I'm a Jets fan and you can't possibly tell me the Pats Jets game was exciting or the Bengals game. The Bucs game . I also wouldn't classify the Bills game as exciting either. I'll give you the ATL game... So that's what 2/6.


Many of those games were littered with sloppy play...

I thought the Jets Titans game was exciting.. I haven't laughed during a football like that in a very long time..

I think Atlanta wins the exciting game award. 4/5.

What does this have to do with anything other than your unfulfilled need to constantly put the Jets down for God knows what reason. Did Vinny Testaverde steal your lunch money one day. Did Ray Lucas bang your mom in the back of your mini van? Or did Curtis Martin diss you at work one day?

I love Vinny, mad respect for him, when I was in High School a kid in our grade uncle was Vinny and he got paralyzed at a pool party in the summer.. very sad.. long story short when we were at the hospital Vinny and other Jets were there supporting him. It was nice talking to good ole VT

No dispute there. All good games. Too bad that D has more holes than a slice of swiss cheese. BTW when is Roddy going to get healthy? He's keeping me from 1st place in one of my leagues .

Well what makes a game exciting for you?

Bills game ended with a make it you win miss it you lose field goal. Jets game made every defensive stop count. Bengals game had my attention the whole way. Sloppy plays don't necessitate lack of excitement imo. Far as I'm concerned, only Patriots game that wasn't at all interesting beyond the 3rd quarter was against the Bucs. Maybe it's because I never underestimate a team

Hopefully next week. This week might be rough without Julio or Roddy, but hopefully SJax and the backup WRs can do something (cause god knows Tony G is gonna be double and triple covered)

Broncos Cowboys would fall under the category of exciting. Bengals Pats would not. Nor would the Jets Pats game, which was the epitome of a sloppy game.

Roddy was reported to be limping in the locker room. Not sure if he'll ever get healthy this year. Douglas needs to step up big time.

He's got a hamstring issue. Expected to miss this week and be back next.

I hear Jackson isn't supposed to be back until next week as well. Rodgers has done a decent job in his absence.

So high scores, lead changes, fake out plays, big passes? That's your thing, cool. Those are some of my things too, but far from my only things.

Broncos Cowboys wasn't a football game: it was a basketball game. 99 points

[walruswarrior]

Matt Flynn signed with the Bills.

He's got a Miles Austin.

And all the laughter better have been directed toward the Jets. We're the best 3-3 team in the league right now, and it pisses me off that's our record after all these hard fought games. I didn't expect to beat KC, SEA, or SF with Fitzpatrick anyways, but we should've beaten KC and would have with Locker. I tried telling you that pass he threw to Nate in the Jets game was garbage - he did the same exact crap to Nate against the Seahawks, but Sherman took care of business. Fitz has been nothing short of atrocious, as I expected.

You guys remember when I said the Titans would be contending for the AFC South and that Gregg Williams/Pollard would make a huge difference on our defense? Hmmm... yea, I wasn't being a homer. I specifically remember you saying we'd be in the mix for Clowney! LOL!!!!

But holy hell, I was wrong about CJ and the running game. It's not even CJ's fault. I know if you own him in FF, you'd think he's pure garbage... Nope. Our OL still is. Bruce Matthews (OL Coach) and Rob Turner (worst center in the league) are to blame. There is nowhere for CJ to go - ever. Our play calling isn't helping him either. I swear we are coached by 3rd graders. Goal line situation and CJ is not on the field. Umm... You can put Jackie Battle in at fullback and CJ at halfback and at least try to confuse defenses a bit. Having Battle alone back there means one thing - run up the gut. It's a different story if Locker is playing because we can PA bootleg. We never run CJ off our tackles, and I have no clue why not. We need better scheme blocking. Bruce Matthews, leave now. You're an Oilers/Titans legend, but you can't coach. We need Shonn Greene back because he'll actually be able to get the tough yards behind this crap line.

Warmack has been disappointing too, but he'll get better. Levitre has been a total waste of money so far.

Would be nice to get a W against SF, but I won't hold my breath... Mostly worried about Kaepernick beating us with his legs (we gave up multiple third downs to Wilson on the ground because we didn't properly plan for him) and Vernon Davis. Our defense will keep us in this game. Our offense is a joke though, and it'll need to do something to come away with a W. We need it badly.

Either way, the Colts play the Broncos, so they should help us again. The AFC South was 0-4 this week and it'll probably be 0-4 next week. After our bye, our schedule opens up and we'll roll.

Colts suck, so I'm not too worried about it. We'll sweep them and win the division. You can quote me on that.

Anyone who thinks Andrew Luck is as good as ESPN doesn't watch him play games. They just get brainwashed by the ESPN crew and NFL fans. As I've said before, if Luck is a god and Locker is horribly inaccurate, why does Locker have a better completion percentage, higher attempt per pass, and a higher passer rating than Luck? ESPN can suck a wang.

SO sloppy defense makes a great game???

Or you can view it as high powered offenses putting up numbers like crazy, the tension of the lead going back and forth, and the excitement who will in the end put up enough points to win the game. But sure a game like that is not great

But no one said anything about a great game. We are speaking in terms of excitement and a game like that generates a lot of chatter and a great buzz. So in your opinion a game like that does not generate an interest in the game?
