I don't remember...why did they let Welker go?  Was it age or was it salary cap issues?  It is really odd seeing him team up with Payton Manning after so many years watching him play for the Pats.

Yeah, the Giants are in some trouble.
I am not worried yet.  The last time they started 0-2 they won the Superbowl. The division is pretty weak as well.

If you're wondering about the worst division in football, look no farther than the NFC East. The division went 1-3 during Sunday's action with only the Washington Redskins saving face with a win in Oakland — their first of the season. Meanwhile, the New York Giants dropped to 0-4 with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos ran all over the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys fell to the San Diego Chargers.

NFC East teams are a combined 4-12 this season and there's no doubt that part of that can be attributed to their matchups against the surprisingly powerful AFC West. The two divisions have played eight games over the first four weeks with the AFC West holding a 7-1 edge.

Soooooo....The Giants beat the Eagles today.  The redskins AND the cowgirls both lost.  How bad is the NFC East?  The Giants went 0-6.  They are now 2-6 and only 2 games out of first place!  :rofl;

What a disturbing week in the NFL.  Gary Kubiak suffers what looks like may be a "mini-stroke", and this bullying business in Miama is appalling if all of the allegations are true (and there's quite a lot of evidence to suggest that they are).

Why would anyone harass a teammate like that, someone who is supposed to be on your team, helping you on to victory?  And what kind of head coach can't see what's going on?

I just don't feel real good right now about being a fan of the NFL.  Ugh. :'(

Yes.  I don't understand why this guy wasn't thrown out earlier.  His demeanor was known in college so much so that NFL teams listed him as DNDC: Do Not Draft, Character.  I hope legal action will follow. 

In addition to all that Rogers ends up with a fractured collar bone.  Wow, Kind of glad my Giants had a bye week.

Yes, Seattle won but if you watched the last 2 weeks they really did not play very well. I would be worried. That Rams game was horrible.

So the latest news on the Miami debacle this week is that the coaches told Incognito to "toughen up" the guy he was harassing. 

Apparently, this is not the first time the Miami coaching staff has been under scrutiny. 

Ugh.  I see this becoming a morass.   :puke;

Seattle Seahawks now have the best record in the NFL 11-1 as we enter Week 14 of the NFL regular season. We have broken the "Loudest Fans" record twice, most recently this past Monday for Monday Night Football. Now we hear stories that the San Francisco 49'ers have to send their season ticket holders letters on how to cheer (  :rofl; ). I am not the biggest football fan out there, but I must admit I LOOOOVE all the hoopla here in the Seattle area when our team does good. It's a fun energy! To add to the fun, 2 co-workers in my department at work made a bet. If the Seahawks make it in the top 4 of the playoffs, the non-fan has to wear a Seahawks Jersey every Friday. If they don't make it that far, the rabid Seahawks fan has to wear a tutu. I get entertained either way!  :beer1;

Cheers!

What the hell happened to the Texans?

Some of you may have heard about a little promotion a local car dealership did here in the greater Seattle area. Jet Chevrolet of Federal Way decided to run a promotion to have a raffle for 12 people to win $35000 each (in honor of the Seahawks "12th Man") IF they were able to shut out the NY Giants in their home stadium. They purchased an insurance policy to cover it, and the insurance company said it was about a 60-1 chance that that would happen.

The game was phenomenal! (Well, for a Seahawks fan, that is....) Incredible defense, 5 interceptions - one of them at the NYG TD line which prevented a TD. I kind of wish I was at a local bar watching it instead of at home, but it was a 10am game! I didn't want to get up that early!

Anyway, here is a story about this promo. It highlights one of the winners - a husband and wife and the wife has kidney disease. She has a lot of medical bills, but they also needed a new car. I am so happy that this worked out for them! It's nice to see a good luck story every once in a while   ;D

http://in.news.yahoo.com/video/12-fans-35-000-richer-020024170.html

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- Twelve lucky Seahawks fans became $35,000 richer after the team’s 23-0 shutout win against the New York Giants Sunday.

Federal Way’s Jet Chevrolet offered any customer that purchased a car or looked at one a chance to win the money if the Legion of Boom prevented their opponent from scoring any points.

“Minute by minute we were like come on clock keep ticking keep ticking,” said Tom Lovorich, who purchased a truck and qualified for the drawing.

“It was unbelievable normally during a shutout game you kind of quit half way through but we couldn’t quit watching because we knew we were in the drawing,” said his wife Rahna.

The Seahawk’s defense intercepted the opposing quarterback five times, preventing late scores in the game.

“Legion of boom I’ve got to thank those guys if I win I’ll send them a Christmas card and some candy,” said Michael Morris, who bought a car last week.

Morris’ wife is suffering from Kidney Disease, winning the money would help pay off amounting medical bills.

“It’d help out a lot,” he said.

A total of 29 people accounted for nearly 1400 entries. If a person purchased a car they received 100 entries, if they just looked they received one.

Morris learned he was one of the lucky winners.

“I can’t believe it,” he said.

He immediately shares the news on the phone with his wife, who’s been suffering.  The couple can finally afford her wish.

“She wants to go to Hawaii,” he said

Morris says the feeling is like winning the Super Bowl.

“Thank you Seahawks, thank you so much,” said Morris.

While the dealership paid out $420,000, all but $7,000 of it will be covered by insurance.

“We do different promotion, newspaper ads, TV but never in our wildest dreams did we think we’d get this much hype,” said Jim Johnson, co-owner.

According to Johnson, the giveaway may have never happened. The dealership intended to run the promotion for the Seahawks vs. 49ers game, but couldn’t get the legal clearance for it in time.
