    I don't see how the Packers wont win the division every team has issues but only one has Rodgers. Once they get to the playoffs and have to deal with other great QB's and great defenses I think they will be in trouble.

    How bout them COWBOYS!!!! For real finally? Ehhhhh I still have a tough time buying it with Romo and Garett. I don't know how the defense is playing pretty good, but I'll take it so far. Demarco Murray is in beast mode. Hope he stays healthy and gets some velcro for his hands. But 4-2 after Seattle this week is a promising start.

    The Seahawks didn't exactly shine last night against Washington, I was expecting a blowout. It did prove they are beatable and if the Cowboys keep playing the way they have then they may surprise people with the upset.

    Seattle doesnt play as well on the road. Everyone knows that.

    As for the Cowboys...the ship is sailing well. Lets hope it doesnt sink when Murray inevitably gets injured.

    The Patriots will stumble again next week.

    As for the Packers...its looking like 11-5 with the division crown (Detroit gets wildcard) and a tough matchup on the road against San Fran again.

    I came into this season cautiously optimistic about the Vikings. I now know that was misled, what a joke.

    I wasn't sure what to expect or think. Their defense has been good though but man that offensive line sucks. Honestly I think that o-line is way overrated. They've sucked since Favre played here. Peterson just made them look that good but it was all Peterson in my opinion.

    It is funny listening to sports talk radio this morning with fans ripping their team. The Vikings went up against one of the top defensive teams in the NFL, what did they think was going to happen?

    Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders cancelled Sundays practice to bring his players to the Vikings game.

    Evidently he wanted his team to watch another team that specializes in 3 pointers:)

    Rodgers rodged. They are stating to play a more complete game, especially on defense. Still some areas to fix though.

    Packers will be fine the division is there for their taking, Vikings suck, lions are the lions and the bears find a new way to suck every week

    It just got real for the Cowboys. BIG win @ Seattle! Aside from basically handing them 17 points (which they need to clean up) the absolutely beat the snot out of them on both sides of the ball. I was very reluctant to "believe" just because its' the Cowboys that have a playoff win in 17 years and history of finding a way to screw up a free meal. But this team is different. They have more toughness, confidence and swag. The formula and talent are vaguely familiar to the 90's teams. Great RB, Offensive line, stud WR, solid TE, role players, ** I wont even compare Romo to Aikman** and defense for some reason.... somehow playing good.

    Both Shields and Williams both appear to be OK. Both may play next week depending on how fast they heal. Very good news.

    I didn't have high expectations going into the season, that is for sure. However, after 6 weeks.... I'm cautiously optimistic.

    I like the Green Bays defense better when Brad Jones is not in the game. The next positive play he makes will be his first.

    Breaking news.

    The Rams still suck.

    That is all.
