Comments

  • I said to my wife before the 4th quarter "this game is far from over". The Eagles, Ravens, Bills all look great (as usual). I am very interested in how the Bears young team performs tonight. They wowed in the pre-season.
  • Vikings<>Bears
    Interesting game. The Vikings were AWOL in the first half and the Bears were in the second. Maybe neither team wanted to be there.
  • Yeah, a bit disappointing. It was close though.
  • TONIGHT Packers & Commanders
    Hope you have Amazon !

    Love the NFL. Hope I don’t offend anyone but my four favorite teams are the Bills, Bengals, 49ers, and Ravens.
  • Wow, 4 teams? I've always rooted for 2 different NFL teams and I thought that was "cheating". (I will not name them because they both stink).

    I use to be a one team guy - whatever team Tom Brady was on. The Pats and then the Bucs. Yes I know many dislike him. But nothing was given to him on a silver platter. Fought all four years in college to be a starter. Then draft pick 199. A slow white boy who couldn’t scramble. Not much was expected out of him except by himself and then look what he achieved.

  • @Junkster One heck of a QB for sure! Mr. Bill helped his wining ways!
    Enjoy the game, Derf
  • Packers WON! Has anyone other than myself noted the addition to the helmet for protection? I believe that they stated last year on a limited amount. Concussions nothing to play with!

    I have the same favorites. Teams that I love to watch perform. I will add KC and Philly to that list, at present. My wife has taken a huge interest in the NFL over the past decade.

    I don't dislike him and a person or player. But, I do dislike dynasties in general, I tend to root for underdogs. His skill is not to be understated. He has impressed me as a commentator, thoughtful, well-spoken and knowledgable. I think I appreciate him more now.

    I used to root only for the hometown team, then in search of more NFL entertainment, I started branching out. I discovered more and more teams worthy of admiration.

    I like watching young teams evolve too. Jackson, Purdy, Mahomes, Love, Allen, that sort of thing.

    Each year there is a sleeper team that comes to the fore. I am wondering if this year it will be the Packers, The past two years with Love they have been really good but not quite elite. This year they may just be elite. And now they have Parsons.

    Yep, I did not see them coming on so fast and strong. And I am disappointed with the Bears, so far. The wife is a packer's fan. We were discussing the rankings before the season started, and that they would change a lot once the games began.

    Broncos, then Brady/Patriots for a long while and Brady/Tampa. I even rooted for Brady when playing the Broncos. My friends gave me a lot of noise for that. He was amazing, 10 super bowls in 23 years, that's crazy. He was so accurate passing. I even spent way too much money for front row seats against the Panthers his next to last or last year. Now back to the Broncos.
  • Vikings fan here but I have an equal interest in seeing the Niners and the Bills.

    The Steelers would also fit in there, and will again, as soon as they get rid of Rodgers.
  • @Mark +1 Injury prone! & slowing down as age is showing.
    P.S. I do own a jersey with his #.
  • I used to like him too until he started spouting wacky theories and taunting opposing teams fans. I might expect that from some young running back. But, not a mature QB.

    The question now is can he make it through an entire season.
  • @DrVenture Yes he taunted the Bears, more than once.

    @Derf

    Weirdly, what I admired about him at one time, was his apparent levelheadedness. That went right down the crapper.
