Week 8 Discussion Thread

So we kick it all off with the Bucs at the Vikes tonight.

Seeming as we have a large Bucs contingent, you confident?

by crazy_dave23 Thu 25 Oct 2012, 21:12

I'm betting squarely on the Vikes...
so many home teams win these TNF games.

by crazy_dave23 Thu 25 Oct 2012, 21:14

Im also looking forward to seeing the Steelers recast as Bumblebee's this weekend... check it out Wink

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 25 Oct 2012, 21:15

I am going Bucs Dave. Dunno why, just have a hunch.

As for Steelers as bumblebee's, wtf?

Good god almighty Shocked

Doug Martin is a beast. Ronde's still got it.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Oct 2012, 09:34

Remember the games kick off an hour earlier this week people

by BamBam Sun 28 Oct 2012, 10:54

Clash with the Utd-Chelsea game .. doh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Oct 2012, 18:05

Pats are balling at the minute. 21-7, three straight TD drives!

Gronk with over 100 yards and a TD already. He is such a beast

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Oct 2012, 18:08

And Gronk marched like a soldier before his spike Laugh

What a lad

by Colan (niner) Sun 28 Oct 2012, 18:17

what a catch for a td by Kendall Wright, people have to start realising that the Titans have one of the best offenses in the NFL

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Oct 2012, 18:34

Could Aaron Rodgers start playing football please. You are playing Jacksonville remember, PUT UP SOME GODDAMN FANTASY POINTS

by Bull Sun 28 Oct 2012, 18:41

Cutler pick you weight and get some points on the board ! Your playing against the panthers !!

by Bull Sun 28 Oct 2012, 20:14

Bears edge the win Yahoo

but Stafford gets me 31 points in fantasy league but to bad he was on the bench as i started cutler! picard

by Colan (niner) Sun 28 Oct 2012, 20:29

hard enough to win an NFL game without bs calls. I like Andrew Luck and what he had done for the colts but the refs are a big reason the Titans were beat there. I've never seen such lopsided PI calls and missed roughing the passer in my lfe. Oh, and it was a fumble! Easy FG and game was in the bag

by GSC Sun 28 Oct 2012, 20:37

Feels like the end of the Reid era. Mentally checked out of this season at this point.

by GSC Sun 28 Oct 2012, 21:15

Well at least we arent the Cowboys

by Take it to the house Sun 28 Oct 2012, 21:17

Wow, Romo and the Cowboys are playing really well!

by Breadvan Sun 28 Oct 2012, 21:22

Romo having a absolute shocker. Shocked

3 ints and the G men 23 -0 up...

by adams_legend Sun 28 Oct 2012, 21:26

Finally got to see the rams and they didn't bother turning up on the pitch.

Was sitting next to a cowboys fan who was going on about how good Romo is, as least that score line has put a smile back on my face

by Take it to the house Sun 28 Oct 2012, 22:32

Well this game is turning right round!

by CFCNick Sun 28 Oct 2012, 22:38

Balls!!!

by Take it to the house Sun 28 Oct 2012, 23:56

What a crazy finish!

by GSC Mon 29 Oct 2012, 07:44

Sounding very much like its Nick Foles time in Philly

by GSC Mon 29 Oct 2012, 07:48

And by extension LeSean McCoy time

by **Derbyblue** Mon 29 Oct 2012, 11:49

2-6.

by crazy_dave23 Mon 29 Oct 2012, 19:01

It's not critical importance... but during Week 8... I met Mike Carlson Smile

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 29 Oct 2012, 19:06

Is he as much of a legend in real life as he is on the telly?

I'm actually really jealous of that Dave Laugh

He just is a legend. Was just casually walking around the tailgate party by himself constantly getting stopped and asked for a picture or to shake his hand (one of whom was me). Just doing that makes him a legend

He seems like a top bloke in general. Always replying to fans on twitter. I love that he works for like all the major broadcasting companies over here Laugh

Right hand blue

Dez loses

by GSC Tue 30 Oct 2012, 00:16

Wait what.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 30 Oct 2012, 00:18

What time is kick off tonight? Is it 12:30 or 1:30?

by Colan (niner) Tue 30 Oct 2012, 09:25

Absolute dominance from the 49ers. Alex was 18 of 19 for 3 td's and the one drop was a bad drop from a good throw. Add in over 100 yards rushing, plenty of sacks, the D-Line Smith's crushing people and it was a great game. Oh and people must check out the biggest hit of the season, Goldson on Doucet. After their wee fight last year, Goldson has shown him. Crabtree once again destroyed pp7 or pp21 (I still see him at LSU), overrated corner

by Colan (niner) Tue 30 Oct 2012, 09:34

hopefully everyone recognised how god a young corner Chris Culliver is, bar one game this season, he is only giving up 12 yards a game. Like Peterson, a big corner with elite speed but he copes so well with the bigger receivers. Will replace Rogers as number one corner eventually and won't be surprised to see him talked about as a top five NFL CB in a few years

by GSC Tue 30 Oct 2012, 21:46

Carl Nicks is done for the season with a toe injury

by **Derbyblue** Tue 30 Oct 2012, 21:52

@ESPNStatsInfo
Buccaneers lose left guard Carl Nicks to injury. Doug Martin has averaged 4.5 yards/carry running left this season(4.4 up middle, 3.2 right)
Will be a big loss for them for rest of the season.

by GSC Tue 30 Oct 2012, 22:16

49ers apparently asking the NFL to review whether a Crabtree lateral was actually a forward pass so Alex Smith can have the single game accuracy record.

I've just watched a video of the pass a few times and not convinced.

by GSC Tue 30 Oct 2012, 23:09

I'd say no just on the basis on Alex Smith replacing Kurt Warner in a record book
