Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Week 3 NFL Open Thread: Non-Bears Edition

MINNEAPOLIS - SEPTEMBER 19:  Quarterback Brett Favre #4 of the Minnesota Vikings walks off the field after failing to make a first down during the second half of the game against the Miami Dolphins on September 19 2010 at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis Minnesota.  (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)

Tomorrow's Monday Night Football game can't seem to get here fast enough, but while we wait, here are a few key games being played today around the league:

NFC North-

Lions @ Vikings:  The state of Minnesota is already on high alert after not only starting the season 0-2, but doing so in a very sloppy fashion.  The offense has been nonexistent, and Brett Favre and Company look to be nowhere near the dominating offense they were last year.  As for the Lions, they certainly are a much-improved football team, but are also very banged up at the moment.  Matt Stafford is still out with JPepp Disorder, and their laundry list of injuries is not very encouraging.  As much as I would love to see the 0-2 Lions go into the Vikings home stadium and knock the Purple People around, the edge would have to go to the Vikings in this game.  Doesn't mean we can't root for the Lions though.

More games to watch for after the jump.

Star-divide

Titans @ Giants: Why is this a notable game? Because the Giants are the Bears next-next opponent, and we aren't quite sure yet of the type of team the Giants have.  They beat the Panthers considerably in Week 1, then lost to the Colts considerably in Week 2.  Today will be a good litmus test of our Week 4 opponent.

Dallas @ Houston:  If ever there was a reason to expect a high-scoring, pass-heavy game, this is it.  The Cowboys look to rebound from two straight losses to open the season, and the Texans hope to keep making believers of the NFL by notching win #3.  Expect both Tony Romo and Matt Shaub to pass for 1,000 yards each, and for 200 points to be scored in this game.

49ers @ Chiefs: Despite taking his winless Niners into KC to battle the undefeated Chiefs, we might see Mike Singletary's head officially explode if they aren't able to notch win #1 against a not-very-good  better-than-I-thought-they-were football team.

Other notable games on the docket:

Atlanta @ New Orleans

Indianapolis @ Denver

Jets @ Dolphins

------------

Here's a fantastic link to the guys at the the506, the absolute best place to find tv maps we've ever seen. Find out what's playing where...if you're not fortunate enough to have "The Ticket."

What will your Sunday look like today?  WIll you be focused heavily on your fantasy team?  WIll you even watch football today?

Regardless, we can't have a Football Sunday without an Open Thread to talk smack about other teams, and to chat about the goings on in the NFL.

So, here ya go... have fun!

I feel like the Lions have taken a pretty big step forward

By next year they might be a fairly respectable team. I have too much lingering hostility towards Favre and the Vikings to ever root for them. Maybe, MAYBE if they were playing Al-Qaeda, I could back them up.

I have an idea for a book, that’s all just pics of Favre getting sacked, or intercepted called, “When Bad Things Happen to Brett Favre.”

It's to bad Minnesota

isn’t playing just about anybody besides the Lions today, they’d have a real shot at going 3-0. I dont have the “ticket” and I live inside the blackout area for the Buc’s game, no Bears to listen to online @ 780, haven’t checked yet to see what early game I’ll be getting but whatever it is it beats mowing the lawn. Could head down the VFW, got the “ticket” there and my favorite “barley pop”. There’s an idea!! It’s Football Sunday,….." I must be in heaven man!!!!"…..

After the joke that was

the “all eggs in one basket” off-season, the Vikes deserve exactly what they’re getting this year.

Sure, there’s a chance that they can win today and it’ll spur a turn-around for them, but there were 31 NFL teams out there training and working, and there was one begging and pleading.

Question: Which 0-2 team will win this week?

Dallas
Buffalo
Minnesota
Cleveland
Carolina
Detroit
St. Louis

These six teams are 0-2 going into week 3.

Minnesota plays the also “defeated” Lions today in Minnesota. Cincy plays carolina IN Carolina. Dallas goes to Houston to take on the undefeated (and VERY explosive) Texans. Cleveland takes on the Ravens…

… And the Rams take on the Redskins.

Who will get the win this week in some VERY hard to predict games this week?

Good thing too.

Corollary: When people are visiting your house and behaving themselves, them being a fan of a different team is NOT a reason for you to piss in their beer.

All-veteran closed meeting in Minnesota?

Heard Chilly dropped the bomb on the vets that most of the players will NOT be brought back next year.

I did not think about the dismantling of the team just yet, but when you look at some of the ages on the players— I guess that could be right.

Was that a good move? Will it fire them up?

Gotta like the meeting chilly

called with the vets (which a couple of vets called awkward) before the game telling them they have to win now because most will not be back next season……

Curious way to motivate the troops

Chilly is just not a good coach.

That's really the main thing it comes down to.

When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.

Corollary: When people are visiting your house and behaving themselves, them being a fan of a different team is NOT a reason for you to piss in their beer.

I know

it’s ugly..

Both teams suck this year.

I was fortunately (sarcasm lasers set to kill) blessed with the Giants/Titans game. It was horrible. Eli Manning is the most overpayed/over-rated piece of crap i have ever seen

The Colts tackling is the worst I've seen this year

Orton also getting amazing protection.

This Denver game is the prime example

that stats aren’t everything because Orton looks like every bit of a game manager in this game, incapable of being the reason they win a game.

Yeah but it worked!

by Dils on Sep 26, 2010 5:58 PM CDT reply actions  

Yep

His yardage totals are the direct result of the Colts terrible tackling and lack of any pressure whatsoever. Orton has time to make sandwich back there.

I had a free preview of NFL Red Zone today

And I watched the late games. I saw a lot of incredibly sloppy football. I hear tons of guys pissing and moaning about the Bears, but they’re a lot more disciplined than the games I saw today.

I can not believe that Janikowski missed that kick.

Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
