According to almost everything I've read so far, the matchups in the Packers-Colts game tend to favor the Packers. A strong offensive line that shows no signs of weakening is the key to the offense. If James is indeed out, the Packers can concentrate more on the passing game. But the kicker, it's in a dome and on astro-turf. Let's hope the dome demons can be exercised before sunday.

It really doesn't matter how well they match up to the colts. They're playing in a dome on turf. I go by those stats. However, they just came off a really bad loss, so maybe they'll put on a show, sometimes it's hard to tell. Did anyone know William Henderson did not start against the Bears? :(		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Well, the Packers and Vikes returned the same olines as last year, and the Vikes lead the league in Rushing...so there :) No, but really the rosenthal/kliensasser season ending injuries makes that side of the line a hurting unit. So to sum up wehave 3 guys gone for the year, we're out our #1 and 2 backs our 3rd guy is going to be suspened and we're down to our 3rd string TE....but yeah Grady Jackson is a big loss. ;)		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I wasn't impressed either, I kept having to remind myself that intradivisional games are almost never a blowout regardless of what the teams look like on paper. The Vikes also lost thier best linebacker and their probowl center very early in the game. So they were just as banged up. Grossman was carted off with like a minute left in the game, I hope for the bears' sake he's alright.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I know. I made the same comment to Jeremy. Heck, reggie wayne had a better game than randy moss. But, they must not be able to nominate people from the same game or something. I just feel so bad for walker. he had a career game, an awesome game. then he has a game losing fumble and they take three yards away from his stats so that he doesn't have over 200 yards. the dejected look on his face made me want to go and give him a hug. i want to tell him that it's ok and that he should still be proud of his game. i didn't think we had a chance against the colts and yet we played awesome.

Randy Moss didn't fumble away his team's chance to win the game. Also I think it does have 90% to do with not wanting to put more than one player/game on the list.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

	Jeremy - 9563 Posts 09/26/2004 @ 09:18:15 PM
It has a lot to do with recievers getting no love. Let's say for example the rational was not wanting more than one per game. The question then is did Javon do better than Manning. I think the answer is a resounding yes. A 200 yard 3 td game from a WR is way more rare than a 5 TD game from a qb.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

MINNEAPOLIS (Sept. 26, 2004) -- For Vikings Receiver Randy Moss, scoring touchdowns just isnt enough. During his teams 27-22 victory over division rival Chicago Bears, Moss caught a touchdown pass, and then proceeded to strike a disabled fan with the football, and then taunt the wheelchair ridden fan by celebrating in his face. One person reportedly said that he overhead Moss snidely tell the fan You cant jump with meGoll-ly. On his second touchdown reception, there was no doubting that his malignant post-touchdown celebration was choreographed as he got right back in the face of this poor fan, once again forcefully shoving the ball in his face. Moss recklessly ignored the protective barriers in place, as he pushed the purple velvet rope to the ground that was supposed to serve as protection for the fan. Although our reporters did not bother to talk to the fan directly, we would think that he will be pressing charges, as Moss has once again tried to prove that he is above the law. Moss has also made other questionable decisions such as this one as he has assaulted a referee with clear liquid that could have been sulphuric acid or another biological warfare technique, and he nearly killed a female police officer as he ran over her repeatedly for around 40 seconds.

If Washington has 7 turnovers again tonight I'll take the lead!!! How screwed are many teams with injuries? The Bears will be lucky to win another game, Tampa Bay might win a few if they get some defensive touchdowns. Injuries have always been part of the game, but players seem to be dropping like flies this year. Did anyone watch the FOX pregame show Sunday? Bradshaw was doing his list of current top QB's and Farve was number 3 I think, anyway there was a clip of a Mike Holmgren talking about Farve and saying how Farve was such a good leader and then he said something like he wishes he was still coaching him. I've always wondered if Holmgren had second thoughts after leaving since it has taken him 6 years to really have a team that could win it all. I can only dream about what the Packers could have done in the last 6 years if he would have stayed. Farve's best years came with him as coach, and the Packers wouldn't have wasted a year with Rhodes and I've personally never really liked Sherman.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Let me tell you about getting hosed. In one of my head to head leagues I needed 11 points to tie 12 to win and Testeverde gets me 10. That's hosed, ecspecially when I'm flipping back and forth between the Tonight Show and the game and flip back to the game to see Glenn's TD reception being challenged, challenge denied, I think I've got my points. Then Al Michels has to chime in with some comment about a good pass by Anderson, at which point my 2-0 record becomes 2-1. 9-5 this week, I'm making a comeback. 22-24 total.
