Week 8 Discussion Thread

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

So we kick it all off with the Bucs at the Vikes tonight.

Seeming as we have a large Bucs contingent, you confident?

[crazy_dave23]

I'm betting squarely on the Vikes...
so many home teams win these TNF games.

[crazy_dave23]

Im also looking forward to seeing the Steelers recast as Bumblebee's this weekend... check it out

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I am going Bucs Dave. Dunno why, just have a hunch.

As for Steelers as bumblebee's, wtf?

Good god almighty

[Pr4wn]

Doug Martin is a beast. Ronde's still got it.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Remember the games kick off an hour earlier this week people

[BamBam]

Clash with the Utd-Chelsea game .. doh

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Pats are balling at the minute. 21-7, three straight TD drives!

Gronk with over 100 yards and a TD already. He is such a beast

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

And Gronk marched like a soldier before his spike

What a lad

[Colan (niner)]

what a catch for a td by Kendall Wright, people have to start realising that the Titans have one of the best offenses in the NFL

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Could Aaron Rodgers start playing football please. You are playing Jacksonville remember, PUT UP SOME GODDAMN FANTASY POINTS

[Bull]

Cutler pick you weight and get some points on the board ! Your playing against the panthers !!

[Bull]

Bears edge the win

but Stafford gets me 31 points in fantasy league but to bad he was on the bench as i started cutler!

[Colan (niner)]

hard enough to win an NFL game without bs calls. I like Andrew Luck and what he had done for the colts but the refs are a big reason the Titans were beat there. I've never seen such lopsided PI calls and missed roughing the passer in my lfe. Oh, and it was a fumble! Easy FG and game was in the bag

[GSC]

Feels like the end of the Reid era. Mentally checked out of this season at this point.

[GSC]

Well at least we arent the Cowboys

[Take it to the house]

Wow, Romo and the Cowboys are playing really well!

[Breadvan]

Romo having a absolute shocker. 3 ints and the G men 23 -0 up...

[adams_legend]

Finally got to see the rams and they didn't bother turning up on the pitch.

Was sitting next to a cowboys fan who was going on about how good Romo is, as least that score line has put a smile back on my face

[Take it to the house]

Well this game is turning right round!

[CFCNick]

Balls!!!

[Take it to the house]

What a crazy finish!

[GSC]

Sounding very much like its Nick Foles time in Philly

[GSC]

And by extension LeSean McCoy time

[Derbyblue]

2-6.

[crazy_dave23]

It's not critical importance... but during Week 8... I met Mike Carlson

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Is he as much of a legend in real life as he is on the telly?

I'm actually really jealous of that Dave

He just is a legend. Was just casually walking around the tailgate party by himself constantly getting stopped and asked for a picture or to shake his hand (one of whom was me). Just doing that makes him a legend

He seems like a top bloke in general. Always replying to fans on twitter. I love that he works for like all the major broadcasting companies over here

Right hand blue

Dez loses

[GSC]

Wait what.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

What time is kick off tonight? Is it 12:30 or 1:30?

[Colan (niner)]

Absolute dominance from the 49ers. Alex was 18 of 19 for 3 td's and the one drop was a bad drop from a good throw. Add in over 100 yards rushing, plenty of sacks, the D-Line Smith's crushing people and it was a great game. Oh and people must check out the biggest hit of the season, Goldson on Doucet. After their wee fight last year, Goldson has shown him. Crabtree once again destroyed pp7 or pp21 (I still see him at LSU), overrated corner

[Colan (niner)]

hopefully everyone recognised how god a young corner Chris Culliver is, bar one game this season, he is only giving up 12 yards a game. Like Peterson, a big corner with elite speed but he copes so well with the bigger receivers. Will replace Rogers as number one corner eventually and won't be surprised to see him talked about as a top five NFL CB in a few years

[GSC]

Carl Nicks is done for the season with a toe injury

[Derbyblue]

@ESPNStatsInfo
Buccaneers lose left guard Carl Nicks to injury. Doug Martin has averaged 4.5 yards/carry running left this season(4.4 up middle, 3.2 right)
Will be a big loss for them for rest of the season.

[GSC]

49ers apparently asking the NFL to review whether a Crabtree lateral was actually a forward pass so Alex Smith can have the single game accuracy record.

I've just watched a video of the pass a few times and not convinced.

[GSC]

I'd say no just on the basis on Alex Smith replacing Kurt Warner in a record book
