This should be an interesting season, after the debacle with the substitute refs, when some of those games (Seattle v. Packers) that the refs totally blew could determine a teams playoff destiny. Homefield advantage may have been lost because of this or dare I say a playoff berth.
Who would have thought the standings would be thusly after week 5? http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/standings
I think the only division out of whack is the NFC north, with Minny leading and GB and Lions below .500.Who would have thought the standings would be thusly after week 5? http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/standings
Even N.O. at 1-4 can be blamed (at least partly) on Bountygate.
The Buffalo game was a wild finish.
I had a few bucks on the Bills and the only way I lose is if Cards score a TD in overtime so I was pissed when 1)Feeley kicks a 61 yarder to tie it late and (then extra pissed when) 2) he misses from 37 to force overtime.
Had a good day, though. 10-2 vs. the spread.

You don't watch much football, do you?Whats with all the pink in tonights game?
Looks like a lingerie league game.
This is the third week this month they've worn it and it's been going on for the last 3 or 4 Octobers, i.e. breast cancer awareness month.
Great game last night by Manning and the Broncos. Impressive win by the Giants. And my Browns won a game, was worried they might have the perfect 0-16 season. Holmgren is out with the sale of the team complete.
Does anybody know why the NFL field is so small? The end zones are only 10 yards wide and sometimes there are 10 big guys in that tiny piece of real estate.
For the same reason there is 90 feet between bases and a basketball net is 9 feet high.Does anybody know why the NFL field is so small? The end zones are only 10 yards wide.
Actually, the end zone is 53.3333 yards wide.
So, what is the length of the end zone? I heard that it is 10 yards but it looks like a sandbox when crammed with 6'3" 220lbs. humans.Actually, the end zone is 53.3333 yards wide.
BTW: I did ask the question about the size of a basketball court a while back and, apparently, it is the same size now as it was 22,000 years ago when human males were only 4'6" tall.

As far as I know most, if not all, sports playing areas have maintained their original dimensions. Hockey, baseball, soccer, tennis along with basketball and football in spite of the fact that all the athletes are bigger, faster, stronger etc.BTW: I did ask the q as uestion about the size of a basketball court a while back and, apparently, it is the same size now as it was 22,000 years ago when human males were only 4'6" tall.
I think in baseball they moved the fences in closer to home plate. However, the pitcher's mound is still 60'6" from home plate despite the fact that almost all pitchers are now over 6' tall and some are 6'8".As far as I know most, if not all, sports playing areas have maintained their original dimensions.

Some hockey rinks are larger now but the net is still the same size despite "Michelin Man" size goalies now.
I actually like the Canadian game with the wider and longer field.Where would you rather watch a game, in a stadium where the playing field is 160 yds long or one that is 120 yds in length?
Huh?For the same reason a basketball net is 9 feet high.
Good to see Andrew Luck have a great week against a surprisingly tough Miami Dolphins.
