8:14

PFTonSNF: Only in the “Dumb and Dumber” sense.

8:18

PFTonSNF: There are a few. Raiders, Buccaneers, maybe Browns.

8:19

PFTonSNF: It was grandfathered into the celebration rule.

8:20
AskSNF: Who’s the best team in football? The Giants?
PFTonSNF: Possibly. Maybe. I’ve got a day to mull it over for the power rankings.

8:21

PFTonSNF: Watch out for the Chargers.

8:24

PFTonSNF: Rivers pulled a Peyton Manning today.

8:30

PFTonSNF: For a week at least.

8:35

PFTonSNF: Favre yes. Moss who knows.

8:40

PFTonSNF: Raiders should be feeling good right now, but fear the Chargers.

8:46
AskSNF: who do you think will have a better year mccoy or bradford
PFTonSNF: Good question but for now Bradford. He has a real shot at going to playoffs. It’s a longshot for Browns and McCoy.

8:46
AskSNF: do believe that that this can be a super season for the steelers?
PFTonSNF: I did until they lost to the Saints. They have to convince me again.

8:48
AskSNF: when do you think was the last time clay matthews cut his hair?

PFTonSNF: Yes. Best record and they’ve beaten Saints and Bucs.

8:59
AskSNF: Why does Rodgers flash that championship belt? What has he won?
PFTonSNF: Maybe he does it with no belt because he has won nothing.

9:00
AskSNF: are the Browns a legit playoff contender
PFTonSNF: They have to run the table.

9:00
AskSNF: How do you feel about the Packers Clay Matthews for Rookie of the year?
PFTonSNF: He’s not a rookie. He’s not a rookie. One more time. He’s. Not. A. Rookie.

9:01
AskSNF: is randy moss a good pickup for my fantasy team now?
PFTonSNF: I’d wait on that one.

9:10
AskSNF: Is a defender allowed to hit a QB that slides at the end of a run?
PFTonSNF: No, but there’s a little leeway. If defensive player moves to make hit before QB slides, there shouldn’t be a flag.

9:10
AskSNF: How will the addition of Randy Moss affect the Tennessee Titans?
PFTonSNF: Depends on how they use him. Rodney H. and I will be talking about that in our weekly video.

9:19
AskSNF: why are the Cowboys so bad? What happened to them? Do we need a new Coaching staff?
PFTonSNF: Cowboys need a new G.M.

9:20
AskSNF: What will it take for the Browns to make the playoffs?
PFTonSNF: They have little or no margin for error.

9:23
AskSNF: Why do so many teams refuse to use punters as their emergency kickers? Surely that makes more sense than Suh kicking extra points?
PFTonSNF: Just because a guy can punt doesn’t mean he can kick.

9:25
AskSNF: When does the flex schedule begin?
PFTonSNF: Flex scheduling starts in two weeks.

9:27
AskSNF: Do you know Suh’s range for fg kicks?

9:29

PFTonSNF: Yes. Giants in 2007.

9:37
AskSNF: will Bush ad Pierre Thomas be healthy after the Saints Bye-Week?
PFTonSNF: Bush, yes. Pierre, don’t know.

9:42
AskSNF: How much worse can my Cowboys get
PFTonSNF: Not much.

9:43
AskSNF: Shouldn’t the Lambeau Leap be excessive celebration? Its annoying
PFTonSNF: It’s specifically exempt from the celebration rule. Grandfathered in.

9:44
AskSNF: Will Coach Wade Phillips get fired after this game?
PFTonSNF: Hell, he may get fired during the game.

9:46
AskSNF: The Raiders really proved them self today do you think there legit?
PFTonSNF: For now. Still a long way to go. Watch the Chargers.

9:46

10:02

it take for the Cowboys to establish a running game here?
PFTonSNF: There is no point in running the ball now.

10:02
PFTonSNF: People talk about “establishing the run.” But there is no point if you can’t run and always fall behind. Dallas needs to establish the D.
