Granted I don't know much about football, but it does seem like Seahawks are a different team than last year. I guess there is something in saying that it is easier to win than to defend, no matter what sport it is.;)

It is still a long way to go in this game, Seattle might as easily come back and win this one.

I forgot to change my pick in London game, even though I was warned a couple of days ago.:cover

Congrats AP, your team battled and won today!!!:clap

Thank you Miss Billie , it really was a huge struggle!:clap

That was a narrow, perhaps a little bit lucky, win for Chiefs, thanks to Charles and Smith. What would they do without Charles?:exclamation:

Come on Giants, I needed you last week, not this week.:snigger

Lose...a lot!!

Didn't they use to lose a lot even with Charles?

KC hasn't been the same since Derrick Thomas was killed back in '99! They've had good teams with great offenses, but the defenses still haven't recovered! Back in the 90's, I followed both Buffalo and KC; great times with Jim Kelly, Johnson, & Flutie v Montana, Bono, Grbac, & Green!

Thank you Fiero, when I find some time, I might look and read up on their history. I just started following them when Alex Smith came over. This is actually the first season with the most games that I watched (or at least part of the games), before I would just start following during the playoffs and Superbowl. Nobody plays this football in Europe where I grew up, but I really like the game.:D Years ago I picked up a book from our library to learn the rules.;)

Many of the players need to do the same thing! It's unbelievable quite a few don't have a clue concerning the rules! I've seen 3 QB's throw the ball forward twice on the same play after the initial pass was blocked back at them! :nono :puzzled :dodgy:

Actually Fiero, Derrick Thomas wasnt actually killed. He suffered a severe spinal cord as the result of an automobile accident(he was totally paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair) but he later died from complications on the automobile injury.. very unfortunate..

I left the game when GB was up only 2 touchdowns, I watched Rodgers' girlfriend in a season opener and came back and couldn't believe the result. I didn't think it was possible to score 42 points in 1 half.:snigger

It really Is.. I have told you before.. I Know this guy(Rodgers) is playing the game in the role of QB in a different time dimension than Everyone else including Brady and Manning, IMO.

GB outdid themselves tonight! Leading the Bears by 41 late in the 4th quarter, Cutler barely completed a 3 yard pass on 1st down and these GB tools challenged since it was off the shoe tops! A-Holes! Of course they were wrong and I hope they make national news for the next few days for being that petty! Rodgers was a favorite of mines even though I live in Chicago, but they can all GO TO HELL after that! :nono :dodgy: :s :puzzled

Can't blame anyone but McCarthy for that as he is the one who decides to challenge. It definitely was stupid and kind of classless to say the least.

When he is in that kind of rhythm it is scary. The thing he has always had over both of those guys is mobility. The Packer's O line was surprisingly very good yesterday but even when the pocket collapsed Rodgers got outside and still killed the Bears. If the Bears offense had done anything yesterday we probably would've seen the record of 8+ TD's.

Jay Cutler isnt going anywhere soon.. they have atleast a few more years invested..too bad because on paper, they have the most imposing set of wideouts in the game. The first interception that Jay threw was just plain lazy and stupid. that was something a very bad high school QB to try. I think the Bears have got to let go of their GM Phil Emery.. He has the Wrong coach and wrong QB.. the Bears Never played this bad for Lovie..

The Bears looked like they gave up last night by the end of the 1st half. I'd say that bodes poorly for Tressman staying as coach. They are done for the season but hopefully they help GB out and beat Detroit.

This time I think the Bears will hire a defensive coach like Todd Bowles. Detriot has a good defense and Suh is in his contract year.. its will be interesting to see how Detriot and the Pack finish the year.

I don't know that the Bears loss, lopsided as it may be, at Packers was such a surprise, even I know that Jay Cutler has nightmares playing there.

OK, I admit I watched a show where they previewed the Sunday's NFL action and that is what they were saying.:D
