I'm taking it one week at a time. I'm probably winning because my Vikings are horrible to watch. Everyone else on here is concentrating on their teams. I'm doing the opposite.
-
Packers and Rams would hope for wins to keep up in their divisions. If the Jets beat the Pats heads will explode in New York. A win in Detroit could give the Bengals a little breathing room in the AFC North if the ravens lose in Pittsburgh. Some divisions are taking shape very early. The NFC South is a no contest. The saints have it to lose. Other divisions won't be so clear for the whole year. My Vikes start their third QB on monday night football against the awful Giants. The problem is the Vikes are just as bad and another new QB won't change the bad secondary and the terrible offensive line that last year helped AP get to where he did. Freeman Vs Eli could mean about 15 interceptions for the game. Chargers Patriots Dallas

I couldn't comprehend what AP or anyone else in that situation goes through. For him to play was remarkable. Rogers Play action TD was a pretty thing to watch. A few injuries to your boys though.
-
Bad week for the vikes. Adrian peterson's 2 year old son to his ex was physically abused and died. Pretty horrible news and they lost to the panthers at home. I'd say it would take a miracle by the new messiah freeman to get us back in contention. Didn't see the saints pats game but will have to watch it. Bengals, packers, chiefs, 49ers and rams get up. I'm feeling lonely.
-
Yep it seems Melbourne and other fans go into a fit if their teams aren't heavily involved in the trade period every day. How many cam Pederson's do we want? No news is good news for me at the moment.
-
Got to see the last quarter at work. I thought Manning was in his game saving mode as he has done so many times before. Nek Minute interception and game over. Bloody Bears keep winning and Giants keep losing. Your right Jets fans will be over the moon with the year they and the Giants are having.
-
Green Bay Bengals Detroit. All NFC north teams should win this week which doesn't help my vikings. Saints at Patriots will be a dead set cracker as will the Jags at Denver. The scoreline at Denver should read like Round 2 Melbourne Vs Essendon. A lot of talk about QB's fighting to keep their jobs. Schaub at Houston, Ponder at Vikes, Newton who has done very little after his rookie year. Matt Ryan will be without Jones for the year and Eli Manning would be furious at the Giants record.
-
What to say about the Dallas game? Romo can do no wrong until the 4th quarter. Great by the bengals and KC. The same cant be said about the giants and jags. Packers may be playing without cCay Matthews for a while. I'm trying to get my head around Freeman in purple. Will ponder go from a starting QB to a 3rd stringer? Cassel played very well in London and will probably start next week. I'd imagine freeman will need time to get used to the offensive scheme so he may be a starter soon. Our offence is pretty simple though. Hand it to AP. Repeat that 40+ times a game. Then to confuse the defense, Play action then throw it out of bounds just to remind the defense that we might throw it. Then hand it back to AP.

Ah I jus woke up and have a very sore head. My bad Rollo. -
Gotta feel for Hoyer. Done his ACL and is out for the year. If you think AFL players talk in circles at interviews Santonio Holmes takes it to a new level. "Our offense is our offense. The Falcons' offense is theirs. We have a defense that plays against the opponent's offense. And vice versa."
-
With Baltimore being a bit off (Flacco 5 INT) do the browns make you nervous?
-
With free agents going everywhere at the moment the thought of us getting screwed over keeps occurring to me. But then I imagine Peter Jackson at his desk (cheap desk) preparing some all mighty deals.

Colin Sylvia going ... going ... GONE!

We need to get into a financial position where we can pay 100% of the salary cap. Successful clubs can still afford to entice free agents because they have the advantage over us in that they can pay the full cap. -
Detroit are playing the way everyone thought they would last year. Detroit were 10-6 a couple of years ago and were tipped to be the next NFC contender. I don't know what went wrong last year but I hope it starts to happen again. KC are a great story and provide hope that it can turn around. Cleveland's turn around is a head scratcher. They trade out Richardson and win 2 in a row and now sit equal on top of the AFC north. They can't even tank properly!
-
I'm getting lucky in the tips due to some horrible teams going around at the moment. Giants,Steelers,Bucs and Jags are very ordinary. The gap between good and bad is huge. KC Denver San Diego
-
I thought Freeman was going to take that next step but he seems to have gotten worse. We have a superstar QB in Matt Cassel! He actually played very damn well. 16/25 248 yards with 2 TD and 0 interceptions. I keep waiting for Ponder to stamp the position as his but he isn't dangerous in the pocket and we have a classier receiving group this year then we did last year. Freeman does need a new home though. He is done at Tampa.

Indy Arizona Washington Vikings host Pittsburgh in London. Chicago and Detroit will be a cracking game. St.Louis could hurt the 49ers. Some fun games to watch apart from the vikings game. Word is Matt Cassell will start at QB.

If you have a football can you please bring it with you? My daughters pink sherrin didn't help much last year. -

We need dazzle davey in the midfield. He is a Centre Clearence king. Call Ralph Carr and get the deal done. -
Oh man. SEASON OVER!! Vikings lose to the Browns at home. Good on the Browns I always like seeing a Cleveland team win something/anything but did they have to win on the road with a QB I have never heard of? Bears and Lions are going along nicely and my Vikings are being left in the dust! 0-3 in the NFC north is asking a lot to comeback from. The vikings may have their finger on the panic button but I'm sure the Giants have smashed it already. I couldn't believe that score. Steelers look cooked as well. Dear Big Ben you would look great in purple. Is the reported RG3 and Shanahan bad relationship in the pre season starting to show? I haven't seen a skins game yet so I don't know. Strafford you must be a happy man and Pantaloons can you tell me how it feels to support a undefeated team? It must be a odd feeling compared to the despair we all felt after 3 rounds of Melbourne footy.

Avery is a jet. 3rd and long is not a problem with Avery. Chiefs are looking good if they can keep Vick off the field. Eagles are shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers. Pretty good game so far.

Where's Biffen at? He ran water for us last year. He could have a crack I reckon. -
As of right now Indy must be thrilled. That offence just got instantly better. I couldn't imagine doing a full pre season with your team being ready to go for another year and by week 3 you get the tap on your shoulder and you have to pack ya bags and relocate yourself and your family to another city. Such is life in American sports I suppose.
