rough two weeks for the fans.

....seriously rough. My buddy is a big Bucs fan. I imagine he's been drinking heavily since the season started.

I think they part ways with Freeman after this season unless he somehow turns around his roller coaster playing.

And if they can't get their penalty situation under control this might be Greg's last season as HC.

The usually craptastic AFC East is 4-0 outside of the division, and none of those wins are by the Patriots. I'm sure they'll return to form as the season goes on, though.

Read option is working pretty good for Seattle but Wilson is eventually going to get jacked up.

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.

big time, Meriweather played really dirty, and got what he deserved. Hope he wakes up in the hospital with a big fine.

He got jacked hard a few series ago. Impressive to see him speed along like that on that final drive that play after getting nailed in the shoulder region as soon as he handed it off.

still, yeah. I hope he comes out of this one OK, lol.

Yeah he got hit hard but it was clean.

Eventually one of the read option plays is going to get a QB hurt and then we will get into a huge ordeal over it.

QBs are the highest paid position and very important. If you want to minimize their injury risk then don't use them like a running back. There are reasons why NFL teams don't run the triple option out of wishbone formations, having your QB as a potential lead blocker is one of them.

TB - another heart breaking loss at the last second.

Miami - 2-0? Is this for real or just a funk?

SF is still being shut out in 3rd QT?

This game is just exactly as awesome as it was supposed to be. I'd only hope that SF could actually put together some offense.

Ok, I've heard (or read) this a few times times now and it's starting to piss me off in a big way:

The Redskins "rushed" RGIII back.

Are you $#%^ing kidding me? The Redskins did EVERYTHING they could to cool his jets on hurrying back, but he (and his people) did nothing short of embarrassing them into naming him the regular season starter.

Now he's completely hamstringing their offensive play calling because they can't afford to have him get re-injured; they'd probably be exiled from football if that happened. He's going to get them fired by being a prick.

I think I've already had enough of the RGIII worship.

I think the Dolphins added some key players to be competitive this year, today's 24-20 win was the exact kind of game they'd lose 24-20 last year. Since Brady's been denied skill position players I think the Fin's can beat the Pat's this year.

Yea, and 0-2 means little chance of making the playoff's, all the hype on ESPN during the off-season, I'm sorry, there are several much better QB's playing in the league right now..
