Go Seahawks. May your faith in Tavaris Jackson not be as completely insane as it sounds on paper.

Because holy shit, guys.

Eagles baby!

um, count me in

Giants!

Broncos look ok this year, they might just win 6 games. Count me in

Come on Bears...don't fail me with your silly decisions...

Sign me up I guess.

Week 1 of the Andrew Luck sweepstakes begins. Go Niners! I love how the NFC West has become the blind faith division.

Also, I learned that Peyton Manning has been playing defense all these years, what a guy!

Go ahead and sign me up, I'm game.

Sign me up.  I'm hoping Tavaris Jackson doesn't screw over the Seahwaks too badly. 
 
EDITED

Baltimore is destroying Pittsburgh. They went for two just for shits and giggles

 
This is the year that the Jets will do it. It's now or never. They have all the right men to take care of business. Go Jets!
Also, what is this pool we speak of?

Ravens put it on 'em. Made my day!

Go vikings. surprised that Pittsburgh was manhandled by the ravens today.

sign me up was well

I'm hoping this Jaguars win is the first of many. Also the Bears looked really impressive today.  I'll sign up for the pool too.

Difficult to determine if the Bills got something this season when the Chiefs played so awful.
 
edit: Would like to join the pool.

Packers

I'm still impressed with how well the Bears played this afternoon against the Falcons.  I did not see that coming.

count me in!

go lions

Big Ben really sucked today!

Panthers look ok with Cam Newton, hope they do better this year.

Speaking of sucking, the Seahawks offense if terrible, Tarvaris Jackson sucks, the O-line can't get shit done, which was expected since they are very young and inexperienced, but still. The defense looks pretty good, Earl Thomas is a star in the making, and I think Kam Chancellor is as well. But with an offense that looks this bad, we might win the Suck for Luck competition...

Giants are making me shake my head in record time this year.

Also,

Texans all the way this year.

How about Cam Newton? I know the Cardinal defense isn't the strongest, but he's pretty impressive for his first start.

I'm a Colts fan. Nuff said. *sadface*

Regardless, been a really weird start to the NFL season. Pittsburgh looks awful? Buffalo looks awesome? Cincinnati actually win in Cleveland? Atlanta gets mauled by Bears? Detroit win on the road? San Diego gives up kickoff return for touchdown on the first play of the goddamn season?

Craziness abound in the NFL.

Count Me In , Lets Go Broncos,

Wait, I forgot one.

Rex Grossman is actually playing well?

Pats FTW

Oh man, great first Sunday for football.

Not only did the bears demolish Atlanta, this MIN-SD game is great. Can't wait until the Jets game.

- Vikings lose
- My fantasy football team loses (despite my boy Rivers having a good game)
- Red Sox lose
- My fantasy baseball team lost and is eliminated from the playoffs
 
All I need now is a kick to the balls to complete my day.

Well that had to be absolutely sickening to watch if you're a Cowboys fan. In the fourth, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Like many instances last season, the Jets show resilience and squeak by with a win.

Go New England!

@Mike512: I know, the Vikes really shit the bed in the second half, you got to at least get some points.

Also count me in on the pool.

The Cowboys really need to get their brains around that play clock thing

Either Arizona's passing defense sucks or Cam Newton is the real deal. Good loss if ever there was one.

Tony Romo is so not clutch, it's unreal.

Thank god Ted Ginn Jr. saved our ass. Niners were ready to hand that over near the end.

I don't understand why we kept kicking to him, even though he almost broke a few earlier in the game, and was pretty dangerous throughout...

Ha ha Cowboys.  

I am ready to drink my beer in disappointment as I watch the Raiders.

@ZombiePie:

don't say that shit, i need a Raiders win tonight to win my office pool

Time for the return of  Tom Brady Dynasty.

Whoo Lions. Five game win streak (nine if you count the pre-season). That is all.

Go Bills. I think.

Has Al Davis died? Is Edward DeBartolo Jr. their manager?

No? Then they have no chance.

@ZombiePie:

I still think they are a better team then the inept Denver Bronco's...but even when Al Davis does pass away, his ghost will haunt that franchise forever. Paranormal Activity style.
