0-2? THAT'S WHEN I'M A VIKING ✰✰✰ NFL Week Three ✰✰✰

En route to foxboro to see big ryan fitzpatrick throw on darius butler for 400 yards. HOLLA

Last week 11-5 (season 22-10)

DET @ MIN : I think the Lions are improving, but the Vikings D should be able to hold them down enough to win.
DAL @ HOU :
BUF @ NE : Patriots
CIN @ CAR : Bengals, but I could see this being kind of ugly and the Panthers hold around.
ATL @ NO : If it was in Atlanta, I might go Falcons, as I think the Saints are a bit infallible, but NO it is.
PIT @ TB : Steelers defense looks to be reloaded, even with the QB troubles I'll take Pittsburgh. It would be a huge win for TB if it happened.
CLE @ BAL : I'll take Ravens in a snoozer fugly played game like usual.
TEN @ NYG : Both of these clubs took a crap last week. Who knows...I'll go Giants.
SF @ KC : This should be a pretty good game. KC at home. SF had a real QB I think they would be really good, but they don't have one.
WAS @ STL : Washington but it will be closer than expected.
PHI @ JAC : Both of these clubs are really inconsistent over the years. I think the Eagles have the talent and should win, but I would believe they would come out flat and j-ville's D could step up and win. I'll take the Eagles but I don't feel confident on it.
SD @ SEA : Chargers should win, but Seattle can be a tough place to get a win. If they lose that is one more knot in the noose for Norv Turner.
OAK @ ARI : Both of these clubs pretty much illustrate what happens when you get pathetic QB play. I'm going Raiders with Gradkowski, as long as he doesn't get knocked out of the game.
IND @ DEN : I'm sure some real Broncos fans are dying to win this one, as Peyton Manning has used Denver as his bitch over the years both completely destroying them a few times and stealing away victories at the final second. I'm going Colts, as I don't think Denver is ready for prime time and without Moreno, they might not be able to run quite as well, which is the key to beating Indy (control the clock and keep the offensive off the field0.
NYJ @ MIA : Lord will ESPN and the NFL Network shut the fxxx up about the Jets? I'm taking Dolphins just hoping that they might take the din down a notch.
GB @ CHI : Hmmmmm....I want to take the Bears and I really hope they impale those bastards in Yellow, but the betting side of me knows that the Pack probably have the defensive goodies to really run havok with Chicago's crappy o-line. Packers but I hope I am wrong.

Oh Yeah - Dallas at Houston -- This is a hard game to pick. They are kind of the same club, lots of talent and some star power but they will do dumb plays to blow games. Houston has given up a crap load of passing yards in the past couple of weeks and the Cowboys are getting back a couple of O-lineman from injuries. I'm taking Cowboys but like with the Indy game, if Houston wants to step up to the big leagues they got to win this one and I am still a bit skeptical. A Cowboy 0-3 start would be great from a schadenfreude perspective.

DET @ MIN : Detroit. Would that even be considered an upset pick anymore? Detroit's getting better and better and I predict Favreceptions galore.
DAL @ HOU : Houston. Wade has got to be fored if Dallas loses, right?
BUF @ NE : Pats. Moss and Welker please score ten TDs apiece kthxbi.
CIN @ CAR : God the Panthers are awful.
ATL @ NO : Saints are bad but they're not THAT bad.
PIT @ TB : Steelers, duh.
CLE @ BAL : Cribbs can't even return the ball well anymore! Ravens in a blowout.
TEN @ NYG : Giants
SF @ KC : Chiefs. Will Thomas Jones please blow out his knee in four places???
WAS @ STL : Redskins. McNugget is my man.
PHI @ JAC : Jags
SD @ SEA : Chargers
OAK @ ARI : Cards. How in God's name did Derek Anderson make the Pro Bowl???
IND @ DEN : Colts
NYJ @ MIA : Dolphins in a snoozefest
GB @ CHI : Packers. This shoud be a great game.

None of the four games I want to see are being shown on regular TV or basic cable. Kinda hate that I have to sit at Buffalo Wild Wings all day just to watch NFL games. Insight also, to my knowledge, doesn't offer any sort of NFL fastpass kinda package, a la DirecTV, where you can watch all the games.

OK, rant over. Guess I'm watching the Bungles.

jesus christ -- how many deflected interceptions has eli thrown this year? 5?

also lemme know if anyone can hook it up w/ a stream of the dallas game

texans-cowboys looks like its gonna be chippy

ATDHE has a stream!

assholes fyi directv is the only provider that offers the comprehensive nfl package--so tons and tons of ppl are out in the cold on that one.

just didn't want you to feel too alone--if u live in a different city from yr team there's a good chance you have to watch at a bar. sucks imo.

yeah the atdhe stream was asking me to download some shit, guess i might

god, lol at the cowboys forever

fuck, really eli?

aaron hernandez is fantastic

hello RANDY MOSS

xpost Thanks, destroyer. Tough being a Titans fan in Bungles country. I'd probably settle for the Houston - Dallas game, but I've got Saints - Falcons and Bengals - Panthers here. It'd be much cheaper to just get DirecTV than to spend untold amounts at the bar every week, but they don't even offer it here. Lame

i don't get why the nfl doesn't have a thing where you can pay them to stream games online in good quality -- mlb & nba do it -- it doesn't make any sense

god the giants suuuuuck

fuckin diehl sucks ass

just a guess but i bet their contract w/directv is very, very exclusive

yeah but i don't see how it's not profitable for directv to get in on it too -- make me pay $125 for the whole year or something -- you can sell more ads etc

just seems like they could make some money doing that instead of holding out for ppl to subscribe to directv completely

ugly redzone possession by the texans

yeah that was not good

hey! nice deep ball by charlie batch to mike wallace! wtg old dude.

It's weird. This is the second Houston game I've seen this season. I can't remember ever seeing more than one in one year before.

guess no lions wanted 2 cover harvin there

<3 dex mccluster

That was a killer run by Dex

he's awes

Drew Brees WHAT??

Yikes

The Browns defense is very very very bad.

BILLS

christ, fuckin patriots

the hell is going on there

defense sucks

but hey, danny woodhead!

yeah defense looks awful. who is danny woodhead?? i mean, i know they signed him lately, but..

isn't that the dude they signed from the jets?

yea he was featured a lot in hard knocks

yeah he's nu-kevin faulk

49ers offense is so inept that I am finding myself rooting for the Chiefs

i'm sure it's been mentioned before (here even) but damn Brad Childress looks like a serial killer.

i think it's usually a molester but yeah he just straight up looks like a creep

DID YOU GUYS JUST SEE THIS LITTLE TIDBIT IN THE DALLAS GAME

that their kicker has never attempted a 50+ yard field goal in the nfl OR IN COLLEGE

Did he play on a short field? WTF

so raise your hand if you also thought to yourself "well if charlie batch is gonna be quarterback i'm just gonna go ahead and BENCH mike wallace this week"

Xpost yeah 49ers don't look great...Chiefs have had some nice runs & their D is pretty tite

hey, gostkowski didn't miss. all right
