The NFL has given us a schedule of brilliant ‘rivalries’ this week. First up, on TNF, we have a battle of the birds: The Seattle Seahawks make the short flight to the Arizona Cardinals in this all NFC West matchup (01:25 Fri – Sky Sports). On Sunday evening the battle of the big cats sees the Cincinnati Bengals hosted by the Detroit Lions (18:00 Sun – Sky Sports). Next the freefalling Houston Texans tackle the Kansas City Chiefs (21:25 Sun – Sky Sports). The Chiefs are undefeated and sit atop of the standings totem pole. The last game on SNF is not just a battle of the horses, but its Peyton Manning’s return to his old team – the Denver Broncos play the Indianapolis Colts (01:30 Mon – C4). Finally, on MNF, Giants face off against Vikings when New York hosts Minnesotta (01:40 Tues – Eurosport). The Purples and the Big Blue are a combined 1-10 to start their season – ouch! That’s not comfortable reading for either set of fans.
NFL Week 7
Published by Will Davies on
Trash talk is part of sport but Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is way out of order in having a dig at Peyton Manning saying he would rather have more superbowl rings than all the great numbers put up by Manning. Peyton carried his team for years and deserves better than that.
Apart from anything else it is not very bright winding up Peyton before the game.
Seahaws go 83 yards in 2 minutes for a TD. The final play started on the 35 yard line and the QB dropped back 10 yards and looked like he was in trouble but he launched the ball into the end zone giving his receiver an easy TD
Should have added that he had no protection whatever and 3 Arizona players in his face when he made the throw
This is the first time I have watched the Seahawks in ages. Wilson at QB looks really good but Seattle need to get him some protection or he is never going to be as good as he could be. Change that to if they don't get him some protection he is going to get severelly squished.
Seahawks were 14-0 up after two really quick drives. Arizona scred a field goal and then got a TD after Wilson was left unprotected inside his own 10 and had the ball stripped during the sack.
Just realised that no-one in this game is wearing any pink
Half time 17-10 Seahawks. Time for bed.
Hey, thought I would check in early this week. Let Will know him team is going to get destroyed tonight.
Hi Dan, yes thanks. It's probably not even going to be close.
I
Also, could tonight be the night that the Jags win?
Atlanta go 3 and out on opening drive. Douglas v Revis isn't going to be pretty.
Defensive touchdown to the Falcons!!!
Chargers already 7 up.
AJ Green just made scoring TD's very easy. Much watch play for later on.
Ohhh no! Fred Jackson is injuured, and i was so close to pulling him out - damn Fabs' Start'em-sit'em.
I started CJ Spiller. This could be the breakthrough I am waiting from for my number 1 pick overall.,
Worst is I just traded from him in that league - i needed his RB points
How you doing in that league? Struggling against the "experts"?
Last week I was 3-0 across my leagues, I think I will do well to be 1-2 today.
I'm 2-4 - suffering from Megatron and Kaep! (and other poor performers)
So much so thst I'm starting Foles over Kaep
If you want to look in on the TMF league, it's public: http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/1521582
Forte 2yarder TD for da Bears - helps in all 3 leagues.
Still pleased with the Panthers pick 6. Picked them in both leagues this week. Currently my biggest scorers.
Jacquizz Rodgers puts the Falcons 14-0 up with a 19 yard reception.
VJax makes a huge 1harder TD catch for the Buccs
Impressive TD, got to give credit for that.
Imagine what this year's Rivers could do with VJax opposite Keenen Allen.
You might be getting somewhere near the Chiefs and Broncos. So tough this year. You guys could yet get 2nd wildcard!
Hmmm... if Miami and the Jets fall back, the North will eat itself and now the Texans are self destructing... I think you're right.
I've not looked at the Falcons' position - probs going for the 6th seed if anything.
Almost definitely, Saints probably have the division. 49'ers will get 5th seed. Just leaves number 6 to snatch heroically late in the year.
You've got competition from the Lions and Bears in the North... and should be ok from the East.
Cutler coming off for the Bears, he's in pain.
I only thought about picking up HD yesterday when I realised it was to late for this week, DAMN.
HD?
Harry Douglas.
Ahh yes, my timeline has just exploded with his name.
Devin Hester runs a punt back 81 yards for a TD.
Nice intro to tonight's NFL for me
Just like all the scoring as you arrived to every match in the Euros :)
Rivers comes up short on the qb-dive, as time runs out.
I had forgotten all about that. I wonder if that carries over to the world cup next year.
I am not going to be around much during this game due to cooking and stuff, Will see the whole of the next on though
Calvin Johnson back to scoring ways.
