Wes Welker looks like a pop warner player in that helmet.
 
Good result for SF. Can't wait for next weekend. That'll be a great game up in Seattle.

49ers v Seahawks should be a fun one to watch.

I'm rooting for the Seahawks after the way the 49'ers and their coach acted today (and often act). I think they lack class. A team of that quality should set a better example of sportsmanship.

Um...Pete Carroll and the Seahawks don't act any different.

Um have you watched Seattle Lmao
 
I like some attitude showing in football games, teams at this point SHOULD have chips on their shoulders.

Yeah, I know. Seattle is bad in that area also, particularly on their defense. I just think SF is worse. It's the lesser of two evils, IMHO.

I have never rooted for the Patriots in any playoff game or Super Bowl, but if they get in, I'll root for them against either SF or Seattle.

I'm not totally against the chip on the shoulder attitude, but I think one can have that and internalize it to some extent, and still act with a bit of class or sportsmanship. I think it is possible to play tough and hard, and still show respect to one's opponent. But then, the lack of respect for others is a symptom of our world today, and to a large extent, football just reflects that.

You can still respect your opponent and talk trash to them. Heck I do it all the time when I'm playing golf with my friends. Something to watch is after the game almost every player shakes hands and talks with the other team. Football is a very high adrenaline sport where emotions and actions can get exaggerated in the heat of the moment.

I guess each person is going to view it differently though.

I agree with this 100%. Nothing wrong with talking some smack, nothing excessive, but everyone wants to win and there is nothing wrong with trying to throw your opponents off. At the end of the day though it's still a game and passion you share with every other player and there is no reason to disrespect them after the game is over. Shake hands and tell them good game.
 
Let's go Chargers!

Not sure this one is even going to be close. If you took the chargers and points I am thinking you just lost some money.
 
Pats vs Denver and Sea vs SF will be a great Sunday
 
Good call. Not enough to overturn. They need to capitalize on it though.
 
Lets Go Broncos!!!
 
Moreno is running the ball today like somebody kicked his dog.
 
If Denver keeps this running game they are going to be incredibly hard to beat.
 
Hated that he tripped, that one was gone as he had caught up with an escort.
 
Had to laugh at Decker there. Great return only to end by tripping yourself to the ground.
 
What a pick! Game-saving....for now.
 
Heads up play and got both toes down. They sure needed that.
