I hate both teams but......these officials suck as bad as the replacements. They blew a call on a Saint's fumble and then called a BS holding call on a field goal at the end of the game which went against the Saints and probably cost them the game.

I think they were punishing Duh Pack on the fumble. As the refs were removing players some Packers kept trying to dive into the pile then started scuffling with the ref. At that point I told my daughter that the Refs should just rule down by contact to teach them a lesson. Then that's just what they did.

The holding was a good call. The Saints player grabbed the Packer player and held him from the kicker.

The Vikings have shown solid improvement this year. I think the reason the vikes didn't do so great the first couple games is because AP wasn't in his groove yet and because our D wasn't as solid. AP and the D have been a lot better since the start of the season, I'm looking forward to a great season and (maybe even) a playoff spot! SKOL!!!!!

Quite honestly if someone told me we would be 3-1 to start the year it would not have come as a complete surprise......not because I thought we were that good but simply because of the schedule. HOWEVER.....they way we have gotten there is a total surprise.

The 1st game of the season was a terrible showing by the defense and offense but our rookie kicker saves us to get the win against a terrible Jax team.....THEN.....we lose to Indy who arguably is worse than Jax when our secondary makes their rookie Q/B look like Joe Montana in his prime and they fail to make a single significant stop on 3rd down all night long only this time, our kicker cant save the win with last minute heroics. We follow that debacle by playing one of the best teams in the league and we beat them not only on the scoreboard but on BOTH sises of the ball with a dominate showing. We follow that up with todays victory (on the road against a divisional team) and in the process our secondary holds the best W/R in the game to 50 yards???????

I love that fact that we are 3-1...leading the division BUT......I dont know which team will show up next week.....the one that looked like crap the first 2 weeks or the one that has played 2 excellent games back to back?????

I'm certainly hoping for the latter

The New Houston Falconravens.

Our game didn't even make Sportscenter!! On an NFL Sunday, that's REALLY saying something.

And I love it. Keep overlooking us everyone. We'll just keep flying under the radar, quiet as an assassin.

I've officially bought in; we finally did it on the road. That's what I needed to see.

And as an added plus it was against a division opponent

This team just kind of keeps the score within reach, and just scores enough to win (well, most of the time). It's everything Childress wanted the team to be, but couldn't figure out how to make happen.

houston is definitely the best team, it's simple to know why. Most of the time you don't want to start your guys in fantasy against them and their guys like Foster and Johnson are usually must starts!

It is still very early to annoit anyone. I think the conventional wisdom that weeks 9-12 will show us who is for real is pretty solid. Houston and Atlanta ar certainly firing on all cylinders right now.

Keeping in mind that as a sports team I hate the Packers but that was a BS holding penalty called on the FG attempt. Look at most all PATs and FGs. That call could be made on almost every attempt, plus it was a questionable "hold".

Well, the majority of reputable NFL analysts chose them. I'm not just talking about talking heads at ESPN.

Actually, most picked the Packers. More than any other team.

Well last year it was the Packers and Pats. Fortunately the SB is not won by fantasy stats.
