:D 3-1 baby

Packers looking very good early. Rodgers looking MVP material at this early stage.

Matt Forte rushed for a massive 205 yards for the Bears as they left it late to beat the Panthers. Some big tackles late on from Urlacher.

Ben Roethlisberger is playing some terrible football at the moment, he's getting little protection and struggling to read the rush and it showed in their loss to the Texans.

Definitely interesting to see the Bengals getting up on the last play of the game. Detroit have kept it together too and come back from 27-3 down, picking Romo three times to win 34-30.

Packers go 4-0 with a huge performance from Rodgers for 408 yards, 2 rushing TD's and a TD thrown to all 4 main WR's. Stellar performance. He'd be bloody close to a perfect game if he hadn't been picked. 49-23 the highest score this season to boot.

New england have kept their record respectable,they've only lost 2 in a row TWICE since 2003 and deal with the Raiders 31-19.

Chargers and Falcons also running to script.

We're in for a nail-biter here in the Giants v Cardinals game.

Games to watch this weekend.

Panthers v Bears will be a huge game this weekend. Both sides need to consolidate form and the offensive line at the Bears has a lot of work to do and the Panthers could pull off an upset here.

Steelers v Houston will be two sides up against it looking to be on the cusp of play-offs, Steelers should pull one out.

Giants v Arizona will be a game of interceptions and fumbles with two out-of-form offences taking each other on.

Game of the weekend though will be Bengals v Bills. Bills are on a roll and the Bengals are looking for a reason to keep selecting Dalton and he should get plenty of chances to throw in what will be a pretty open backfield.

Winners: Panthers, Bills, Browns, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Minnesota, Eagles, Redskins (most boring game of the week), Giants, Falcons, Packers, Pats, Chargers, Baltimore, Bucs.

Romo really struggled to find the end zone this morning, but then one can't blame him with a fractured rib. I was quite impressed that he steered Dallas to a win there. It was more down to the inability of his WR's. They couldn't connect on a 1st and goal at the 2 yard line, which is really unforgivable.

Romo's a pretty tough nut. Massive respect for him recovering his stock after the debacle of week one.

The Bills cover was superb. Brady is indeed mortal though. The Pats had to lose sooner or later. But that was their 15th game in a row over 30 points IIRC.

Brady didn't unravel, the Bills just played a great game.

I'm shattered that I lost in fantasy because of Starks' fumble. Not impressed.

Still in shock Brady threw FOUR turnovers. I had a feeling the Bills would finally land a win this weekend, but to do lose after leading by so much and Brady unraveling like that...it's hurts even more.

On the flip side, I think Brady's gonna be wanting to make amends for this. Watch out for his next match methinks.

Giggity.

Solid win by the packers. A fair few dodgey calls going both ways there. The holding call right at the death against the Bears was the worst though, no idea what was going on there. Greg Jennings got off to a flier in the first quarter but he didn't seem to get up to much for the second and third quarters.

HUGE game by McFadden for the raiders in their 34-24 win over the jets. Slightly surprised by that result.

Cruisey wins for Baltimore and the Bucs.

I said during the week that Pats v Bills would be a shoot-out, and that's exactly what it was. 34-31 to the Bills.

OT win for Detroit and they stay 3-0, quality second half performance there to roll the Vikings.

Somehow the 49ers came out on top against the Bengals despite not entering their offensive half until the 7th minute of the third quarter :?

Good to see Cam Newton direct the Panthers to his first win in torrential rain in Carolina.

Yeah, paying attention so much I did what Joffa has done half a dozen times. Hanging my head in shame.

Not sure what to make of the predictions for the bears v packers match.

Yeah, and now they're in the Superbowl.

Could the Warriors get any more help from the ref tonight? :lol:

I'm still pretty impressed with some of the catches Steve Smith made last week. If Panthers can get a running game together, Newton can be a real threat in coming seasons.

Maybe that was the week before. He made an awesome catch that's all I remember

Nicks plays for the Giants? I didn't watch the Giants game. I'm pretty sure it was Miles Austin.

Hakeem Nicks it was Afro

Someone took a one-hander while holding off the CB for Dallas last week. I forget who. Was a nice catch but wasn't in the end-zone so didn't get much highlight coverage.

Hanging out for Bears v Packers and Bucs v Falcons this week.

Currently 2-0 in our fantasy league, just got up thanks to me having 1 player playing on MNF. Confident of winning again this week as well. My WR crop are effin amazing, ive had Kenny britt on the bench for the last 2 weeks, and he has had 100+ receiving yards both weeks, considering i already have C. Johnson(Det), Fitzgerald(Cards) and A.Johnson(Texans) starting already, it makes up for my weak RBs

Sack Exchange has been scoring ~130 each week. Big ask.

I'm quite happy with being in second, looking forward to Cowra this week. I think I've finally got my team how I want it, but we'll see.

Managed to get a win in Fantasy this week.
Have got Sack Exchange this week. Going to be tough!

That was probably the biggest upset of the week.

So very happy to be so wrong.

Your player is benched though, so no impact. I doubt Brandon Jacobs is going to score over 20 though.

I can't believe Sack Exchange just won 132+-130 against avy :lol:

Looking like I will get a win this week. 20 points ahead of Tiny and we both have 1 player left to play.

That's not much to celebrate. I think the Chiefs and Colts will be this season's whipping boys. The Chiefs are definitely struggling.

I was surprised to see the Titans win. Once again the Patriots did it with ease. Another 400+ yard game for Brady, but it will be interesting to see what happens when he comes up against a real defence like the Jets in week 5 and the Steelers in week 8. Also a little surprised that the Falcons got up.

Once again I've managed to fool the Fantasy predictor and come up with more points than expected and take a win, unless Bradshaw scores a ridiculous 37.40 for Benjo :lol:. Stoked.

Bears next week for the Packers should test their offensive co-ordination and a trip to the falcons 2 weeks later will definitely be interesting.

Colt McCoy baby. Lead the Browns to a win over the Colts.
Shaker will be happy. Titans got a win over the Ravens.

30-23, Newton wasn't a complete pushover. He was definitely helped by some shocking coverage from the CB's early on though. Even in an average looking game, Rodgers threw for a 119.8 rating. Newton threw for a huge 432 yards but only rated a 72.0.

Somehow the Raiders have surrendered a 21-3 half time lead to go down 38-35 to the Bills. Go figure. FIVE lead changes in that game and a hail-mary pass on the final play to steal the game for Oakland intercepted in the end-zone by the Bills.

The Steelers annihilated the Seahawks in a shut-out 24-0. Big yards for Wallace and Mendenhall.

The jets smashed Jacksonville despite Sanchez only throwing for 182 yards.

Matt Cassel had a shocker for Kansas as they got thrashed 48-3.

It's showtime. Some big questions to be answered tonight...

Is Cam Newton for real? Playing against a SB hardened defence will throw things at him he's never seen before. Can he stand up?

How badly do the Giants need a win? They haven't won since last season and things are looking shaky for them.

Are the Bears the real deal? After a huge result last week, can they back it up and demolish the saints' prolific offence?

How much mettle do the Steelers have? Can they bounce back from last week's capitulation in Baltimore.

Stoked for kick-off.
