The Raiders have only 1 winnable game left in their schedule IMO. The road game against the Rams is probably their best chance at getting a W.

Nope. They'll upset the Chargers or Chiefs and maybe beat the Rams. 2-14.

Yeah, they will get at least 2 wins. That Lions team never should have gone without a win. That is a rarity that I don't know if we will see again anytime soon.

I went to that last Green Bay game that year..there was SO much optimism. (for some reason)

Terrible...

I agree with the post though, Bill Clay Ford, Sr. was a good owner.

Dallas beat writer said yesterday he would be shocked if he played this wk so guess hes sticking to that for sure now.

Skip this wk then london game too then they have a bye so it would be like a month off.

Thank God it's a 1pm game so I've got plenty of time to bust a move!

I do agree, that Romo should sit these next 2 weeks and heal up, as best he can. It just sounds like a frightning injury, that could get MUCH worse...I mean like permanant worse!

Romo has had numerous back injuries and I think it's going to affect him for the rest of his life. I would also hold him out through the bye, this isn't something that's going to get better by taking a Toradol injection though.

Sit Romo until he's closer to 100%. Even Brandon Weeden could run the offense so don't risk it.

Umm, coming someone who watched him play for two years in Cleveland, I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Sorry QBs that run all over the place in college, IMO, are just doing themselves a disservice if they want to become successful QBs in the NFL. They all find out they can't win, at a sustained rate, by running the ball. Like the saying goes: You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
The running QB will almost always regress into their running ways and miss simple checkdowns. It happened multiple times last night.
Give me accuracy over legs, in my QB, any day of the week(and twice on Sunday! )

They managed to win games because they have one of the best offenses in the league. Nick Foles has thrown 9 picks in 7 games and LeSean Mccoy is only rushing for 72/game. Most of the Eagles' wins have been against teams with losing records and their two losses have been against teams with strong defenses. To say that all running QBs can't achieve success is not true. Russell Wilson won the Superbowl, and the Panthers offense is more productive when Cam runs the ball.

Do NOT start Fitzpatrick. That is playing with fire.

I'm starting rg3 in place of romo.

What the hell are you talking about he was a horrible owner. It's no coincidence that the team became bad just after his family bought the Lions for him to get him out of Ford Motor Company because he was running the company into the ground. 60 years of not even mediocrity does not all fall on the players and coaches, at some point it starts at the top with ownership. You have no idea the coaches that wanted to come and coach here do you, Ditka, Parcells, Hell even Jimmy Johnson offered at 1 point on live television none the less but they were all told no because Ford did not want to give up control and stay the hell out of the teams business.

So the Eagles have a turnover prone QB, no legit running game, a banged up O-Line, one of the worst Defesens in the league...and they still found ways to win. As you said against teams with losing records, but they buried most them in the wins. My point was they are still getting it done, despite the rash of injuries.
The defense won Seattle the championship. You could've stuck the slowest QB back there and they still would've won.

Oh he'll pass for over 300, maybe 400 against our horrible secondary. Plus I have Philly's D/ST so I would actually gain a point on each INT(if any were to happen )

NFL.com says Romo is out today.

He's a turnover machine.

They just said the weather for the Patriots-Broncos game is a rain/snow mix with very high winds. Might not be the shootout everyone expected.

Good for my birds and I'll still get points.

Conflicted on this has I have Peyton, and I'm playing against him.
I think the weather is more likely to affect Manning than Brady, as he always seems to have some big games in bad weather. Man a 6-3 game here would be a total bummer.

My point is that the o-line is the cause of their offensive problems. Foles isn't turnover prone, he's being forced to throw sooner than he would like due to lack of protection. The running game has slowed because of the same reason, the line isn't opening any running lanes.

Big advantage to the Patriots. Manning doesn't play well in winter conditions.
