Nice to see that my Cowboys can beat a really good team on the road even when Romo has an off night. I have to keep reminding myself that Tony hasn't quite played the equivalent of 2 full seasons as the starter so he's still learning his reads. The running game is lookin' good with Barber/Jones.

Giants 3-0!
Didn't play spectacular, and it was against the Bengals, but they still got the win.

Just got home after a weekend in the Bahamas. Fortunately for me they didn't televise the Chiefs game on the boat. They did televise the Bengals/Giants game, though. Man, what a hell of a game.

Wow, Jets aren't even making this a game. Two picks already for Favre.

Maybe a Brady-less Pats
But still....the phins beat the pats 38-13!??
What I find crazier, Ronnie Brown ran for FOUR Td's, and threw for one.
Wow...if he goes down that team is screwed.

Like I said, I'm not sure the Patriots win that game with Brady playing. Defense just got spanked in a very embarrassing way. I wouldn't want to be around Belichick this week.

^ No, I'm sure they're being beaten with bricks for hat display.
And it looks like the Bills might finally be a team to worry about.
Not quite there yet, but maybe soon the AFC East won't be a cake walk for the Pats anymore

The whole AFC should be interesting this year.

You do realize that the Buffalo Bills had to come from behind to beat the Oakland Raiders with a last second field goal. Not exactly an accomplishment of great measure; but yes they are a surprising 3 and 0. With Brady out who knows what is going to happen with New England, Pittsburgh actually looked worse than the Lions against the Eagles on Sunday, and Indianappolis appears to be struggling out of the gate. Whereas, in the past the AFC was interesting because it had 6 great teams, this year it appears that they are just mediocre teams and thus everything is up for grabs.

I watched the Bills Raiders game and in my mind I am still trying to figure out how Oakland lost it. They dominated the game until the start of the 4th quarter. I guess the big thing was they dominated the first half but the score was only 13-7. The offense is just so inexperienced it hurts sometimes but they are improving. I thnik both Russel and McFadden are going to be big stars soon. As bad as Oakland has been that makes 10 games they lost taking a lead into the 4th quarter. I don't think they are easy as Denver made them look.
I have to give Trent Green some love the guy played like a champion QB in that 4th quarter and his receivers made some outstanding plays after the catch. A good win for Buffalo but this has to be an a game Oakland can grow from.

Trent Green? I thought he played for St. Louis and was just made the starter.

Yes you are right. The QB I was think of was 2nd year out of Stanford Trent Edwards.

The move the Rams made of benching Bulger is an odd one; in my opinion Bulger and Jackson are the only quality players on that team. Well, maybe Holt, but he can't play forever.

Kind of sad what happened to "the greatest show on turf". I can clearly remember when they were the most feared team in the league, one of the best offenses I've seen (made the SB win all the more glorious...fast forward to last year when the Patriots got to reprise the role of 2001 Rams  )

2001 Rams lost the Super Bowl because a certain Patriots head coach knew what plays were coming.
And that team was bound to collapse dramatically. Their style was to have Warner throw a bomb and then get knocked down. EVERY PLAY. He couldn't keep that up for long, and it took him three years or so to recover from that and resume being an elite NFL quarterback.

Think the Bucs should package Garcia and trade him to NE :) We could use a WR like Welker maybe.
About had a heart attack over that dam Chicago game. And I really can't believe the thumping the Dolphins gave the Patriots.
