Obviously I'm biased, but they've got to be the best (or damn near) half time adjustment team out there. I'm not sure what the coaches say in the locker room or who decides on the play calling changes but they really are a whole different animal.

It's the coaching for sure. They did this even with tebow

Surprised the refs didn't give that to them since it's about the only call they've gotten right

Name somebody teams for us so we know.

They don't have a whole lot of them on their schedule but the Eagles in two weeks could be interesting

They could easily not see one until the payoffs and see another first round exit - or second since they'll have a bye

Eric Decker played well today. Didn't make a catch last week.

He made two last week. The announcers today even made sure to mention that he matched last games performance after his 2nd catch... On the first drive.

Alright, name some they aren't playing this season.

I'd call Houston good, but then I'd call the super bowl champion ravens good too.

I missed it, did Tampa Bay completely whiff on a field goal?

On one earlier. Not a great performance by the Saints but a win is a win on the road. Defense pulled out the win as our offense was pretty flat

In other news I have defended Mark Ingram to a certain extent for the past 2 years but I now agree that he is just not that good

impressed by Tampas d. their offense sucks though

Yeah they were in Drew Brees's face all game long and he struggled. The Saints are going to have a tough time again this year if they can't get some sort of running game going.

I don't know why Starks doesn't get 15-20 carries a game, with or without Lacy.

The league should fine Skins safety Meriweather for his helmet tackles.

Careful -- I wouldn't call this Colts team talented. Remember, they had to come from behind to beat the Raiders. I think they'll regress this year as most have predicted. The Colts line played decently in the first half but then was awful in the second when Miami started bringing the heat. They weren't picking up the blitz at all and Luck missed some wide open receivers because he was hit as he was throwing.

Tannehill, IMO, is the real deal and the Dolphins could be a sleeper team.

Yea, it's not like it was a secret that blitz was coming on both 3rd and 4th down and they still couldn't pick it up. Unless a miracle happens in NE and Brady's rookie gang turns around quickly, (I doubt it) Miami has a good chance to win the AFC east this year..
