Early games open thread

PrintOur Eagles have the week off, but the NFL does indeed go on anyway... For everyone watching the early games, here's a place to chat. There's some interesting matchups early on.
Lions at Bears, Raiders at Texans, Bengals at Browns, Seahawks at Colts, Titans at Jaguars, Giants at Chiefs (will there be an easier game to pick in the NFL this year?), Ravens at Patriots is probably the best early game, and the Buccaneers at Redskins.
As a reminder, Comcast is offering a free preview of the new NFL Red Zone channel this weekend during the 1pm games. So you can follow every single one of these games this afternoon live every time a team gets into the red zone. There's no Eagles game to watch so you've got 4 hours to dedicate to red zone! So be sure to check it out and let me know what you think of it.

I'm going to get the Giants-Chiefs game.
Oh, god… what horror that is going to be. As least the 4:00 PM matchups are good (Cowboys at Broncos and Jets at Saints).
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
Jets-Saints
is the game I’m most looking forward to

My lineup blows. At 1:00 i get Giants-Chiefs, which will be over by the half. Then I get Cowboys-Broncos at 4:00 which should be a little better, especially if the Boys lay an egg.

Anybody else get REDzone for free? I kinda like it. Its for people with football ADD with is nice

Hey if anyone plays fantasy football, would you start Aaron Rodgers or Joe Flacco?
Right now I put in Flacco for a few reasons. First of all, he has slightly better stats on the season than Rodgers. Second, Rodgers has the worst offensive-line in the league in terms of allowing sacks. Third, Rodgers is playing on a huge MNF stage, and the whole Favre fiasco could really add a crazy amount of pressure on his shoulders.
The Ravens go against the Patriots defense, but I think they should be able to establish the run-game and eventually look deeper down the field.
Am I thinking along the right lines here?

This is an amazing link for the Pats-Ravens game.

It’s slightly delayed from the live feed, but it’s the best quality I’ve ever seen online.

Started Ray Rice over Leon Washington, Joe Addai and Donald Brown…
Feeling like I made the wrong call.

I think Ray Rice will end up with a decent game.

Steve Smith (Giants) is an absolute gold-mine. I picked him up as a free agent 2 weeks ago, and he already has 13 points.

All the bad teams doing pretty well today. Buc winning 7-0 against the redskins, should’ve been 10-0. Raiders tied with the Texans. Chiefs staying close with the Giants. Jacksonville 10-0 against the Titans. Brown about to put some points up on the board.
NFL Redzone is awesome…
Felix is better than Brian. You can call me FIBTB.
I'm not sure
but i have comcast.
Campbell picked off on 4th down. Bucs threatening again.

Odd facts about the NFL today...
Sack Leaders : Antwan Odom – 7.0
Elvis Dumervil – 6.0
Dwight Freeney – 4.0
Greg Ellis – 3.0
INT Leader -- Tie – MICHAEL HUFF (seriously?) Darren Sharper, and Charles Woodson with 3 each
Cedric Benson is 3rd in the league in rushing with 293 yards
Maybe he had to drop a deuce.
Victorino called it intestinal problems a few games back.

Two easy wins
So far the next two games seem pretty much like a walk in the park since we’re going up against the bucks (1-3) and the raiders (1-3) .

I’ve never been partial to the broncos but I am glad our old players are still playing top notch football. It pains me to see Correll in so much anguish though. Brian Dawkins gave alot of pressure and tackles. They still got it.
