1. Bears DESTROYED Seattle. Wow, are they really that good?

2. Jets/Colts most entertaining game I've seen in a long time. 21 points in last 3 minutes of the game, 3 lead changes and a crazy ass trick play!

3. Ravens fly under radar and beat a very solid chargers team to remain undefeated. Bears look great, but do the Ravens have the best defense?

4. Bill Belichik is a freaking genius. Who guessed they'd beat the pants off the Bengals this week? Prior to this week Bengals were a huge superbowl favorite. Now they get stomped by the Patriots. That franchise continues to surprise me.

5. Young/Leinart both starting next week. Should be interesting to see how they progress.


Awesome week 4!

We were talking about Chicago/Seattle today at lunch. I think it was a combination of the Bears being a little better than everyone thought and the Seahawks being a little worse. Chicago is good and should easily win their division this year.

Jets/Indy was surprising. When the Jets went up with 2 minutes and change, I knew the Colts would score easily.

Ravens might be the best defense right now.

I would not have bet against the Patriots against Cinci. Too many people counting them down and Brady had a lot to prove. Cinci is good, I think they may have just expected an easy win here.

Haha, I made a similar blunder. I sat Terry Glenn :( Oh, and I elected to start Alex Smith over Delhomme... that paid off, with Smiths 96 passing yards and 2 ints :(

The Bengals definitely didn't help themselves in the ballgame, but I'll give the Patriots all the credit, they played their game and beat us fair and square.

Great week for us Niner fans. I'm serious. At some point the commissioner is going to have to step in and force that jackass York to sell the team. We've been "rebuilding" for five years now.

There's a San Jose group led by Steve Young and other 49er greats who want to buy the team and turn things around, but York refuses to sell because he's expecting to get rich with a new stadium and by running the team on the cheap.

It's a business - he wants to make money - obviously he believes this is the way to do it.

If you want him to change, them everyone needs to boycott home games. You need to make sure that the 49ers don't get any sponsorship deals.

Hit him at the bottom dollar. If 49ers fans are too stupid to stop going to games with such a crappy team then you have no one to blame but them.

Niners didn't look to bad the first 3 weeks. And Alex Smith looked promising at times. That was my bust of the week, I actually picked Niners to win that game, boy was I wrong.

Chicago played their A game and Seattle played awful. Chicago is a good team this year, but Seattle took themselves out of the game IMO. The interceptions and not scoring the touchdowns (when they kicked field goals) took them right out of it and they gave up. They were not the same team I saw last week at qwest field against the giants. They need to step it up or count on losing early in the playoffs.

Did i mention that Chicago played very well?

And Gradkowski for the Bucs - I think the rookies will have a rough week.

Granted, Gradkowski isn't on par with Young/Leinert, but he was a damn good college QB.

Seriously - I'm ashamed of my Bucs this year, my orignal 11-5 prediction has been adjusted to 4-12. :(

I live in Houston and am very glad the Texans won, but I'm really pulling for the Bears.

I once roomed with their Left Tackle, John Tait, while serving an LDS mission in Tennessee. I was 5' 6", 135 lbs and he was 6' 6" and 340 lbs. The two of us together was quite a sight to see. :)

Yeah, I learned the hard way too (last year)! You have to play Moss, because you never know when he's going to have a break out game! :(

The sad part is I told myself to follow that same philosophy once I drafted him, but because I'm not doing so well in the league I have him in I wanted to take a chance with someone else, someone who got me 0 points of course. :(
