They have one thing going for them.

Da Packers aren't on their (regular season) schedule.

See ya in January, perhaps!

Fellow Packers fan here. My fiancée is a GB fan big time, so since my Chiefs are in the AFC, I have adopted the Pack as my NFC team. What's not to like about Aaron Rodgers? The guy is phenomenal. Right now, I wouldn't want to play against Rodgers or Manning, they both look unbeatable.

I'd add Philip Rivers to that list .... on any given day, he's capable of picking up the Chargers and carrying them past most any other team .... I hope tonight's Texans VS Steelers (both teams 3 & 3) turns out to be a good one

Rivers is a very good QB, agreed. He stands in the pocket, chaos all around, and out comes the ball, on target. My Chiefs seem to have been able to beat Rivers and SD on occasion, so that I think skews my vision on how good Rivers is.

Thursday Night Football, SD at Den, should be a good game. SD has got to find a way to pressure Manning.

we've followed Rivers since he was the QB at NC State .... in the days leading up to the NFL Draft his coach made the comment, "All he does is win" .... the thing that continues to impress me about him is he doesn't have the level of support players and still manages to pull out upsets on a fairly regular basis

Big Ben in Pittsburgh had a really good day against the Colts ... he set a personal record by throwing 6 TD passes in a single game

Jim

Poop...Packers whooped by a team that desperately needed to win.

How 'bout them Steelers Win when I expect a loss and lose to poor teams

What's wrong with the Falcons Ty? I can't put my finger on it. Are both OL and DL's just not very good?

The OL is broken up. I think we are playing 3 or 4 backups right now. They aren't giving Matt Ryan much time to throw. However, they are still producing decently. The DL isn't getting the penetration that they should but I can't put my finger on it. I think they are the best team with fewer than 3 wins right now. LOL. That game in London against the Lions should have been a win. 21-0 at halftime and then we just gave the game away. We did stop them at the end... 4 seconds left, still leading, Detroit kicks... Wide right! No, wait... delay of game against the Lions, 5 yard penalty, replay down... kick, good. Game over. Dead ball fouls inside of 2 minutes don't earn the customary 10 second run off of the clock like regular offensive penalties... sigh... But, we are still only 1 game out of first place in our division! Only because it sucks so bad this year... But, I'm still a fan. Our bandwagon is missing a couple of tires and a horse.

the Cowboys and Redskins are up tonight on Monday Night Football .... hopefully it will be a good game
