Week 7 NFL Viewing Guide

by Michael Bean on Oct 17, 2008 4:43 AM EDT

Here are the games of interest in Week 7, at least in my mind, followed by the TV Distribution Maps for this week. Be blessed Steelers Nation. Have some fun this weekend in this generally gloomy time around our country. Appreciate what you have, whether it's your job, your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/friends, your pet, your music, your health, your Steelers, whateva. Everything's gonna be just fine. Hopefully :)

To the games.

San Diego at Buffalo: This is a great game. Are the Chargers back after their usual September doldrums? Are the Bills legit? Who freakin' knows, but we'll find out Sunday.

Vikings at Bears: Us AFC folk don't really give a damn about this one, but playoff hinges rest on this contest. The Vikings have played better this past couple of weeks and Chicago has somehow managed to be a somewhat consistent team with Kyle Orton at the helm. The problem though for Chicago has been that despite the relatively solid play at QB, the team's just 3-3. Big game in the NFC Norris.

San Francisco at New York: I include this game for two reasons. 1) We play New York the following week. I'll be interested to see if they can rebound from this past Monday night to beat a very flawed SF team. and 2) if SF wins, they deserve to be considered relevant in the NFC still, despite their schizophrenic play. But really, what a W by SF would tell me is that Pittsburgh can feast on the NYG in two weeks when they travel to Heinz. Anything other than a total NYG runaway has me feeling pretty good about Week 8 against the Giants.

Cleveland at Washington: Well, the 'Skins crapped the bed last week at home against St. Louis, while the Browns manned up and handled the reigning SB Champion New York Giants. In my mind, this is a big game in the Jim Zorn era in Washington. Can they rebound and re-establish themselves as an elite team in the NFC? Or do they punk out again to a Cleveland team that may be on the rise. For the Browns, there's just no time to feel good about last week's W. They need to follow that up with at least one W in the next two @ Washington or @ Jacksonville. This may be their better opportunity, quite frankly.

Me too

I saw that too. What a shock! I was sure that we’d be stuck watching the Titans or Colts here in Atlanta.
Awesome! I’ll have the miss the beginning (have a lunch meeting with some friends already planned), but thank God for DVR during football season. :)

The San Deigo at Bills game will say a lot about the competition in the AFC this year.

I am not sold on the Bill, nor am I sold on SD recovering this season.

My prediction is the Bills and Titans losing a few in the upcoming weeks with Indy coming back and SD winning a few.

Like I have been saying, the path to the SB is there for the steelers. Play Steeler football and do it.

DO IT.

NFL Sunday ticket = necessity

Changed my life forever. Still cheaper than the bar tabs from going and watching the boys at the local pub, plus added bonuses of actually seeing family on Sunday, along with long lost friends who will stop by more often, once they know you have it.

To the games:
SD is more talented, should be able to outscore Bills. Not a gimme by any means, but I’m not buying the Bills yet.
Vikes-Bears is a toss up, although Bears tough at home.
San Fran not likely to do much against Giants. Giants better than Monday’s debacle.
Brownies, are they back? If not this week, probably not at all, but ’skins are up and down, as last few weeks have shown. Browns make me more of a believer if they can pull this out.
