NFL Sunday Open Thread - Sister Toldjah

NFL Sunday The best news of the day will be for Panthers fans, who can rest assured that their team will not lose today.

Because they’re not playing. Their game for the week is over – they were defeated Thursday night in primetime by the Dolphins here at home. So now that that is out of the way, I can actually enjoy a day of Sunday football without worrying about whether or not my team is going to show up, or just simply go through the motions.

What games do you have your eye on? C’mon, everyone – I know it’s that blockbuster show down between the Browns and the Lions. How would you like to be the color commentator calling that one? They probably will have some No-Doze handy. FWIW, I picked the Lions to win that one in the football pool this week. It’s really a toss-up.

In all seriousness, I’ll have my eye on the Patriots/Jets game, and not just because I think Tom Brady’s hot. I think it’ll be a good match up between division enemies. The Jets won their first meeting 16-9. Today they’ll be playing on New England’s home turf, where Brady and the gang will be looking both for revenge and a recovery from last week’s embarassing loss to the Colts.

Last but not least: For your entertainment, a memorable – and humorous – moment in NFL history (via Keith):

I’m off to do some Thanksgiving grocery shopping. Will check back in later.

I’ll be keeping an eye on 49ers-Packers: it’s our chance to get even again, and the Pack is a team we can beat, assuming our offense doesn’t give the game away.

Meanwhile, I have Colts-Ravens on the tube. Good game, so far.

Bummer on the niners loss today, Anthony – but be happy for me as I think I picked the Packers to win in the football pool In fact, IIRC I’m doing pretty well so far today with the exception of the Pitt/KC game (gotta find my pick sheet – have misplaced it).

OK – here are the games I’ve gotten wrong so far:

Dolphins/Panthers
Bills/Jags
Pitt/KC

Of the remaining games left that are currently in progress, the teams I picked are winning.

I was happy to see the Viks win again. I watched the Saints/Tampa Bay game and was happy to see the Saints win that too. In 2004 I went to the Superdome to watch this game and the Saints disappointed big time. My Ohhh My what a difference a few years makes and a very good QB.

I was watching the Cards/Rams play but the Rams haven’t been a winning franchise since Warner left them. It is no big surprise they are getting there tushies handed to them.

Actually I am highly impressed with the Lions QB. He would be a good replacement for Dellahome. If the Lions could build an offensive line around him, they will be a force to reckon with.

Soooo here I sit eating roasted red pepper hummus on pretzel chips and am watching the Pats stomp the poor Jets. My Bro is a big Jets fan going back to Broadway Joe. I was hoping they would represent, but it don’t look like it so far. – Lorica

….it was a day of miracles, no doubt about it! My poor, wretched Raiders defeated the Bungles in the final minute. And even the lowly Lions managed to eke out a win. Who’da thunk??
