NFL Week 4 Open Thread- Countdown to Bears at Giants

Early Games
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers
Denver Broncos at Tennessee Titans
Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers
San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints
Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams

 

Since the Bears won't be playing until this evening, feel free to congregate here all day, until your first quarter thread goes up at 7:20pm ET (6:20pm CT). TV Maps HERE. Late games and some thoughts after the jump.

Star-divide

Late Games
Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars
Houston Texans at Oakland Raiders
Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles
Arizona Cardinals at San Diego Chargers

 

Jets at Bills - This one should, theoretically, go easily to the Jets. That team, however, seems like it might choose this week to roll over to a not good Bills team.

Bengals at Browns - If you drive NE on Interstate 71 from Cincinnati, you get to Cleveland. I went to Cleveland once, and the entire downtown area smelled.  That said, Cincinnati's passing attack is going to open up this week, but they'll give up some rushing yards. Cincinnati wins, but it's closer than you thought.

Ravens at Steelers - This should be a good game, and if it's on in your area, should be quite the watch. We'll see if Harbaugh and the Ravens can figure out that fierce Steelers D.

Broncos at Titans - The Broncos are ranked 10th in Run defense. The Titans are ranked 8th in Rushing. Orton will have 250+ yards and 2+ TDs.  Write it down.

Lions at Packers - I would love to say the Lions win this one, but with Best's foot injury, and Stafford still out, I can't help but think that the Packers win by two touchdowns.

49ers at Falcons - The 49ers have given up 87 points so far this season (That's nearly 30/game for you counting at home.) That ties them with the Buffalo Bills for most in the league. Singletary's probably in his last season now, and I think that's probably good for him. He seems better suited to get into a coordinator position.

Panthers at Saints - Rookie QB? Saints defense that certain other SB fanbases insist is dirty and steals games? They should be teeing off on the Panthers O early and often. Same time, don't expect a blowout, the Saints always seem to play down to their opponents. (See: The 49ers Game)

Colts at Jaguars - I'm not sure a comment is even really required for this.

Texans at Raiders - The Texans are the only team with a positive record that has a negative point differential (-1). Look for them to change that this afternoon against a Raiders team that still doesn't have the guidance they need. 

Redskins at Eagles - McNabb returns to Philly to take on the team that traded him to a divisional rival for some beans. He'll be hungry for blood, but the athleticism of Michael Vick will cause some nightmares for the Redskins. Look for an Eagles victory (though I'd prefer it go to Donovan.)

Cardinals at Chargers - The Cardinals aren't the Cardinals of the past couple years. The Chargers need to show that they're still very much in play for the AFC West. I mean, the Chiefs can't be for real... can they?

What say you? Enjoy the games, kids!

If the Bears offense is still learning and they keep winning anyway. What will happen when they do figure it out?

That was my concern

I hate sitting through all the NBC nonsense, but also hate thinking its a certain time and find I ’ve missed half the first quarter. But thats happening less and less the more time I spend on WCG.

nothing wrong with making sure

and yeah here at WCG, we are here for each other man. always here.. always.. always.

No

they’re usually pretty good about 7:20 kickoff.

Just know that Ch 5 has what is likely the WORST pregame show in the history of TV. Harrison and Dungy are not good. Its better now that Olbermann is gone, but still darn near insufferable.

pregames are all pretty bad

the only pregame i can generally deal with is fox’s with bradshaw, long and all. But yeah olby sucked pretty hard. And Dungy is just marginally better

But, I like Fox. Other than Calliendo, its fun and lighthearted. Plus, I don’t have to change the channel b/c Fox carries the bulk of the Bears games.

Vick getting hurt was karma...

The Eagles deserve to have to play with the guy they thought was better than McNabb. Here Kolb is playing against one of the worst secondaries in Football and he can’t connect. He sucks.

One more thing about that Jags/Colts game

It proves why the Bears aren’t “lucky”. Both teams had a chance to get INTs that would of won them the game and neither converted. So when DJ Moore gets 2 picks against Dallas it isn’t luck. When Urlacher creates a fumble it isn’t luck. It’s opportunities that are converted! OK I’m done venting.

Yeah but it worked!

I agree wholeheartedly. Luck isn’t a factor imo, playing the best game you can is all that matters. It just turns out that the Bears can capitalize on turnovers.

Yep

They got what they deserved. Their fans did too. Even though McNabb played for the Eagles, he’s still a Chicago guy and I never appreciated the way they treated him. Vick bailed them out this season so they finally got to see what they have in Kolb…Nothing.

rememeber the era before the NFL had guaranteed money

I kinda see what the owners are talking about, Haynesworth, Jamarcus Russell, not sure if Jacobs fits that category but heck, get out there and play. Your making more money than most people see in a lifetime, have some respect for the fans who pay your salary.
