NFL Week 7

[bcl412]

I think the Saints can let off the gas.

 

I'm enjoying the fantasy points Brees (and Sproles) are getting me.

[OleMissCub]

Brees 31/35, 325 yds, 5 TD

 

Saints offense is just stupid. Their rushing attack is bad to the bone as well with Sproles, Thomas, and Ingram.

[Careless]

The Colts are really good at this "sucking" thing.

[SpongeWorthy]

The Packers are going 19-0 you dumb tools.

 

I know you're being facetious, but I want to talk about it anyway.

 

The Packers will likely run the table against the AFC West with San Diego (away) being the most difficult matchup. Raiders (home) and Chiefs (away) look like push-overs.

 

The other 6 games are Minnesota (home), TB (home), Detroit (away), New York Giants (away), Chicago (home), Detroit (home).

 

Tampa Bay may or may not be a pushover. It depends on what team shows up. I think the Thanksgiving game will be a battle, but the Lions are definitely starting to look more vulnerable so I think GB wins. I really like that the Packers have four extra days to prepare for the Giants game (Giants are in NO on Monday night and Packers will be coming off the Thanksgiving game). I think the greatest chance to lose a regular season game will be either one of the last two games because if they are undefeated they will have already locked up homefield advantage and the games will probably be very important for both the Bears and Lions.

 

Green Bay's defense has had issues all year. If they don't solve some, I could see them losing some games although the schedule is favorable. I'm not about to consider an undefeated record as that is incredibly hard to do. Especially if, even if they do make it to the last couple of weeks undefeated, they'll likely have nothing to play for against teams who will be fighting for the playoffs.

 

Completely disagree that an undefeated NFL team has nothing to play for if they've got everything locked up. Going undefeated is a BFD and the Pats coming so close just a few years ago has only upped the ante.

[Careless]

Hey, I've had that limp before!

[Careless]

70 looks pretty doable.

The Colts don't agree.

 

I think it depends on the coach really. McCarthy does seem like someone who would try to go undefeated though I think.

[JimSorgi]

Yup, the Colts are dead. Time to go winless and fire Caldwell.

[sneakypower]

it's Dan Orlvosky time!

[Andy]

Aaron Schatz reports that 1966 was the last time an NFL team exceeded 62 points in a game. So there's something to shoot for.

[Cubswin11]

The Colts are really upping the ante in the Andrew Luck Sweepstakes with this performance tonight.

[imb]

Is Jimmy Graham on pace for the best tight end season in nfl history?

[illiniguy]

The Saints are pretty classless, way to bring the heat on that last punt. You're only up 50 plus.

[CubInOK]

No one cares about fantasy, but imagine going up against Brees, Graham, Colston, and Kasay tonight. That's not me, but it is happening in my league.

[Cubswin11]

Is Jimmy Graham on pace for the best tight end season in nfl history?

I saw this and looked up Gates' stats from past seasons. His 05 season was really good, 89 rec, 1101 yds, 10 tds. And I also didn't realize how ridiculous his season was last year, he only played 10 games but had 50 rec, 782 yds, 10 tds and 15.7 ypc his numbers last season would have been unreal if he played a full 16 games.

[Careless]

I like how all these Luck montages show him throwing to wide, wide open receivers without any pressure on him. Very impressive.

[illiniguy]

I'm up against Saints D, Sproles, Colston. Luckily I have a Saint going, Devery Henderson, doh.

And he's on pace to beat all those numbers. Just ridiculous.

Not that it matters, the NFL is on juice right now. Like baseball homer numbers in the late 90s-early 00s. Just too much offense.

[Careless]

Are we seriously still asking whether Manning is better and/or more important than Brady?

[Andy]

He is more important but its not an apples to apples comparison. The Colts' offensive system made Manning more important than the Pats' does Brady.

Jim Tressel's fault

Well, yes, but because the Pats coach/es were much, much better than the rest of the league and could make up for it elsewhere. The

Colts had no option but to let Manning do his thing because he was their competitive advantage.

[ELCABALLO45]

This is the same Saints team who lost to Tampa.

 

JK, They are definitely the biggest threat standing in front of Green Bay as of right now. Not that I am afraid to go to New Orleans but it's a good thing they beat them head to head so they basically have a 2 game lead on them right now in case Green Bay and New Orleans happen to meet in January.

3 games lead with the tie breaker.

 

Do we ever consider the 49ers a legit threat to win the NFC? I haven't seen them play once.
