Next 4 games: Washington, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Green Bay. Which of those do you think Detroit can beat?

Detroit can win any of them. I am not saying they will win all but they will probably win one. The most likely is Washington.

I am not a Lions fan. I just like the way they played the first half against the Vikes. If they can play like that for sixty minutes they will win some games.

BTW, jpmn, I’m not slamming Detroit. I just think they have a really tough row to hoe.

Detroit will win some games this year, maybe 3 or 4.

The first team to lose to Detroit this year will never hear the end of it.

Detroit did some impressive things in the first half. Kept the Vikings Defense guessing with a lot of misdirection. Reverses, draws, screens and counters worked well for the first half.

Stanford looks like a winner.

Not only does Romo not win the big one; he blows the big one. If Romo just hands it off and not make big mistakes, Dallas beats NY big. Romo kept NY in that game.

The Jim Mora Show is on and they keep showing the Frank Gore runs. Enough already. We get it.

When a running back becomes only the second player in NFL history to have two TD runs over 70 yds in the same game, (Barry Sanders was the last one to do this), and a young 49er team defeats their second divison foe in a row, this is called “football news”—-something, (with all due respect), fans and sportscasters in the east tend to overlook on a weekly basis. Sometimes “you east-coasters” forget there’s real estate west of the Missouri River.

As a 49er “faithful” since the dog days at Kezar Stadium, this is considered fun for some of us who yearn for the return of the 80′s when Montana and Co. dominated the league for more than a decade. Had enough already? :)

Well that sucked, Romo was a big disappointment. That game had all the glitz of a playoff, I am beginning to believe the hype that he can’t win the big one.

Matt Hasselbeck hurt his ribs, not his back. That is good news for the Seahawks. He should be back in a week or so.

I’m so ticked at Wade Phillips, I’m GLAD the Giants made the winning FG TWICE. Congrats to the Giants.

Giants had the ball last, and they win: 33-31.

Oh man, I hate this. These time-outs right before the ball is snapped ought to be outlawed. I now hate Wade Phillips. That is such unsporting crap.

Awesome. The are playing “The Final Countdown” on the stadium PA. Wheres Gob Bloom?

Wow. If the Giants can kick the FG to win, they will be LUCKY. That 3rd and 4 completion was deflected all over the place and yet went straight to a receiver.

Looks like that and Romo has done the Cowboys in.

When did we get to the point where players celebrate every single play. Stopped for no gain and the defensive player celebrates. Break a hard 8 yard run and the back celebrates. How about actually doing something special before bothering to celebrate.

This is funny, I click on Hotair today right before I go to watch the Bears and the Steelers and I see “Steelers keep rolling”. I thought Ed was writing that the Steelers had won.

I still watched the game and expected the Bears to lose. When they WON, I was shocked. Then I came back here and saw that it was only a prediction!

Da Bears got it done today.

51 points. Have the offenses been that good or the defenses that bad?

. . . and yet Romo manages to eff it up . . . again.
