Board 8 > NFL Week 7: What is it with all of the horrible Monday night games this season?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah, I watched him march down the field against the Vikings. The Packers' offense is great. They can win every game with their offense.

Their defense is mediocre though.

Well yeah, but if you can score almost every drive, a good defense isn't as important. See: The Patriots this year.

Seriously, did you watch Rodgers just march right down that field? Screw Tebow, Aaron Rodgers is Football Jesus.

that can't be, aaron rodgers is heavyweight champion of the world, and we all know jesus doesn't have what it takes to be a pro wrestler

That won't always hold up in the playoffs when your defense is a liability.

I will give them credit for being able to dominate in the passing game despite having a bad rushing offense, but that's another liability that'll hurt them if Rodgers ever struggles.

True, but the Pack are as close to an elite team as we have this year, and will probably win the Super Bowl, unless someone steps it up being time (that someone will probably be the Pats or Ravens).

I think the Packers are the best team in the NFL this year.

Still don't think they're elite, however.

packers are the best team but the best team doesn't always win. single elimination, whoever gets hot at the right time wins, not the overall best team

Aw yeah, white running back from Stanford with the special teams fumble recovery.

Explain to me how Revis is not an MVP contender again? What a ridiculous game he had.

Mike Wallace is amazing.

Adrian Peterson is also amazing.

Will not change sig unless the Sens win the Stanley Cup. Started 2/19/07

A brief overview of how much I think every team in the league sucks right now:

Giants - Would be nearly winless if not for the horseshoes crammed up Eli Manning and Victor Cruzs' asses.
Redskins - Nearly leading the division in spite of a Rex Grossman/John Beck QB controversy, and that basically says everything you need to know about the division.
Cowboys - Romo's gonna roam.
Eagles - I jumped off of this bandwagon as soon as Vince Young proclaimed them a dream team and never looked back.

Packers - Genuinely elite and has no excuse for not winning a Super Bowl this year.
Lions - Remember that time they started 6-2 and then lost 25 of their next 26 games?
Bears - Kind of okay actually but Cutler still makes me laugh.
Vikings - All of the Texans' anti-clutch rubbed off on them apparently.

Saints - They're fine.
Falcons - Can't seem to decide whether or not they're good or kind of bad.
Buccaneers - Can't seem to decide whether or not they're good or kind of a trainwreck.
Panthers - Cam Newton is setting every record in the world for everything and they're still 2-5.

49ers - They're doing great and all but they're still starting Alex Smith at QB.
Seahawks - Let it sink in that this team is desperately waiting for Tarvaris Jackson to get healthy.
Cardinals - Simultaneously pretty close to 4-1 and 0-5.
Rams - SLOW CLAP IT OUT

Patriots - Probably elite but Brady did throw 4 picks against the friggin' Bills.
Bills - A cute story but raise your hand if you can actually envision them playing in the Super Bowl this year.
Jets - "Quietly okay" not usually Rex Ryan's MO.
Dolphins - Awful, and not even in a hilarious or fascinating way, just a really boring way.

Ravens - In typical Ravens fashion, their defense is their top fantasy player.
Bengals - Well, someone had to win those Browns, Broncos, Jaguars, and Colts games, and in one of those cases it wasn't even the Bengals.
Steelers - Ragtag offensive line and aging defense is apparently good enough to beat up on the Seahawks, Jaguars, and Colts.
Browns - About as exciting as watching paint dry.

Texans - Actually pretty good but they still have a little bit of Texan anti-clutch in them.
Titans - How the hell did these guys beat the Ravens again?
Jaguars - If not for an absurdly stupid Matt Hasselbeck pass they'd be winless.
Colts - Peyton Manning's neck for MVP.

Chargers - Smartly avoided an early season swoon by playing the Vikings, Chiefs, Dolphins, and Broncos.
Raiders - Just traded away a first rounder and a second rounder for Carson Palmer, thus immediately throwing away all respect I was gaining for them.
Chiefs - Normally I hesitate to call 2-game winning streaks improbable but this one was bordering on miracle.
Broncos - I refuse to acknowledge any perceived relevance that Tim Tebow seems to give them.

This all raises the question, if every team sucks, do they really all suck or are they just all simultaneously making each other look bad?

I'm just gonna declare my undying love for Aaron Rodgers right now.

I love you, Aaron Rodgers. Forever and for always.

Steelers and cardinals dbs are in a competition to see who can commit the most penalties.

Goddammit Tebow!

I'm disappointed in the way the Lions played today. Stafford looked bad, and they took way too many penalties.

Also, my fantasy team would have a great shot at winning this week if my opponent did not have DeMarco Murray. Seriously, the guy is a back-up running back and he sets the franchise record for rushing yards in a game. At least I did not have to go up against Arian Foster, but this is still ridiculous.

Revis is having a better season than any QB besides Manning (obviously showing his true value to a team more than ever).

I'd be satisfied with Revis winning the DPotY award that Woodson stole from him 2 years ago.

Obviously he has figured out that voters are stupid and need you to have a massive INT total when having zeroes across the board is a lot more impressive.

At least I can take a small amount of solace in knowing that the Titans won't wind up being on the receiving end of the worst blowout this week.

For a while, I found it kind of hard to watch, because it was starting to get sad, but that pick 6 just drove it right into hilarious.

I want to see them go for the record.

nor did the 2000 rams

The Saints scored more than 10 times as many points as the Browns did today. Both teams won.

so i know that the best defense is a good offense, and having peyton on the field would help them with field position and give their defense a break, but 62 points in 3 quarters is 62 points in 3 quarters

what are the chances that peyton saw this season coming and strategically planned his surgery to

A - avoid getting killed
and
B - take credit for the team being horrendous in his absence

"30"

so, weird stuff

the saints are the first team to score 60 in a game since the jaguars beat the dolphins 62-7 in the 2000 playoffs

they are the first team to do so in the regular season since the 1989 bengals beat the oilers................61-7

Oh also, somewhat amusing story:

Woke up today, decided to start Marshawn Lynch at RB over Delone Carter (Blount hurt, no other good backups, very thin at RB). Then hear that Lynch tweaked something and is out. The lineups get locked probably a couple minutes before I make it back to the website to put Carter in instead. I was annoyed, and hoped that it wouldn't cost me the week. Oh, my other starting RB? Arian Foster. Who got me 52 points. Also had Roethlisberger and Mike Wallace. And Marques Colston as my flex. So my whole team stepped up because I was a moron. Woo!
