Whatever Griese did (didn't see the game) it can't be worse than the Redskins performance.

Hmm... It might not be a total shut out.

Only a 45 point lead now.

At least I won't have to see 500 Redskins jerseys at school tommorrow.. I can't wait for the Colts and Patriots.

That's going to be a great game.

They did. And I have to say, the Patriots are just unreal. I've never seen a football team like it. (Although, I didn't appreciate them running up the score at the end of the game.)

W00t! Iowa State finally won their second game. Victim was Kansas State.

Navy finally beat Notre Dame, good thing it is probably the last time in my life time that it is going to happen. I'm not really a Navy fan but 43 year losing streak finally ending is a good thing for a service academy to put behind them. Now they need to get ND off their schedule or they may break their own record.

Adrian Peterson is just unbelievable!

Too bad he was on the OTHER fantasy team this week.

Whew. That Colorado game was quite dramatic. But we won, so that's all that matters.
The Details if anyone wants something to read.

And the Bears won too. So at least we're not as bad as the Raiders.

Also, my high school has advanced to the semi-finals as the 16-seed. Bang.

Cowboys and Redskins this week, which I can't wait for. The Redskins kinda scare me, but our offense has looked nearly unstoppable.

The Redskins shouldn't scare you. If they couldn't punch it in the endzone with 7 tries inside the 5 yard line, at home, to the lowly Eagles, when a touchdown would have won them the game, then they shouldn't scare anybody. If the Redskins have shown anything this season, it's that they can't protect a lead to save their lives.

Not that I'm bitter about the loss to the Eagles (yet another second half collapse) or anything...

Patriots look unstoppable this year. I've been a fan since they drafted Bledsoe(and I'm still hurting over them lettin' McGinest go...) but wow...I hope they blow out everyone on the way to the SuperBowl then kill the pathetic NFC team lucky enough to make it there.

I do have to give Dallas and GB props though...now THAT will be a game to watch. I hope they meet in the NFC championship(certainly lookin' that way). As for the Pats, man...I'm not sure who they're gonna see in the AFC championship...the Dolts look like they're goin' downhill in a hurry. Dare I say they meet...Pittsburgh in the AFC title game?

The Redskins will not be able to stop the Cowboy offense. The question is whether they can hold it down enough for the offense to match it. I don't know much about this year's Redskin team, but the surest way to score on the Cowboys is to throw to whoever Roy Williams is supposed to be covering. He is never in position and he bites on every fake. Did you see how Shockey ate him up last week?

I'm not yet a believer in the Packers. I gotta see them beat someone better than the Bears.

The cheater Pats could fall to the Steelers or maybe the Colts in the rematch. I seriously doubt they run the table.

dallasmavs41 · Unread postby **dallasmavs41** » 15 Nov 2007, 11:28

I don't know about Green Bay either. They've beaten both the Giants and Chargers, but that was earlier in the season when both teams were struggling. The only test on their remaining schedule is Dallas, so the Packers could easily go 14-2 or 13-3 if they don't fade down the stretch. But I'd sure be scared about going against Brett Favre at Lambeau in the playoffs, especially with the year he's been having.

Does anybody want to go to the national title game? It looks like #2 Oregon is going to go down. Dennis Dixon left the game in the first quarter and won't return, and Arizona's leading 31-14 at the half.

Final Score:
Oregon 24, Arizona 34

jeff · Unread postby **jeff** » 17 Nov 2007, 13:52

Well as Vlad said #2 went down and with their QB out for the season Oregon is not irrelevant. So who else goes down this weekend, Ohio State looks like a good canidate to be upset.

Vlad976 · Unread postby **Vlad976** » 17 Nov 2007, 18:40

I'm hoping Kansas gets caught looking ahead. If nothing else my Cyclones would then end their season with a three game win streak. Not to mention it would be their first win over a top 5 team, i think, ever.

Omega_Destroyer · Unread postby **Omega_Destroyer** » 17 Nov 2007, 19:54

I highly doubt Ohio State has anything to worry about.

Well now that they've won 14 - 3, probably not.

Sorry Vlad, but it doesn't look good for Iowa State either.
