    I'm starting to enjoy these packers fans' posts.

    Well get ready for another 16-20 weeks of it, followed by the cherry on top in February when a dozen or so posts appear with "FFS, how does Capers keep his job again!?"

    Disappointing and pretty light holding call there, but Rodgers and Jones are looking f***ing electric so far!

    So much to like about that Bears drive, Cutler's line actually protecting him, and Forte is in some shape physically

    Yeah I don't think we win today because Rodgers will get it done, but this has been much better than anyone could have expected offensively.

    If anyone ever asks "why doesn't Rodgers have more than one ring?" ever again, I'm just going to make them watch this quarter of football. :mad: :o

    I thought Cruz was going to be good to go tonight, what sort of time do they think he'll need to go?

    No time frame unfortunately. He's dealing with a calf injury now. Not sure how related that is to the knee, if at all though

    Much better drive from Indy. Mixing running and passing well finally.

    Penalties are killing your offense, stupid stuff too. But we're better than anyone, especially packers fans, were giving credit for.

    Cecil and the bird in the stadium would seem to be one of Sky's more useless contributions to live sports coverage

    Vinateri misses a FG attempt. Not going to be our day methinks.

    Your defense is going quite well but we should still easily be on 14 at least, and you literally do not need to pass to get TDs.

    Fox does make a good, scrappy team though. One of those guys that won't 'put you over the top' with an extremely talented team, but who knows how to get the most out of undertalented teams, or ones in transition. He was great at it in Carolina.

    You should have seen her on Thursday, it was so bad that I wonder if she has ever actually presented before, or if she just happens to know someone who knows someone.

    I can't watch the game, but the vaunted Miami run defense looks like it's getting trampled on by Washington. 97 rushing yards compared to 2, 17 minutes of possession compared to 5 for Miami. Still only 3-0 though.

    **ok, must not follow games on NFL.com woefully behind with updates 10 - 7 Washington now.

    This is phenomenally bad from the Colts. We bring the blitz yet Williams is still able to burst through for a TD.

    Even Cutler's making people miss and breaking tackles. It's comedy out there.

    Taylor putting in an impressive half for his first ever NFL start.The Bills defense has the Luck & Co stumped. The Colts need to get on the scoreboard next.

    Biblical scholars have postulated that Jay Cutler outrunning & out-cutting the defence as a harbinger of the apocalypse.

    This coaching team is so spineless. Two timeouts and the Bills get the ball at the start of the second but we take a knee.

    Having Brandon Marshall on this team makes Decker such a bigger weapon

    I'm long past that now, I'm actually just resigned to the fact he has cost, and in future is going to cost one of the greatest QBs ever the chance to win more rings.

    Jets go into the half with a 14-10 lead at the half, but Bowles has to make some adjustments! fairly poor that first half
