I know it looks like I'm jumping on the bandwagon because they beat the Broncos but I really think the Colts are the best AFC team, and I thought they would win last night. Andrew Luck reminds me so much of Rodgers. Can make every throw and is athletic enough to make plays with his feet when needed. If I had to pick any QB to replace A-Rod it would be Luck in a heartbeat.

Packers put the Browns away in about 5 minutes and were just controlling the game for 3 quarters. Looking very good despite being decimated by injuries (all in key positions) - I believe we suited up the minimum number of players yesterday and even then a few were not going to participate anyway unless desperately needed. Keep #12 injury free and get in the playoffs then we will do some damage.....reminiscent of our SB year.

The Broncos still look excellent. The Chiefs will finish with a good record and be 1 and done in the playoffs. Alex Smith is not good enough to be a QB for a team with SB ambitions. He is average and relies entirely on his defence. Wait until he plays a team who can get ahead of the Chiefs.

NFC is more wide open.

The Bucs should fire Schiano now, he has made them a total laughing stock.

I watched most of the game last night and still for the life of me can't understand why the Vikings started Josh Freeman. It became apparent after the 1st 2 drives that he didn't know enough of the offense to give them a chance to win. Pretty sure he ran the same play 3 or 4 times in the 1st half, it was like watching someone play on madden only he was the computer team on rookie :lol:

A few more weeks and he may be ok but to start him that soon was daft, Ponder or Cassel would have easily give them a better chance to win them that game.

People are giving Freeman way too much credit for last night. He played like that for us the last 12 months and knew that offence like the back of his hand!

Here's some of good tweets from last night:

@TravHaneyESPN without throwing a pass, Ponder's approval rating in Minneapolis tripled.

@TravHaneyESPN greater: yards passing by Freeman, or yards by which Freeman has missed his receivers tonight?

Hey @ESPNStatsInfo, is average height of overthrow a stat we can measure? Freeman just shattered records, all of them.

Breaking News: Vikings Frazier offers to take MRSA from Bucs if they take Freeman back!

Josh Freeman is the only QB that could get two coaches fired in one season. #Bucs #Vikings

I just left, people are scared for their safety with Josh Freeman throwing the ball

Freeman throws the ball like the drunk dude at the tailgate who doesn't account for being on a hill.

The U.S. wants to send Josh Freeman to Syria -- where he can overthrow an entire government

Anyway, I get the anti Tampa hate on here. I really do.

Penalties are what has killed us this year though. We would have 4 wins now if it wasn't for dumba** penalties and thats on the coaching staff, especially Schiano.

That being said, we have been competitive in every game and Glennon looks a very capable guy. Is he our guy? time will tell, but he has got better week on week so far and looks better at certain aspects of his game than Freeman ever did (Dont mistake that for me saying he is better than Freeman ever was after only 3 games). His short and intermediate passing is accurate as hell though and thats what let Freeman down. He needs to work on his deep throws however. They seem a bit hit and hope. The thing I like about Glennon so far, and this was Freeman's major flaw that we all thought he'd grow out of, is that he doesn't stare down his receivers. He see's the whole field and if it's not there, he gets rid of it.

OK, on to Doug Martin. I actually aren't that bothered because our O Line has been that bad this year even AP would struggle. He was being over worked (88% of snaps before Sundays game) and this arm injury may be a blessing in disguise because it was only a matter of time before he got cleaned out and suffered a much worse leg shot. I also like the look of Mike James from the limited snaps he has had this year and hopefully he has a good year and takes some of the load of Doug next year. Like I said though, the way the O Line is blocking, it doesnt matter who's there.

Freeman was flat out awful last night. The not knowing the offense excuse can only go so far. He was missing wide open receivers and overthrowing players by 10+ yards at times. One of the worst games I've watched in recent memory and I hope no first time viewers watched it as it was a terrible advert for the game!

I stayed up to watch it too.

I text my friend in the 1st half saying it was like a competition between Freeman and Eli to see who could have the worst game.

Even the Giants fans couldn't get into it in the 4th when they got the game winning lead

I've got to agree with everyone else last nights game was terrible and the only reason i kept watching was I needed Jennings to get 11 points for me to win in fantasy but with Freeman looking like it was the 1st game he'd ever played at QB that wasn't going to happen.
