Lots of ifs that will be solved come next Thursday night.
I think the Detroit game will be tougher than this week's game.

I like them big over the Vikings. They should get by Detroit too.

The AFC is wide open.

I defintley like the Fish over the Vikings. WIth the way that Dolphins defense has been playing, against the Vikings horrible offense, it's defintley a game that Dolphins can win.

How about those Niners? The freaking 49'ers are 4-5!! A franchise defintley headed in the right direction finally. Vernon Davis has been injured for a good chunk of the year, this guy is an absolute sick athlete and will help out Smith a ton. Gore has come out of nowhere to have the potential to possibly be one of the leagues best young running backs. Awsome to see

As a Colts fan I really will not be that disapointed with a loss this sunday. Just so there's no annoying undefeated talk 24/7.

Troy Brown is the most underrated player in the league. He's starting at both wide receiver and defense today (corner back I think?). At age 35 no less. The man must be in awesome shape. 7-0 Pats.

Well the Chiefs escape by the narrowest of margins finding a way to come back with a win over the Raiders. Defence get's zero sacks against the Raiders....But Larry Johnson gets the rock 30 times and goes for 150+ yards again. Hopefully a few of the injured can get healthy in time for the battle with Denver. That or the Bolts can take a few key Bronco's out of action to give the Chiefs a chance in that game. Sorry Dis.

Frank Gore is AWESOME.

Honestly, Does "Conclusive evidence" mean something different to the referees?

I like the instant replay, but they are overturning calls on way too little info.

The real Seneca Wallace showed up today.

Unlike his two wins which were thanks to points early in the game, aka scripted plays by Holmgren, he throws 2 absoutley brutal interceptions in the first half. 13 points of turnovers...and really should've been down another 7 at half thanks to bad SF play calling and a kick miss...

Overthrows, throwing behind guys. All to the easiest team to score on this year in the NFL.

Then, after getting back into the game a series of 3 more overthrows, forced to go for 4th down. Misses it....but then a Frank Gore fumble gives them the ball the next play (with under 2 mins to go), a minor miracle... but, another SF sack after he holds onto the ball for far too long, then Wallace throws as horrendous an interception as you'll see in College or Pro football...no SEA receiver within 10 yards.

ANOTHER SF kick miss from under 20 yds giving Wallace a 3rd chance...2 brutal thows, then throws a 5 yd slant with under 20 seconds to go with no timeouts on his own 20 on 3rd down.

Hasselback dressed today, I am not a big fan, but he's shown he can preform at a NFL level, obviously.

Wallace has been with the team for 3 years, and still really has no clue in this offense if he has to make his own decisions. That was painfully obvious this afternoon...he looks absoultely lost out there.
Bring Bledsoe back to his home state?

Dolphins now 4-6, with a very winnable game in Detroit on Thursday.

If they can win that, they will be sitting at 5-6 and possibly back in the playoff race for the 6th wild card position.

Congratulations to Ladanian Tomlinson on the 100th TD of his young career.

Great, great player. Maybe the best in the NFL today.

Not a chance IMO.

They, as of right now, sit in 12th spot in the coference...meaning they would have to pass ALL of KC, Jacksonville, NY Jets, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Buffalo.....and with an 2-5 conference record, they are almost sunk.

Well I put it in this perspective, it is a long shot.

But Miami plays Jacks later this year and beat KC, so they would hold the tiebreak against them.

KC also has a killer division to play in.


The Jets or Steelers are Miamis nemesis, Cincy, has one of the hardest schedules left, I don't see them going better than 8-8. Hopefully Cincy and Pitts will kill each others hopes.

The Jets don't have a hard schedule left, this is the scariest team to Miami's chances, as they will hold the division tiebreaks over Miami.

Its a long shot, the Miami game in Indy, in week 17, should be a winnable game for Miami. Indy will rest it's starters for sure as they will hopefully allready have the #1 seed rapped up.

It's a long shot for Miami but they have a chance if they can go 10-6, I think they will get in, if they go 9-7 then possibily not.

Also running the table gives them a 7-5 conference record, which is not great but not that bad.

In my one pool I figured I was toast. I was down by 32 points, and while LT had 33 last week, the Broncos weren't going to give that up this week. I now have a chance - I need 1 more TD + a few yards to tie.

I dont believe a 10-6 team will be good enough this year.

On top of all that...Miami ran for -3 yards on the day...first team since 61 to do so and still win.

Great Sunday night game once again.

San Diego is for real...Marty ball be damned.

Olshansky will be lucky to be starting next week....what a stupid thing to do.

LT...what else can you say? He has more TD's than 18 other NFL teams.

Dis, Im wondering if you are starting to wonder about Plummer and maybe not letting Cutler get his teeth cut?

This is a charger D that was missing two of their top 3 starters, and Plummer looked average at best.

Eek...Chargers just look scary.
