Well, 4 out of 5 ain't bad. :D (Excluding the Monday night games, of course.) I can't believe the Chiefs won, though! :eek: Now I'm scared about Thursday night.

You did pretty good this week.

I would have to say that Mcown is the dumbest QB in the NFL. He almost ended his season yesterday.

Any bets what week Lovie Smith gets canned? His teams look so woefully unprepared.

A loss is a loss. The score, however doesn't represent the big picture with this Win by the Titans. Tampa's defense and offense are both ranked higher than you'd expect because the Titans won the field position for most of their possessions. Mariota had 4 touchdowns, but only 209 yards passing in the whole game. When you see a game like that, it just shows that the defense was protecting a short field.

Obviously, Winston had a bad game. It happens to even seasoned players. Tampa's got a rough road ahead. New Orleans next week....Houston the week after that. I plan on watching both of those games to see how much he improves and to hopefully watch him beat the Texans by week 3. :D

Whelp, i turned off the TV on that stupid personal foul penalty on the Cowboys. Oops.

Looks like Eli fucked up a lot by not wasting time on the clock and giving the Cowboys tons of time to come back. That was really bad execution.

Edit: Like literally, i could have been in at QB and i would have known not to snap it with 20 second left on the play clock, i'm a better qb than eli! :D

Not sure if he did that to try and catch the Cowboys off guard since they might have been expecting him to wait until the play clock reached 0 before snapping the ball. IIRC, the Giants got a first down on that play...

The bigger bonehead play was passing on the 3rd down instead of running it before they kicked their last field goal. When that play ended, the clock stopped with 1:34 because Eli had to throw it out of the end zone since no one was open. Had they run the ball, the clock would have continued running and they would have kicked the FG with about 50 seconds left.

So Seattle was in OT vs the Rams and were behind by 3 points and needing 1yrd on 4th down so they......handed off to Beast Mode!....and he was stuffed for a 2yrd loss. One has to wonder if people in Seattle will now re-consider the SB play-calling at the end of the game.

Why do it out of the freakin shotgun? Gee, I have to go a foot so I'll snap it to Wilson standing three yards behind the line when my offensive line has been getting shoved around all day. My 9 year old could come up with a better play.

I honestly have no clue how Bevell can lose with the amount of talent on that team and still keep his job. I thought he should have been canned after the SB.

I kinda disagree with that one, Rex did get the Jets to the ACFCG twice and managed to boot NE out of the playoff's in NE. After he lost most of the talent to FA the Jets sucked record-wise but his guys always played tough for him. I think that as long as his QB doesn't give away games ala Sanchez Buffalo could be a serious contender, also remember that their best defensive lineman was missing from today's game in Marcell Dareus with a knee issue.

Rex Ryan inherited two teams that previous regimes had stocked with excellent talent, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. That's why the Jets went as far as they did those years until they couldn't retain said talent anymore. Rex couldn't piece together the offense in Jersey though, hopefully Roman and Whaley will have that under control in Buffalo.

Yea, the play call was bad, but given that, Eli having no one to throw too, he should've at least taken a sack to keep the clock going. It's counterintuitive for a qb, but it would've been the smart thing to do in that situation.

Rex brought a lot of free agents in during his start. One of his problems though was that he didn't cut them soon enough after they weren't as useful.


Suh won't be disciplined for any actions during the game.

Pacman will be fined but not suspended.

Which after watching both replays, Pacman should have been ejected and suspended. The Suh thing - it looked as if he intentionally looked down before hitting the helmet, but I think he's so rehearsed in what he does that he did it so fluidly it's almost impossible to tell that it wasn't just coincidence.

Should be a good matchup between the Bills and Pats. Unfortunately the first few weeks don't tell you too much about a team, well unless the are exceptionally dominant.

nope, was a crappy executed play. almost looked like a delayed draw how long it took the exchange to take place. and if you lined up the only 10 possible plays in the SB, the one they used would be listed as 10th most desirable.

Yea, one old coach noted "only 3 things can happen when you pass and 2 of them are bad" LOL..

I was quite concerned that the Pats could not "set the edge" on defense and Pitt racked up a lot of yards on the ground minus their featured back as well.

Is Atlanta's D that good or is Philly playing exceptionally poorly? And as I type this, Murray runs in a TD.

A little bit of Atlanta playing well, but a whole lot of Philly playing poorly.
