Dolphins are moving up! Hopefully we can show that we can beat mediocre teams too in the game against the Seahawks this week...Honestly, they've already surpassed my expectations. .500 at the mid-season mark? I couldn't be happier. At the end of the preseason I thought 8-8 was the VERY best we would do this year. I think that if we continue our play like we have in the past two games...wildcard? I'm not gonna get my hopes up at all, but it's not looking impossible. Although, it still is looking unlikely.

I hope the Bills beat the Patriots this week cuz if they don't then that's the end of their season.

A good game next week;

The Bears versus the Titans..

Wonder how that one will turn out? No more Kyle Orton.. now it's up to Rex Grossman for a few weeks...

I pray for a win..

[Illmatic]

i think the bears have a decent chance to win, if they stop the run, the titans will be forced to have collins win the game for them which i dont think he can do.

if grossman plays, he must be careful not to force throws and try to make plays that aren't there, he's a bit of a gunslinger meaning hes a little turnover prone, and it doesn't help that the titans have an excellent turnover ratio. so it's important that chicago must get their ground game going and limit mistakes.

[Mik3]

Taking care of the ball? Do you know who Rex Grossman is? He experiences "throwgasm". Basically its a style far more aggresive than gunslinger. He will feel the need to throw long balls even with players in double coverages or if their not even down field. He thinks he has to win games on his arm and tries to making momentum shifting big plays. And he does that to THE OTHER TEAM. Favre and Romo can get away with it because they actually have weapons like T.O. Coles, Witten, Cotchery respectively. The Bears aren't fit to pass all day. If their smart they'll hand the ball off and let the defense take care of it. But if The titans go up 14-0 earely Rexy is going to say "F it im throwing deep" and thats when the mayhem begins.

Dolphins were able to hold on and win 21-19...Although I don't like how we played the second half. A win's a win though...and we're now over .500.

im glad for the phins, Parcells has turned this team around, not that im surprised, the dolphins were smart to get him involved, now this team has a winning record, and is in good position to possibly win the AFC East, the Jets and Pats play eachother on thursday so Miami will make up some ground regardless of the winner, not to mention they play the awful Raiders at home.

Anybody but the Pats, I wanna see a new division champion, and the other 3 teams arent the doormats they were a year ago, The pats wont get a easy pass to the division title this year

7-22 with 3 INT.s and a QB rating of 15. That's Delhomme early in the 3rd and yet Carolina is winning 14-3.

EDIT: Make the 4 INT's. Are they trying to give the game away?

[Tahaji]

Sheesh My Panthers are looking horrible... 4 INT *shakes head* This win will be shameful

[FullmetalNinja25]

My Bills lost to the Patriots....

[Tahaji]

That sucks man, I hate the Patriots

[Nate River]

Sheesh My Panthers are looking horrible... 4 INT *shakes head* This win will be shameful

Indeed, that was an ugly, ugly win. They did not deserve to win that game, but hey, a win is a win. Every team has a stinker like that in them, it's just lucky that ours came against the Raiders. 4INT's and they still win. Delhomme and the passing game was so bad and they win. Thank you, DeAngelo Williams and the Carolina defense.

Nice to see another Panthers fan around. I though I was the only one.

[Tahaji]

No Kidding. Im going to Charlotte soon and Im giving my boys a talking too.

I havent seen Delhomme look that bad in a long time. I was hoping this would be a knockout, blown out of the park easy game. Whatever Offence...Whatever...

Herm Edwards, I have no idea why you went for 2, you had the momentum, go to OT and win there

looks like the Colts are back on track, they beat another good team and play Houston next week, so it's lookin good for indy, though they probably won't catch the Titans

[Jwolf0]

Conventional Wisdom say that you go for the win on the road and the tie at home. I actually have no problem with KC going for two there. Like you said, KC had momentum and one of the best TEs in the game. Why not?

So my Seahawks drop another one. Ho-hum. Just so you know how bad things are the only times I'm only following the sports pages nowadays to see who the Mariners' (caution: may contain baseball-like substance) new manager will be, and for Fantasy Football purposes.

Not so Fun Fact: The Seahawks are on pace to finish 4-12. This will give them 3 more wins than both Division I FBS state schools (Washington, Washington State) - and that's only because they have to play each other at the end of the season.

Just shoot me now.

[Lid]

Yay, Vikings won. Wasn't really expecting that to happen.

[FullmetalNinja25]

Here's to another Bills season down the freaking drain....

10. Indianapolis Colts Next Game: @ Houston Texans

The Jets and Pats play a crucial game on Thursday night, The Jets just signed former Pats CB Ty Law so it should be quite a good game.

Another Loss, 0-3 against the division, well now we have to gun for the wildcard, which wont be easy, I don't think the birds can afford to lose more than 2 games, and they MUST beat Dallas at home, and take care of the weaker teams theyre gonna play. Andy Reid may be on his way out, how can you call two straight runs that everyone and their mama knew was coming? Why take the ball out of Mcnabbs Hands when he's heating up and just led you down the field for a TD on the previous drive? You KNOW the Giants are gonna focus on Westbrook, and the points the eagles scored where made through the passing game, and it doesnt help when you get gashed for 200+ Yards on the ground, if we miss the playoffs for the 3rd time in 4 Years, then Reid may finished for good.

[Mik3]
