Cowboys 25 @ Bills 24
Jeremy: Gush all you want about Brett Favre, it's hard to watch Tony Romo on the Cowboys and not be a little envious.Matt: Bye weeks suck.
Sarah: The Cowboys are also 4-0, same as the Pack. Still don't like the Cowboys, but I kind of like Romo, what's wrong with me?
Jon: Buffalo Bill was a cowboy, no?

I'm not sure if the Cowboys have an infinite amount of betterness , but they probably have a team of higher quality overall. And, the Packers play the Cowboys this year, so we really won't need to debate. edit: Also, according to the power rankings on ESPN, Foxsports, and CBSsportsline, the Cowboys are only 1 better than the Packers, which obviously isn't that much of a difference. |

| To be fair, I think the Packers-Viking game was one of those game discussed earlier where the final score really doesn't reflect how close the game actually was. Of course, because I'm talking about the Packers I'm sure I'll be accused of being homerish, but the game was not as close as the 7-point margin indicated. That said, I don't completely disagree with jthompto's first part of the comment that the Cowboys are better. |

You're right, that 7 point margin should have been closed by the fumble return TD the refs took off the board. (Also, in all seriousness, the Packers allowed the Vikings big play after big play, so I don't know why you feel they were beaten more "handily" then 7 points) |

Well the game I watched never really got out of hand, the bad fumble call would have tied the game, and even with that the Vikings still ad a chance to tie at the end. I also think the cowboys are better at this point due to the fact that they have a solid running game, unlike Green Bay. But hey, they play on Nov 29 so I guess we will see then. |

Even if the Pack blow out the Cowboys by 56 points there will still be the talk about "Hey, remember that one play where the ref called it wrong? That was the turning point, and you can negate about 49 of those points... therefor they are not better, the Cowboys just got shafted" If not Jeremy, then someone.... |

Well to be fair the play I'm talking about cost the Vikings 7 points in a 7 point game (not to mention the Packers scored 7 of their own on the drive that should have never been.) Though I still don't think 1 win over another team makes the other team the 'better one' automatically, even with a 56 point margin. |

Oh that, yeah. Well, if I remember correctly, the whistle blew immediately, so there was absolutely no way that the call (right or wrong, in this case, the right call  ) could even have been reviewed. Also, I think it was the 4th qtr. I'm sure there are lots of calls that that the refs made up that would have given the game to the Vikings. The only one that I could see being argued as an obvious call was the pass interference on the last offensive play for the Vikings. Whatever though, I stand by my thoughts. I never once felt that the Vikings were putting up much of a fight. If they would have given Peterson the ball more than 12 times maybe things would have different. I never would have thought that a former Wisconsin Badgers offensive coordinater would not know what to do with a good running back. |

I never would have thought that a former Wisconsin Badgers offensive coordinater would not know what to do with a good running back.Oh, it wasn't reviewable? I stand corrected, it had to be the right call then, I'll withdraw my charge that they screwed up. So when the Vikings were down one score, had the ball to go get those points they needed after the Packers turned the ball over while in "all we have to do is not turn the ball over" mode, and on the ensuing drive the receiver was absolutely hogtied and violated leading to the game icing int bouncing off him on the 30 or so yard line you thought to yourself, "Well we got away with one there, but we were so dominant today that the Vikings were never in the game, so I don't feel we got away with one?" I wish I knew what life looked like through those 'Opportunity meets Preparation' glasses.   You do realize the only time the Vikings trailed by even 2 scores was for like 3 minutes after the questionable call, yes? A bulk of the day the Packers weren't even a TD worth ahead. |

In other words, what other teams' fans do you think get done watching a game where they had to survive both the onside kick and a worst-case-scenario turnover while in "the ONLY thing we can't do is turn it over here" mode. Only then to cling to their one score lead and then think to themselves, "Man, we really kicked some ass today! I wasn't nervous for a second. Why did that other team even bother to show up?" We all know there are close games score-wise that shouldn't have been, but I don't think you can make a rational argument this qualified. Those are the games where a team is up 35-7 and put in their 2nd string D to play prevent for the entirety of the forth quarter allowing a couple meaningless scores. |

Bears 27 @ Packers 20
Jeremy: It seems to me there was a Wisconsin sports team in recent history that got off to an over-hyped fast start, I'll have to do a bit of legwork to find out who that was and how that played out. Stay tuned.Matt: Bernard Berrian for MVP!!!
Sarah: Remember when people thought the Packers were going to be at the bottom of the division? And these people get paid to make these predictions? Shame on them! I'm liking this season, but sometimes the games get a little bit intense. I can't say I'm scared of Griese as an individual, but you never know when it comes to the Bears. Favre usually has some good games against them.
Jon: I want to pick Chicago but I don't think their offense is good enough to put any points on the board. I don't think Green Bay's offense is great either, especially in light of them facing Chicago, but there are too many injuries to the Bears' defense to assume they can still dominate.
