best to do this b4 a pats game, so this week is pefect...

1. people are still using the wildcat.....baltimore came up with a good defense for it, maybe the cat will begin to die now

2. what is up with the helmet catches? a new thing int he NFL? (watch buffalo game)

3. so the jets really arnt that good...neither are the fins....but both lost this week

4. the bills are a mystery...but they have to beat us twice this yr for them to take the AFC East from us....i dont see that happening, i say we take both games

5. oww, is the NFL messed up...the colts got beat by a so so team, SD is back to a losign record....

6.the top 3 seeds in the AFC last year are fighting for WC spots so far this yr

7. rams got lucky last two weeks? or is the new coach that good?

8. clinton portis is the best back in the game this yr...

9. trent edwards, matt ryan, and skins young QB are the real deal...

10. if only we had an adrian peterson, forte, barber, grant, graham, chris johnson, lendale white on this team....if only...

I think the Rams always had the potential to be good, but geez, was the coaching really that bad? I guess I never gave Haslett any credit in the past. Maybe it really was coaching. If that's the case, Wade Phillips needs to go.lol.

This Johnson kid is really impressive. I get stuck watching alot of Titans, and this kid has it all. Speed, power, and he's elusive.

hmmmmm, I don't know. Without a pass rush to freak Collins out, I just don't know. They clearly have the best running game, and their defense is playing with alot of intensity. If the Pats are 'up' for the game, I think it would be a great game.

The obvious thing to me was teams that had good wins last week lost and the teams that got beat last week got good wins.

Like the colts blew out the ravens last week to get owned this week off green bay.

My only observation is that it seems that a lot of the teams play very inconsistent week by week. Like the Colts, they win big last week, and lose big this week. EDIT: Sorry previous poster, I never even read your post and it's close to yours!

It was great seeing the Fins and Jest lose this week, too bad Buffalo couldn't of lost too. A win tonight would put some more distance between the bottom 2 in the East.

Icing the kciker hardly ever works but coaches still do it and sometimes it back fires on them.

I almost died inside. Having to listen to more "Favre lobbies a comeback" talk would have made me sell my television.

Observations:

* The Pats are as good as most teams in the NFL.
* Our Backup is better than most back-ups.
* The Cowboys prove that a collection of individual talents doesn't trump a "team".
* The Bucs are a flat-out good football team.
* Peyton Manning is whiny and Brady might even outplay him during a year off, lol.
* Miami still sucks.
* We got run over by the Bolts, but that failed to prove they're better than us.
* I'm a freaking homer, just ask 50% of the poster here.

Are the Jet's that bad? I don't think they are - It's Mangini that suffers from suck-itis. How can a head coach suck in 2 out of 3 phases of the game?

There are really no elite teams...some ARE better more weeks than not but none like usual years...As the season goes on, there will be a mad scramble for the wild card slots in both conferences.. For once the AFC is much weaker than the NFC..The Pats will be in the mix if they can get it together a bit more...the titans may be undefaeted, but they are not a great team..neither are the Giants...Dallas has a ton of talent and like others said, not a great team; they don't jell...

If anyone wants to know why Cassel has not been cleared to just throw the ball around the field, outside of the game plan. Please see Brad Johnsons performance yesterday.
