Looks like a much better slate of matchups this Sunday than last week. On paper anyways.

NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list... This is a fairly high volume ping list

[johnny7]

Gints' at the Seattle Starbucks... should be a good'n.

[mainepatsfan]

It was last year.

[proudofthesouth]

Go Bengals!

[BenLurkin]

go browns

That it is, but who here thought that the Panthers/Bucs would be a potential Toilet Bowl matchup instead of a potential NFC Champ one at the start of the season?

[mainepatsfan]

That's exactly why the NFL has a flexible schedule after Thanksgiving for their Sunday night games.

(I think I did the code right this time, thanks to steveegg!)

Very nice.

[cgk]

:)

Now I doubt I will have success with my picks this week for the pick'em league. Tough week!

[scott says]

There you go! Thats what I wanted to do...I have the computer skills of a 7 year old. Nice work.

[cardinal4]

I like Washington this week..

[mainepatsfan]

If they can't get this one...well then it's time to start checking out Mel Kiper Jr's 2007 NFL draft preview.

[cardinal4]

0-2 in the NFC east is tough to bounce back from..

[mainepatsfan]

Tough but not impossible. My Pats made the post season in 1994 and 1996 despite two opening losses within their division.

[MotleyGirl70]

I'm hoping for a "W" this afternoon.

Go Pack!

[mainepatsfan]

Well both teams looked about the same against Chicago so who knows?

[MotleyGirl70]

Great post!

[MotleyGirl70]

I'm a Packer fan through thick and thin, but it's heart-breaking to see them playing so poorly.

I'd really be happy if we can pull off a win today.
