Now the Bengals have lost two people from their roster. Talk about a team that got cursed this year. They will win the division and maybe even the Super Bowl, but it reminds me of the year Indy won the Super Bowl and had their memorable season upsetting teams right and left, right after Coach Dungy's son committed suicide.
This type of story is sad for both the player and his fiancee.
I am from Cincinnati (my username makes that pretty obvious) and it is pretty sad to see Chris leave the world like this.
Obviously Henry didn't lead the model life, but I don't see why that matters now. Alot of people I've talked to in Cincinnati are trying to be witty and make comments about his past and how its not that big of a deal that he is dead, because he was just another criminal
I am pretty down about this. Having never met the guy, he seemed like he was a nice guy. He had an amazing amount of talent that was rarely shown. The Bengals nation is mourning the loss of a great person and football player.
RIP Slim

It's a shame. I had the chance to meet Chris Henry last summer. (Saw him downtown). From what I could tell, he was a nice guy. His records disagree...
Colts go 14-0!!
Chance to win $400 riding on tomorrow's games. Hardest matchup of the season in Fantasy playoff semifinals. Pretty much if I win tomorrow I can count on the cash.
Having a lot of trouble deciding between starting Favre, Rivers or Eli Manning. Favre is looking worn down and Eli was on fire last week, but every time I bench Favre he puts up huge numbers. Gahhh. Tomorrow I'll either be glued to the TV or forcing myself not to watch.

Yep NFL Network.
Watching it now, and thankful that the Cowboys aren't embarrassing themselves. Quite the contrary now, but the game is far from over so I'm keeping my mouth shut.

17-3 at the half and really no need for the win, and everything to lose if key injuries happen. I think NO won't win, even with their best effort in the final two quarters.
The smart thing for NO would be to rest the key players. I would much rather win the Super Bowl because my first team was rested and healthy than go 16-0 hobbling, bruised, and sprained into the playoffs like the Patriots did. People only remember who won the Super Bowl, not if your team was "perfect" in the regular season, and less than perfect after.
And I hope Indy stays healthy as they have even less reason for the final two wins having wrapped up their division (like NO), and wrapped up home field advantage.
I can see, on the other hand, how a team who has no Super Bowl wins would want to make a big statement and win every game in the regular season, and take the Super Bowl, too like the perfect Dolphins many years ago.
Pretty bad. Maybe they really played it on Thursday night, with Dallas winning it by three touchdowns, and didn't want to show the rest of the country how bad NO can be.
Who Dat Cowboys!!!
Definitely need a new FG kicker.
Down with dem Saints.. Ha...... My Boys pulled one out!!! We won in December too!!!! HECK YEAH...
Oh do we need a FG kicker. This guy needs to be dumped and dumped soon!
I had to "watch" the game on GameChannel, since I don't have the NFL Network (and wouldn't pay for it anyway to watch football games...what a ripoff). I saw Dallas was about to get a TD to wrap up the game, but then they got stopped, so the EASY field goal would pretty much wrap up them game too. Then I saw he'd missed it!!! Drew Brees with 2 minutes to score, when he's already scored 2 TD's in the last quarter (what was up with that?). Anyway, the D came through. Hopefully, Dallas can turn this around now and get to the playoffs and win at least one game there.
I couldn't agree more!!!!! Let's hope they don't choke against the Redskins or Eagles..... Ughhh the irony. Beat one of the best teams and then loose to either of these teams......
The Chargers are going to stomp the Bengals tomorrow. They will be 11-3 and moving along nicely to clench the AFC West!

That's a really hard call. The Bengals want to clinch already which they failed to do last week. It's not often you get two chances to clinch your division and you blow both opportunities. But if the Chargers win and even get eventually get a 1st week bye, they will have to contend with Indy, most likely, en route to the Super Bowl. Indy also has home field advantage, so if they are smart, they can rest key starters. As long as they practice, they will be just as dangerous, and rested. It's looking more and more like Indy's Super Bowl to lose. But maybe the Saints just had an off night.
I feel much better for any team who will be struggling in the playoffs in the NFC. Last night showed just how bad the Saints could be, and it's unlikely Indy has any of those same weaknesses. It looked as if there were impostors in the Saints uniforms.
What I find interesting are teams on the very fringes of the wild card like the Steelers, 49ers, and Ravens. While I don't expect miracles, it would be fun to see a wild card team do well, especially the 49ers who are starting to click. I still only hope for 8-8 for the Niners as they are rebuilding. But I expect winning seasons for the Niners in future seasons since I like their coach. As far as the other bay area team, they may have to start from scratch.
Chargers have owned the Colts the last several years,regular and post season. They're the one team in the AFC that can match up against them. They've got big physical receivers and Gates at TE. Both the Charger's lines are big and physical as well as quick.Wouldn't surprise me in the least if the Chargers take the AFC...
PI calls vary week to week and game to game..It's ruining the NFL,IMO..
They really only need to win one of those to get to the playoffs as a wild card. If they win both, they get home field in the first week.
If there's one team in all of the NFL that scare me as a die-hard Colts fan, it's the Chargers. Luckily we'll likely not see them until late since they clenched the number two seed, but still...if we lose to them again...
Nonetheless. I <3 the Colts. A perfect season is not what Caldwell or Irsay care about anyhow...hoisting the Lombardi again is
But don't get me wrong; 19-0 would be a dream come true If there's one team in all of the NFL that scare me as a die-hard Colts fan, it's the Chargers. Luckily we'll likely not see them until late since they clenched the number two seed, but still...if we lose to them again...

Just like I called it. 11-3!
Go Chargers!
