Turned out to be a great game!
Gosh darn spread, though.

I am worried about this Monday night game. I think it will show how our season will go. I don't see any reason why we couldn't win the NFC North now if we can beat the 49ers convincingly on the road. I wasn't impressed by any NFC North team yesterday.

Of course, that could all just be first game rust and all that. But the Bears are still the Bears, the Packers were flat and got dominated on the ground and the Lions coughed up almost 500 yards in a game where they lost an 18 point lead. Their defense might actually be really bad this year.

I saw the same things you saw, but I wouldn't put too much stock into it quite yet. The Lions looked really good for a while, so I want to see which team they really are. The Bears still have a lot of adjustments they need to make and had Jeffrey on a pitch count. The Packers seem to always start slow. I hope the other teams all look like they did yesterday, but I just don't think that's likely.

Julio Jones is the best WR in the game.

Bradford gets his shot to put some legitmacy to all the unwarranted Eagles hype, right here.

Im at BWW and the crowd went crazy here. I don't even think it's Falcons fans...I think it's Rams fans looking for validation in moving on from Bradford.

Hell I thought the Rams made off in that trade. Eagles should be the ones looking for validation, if anything.

I'd just like to apologize for cursing the team. I'll take the blame for this loss

Lol you aren't always so snarky when somebody disagrees with your opinion on a Football Message Board, are you?
