matthew8

Explain your Indy pick. I'm baffled.

mikemac

I love the Washington defense

I see a Redskins win and Vick knocked out of the game

Itssoeasy

As an Eagles fan i'm going to sum up my feelings about the game at the 'skins with "just win baby."

In fairness its the Bengals. Against anyone else and I'd probably question it too!

mikemac

Bengals are good, they aren't the Bungles this year

Racking up the scores in recent weeks, Dalton is gaining confidence and Mike Zimmer's defense are consistently good
Bengals are not a very good team but they're no laughing stock either

I see them beating the Colts also

Ah no I'd be in the same boat and I think Dalton is a decent QB too - I named him as my suprise rookie of the year in the early predictions thread. It's just the whole history that hangs over them of being nailed on winners and then managing - somehow - to make a balls of it.

But they do seem to be a different team this year (bar the first game when Dalton threw a heap of INT's IIRC).

Sorry should have explained/justified but it was late.

I firmly believe that there is no way that the colts will go 0-16 this season. Therefore if I just keep picking the colts over whoever there are playing in a given week. The law of averages state then one week they will pull a win out of the bag and to everybody who had them written off, I will look like a football genius mastermind

Just wondering if any of you could help me please. I don't have Gamepass, but is there any chance of getting a stream for the Ravens game anywhere? It's on CBS apparently.

mikemac

Looking forward for a Ravens win

You'll get a stream here

And a chump the other 15 weeks! But in all seriousness that's hardly a good way to judge games. Adding to that, traveling to a Cincy team with a young, growing offense and a good defense doesn't bode well for the Colts.

Fingers crossed anyway

Brilliant, thanks for that!

Really hope the eagles can pull a win out against the redskins tonight. It's been a horrible season so far and we really need to pull a win out and then regroup and come out strong after the bye week... 1-5 is season over unless we have a miracoulous turnaround. 2-4 won't be great either but there'll still be some form of hope..

mikemac

There's a new podcast called the Coaches Show
Brian Billick and Jim Mora Jr

http://www.nfl.com/podcast/thecoaches-podcast/1318286309000/detail

They do a lot about the Eagles defense and break everything down, great listen and Billick is superb as always

Seems Mora was approached to be DC before they promoted their offensive line coach. So he has quite a bit of info, just throwing it out there

Paully D

First time watching Cam Newton today. Looking forward to it.

Stev_o

Cam is looking good. Funny the way some teams are ahead of others in offensive thinking. Carolina clearly looked at NE and said right two very good catching TE's are the way to basis your offence.

Big Daddy Cool

great start eagles, keep it up

Paully D

5 penalty flags out of the last 6 plays in the Panthers V Falcons game. Matt Ryan looking good calling all his own plays on the no huddle offence.

Stev_o

Panthers O-Line is one of the best in the League from what we'v seen so far. Newton has all sort of time in the pocket and he's doing a great job reading what's on and throwing the ball very well downfield.

UnitedIrishman

Already regretting leaving Big Ben on the bench in fantasy football this week.

Some pile-up on half yard line in the Eagles game.

mikemac

I'm against UnitedIrishmen in Division Two this week

Is that not you? I just assumed it was

SSK

Rodgers just makes it look sooooo easy. Great play by Nelson to take it all the way.

It is yeah, but it's the LTTP league I have him. No wonder I'm 0-3!

Rodgers throwing some cracking passes again. Rams finding the going tough.

marty2002

Eagles playing like they should be...

ReacherCreature

I'm impressed by Newton. His footwork and composure are veteran-like.

Big Daddy Cool

where has this eagles team been all season

GoldFour4

what the hell was AJ Hawk thinking about with that gesture ???

SSK

Andy Dalton looks really good, the Bengals have a good young team there.

I don't care let's hope they decide to stay somewhere near philladephia for a while.

i'm probably been to harsh but maybe reid should leave avant off offence more often

Big Daddy Cool

i'm glad i brought cam newton on to my nfluk fantasy team this week

well maybe not.

Peyton Manning

Cam doing the Deion Sanders dance might just be my favourite moment of the season so far

GoldFour4

Mike Vick looks concussed

mikemac

John Beck time?

tallaghtoutlaws

Rex Chokeman up to his old tricks. Forcing a ball down field and getting picked and what an idiot their defense picks off Young and on the next play give back to the Eagles.

Vick back on the field.

UnitedIrishman

Dallas Clark with a Randy Moss-esque one handed catch for a TD.

Same, I have him. 10 points on the ground. But NFLUK
is gone crap. Lots of players are $3 million, makes it very difficult.

SSK

Dallas Clark is alive :eek: One hell of a catch

spiralism

Fitzmagic pulls the bills level, 24-24

UnitedIrishman

Alex Smith is 13/25 for 101yards, 0 TD's and 1 INT.

And the 49ers are still winning.

not any more, stafford to burleson, 19-14 after the 2pt try fails

Green Bay the first winners today, their game's finished, 24-3 against St.Louis

Le King

1:32 for the Canadians to beat us or draw.

Le King

Incomplete. We win!

ReacherCreature

Streams for the Patriots/Cowboys game? Have the usual suspects in mind but if you've got a good one, can you send it on?

Big Daddy Cool

eagles win !!! eagles win!!!

Bout time! I was travelling today so only got a few updates until now but...another terrible second half from us!

Any big stories from the opening slate of games? Just after getting into the hotel in time to see the end of Niners and Lions

ReacherCreature

Romo with the interception...:pac:

Paully D

TD Ravens

The drive started on our own 3 yard line. Very impressive!

The Showstopper

The giants bills game looked like a cracker, there seems to be late drama with the giants every week

marty2002

Go Eagles! much needed win....
