People just don't appreciate good defense anymore. I'll take a lower scoring defensive game over an offensive shootout any day. A close defensive game will keep me biting my nails and on the edge of my seat, whereas with a shootout I'll be getting frustrated as my team keeps giving up scores. BTW, congrats to the good guys winning last night!

It's not that it was good defense. The Bears played like shit with penalties and sloppy play.

This is hilarious to me. I feel a little bit bad for the Raiders, giving up those picks for him, but still: The Headcase was released! :-D

Last year a family member of mine took Leveon Bell at no. 1 in our fantasy draft.



You can see where this is going. Same person took AB in the second round this year.

What's even most hilarious is that the Patriots just signed him.  Cue the conspiracy theories at any moment.

I hope that the Cheats self-destruct in pivotal Game 17 due directly to AB's antics.

The pats' last regular season game never matters, because they're 27-2 and have already clinched the no.1 seed weeks before that.

It's not that it was good defense. The Bears played like shit with penalties and sloppy play.

It was a typical Packers-Bears game - gobs and gobs of overpowering defense from both teams and just enough offense to get the job done.

:cool:

That said, the TV and radio guys were all commenting on how rusty both teams' offenses were and they were all pointing their fingers at the pre-season games and how pretty much none of the first string players took any snaps during any of them.  No chance to really congeal in game situations.

And I agree - it showed.

:banghead:

The CFL do some games in the Atlantic provinces to test the waters of possible expansion in the area.

What a crazy fall from grace and exit from the league, should he really be done. I'm not entirely convinced of that yet.

I'm beginning to think University of Arkansas is about to start shopping for a new coach.  The current coach has run up an impressive 3-11 record since 2018 ;)

Another miserable day to be a Dolphins fan. My Smokin' Jay Cutler, "don't care" shirt will be getting a lot of use this season.

S/O to Pete Carroll...drilled in the face but still out there.

The Bills and Patriots both have 3-0 records, and they face off next week at New Era Field.

I'm not into sports at all - never have been - but this is one game I'll be watching at least semi-closely. Not only because it's rare to have two 3-0 teams facing each other. The winner goes 4-0, and if the Bills can pull off the upset, they'll have a better record than the Pats, and they may even have a decent shot at winning the AFC East, becoming the first non-Patriots winner in at least a decade, if not my entire lifetime.

The entire USA should be rooting for the Bills in this game, because I think we're all - even non-sports followers like myself - thoroughly sick of seeing the Pats at the Super Bowl.

One advantage to being a Dolphins fan right now: nobody will think you're on a bandwagon.
