The Packers with a fit Rodgers are going to destroy... I don't like the Packers at all, but I think they will be hard to stop this year. Go hawks tho.
Agreed, I actually have Rodgers as the MVP for this season, they should go far since they now have a good running game lead by Lacy, my only concern for them is their defensive line has taken a hit during the offseason, so I do expect them to struggle a bit on the defensive side of the ball.

I see the NFC North finishing like this

Packers
Bears
Lions
Vikings

O yeah. Just a few more hours. Took the first half of the day off tomorrow and will be going to bed soon. Are you ready for some football?

Packers have been struggling on both sides of the ball so far, Rogers at half time only had 86yards passing. Wilson hasnt looked so good himself nearly getting intercepted 3 times in the first qrt.

At least Lynch is still a beast. And helping with the fantasy points. I wonder what's up with Lacy. Looks like stark is getting most of the touches.

Yes Lynch is looking like his normal self, I think McCarthy is just using the hot hand at rb, the run game is gonna struggle a bit now that they lost their right tackle for the rest of the night (and possibly longer)

Lacy out with a concussion probably from when he trucked Cam,Packers are in big trouble if this is how their oline held up during the season.

'Hawks simply overpowered them by the looks of things. Running game tore into the Packers. Even Harvin, the receiver, got in a few big runs.

I was kinda disappointed in last nights game, was expecting more of a tighter game,The Hawks did look good at running the football, not taking anything away from then but for the most part I think their win can slightly be attributed to the Packers just strugglinig in both phases of the ball, That packers oline is gonna get Rogers injured (again).

Now bring on Sunday :D

So the Ravens have cut Ray Rice after the rest of the video surfaced of him knocking out his then Fiance in a elevator at a Casino, My guess they roll with Justin Forsett at runningback for the steelers game on Thursdays Game

Rice is an absolute idiot. Not only has he been cut, the NFL has suspended him indefinitely and even the CFL (last chance saloon for pro-footballers) has said it won't welcome him.

The Raiders look like the same old schit I've been watching for nearly 10-years now. Horrible, horrible play calling. Made Geno Smith look good.

Had to chime in :D
Huge Ravens fan here,started off liking the NFL when I would bet it for fun and it grew into a love for the game.
Luckily have SKY at work and often work sunday evenings :)
Otherwise Wiziwig streaming when at home.

Week 4 looks a big Meh, reckon the Ravens smash the Panthers after a 10 day break.
Other interest is how the colts and the saints fare.

Awesome another die hard Raven fan.In the beginning of the season I would have said that the Ravens could easily handle the Panthers but given whats happened over the past few weeks (with Rice been cut, Pitta now out for the season again and possibly end of his career and now most recently the loss of their LT Eugene Monroe for several weeks I now expect this game to be more difficult than it seems. For me the biggest issue is how does their backup tackle (UDFA James Hurst) handle his 1st NFL start vs one of the best defensive lines in the league,if he does well then Flacco should be decent, if not then Joe is going to be running around in the back trying to escape Luke Kuechly.

Also who replaces TE Dennis Pitta?the common answer seems to be Owen Daniels knows Kubiaks system like the back of his hand but at his age he is too old and cannot get any separation, my guess they mix it up with rookie TE Crockett Gilmore and HB Kyle Juszczyk who was really impressive vs the Browns last Sunday.


As for Colts and Saints I think both teams are slowly finding their grove again, Saints should win pretty comfortably at Dallas ( who have a lot of injuries on their defense) on Sunday night, and Colts should win vs the Titans who are most likely starting their backup QB since it seems they are going to bench Jake Locker.

My word the Raiders are horrific. Dennis Allen will be the first coach to be fire this season and rumours are he won't make it past Tuesday. His press conference following the loss to the Dolphins in London was a joke. They were down 38-7 heading into the 4th quarter and he says ''Uh, I thought our guys competed''. No, you did not compete. You were blown apart in every facet.

The 2014 team could be worse than the 2006 team, which was the worst team in the history of the franchise.

It was really embarrassing, my cousins who went to the game yesterday at Wembley felt like leaving at half time, Lil Davis really looks like an imbecile though. I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to work for him. Its gonna be a looooong rebuild there to clear off this roster and try to add talent.

As much as I loved watching the Ravens win on Sunday it probably felt even better watching the Patriots get destroyed by the Chiefs on Monday night, Tom Brady just cannot throw the deep ball anymore.

**** the Patriots. Had their defense. Needed 8 points for the win. ****ing minus 2. I hate them so much. So even though I loved seeing them get destroyed, I am some ****ing pissed off about it.
