NFL Game of the Week - Week 1

[89Hen]

Why not?

[ODUalum11]

Packers-Saints DUH!!!!!

Packers-Saints DUH!!!!!

If we were voting on first game of the week.

[ODUalum11]

Pittsburgh at Baltimore isn't a big deal to me, both teams will make the playoffs. Both the Giants and Redskins will be mediocre this year (I'm a Giants fan btw. ) Whats so appealing about Atl-Chi, Tennessee-Jacksonville, and Oakland-Denver? 4 of those 6 teams will most likely not make the playoffs. New England will rout Miami. Minnesota-SD isn't a big deal to me. Dallas-Jets, MAYBE. Colts-Texans...hmmm, it will be interesting to see somebody start at QB who isn't name Peyton Manning for the Colts.

Saints-Packers for me because they are the last two SB champions, season opener, two of the best head coaches and quarterbacks in the NFL plus a couple of pretty good offenses. This game gets my vote.

I'm not so sure about that. Pats, Jets, Steelers, Ravens, Colts, Texans... one of those teams is going to be on the outside looking in. I'd say Packers and Saints are a FARRRRRRRRRRRRR bigger lock to both make the playoffs.

The pure hatred between the Ravens and Steelers, and the fact that it seems like every game they play comes down to the wire, makes them my choice.

I agree, if it was any other week they'd have my vote but I gotta give Pack-Saints the edge just because its the season opener.

[Gil Dobie]

I only watch Packers games, so the choice is obvious.

[93henfan]

No-brainer: Stillers at Ballamer

[grizzaholic]

No-brainer: Stillers at Ballamer

Yes. It seems like the only logical choice.

[Ivytalk]

Saints-Packers: The Obama Invitational!

[BlueHen86]

No-brainer: Stillers at Ballamer

Same here. Division battle between two hard hitting teams that don't like each other. Playoff seeding implications as well.

[Gil Dobie]

Well, the NFL is over for the week, should be a relaxing weekend.

so much for Ravens-Steelers being game of the week. Games of the week so far had to be Saints-Packers, Cowboys-Jets.

[CatMom]

Best game Packers-Saints

Most fun to watch Jets-Cowboys

Not a Jets fan but anytime Dallas losses is a fun game to me.

Yeah, the Steelers had no chance with that big gangly QB from Baltimore throwing those three beautiful touchdown passes.

I enjoyed the hell out of the Ravens-Steelers game. I was flipping between the Eagles game.

I must have missed it. Did the Redskins win a championship of some sort yesterday? I've never seen so many bergundy car flags and people violating the dress code with ugly jerseys in my life as I did today. WTF?

Shit, I forgot to warn you about that. You aint seen nothing yet, wait until they beat the Cardinals next week. It will be full blown Super Bowl mode around here. Happens pretty much every year.

Really started in earnest when they hired Spurrier. They thought he was a offensive genius and was going to lead the team back to the promised land. Of course no Redskins fans will admit to being on his bandwagon, but as an outsider here I could see it plain as day. They threw him under the bus QUICKLY as being just a college coach. Then it was Gibbs 2.0. This town was on cloud nine when they announced that one. Took all of a few weeks for people to start saying he was too old and the game passed him by. Then it was McNabb. Oh boy, here we go. As an Eagles fan I laughed my ass off. They didn't realize that the Eagles won with Garcia, Kolb, Detmer, Feeley... it wasn't really McNabb. It really is a lot of fun to see the torture the Skins fans go through every year. By week 10 they will be pissed off, yelling at me about "how many rings do the Eagles have?" and by week 13 it will be complete disinterest. People won't be able to give their tix away.

Couple of other things I learned yesterday:

Traveling on the beltway is a breeze during Redskins games. I left Delaware right after the Eagles game and got to Germantown in two hours.

Sonny Jurgensen and Sam Huff are nauseating to listen to on the radio. Sam Huff was livid after the Skins scored a touchdown because the player spiked the ball. The play by play man was trying to convey excitement but Huff was giving an impromptu lecture on the modern-day football player. Then at the end of the game, Eagle-hater Jurgensen had to get his usual cheap digs in. He mentioned that there were fewer blue jerseys than normal and that the Giants fans were very well behaved, "unlike that crew that'll be down here in a few weeks in green with the low IQs".

Yeah, suck my left nut Sonny.

BLASPHEMER!!!!
Sonny and Sam are GODS!

You'll enjoy it when the season wears on and the depression begins.
Washington lives and dies with the Skins every week. It's a horrible existance.

Can't agree with that at all. They are the hometown crew. I want them to be homers. I'd MUCH rather listen to them do the game than the Fox crew.

I love him, but Sam is getting old. Starting to sound a bit like Summerall.

At one point Aikman was like "Man, this redskins defense is reall playing well." 5-6 seconds of silence and Buck goe s"Is' that it, your professional analysis?" And enough already about the Giants dessimated defense. They Skins had 3 guusy out too.

I'm beinging to think Trent Williams is going to be a bust.

It'll go from a 93 nightmare to a 93 fantasy land.

I have the same reaction listening to 610 up at the beach in Jersey. There is no better listening to Philly fans calling in when the teams Phillies or Eagles are losing or better yet, just mediocre..

Could be. I seem to recall the Cards beating the Skins several times recently in dramatic fashion, no?
