Train Wrecks around the League

KC Chiefs

Lost Derrick Johnson and Danny DeVito to torn Achilles. A OL starter has biceps problems, had to leave the game and is questionable for this week. The OL was already bad with shaky depth. They were never in Tennessee game and fans bailed in the 3rd quarter.

Next: @ Denver, @ Miami (kc never wins in FLA), NE (tickets will be cheap and plentiful) and @ SF

NY Jets

Ya, they won. Geno fumbled twice and threw an INT. Then, he tried to escape the pass rush and was sacked 15 - 20 yards behind the LOS. The Raiders kept it close 7 to 13 in the 3rd quarter.

Next: @ GB, CHI, DET, @ SD, DEN, @ NE. Theres at least 4 losses in there.

Who do you have?

I had no idea that Danny DeVito played. He seems a tad undersized.

I still don't want to play KC when they are 0-3 which I think they will be.

So MIA will be going 3-0 to start the year I think...wow.

Not Danny DeVito!!! Ugh....what's his status for the next season of Always Sunny? Perhaps Verne Troyer could fill in?

Rams got pummeled at home against a five-win team from 2013, and were unable to score a touchdown against a defense that led the NFL in points allowed last year. On top of that they are a lame duck team; their lease expires after this season, and are free to leave for another city at that point; that could turn into a distraction as the season unfolds.

Ravens lost their home opener, now have the Ray Rice distraction to deal with while trying to prepare to play the Steelers on a short week. They could easily be 0-2 with both losses within the division, and after that five of their next seven games are on the road.

KC, as you mentioned is one worth mentioning. If you take their last eight games of 2013 and extrapolate that to a full season, then they would have been within two points of equaling Minnesota's defensive futility in terms of points allowed.

The Colts have a roster that is heavy on veteran players that are on the decline. The AFC South has become the NFL's weakest division, but they may have a legitimate challenge to return to the playoffs from either Tennessee or Houston this year.

Green Bay, new orleans both lost - teams that many feel are contenders in the NFC.

Ravens - a second tier contender in the AFC lost/released their best playmaker on offense

They beat nobody last season and lost to every good QB except Tony Romo and he is questionable.

Oakland never really tested the Jets Corners and pass D.

That's about to change.

KC is a mess.

Stop Charles to win.

I say we just run a midget package on obvious running downs. With DeVito being the NT (obvious because of his girth, and Verne Troyer RDE, and Peter Dinklage as LDE. Any offensive line would have problems blocking them, when they can shoot the gaps between the legs of big offensive lineman. Probably couldn't tackle a running back, but they sure could trip them up....LOL

I dunno, poor man's Mike Tolbert might be in play here.

Giants are a big pile of garbage as well.. that being said with the exception of the eagles the entire NFC EAST is one giant clusterduck..

Thank goodness that Patriots run defense is looking stellar!

Considering there was about 5 people saying the pats were making the superbowl on the pregame show right now the front runner for me the pats d-line and o-line.

Dallas are headed to something like 0-20

The point was that Alex Smith wont be as good as Tanahill.

KC doesn't have a Mike Wallace.

STL was down to QB # 3.

The Edward Jones Dome is a dump. Cheap plastic seats that you can bend with your hands. STL always gets what they want though. New baseball park built with state funds. I would not be surprised to see STL build a new dome for the Rams.

Giants look punchless and yeah Dallas is a hot mess. I thought Romo was going to cry or retire during his presser.

St Louis may as well pack it in...although they could be in the mix for the National Championship if they can somehow convince NCAA they are a college.
