Wow did the Chargers choke or what? What was it? 4 turnovers in the second half.

This just in the AFC stinks. Only two teams in the entire conference having winning records. One of them just got blown out and the other just lost two key defensive starters for the season.

We got the chokeland raiders and San Diego Chokers all in one division. At least I can say my QB did not do most of Denver's turnovers. Fumbles have killed the Broncos.

Good for me bad for you as rival NFC teams won. I forgot who you got nest AMP isn't it on of those great NFC teams?


It's the mighty Detroit Lions.  Oh wait!  They have a losing record, don't they?  They have been losing to NFC teams though.

From what I recall they have had loses to the blown out 49ers, the super average Titans, and the increadible Vikings. Vickings are the next big thing I must say.

That's right.  They lost to the Titans.  This must mean that the Lions are pretty lousy if that happened.  I mean that means that they're as bad as the Steelers or something like that.

It really is a shame the Steelers have gone from NFL favorite to laughing stock of the league. I actually never liked the Lions because they are so horrible all the time. Might be a good game to watch for the physical battles that are bound to happen. Good luck. I am tired of seeing the Packers up top.

The problem with the Lions is that they play so dirty that you just hope to get out of the game with your roster intact.  I have my fingers crossed.

Barnwell has his rankings up after that horrible week. I'm not sure if I agree with his number one pick...

Peyton Manning topped his last greatest comeback in history..

Let's allocate credit properly, shall we? Peyton's second-half performance was much improved, but the victory goes primarily to the defense and its six forced turnovers (two returned for touchdowns). Peyton's had much better comebacks.

Tis true, the broncos defense did well the whole game as 10 of the points were given off fumbles within San Diego's 30th yard line and 7 more were made off Peyton's only interception that was returned for a touchdown. The Broncos defense was actually quite the monster. It would be impossible to win from behind such a margin without almost perfect defense. Great game by the Defense and great game by Manning. Media will push Manning for this win more because they are in love with him. I mean the guy came back from a fractured neck bone and has done well. Who cannot respect that?

@Rol You missed a rare game than if you slept through it. This kind of thing rarely happens. Actually only once last year.

I fully agree with #1. Bears are so badass that they can secure the #1 spot in the division on a bye week.

GB loss was a result of a bad start of the game and a terrible performance by a frustrated Cutler. As long as they remain healthy and Cutler keeps his head in the game, they will do well. They have a top of the league defense and special teams. They have a quality offense when healthy and mentally in the game.

I've also heard people saying (not in this thread) Bears have an easy schedule for rest of season... wtf seriously?

Det (hard)
Car (easy)
@Tenn (easy-med) (7-1)
Hou (hard)
@SF (hard)
Minn (hard)
Sea (med)
@Minn (hard)
GB (hard)
@Ariz (hard)
@Det (hard) (13-3?)

Thats a rough schedule by any estimation. I see 1/2 easy, 1/2 med, and 8 hard. However, staying healthy could result in a 13-3 to 11-5 type of season.
