The only question that separates them from the Raiders is, "are you out on parole?"

Are you undead? Al always believed his big advantage was braaaaains!! (I'd like to know what's in that glass, too.)

The last Seattle team that got dismantled like that, they upped and moved to OKC.

Manning one win away from all time record. Will it be today.

Been watching the sport for years but still don't suite understand the rules. That throw then to the end zone, the defender never once looked back and had his hands all over the receiver yet no flag. Why?

I thought if you didn't look back and do that it's a PI, if the refs don't know how are we supposed to know

Technically it was pass interference but at some point you have to stop rewarding the offense for simply throwing up bad passes. I think that was one of those situations where contact, though illegal was minor, and the throw wasn't good so the refs just let it slide.

Congrats to Carolina...couldn't cope with the field conditions in the first half and they dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

Wondering if our linemen changed cleats at halftime.

To be fair I always liked Al Davis. Except when it came to the continuous hiring and firing of coaches. I don't agree with that, I don't think it gets anyone anywhere.

I think Arizona matches up against the Pats extremely well however Carolina is a bad matchup for them. I also think that the Pats match up well against Carolina. Therefore assuming the Pats vanquish whatever MASH unit they face next week, I think the Pats are the favorites now.

Ben's a tough old piece of saddle. I don't know who'll win this, but all credit to him. He's a gamer.

You're probably right. Both these teams are straight outta the ER.

Jeebus! How open can you BE? Shocking coverage from Denver.

Catchable? Not that I saw the play in question.

Cmon you Steelers

If our punting game wasn't a crying Michael Jordan meme we'd be dominating this.

It takes decades to understand it. Like learning a new language.