Teehee, Chargers rookie HC threw his challenge flag on a play which is automatically reviewed... loses a timeout. #doh
I guess that is what happens when rules get complicated
Nice TD Bengals
Rivers tried to stand on it and hide it, before kicking it back to him - didn't work
Hi guys, thought I'd check in. Only watching the Patriots game at the moment.
Megatron gets another TD - this one in tripie coverage.
Jets TD called back for OPI
that is soo Jets
Matt Barkley coming in at QB for the Eagles - Foles appears hurt.
27-27 in Pats - Jets. 0:16 left.
Chicago up by three against Washington. Could get OT there too. 41-38.
Wow. Great Redskins 3rd down completion under pressure with less than 3 mins to go.
Bengals kick a field goal with 4 seconds left in the game to break the tie
Redskins in FG territory, Pats punting in OT.
I've switched to the radio - not watching many late evening games for me this season.
Redskins TD. Looks like they've done enough.
1 TO and 45 seconds for a TD is going to be a bit much, I think.
Which is a shame, I wanted OT there.
The game at Arrowhead has just kicked off.
KC get first possession
Jets with a FG attempt to win.
Jets miss the kick, but penalty on the patriots for holding. Jets are surely in range now.
KC go 3 and out. Texans get the ball with their untried QB Case Keenum
JETS BEAT THE PATRIOTS!
Goodd job they've already lost... They'd hate to cost them an unbeaten record
Keenum's first series
Hand off 0 yards
Hand off 11 yards First down
Lateral pass 10 yards First down
Play action hail Mary. Receiver dived and 'caught' it in both hands at the 3 yard line but couldn't hold it
Hand off 0 yards
Nice pass through a batch of defenders. 10 yards First down
Hand off 0 yards
Unloaded the ball just in time to avoid the sack
Hand off -2 yards
QB did well but the play calling is not great
FG
ESPECIALLY with that penalty call.
and to geno!!
Forget Gino, to Rex Ryan.
Any further comment on that would be against the commenting policy.
don't think you even need to continue .. Your views as a pats fan are both implicit and explicit
TD Chiefs
Packers in dark blue and yellow is weird
Fabulous TD pass by Keesum launched it at the corner of the end zone from around the 35 yard line and placed it in the receiver's hands
Another fabulous pass by Keesum. Lost the pressure and made lots of time for himself to make a long pass
Keenum not Keesum
Not sure how the Chiefs failed to get a TD but the Texans take over on their own one yard line
Still one point in the game and 5:47 to go. Smith just threw an interception. Gives Keenum time to make himself the hero on his first start
3 and out after Kennum got flattened
I'm watching the end of Packers and Steelers. Just turned it on.
oh, no, it's KC and Hou. :)
Looks like a good ending!
It has been an interesting game
Love when they're close at the end.
Case Keenum is starting his first NFL game today. He has never even played a down before. He has played really well but he needs better protection
Wow!
I think there has been one point in this for the whole of the 4th quarter
Like to see a charged up stadium like that.
Using an online calculator he has a QB rating of 110. Not bad for a first game in a team that is not having a good season
Great performance.
They were really getting into the game but they seemed quieter at the end
Did you see the Green Bay throwback uniforms? I can't decide if they're very cool or very ugly.
I saw them. I am sure they wore them a couple of years ago too. They look familiar but maybe other teams had something similar. It makes a nice change from the modern stuff
I like the jerseys a lot.
I do like the change.
I bet they sell loads of them
I guess the big question now is do I go to bed at a sensible time or wait up to see the start of the Broncos game
I only slept a few hours last night, so I'm going to pass on the next game. Sensible is sensible.
I guess the Broncos will win that contest
Yeah, I guess so.
If you need to sleep you should sleep
yes, especially Sunday night. Sets up my week stronger rather than weaker. Tough crew this year, I need all my strength.
I'm sure they know who the boss is.
hehe. Especially if I don't get enough sleep! :)
I'm glad I got to say hi.
Me too. It wouldn't be Sunday night football without you
I had a super crappy night last night. Will email you.
Say it once for me...... 3 and out!
Sorry to hear that. Hope the rest of your week is better
You are a little late

It will be now. The whole situation is resolved.
ahaha! Yes! That's my favorite. <3
That's good. You will feel better after you get a good night's sleep
Friends help a lot, too. TTFN.
Good night.
Good night
Damn. Wish I would've been able to stay up for last night's battle of the horsies - amazing box-score!
Doubt tonight's game will be able to match up.
I watched the start of the game and when I gave up and went to bed it looked like it would be a Broncos win. I was very surprised to see the result this morning
