NFL season thread

Speaking of the Colts.....how does it feel rooting for a team whose QB looks like Bigfoot and sounds like Andre the Giant :-)

Seriously, Luck was not designed to sport a beard...shave that thing off already, lol.

You should never apologize for arguing about sports...that's what makes sports fun, and what makes us guys!

Exactly...its part of the fun, take that away, then we might as well just watch reruns of Mr Rogers, and sing cumbaya together, lol.

I know lots of people hate on the Raiders here, and that's my team...butI don't get bothered about it...its just silly football, who cares. I hate other teams as well...and why wouldn't I rub the losers a bit too? Again, as you said, that's sports rivalry, that's part of the point, actually, the entire point, lol.

Colts baby! New England has a tradition for making us look like chumps, but bring on next weekend!

Classy responses, guys!
Sorry for your disappointment, and in retrospect, sorry I argued about the call in last week's Lions/Cowboys game.
Cowboys played admirably today, Romo in particular should have silenced his critics with that 15 of 19 (16 of 19 if Dez hangs on to that last pass), no interception performance.

I appreciate you saying that and even a bigger thanks for recognizing our pain in a tough loss. All of these games are won and lost in the trenches and Dallas just didn't get the job done. Dallas left allot of points out there and what it came down to was Green Bay wanted it more. Thanks again! There's no finer moment in sports than when two people can shakes hands afterwards and just say, " Good game."

I second that sentiment!

Congrats to Green Bay. Regardless of the one call, Dallas had their chances and left allot of points on the field. Green Bay deserves to move on.

I first thought the call was correct based on the actual rule. However, the fact that the ball popped up and he caught it made me wonder. He didn't lose possession of it. However, I do believe the steps he took after possession were enough of a "football" move to make it a catch, fumble and recovery. However, having said that, I stick with what I said last week. They had other opportunities during the game. They shouldn't have had to rely on one play. There were bad calls on both sides of the ball as there will always be in every game. The better team persevered and won the game.

I think we may have seen Peyton Manning's last game. He hasn't been himself for months and he's changed his position about coming back next year as well. I think he's done as much as he can do with the injuries he has sustained on his neck. He's had an amazing career. Better to go out on his own terms than to be told.

Great season for Dallas. THe NFL is a better league when the Cowboys and Raiders are relevant, so we're halfway. I really don't have a favorite team so I watch pretty much every game ubiased. My wife is a HUGE Brady fan, but knows almost nothing about football. So yeah, my household is a bit NFL dysfunctional.

I appreciate your post, much appreciated

Yours truly, a long suffering Raiders fan.

Aaron Rodgers >>>>>>>>>>>> Tony Romo.

That's all we need to know...

Refs makeup call for last week. Howie on Fox, who HATES the Cowboys, even said that Bryant took 3 steps which shows possession...but the Ref in the Fox booth said that those 3 steps should be thrown out??!!?? ***??!!?? Refs giveth and taketh away. Cowboys still had to stop Green Bay and didn't. Stop them on a 3 and out and Dallas would have had a chance. They didn't and Green Bay won. Congrats to Green Bay.
