Anyone Interested In Doing An NFL Pool For Fun?

Batch played MUCH better then I thought could. Miami needs to fix there D it was off from last year.

Seriously! Batch gets 3 TD passes and Heath Miller gets off too! My D got me 14 fantasy points last night! I'll be pulling for the Steel Curtain all season.

The refs bias towards the Steelers is sickening. I'm sorry, but "not seeing the challenge flag" when it was thrown 5+ seconds before the snap is BS. Not to mention on that call, the ref was standing right at the goal line and had a perfect view of the guy being out of bounds. I'm not trying to discount the Steelers win as they probably would've won anyway, but it's quite clear that they are the most favored team in football by the refs.

Oh well, this just means the Patriots will have sole-posession of first place on Sunday.

Well they did miss a pass interference call on Miami that turned into a TD a few plays later. But that was a bad call when the guy was out of bounds. Not a great night for the refs anyway you look at it.

I'm assuming you're a pats fan, and if so i think referee favoritism directly handed them their first super bowl. Tuck this.

I very much dislike the pats btw. been a lifelong steeler fan and they OWN the steelers. I happened to be at the game in pitt in 04 (reg season) that snapped New Englands 14 game winning streak. Loved that, hated the playoff embarrasment later that year.

I love when people say it was the ref's fault with the tuck rule controversy. The ref made the correct call as the rule was written at the time. The problem was with the rule, not the ref.

First time in a while that New Orleans has dominated the picks...even if it is against Green Bay. I think they're gonna be decent this year. I don't think they're playoff calibur, but they're close. Plus they have the Dome back.

Gents win!

Somebody please resart my heart...lol I can't believe the Giants pulled it out. What a game...unreal. What a tale of 2 halves. The Gents OL needs some improvement, the defense until the end was ineffective. Manning played well but he still holds onto the ball too long. A win is a win, I'll take it.
