    Saints defence is absolutely killing me here.

    JJ Watt with another fumble recovery.

    Funniest commentators curse I've ever heard during the Browns-Texans game.
    "Browns haven't turned the ball over in the last 99 redzone drives. In fact the Browns don't really turn the ball over at all."
    Instant fumble and recovery by Watt.

    "Pound for pound" (in terms of positional importance, if you know what I mean) JJ watt has to be the best. Two roughing the punter penalties today though.
    He isn't the difference between winning and losing games though as Houston's win/loss record attests to.
    The players I mention are the difference therefore all around they are better.

    Cams recent poor performances have put me in the sad position where I actively look for the defense of Carolinas opponent when picking my fantasy team :(

    Peyton Manning rules continue to be in full effect. Rams HAMMER Sanders trying to catch the ball, get called on a defenseless receiver. Absolute joke, but explains why Broncos players always look at the refs incredulously when they don't get either the ball or a flag.

    One nasty hit on sanders just then.

    If you replace Andrew luck with JJ Watt, the Texans are better off.

    That's a disgusting hit. Completely defenceless, Sanders looks in a poor enough state.

    The hit was well before the ball arrived so the flag was justified IMO.

    I see the Peyton officials are at it again with a ridic unnecessary roughness call.

    It was at pretty much the exact same time Sanders dived for the ball, if I recall as it hit his fingers?

    Are you ****ing having a laugh man, he got absolutely taken out of it when totally defenceless and has left with a concussion.

    I stand corrected the ball was on sanders fingers. The hit was exactly what the league are looking for so bad call indeed.

    Why oh why do I always forget the Golden rule of NFL bets - never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, under any circumstances, EVER, touch anything to do with a Bengals game. Ever.

    Half the team injured and we'll probably lose. Yeah this team isn't going anywhere

    I do find it funny that Pats fans calling officials out for "Peyton Manning Rules", they 100% do protect peyton and his teams but they've been doing the same things with Brady and the Pats for years.

    Remember when people were taking about Eli Manning being "elite" and surefire Hall of famer?

    I remember laughing at them but in fairness the dude has 2 rings. He's hardly had anything less than a stellar career.

    Booos in Charlotte from the fans as an incomplete pass means another 3 & out

    Those people made me laugh then, and hell if they pipe up again they will make me laugh now :)

    Love watching them struggle

    Eli can be very, very good but he is far too wreckless with the ball

    Still bitter about 18-1...

    I suppose Patriots fans have to have something to cheer for these days.

    You'd have to say the eventual super bowl winner will likely come out of the NFC South this year :P

    He's had a grand career sure and he played well in those playoff runs, but I've always felt their defence was the real difference maker in them. Still a pro bowl QB when in form of course, but not much more.

    Just saw the Manning intercept. Awful throw.

    Bitter is a bit light, hate filled would be a better expression, and not just the 18-1 year.

    Patriots fans have some things to cheer for these days, having the greatest qb of all time playing for them, having the best tight end in the business looking healthy, the D looking better, oh and bitch slapping the Broncos around the field and taking the number 1 seed in the AFC

    Seems like a few things to cheer about, maybe you should have thought about the last part of your post more and came up with a better line?
