course there should probably be no pro sports teams in Florida, but that's another discussion.

Went to Hawks / Cowboys and Stars / Sharks last year on Halloween weekend. Couple things about the hockey game. Reunion Arena is a great venue for hockey. The lighting is amazing there. You see how good it is on television and it's that much better in person. Second, the building has wide open concourses and food beverage service is amazing for selection and speed. The game day experience is so much better in a modern arena and the entertainment value is that much better. Those that say the Saddledome is good enough should attend a game at a place like Reunion. A great example is this:
700ml of ice cold goodness that comes from a kiddie pool full of ice for $9. Don't know why Canadian venues can't do this.
Third, ice girls:
The football experience at ATT is a little surreal actually given the sheer size of the building. It is MASSIVE!. Jerry's world is really a marvel to behold. It's incredibly huge and glitzy.
The scoreboard runs from 20 yard line to 20 yard line and is about 60 feet high. The definition it displays is better than your TV. It also tends to overwhelm the viewing experience as you actually end up watching a lot of the game on what amounts to a massive television.
We stayed at a hotel across the highway from ATT that ran a shuttle trolley kind of thing so getting in was easy, they get you fairly close and the walk onto ATT was not bad at all. Getting out was quite a bit longer given the traffic.
The game experience in Dallas is quite a bit different than in places like Green Bay and Seattle and even Arizona to a degree. The best way to describe it would be that it's more a corporate crowd. All around us were kids and young adults that spent the entire game texting and didn't even watch the game. The family next to us disappeared at half time and never returned. The Dallas crowd doesn't make much noise and even critical third downs might bring a quarter of them to their feet - too wealthy to stand and cheer I guess. Seahawks fans were out in force and they were often louder and more engaged than the natives.
There was fight in the second tier end zone that had about a dozen cops and security involved in at one point. Cheap thrills. The Cheerleaders dance to Thunderstruck pre-game and that is.... impressive.
This was the game that Ricardo Lockette got messed up with a career ending injury and that took a lot out of the crowd actually. We were in the lower bowl about the 5 yard line.
Surprisingly the food selection wasn't that great and idiotically expensive (like a beef brisket sandwich for $24 or something similar). Oh, and the Cowboys lost, so it was all good.
Edit: Trying to fix the photos.

Thanks for all this. Great information.
I've got box seats to the Stars game so I have that covered. Kind of sad I won't get to see everything or experience it but thats ok.
Thanks a lot for the football info!

Sounds like Prescott looked pretty good against Washington this weekend. Going to be interesting to see what Dallas does with Romo when he's healthy. Obviously they could throw him back into the mix at starter or have him be the best backup in the league but I wonder if you could dangle him in front of the Broncos for a first or second round pick.

Early under the radar story of the year: Ratings for the NFL are down across the board. Are the fans finally tired of watching the product get worse every year? Reaction to the Kaepernick thing? I definitely fall into the former, the latter I couldn't give a #### about.

as a relatively "new" fan (only 4 or 5 years that I've followed it very closely), may I ask how it's getting worse every year? Honest question.

Why in the world would the Broncos trade for broken down Romo when Siemien is playing well and they have a first round QB in the wings? No way they trade a first, second, or anything for Tony's carcass.
What they need is another TE. The ohio state kid they drafted last year sucks.
