I actually have to pay to watch the 49ers. 49er games never come on TV over here, even on the American channels that I have. So I watch it though NFL.com - Official Site of the National Football League. A bit expensive if you ask me, but as a die hard fan I have to watch my 49ers!

Not sure what to expect from the Viking-Packers game. I have learned to never bet agains't either team as it's always a guess who's going to win this match-up.
Jared Allen is up against the same guy this weekend as in the earlier meeting this year and he completely dominated him. Hopefully he can pressure Aaron Rogers all afternoon like the last game.
Minnesota's pass defense will determine the outcome of this game. Several dumb penalties last week cost the Vikes thier first loss last weekend, they better clean things up this week.
Hope the Viking can whip those Packers on thier home turf as those dang Packers fans that wear those stupid foam Cheesehead hats really annoy me

I am actually going to go with the Pack on that one. It is a picture perfect story game. Besides the Pack D is going to be gunning for Favre.

oww, hurtin' on the Eagles prediction. Hope it ain't so.

Hate the Giants, but I believe that game is a pick-'em.

As is the Jets/Dolphins.

yeah, Westbrook is out and Jackson is shaken. Hope its interesting and not a yawner.

Niner's having a great game right now against the Colts. Offense is lacking at the moment on both teams. Only big play was a 69 yard TD run by Frank Gore in the first QTR. Niner Defense though is containing Manning.

Niners lead the Colts 2 minutes left in teh half 7-6. Just through a 27 yard pass to Crabtree.

Eagles are beating up on the Giants right now.

Take that back!

49ers are up 14-6 at half time! Alex Smith looks great! Just through a TD pass to Vernon Davis. That's Vernon's 4th from Alex Smith in 2 games and his 7th overall.

Don't want to get to excited though. This is the Colts and they will probably come back and win.

Edit: Here come the Colts. They are at the 29 yard line and about to score. Looks like it might be 14-13 at halftime...

2nd Edit: Colts kick a FG and halftime score is 49ers 14-9 Colts.

 

[Njaco]

Eagles are 30 to 7 at the half!! Will the Giants show up to play soon?

Hope the Ninrs take it from the Colts.

 

[ToughOmbre]

I'll be rootin' hard for New York tonight in Game 4, but right now, I want to see the Eagles humiliate the G-Men. And they're doin' just that!

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Just like thought though, Manning bringing the Colts back now, driving down the field! Come on D!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Well Colts came back and one the game, just like I said they would. I love my Niners and we are a better team now, but we are not quite there yet.

 

[ToughOmbre]

Disappointing day for us Jet fans as the special teams killed us.

But, the Jet D was outstanding once again, and the rookie QB played well.

And both head coaches were clueless with regard to the 2 point conversion.

(but the Giants got killed )

Miami had 100 yds total offense and still had 25 minutes of possession time. How the blazes do you manage that?

Yeah I would say the Jet's D was pretty strong.

Minnesota is threatening to bury Green Bay early here.

As the song goes......Monday...Monday...Saints-Falcons

 

[Bucksnort101]

Queens win! Not that I'm going to get myself too worked up over the Vikings overall season yet, but I just like seeing them beat the Packers!!! Two times in one year is even better. The Pack did make a game of it in the second half though.

 

[Messy1]

I was not able to watch the 49ers/Colts game, and had to hear final score over the radio at about 6 pm. I was both happy and disappointed the game was that close.

 

[Coors9]

7-0......WOW

 

[kgambit]

7-0......WOW

Beating the Falcons is ALWAYS cause to celebrate! 7-0 just makes it sweeter!

The Saints, despite being 7-0, are starting to play with fire. Their last two games were really sloppy from a turnover standpoint. 4 against the falcons and at least 3 against the Dolphins. If they can stop turning the ball over at that rate, they are scary good. If not, it's going to hurt them eventually and likely in the playoffs.

Injuries might be rearing their head. In the last two weeks, the saints lost Heath Evans (starting fullback - on IR - out for the year), Sedric Ellis (starting DT - out for 4 to 6 weeks with an MCL), and possibly Jonathan Goodwin (starting center - injured against Atlanta - no report on extent of injury yet)

The Saints defense still is coming up big though - Greer's Int return for a touchdown is now the 6th TD scored by the defense (that's one more touchdown than Cleveland's OFFENSE has scored btw).

You're not going to be perfect, week in and week out. The fact that you are winning when not playing your best speaks volumes.
