This may be the worst play in NFL history.

1. Five games decided in the final seconds. What a week for the NFL!

2. The Rams finally win a game! This in the first game led by new coach Jim Haslett. Sometimes, change is good.

3. AFC, watch out. Peyton Manning's got his groove back!

4. The Pats loss wasn't because they were without Brady. Their defense looked inept and completely over-matched.

5. Is there a more underrated WR in the league than Andre Johnson of the Texans? This guy is a walking, breathing Statistic.

6. Baltimore went on record of naming rookie Joey Flacco their starter for the remainder of the season. After throwing 3 INTS and fumbling twice, I think that was a bit premature.

7. Even in a win, Minnesotta looks very ordinary this year. I was expecting more from this team this year.

8. The Falcons are starting to gain credibility again. After signing a new coach and drafting a starting QB, it appears they can finally turn the page from the Vick debacle.

9. Two more losses in the AFC North by the Bungles and the Rats. If the Browns win tonight, suddenly we're in 2nd place and only two games out of first.

10. The Browns get Donte Stallworth back for tonight's game, in exchange for another big piece we will be without in Kellen Winslow. Don't think for a second, the Browns forgot about the drubbing the Giants put on us in preseason. I expect the Browns to make a game out of tonight. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?

Don't forget the BIGGEST move they made, getting the little guy from SD.
With Micheal (The Burner) Turner, from Northern Illinois, and the MAC, they now have a running game to take a lot of pressure off the young Matt Ryan.

You are right about Minnesota looking very ordinary this year.
So far, so have the Browns ....
I understand they have had a lot of injuries, but so have a lot of other teams.

The Steeler's are getting along somewhat OK at least still winning with all the injuries they have.

Q. Was last year an abboration for the Brown's or is this year ?

I think tonight's game will go a long way in answering that question.

Interesting news.

John Madden won't be calling the Seattle/Tampa Bay game.

You know Seahawks/Bucs is not a big game when Madden, for the first time in decades, isn't calling a required game.

I now know what NOT to do on Sunday. Instead, I'll watch the extra-long edition of 'College Football Live.'

+1. I completely agree. This will be the tell tale game of the year.

I don't blame him. The 72-year-old doesn't fly and only travels by bus. That would be a lot of traveling on that tired old body.

Not to mention, this game should be a stinker as Hasselbeck is going to be out again and ex-Brown, Charlie Frye will start in his place.

 

[SabresRule]

ex-Brown Charlie Frye will start in his place.

Do you miss him or would you have been the first to pack his bags?

 

[HD MM]

Do you miss him or would you have been the first to pack his bags?

Even though he's a local kid (born and raised in Akron, Ohio), he wasn't the right QB to lead this team. He sure had a lot of heart and moxy though.

BTW HD,
I picked the Brownies. Just a hunch I have. :up

Yesterday's Rams/Redskins game and last year's Pats/Ravens game have me thinkng the samr thing as well.i

I freely admit, both those games I thought the Pats and Redskins would blow out the Ravens and Rams respectively.

 

[Ramy]

This was the hat trick from hell for ramy:

Bengals, Redskins, AND UK Football lose.

You're telling me.

 

[Jimbo]

Is tonight a Brady Quinn Night ?

[HD MM]

Well, I certainly hope all of this Satellite Guys Sports Forum optimism works in favor of my Brownies tonight! We will need all the help we can get.

T-minus 3 minutes till kickoff! Let's get it on!!!!!

Steve Young was the only guy on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown to pick the Browns.

Did Korn-Hole really just suggest that Eli is better than Peyton?!

 

[SabresRule]

I'll make this short and sweet:

This will be like last year's Lions/Eagles game- unbeaten team gets thumped on the road (they'll lose by at least 20 points).

If you look up the word hyperbole in the dictionary, there's a picture of Korn-Hole right next to it!

I always thought there'd be a picture of Don King next to that word.
