NFL Week 7

Well, it's another bad week of football games on paper with the best match up probably going to Minnesota vs Pittsburgh, followed by the Gmen vs Falcons on SNF and then I guess Atlanta at Dallas.

Plus we have New England who will probably drop a bomb on the Bucs in London and Michael Crabtree making his first professional start.

Should be a ton of fun.

Giants vs Cardinals... As a Giants fan, I really wanna see how they rebound from the Saints disaster. If Brees and company can exploit their D like that, one would think Warner should do the same.

Sucks that Atlanta has to play twice.

Looking forward to the Dolphins-Saints game. Fins have had two weeks to prepare. Hopefully, they've done some work on the secondary.

The big news in Chicago is that Chad Ochocinco tweeted to Jay Cutler that Peanut Tillman is going to "kiss da baby" and no one knows what that means.

I think it means Jay Cutler is pregnant with Ochocinco's love child.

Anyone see this story?

Worker who fell from San Diego Chargers' press box at game dies - ESPN

I don't get why the story has to include this:

Tough couple of games for the Vikings coming up. At Pitt and at GB. Im hoping for the best but I can see two losses here before the bye week. Pitt will be a tough matchup and the Green Bay means so much for Green Bay that I cant see them not bringing their best game of the year.

Big game for the 49ers this week. Traveling to Houston against an up and down Texans team. Gore will be back and healthy (a HUGE boost) and it's looking like Michael Crabtree will get his first start just 2 weeks after signing.

The Pats are down to 3 WR, as Julian Edelman has a broken arm.

He's looked good - I believe he led rookies in pass receptions.

Sam Aiken is the #3.

Maybe not this week, but with the Bucs and then the bye hopefully Tate can get up to speed by the Dolphins game. Aiken has not really impressed much as a receiver.

he can't go out there and play all 11 positions on defense - it's not 100% his fault (although as coach he certainly should bear some of the blame)

If Tomlin showed up to some event wearing a Ray Lewis jersey, I'd be like WTF too, but I wouldn't really care much, would just think it's odd.

I don't think it's the jersey so much, but the comment that "I just wanted to feel like a winner". I can see that being very annoying to the Titans and fans.

What molson said. The day after possibly the worst loss in franchise history, it comes off as rubbing the fans face in it.

I imagine that he meant it as a joke, but I agree it was in poor taste. I still think people take things too seriously sometimes, but I can see how what he did could be somewhat offensive.

The people who should be pissed off are the Titans *players*. And it should motivate them into actually doing stuff.

Forgot about his comment too. I know I read about this yesterday, and didn't really like it, but it was the comment+jersey combo, not just the jersey.

They look like they don't give a damn though. I have never in my life seen professional athletes look like they care less about what they are doing, than I did in that game last Sunday.

I'd be pissed if my coach said he wanted to feel like a winner.

Jeff Fisher has really gone off the deep end. Earlier this year he extolled how great a guy McNair was and now this.

It was meant to be a joke, but it's obviously a poor and desperate one at best. I'm just failing to see how this positively motivates anybody in the situation, but could definitely see how this could cost him some of the guys in the locker room. I mean, they're already having a hard enough time, but seeing your coach do that, well, wouldn't necessarily surprise me to see more guys quitting on him or tuning him out now and just looking to up their stats/contract standing.

That said, I'd have found it a lot funnier had he not even addressed the jersey, just stand there wearing it, give your speech and leave. The looks on the faces of everybody else there would have been funny to see. Giving them the punchline that early just let them all off the hook entirely too early.

Knoshown Moreno and Austin Collie are probably the two best options now. If Stafford comes back and finishes strong he is in the conversation. I guess Sanchez possibly too but he's behind the 8 ball.

Not a lot of good rookie performances so far.

I'm guessing the Falcons game. Falcons are one of the top NFC teams this season, yet everyone is still picking the Cowboys to win. Fox was hyping that game up big all week.
