Suck on that, Tom Brady! Not that I'm a Buffalo fan (even if Stevie Johnson's on my fantasy team), but not much in football makes me
happier than seeing the Pats lose.

Wow, I can't believe that Donovan Mcnabb has gotten even worse, and the Vikings have a coach that's even dumber than Brad Childress.
The Colts have basically turned into the Mud Dawgs. Their opponents should just get the lead, then kneel down for the rest of the game to avoid
Freeney and Mathis.
What a surprise, Vick is already whining and bashing the refs, even as they help him off the ground.
I'm starting to really hate Eli. Besides being dumb and terrible, he's also starting to visibly throw his receivers under the bus, like
when he gave the what the hell look to the receiver on the fourth and short, when it was Eli's awful Mcnabbian pass that screwed it up.
Stupid Jets. (And stupid autocorrect. Really, jeta turns into nefarious instead of Jets? What?)

So 4 TDs 0 INTs against the $40 Million secondary (approx) and you still insist he is terrible.....

Against an overrated $40 million secondary that can't tackle, yes. Or do you think he deserves credit for Victor Cruz breaking tackles and
making an amazing catch on a ball that never should have been thrown into double coverage?
Either way, this makes him 1-for-3 on good games this year. He did nothing last week against a Rams team that gave up 1000 yards in the first quarter
this week, and he lost to the Redskins.
So yes, even as a Giants fan, I think he's terrible.

Great job by Ryan Fitzpatrick acting like he didn't know how to play QB his first five years in the league. He sure had me fooled! Nice
work!
I watched the Panthers game at a local bar yesterday and there was a group of Eagles fans (this being Charlotte, home of the most transplants in the
continental U.S., there were also Patriots fans, Steelers fans, Jets fans, Giants fans, Saints fans, etc., etc.) Regardless, listening to the Eagles
fans screaming and yelling and carrying on any time the Eagles moved the ball forward (even it was for half a yard) solidified the fact that jackass
Eagles fans really do exist outside of the confines of Lincoln Financial Field.

That reminds me, McCoy seemed unstoppable yesterday. If Andy Reid wasn't so freaking dumb, the Eagles would have won for sure. Thankfully, they
still run idiotic short-yardage plays. Why come out with an empty backfield from the one? Dumb.
Also, seemed pretty clear that Vick was terrified of running yesterday. There were a few times especially on one 3rd down, where he had an easy path
to a first down but chose to throw instead.

I didn't get to see the Raiders game yesterday, but I did listen to it online. I'll take the win, and I am really liking Hue's
offense Run DMc should be on the short list for Offensive MVP so far this season. 19 carries for 171. He did have a 70 yard run, so take that out and
he still had 100+ yards at 5.+ per carry.
Defensively...... We really need some secondary help. Stanford Rout is an average at best corner, despite the payday he got. Chris Johnson is hurt,
and he sucks anyway. Michael Huff is hurt, Tyvon Branch is playing over his head and that is still at a sub-par level. Teams can throw on us all day.
And Tom Brady comes to town following a loss.... I'm not really looking forward to this one. Perhaps Seymour can fire up the DLine and get some
pressure on him.
Good thing is The Chiefs suck out loud, the Broncos aren't much better, and the Chargers seem to be as streaky as ever, plus their Head Coach is
still Norv. I think we can go 9-7 and I think that' will be enough to win the AFCWest.

Man, I hope Tony Romo gave Jaworski/Gruden some towels when they were done fellating him last night. Yes, it was a gutty performance but he made maybe
one big play, had less than 300 yards and no TDs and they're calling it the greatest win of his career. Ignoring the fact that the Redskins are
terrible and its not that impressive to outduel Rex Grossman, all the credit for that game should go to the defense and the run game. But nope, got to
talk up the handsome qb.
Also got a big kick out of the Vick talk since Keyshawn/Chris Carter/ Tom Jackson (three non-QBs) acted like the non-calls were a huge injustice
(Jackson seemed livid) but Dilfer (an actual QB) thought he was a whiney bitch. Funny, I don't remember those 3 guys getting upset when Matt
Ryan got blasted last week or when Aaron Rogers got concussed last year by a flying headbutt. I also enjoyed how uncomfortable Steve Young became when
Dilfer suggested QBs should expect to get hit in the face.
And speaking of toughness, I'm not surprised no one seems to be mentioning Brady dogging it on his pick-6 instead of going for a tackle. But
I'm really surprised that no one is giving grief to the Bills defense for not blasting him when they had the chance. Someone had him lined up
and pulled off for no reason. I guess that in today's National Football League, it's inappropriate to point out when someone needs to get
hit.

We are up here. That and the fact that he blames his WRs for anything bad that happens. Chad Johnson is partially responsible for 1 INT because he
ran a lazy in-cut, but beyond that, Brady was missing throws all day. When he has days like that, it's an uphill battle against people who
claim he never does anything wrong - but believe it or not, that's a smaller minority than it was even a couple of years ago.
The diva shit is starting to wear really thin. He's the best QB in the game hands down. But no player is perfect, and no player is above
criticism. It's been an interesting phenomenon watching the Boston area media and fanbase protect this guy like they have for so long.
They've never done it before with anyone else that I can remember. It's against their nature.
It's encouraging to see that when he plays a bad game, he's starting to get called out for it; just like any other player. No one should
be above criticism.
I'm going to hold on to one fun stat though. Brady has now thrown 4 INTs five different times. In each of the previous 4 seasons in which he
had a game where he threw 4 INTs, the Patriots went to the Super Bowl.
Also, the last time they lost to the Bills, they won the Super Bowl that season.
So there's that. I was nervous about the Bills going into this week. I'm also nervous about the Raiders in Oakland; but they'll
spank the Jets in Foxboro after that, go into the bye 3-2 or 4-1, and then we'll see after that.
I think they'll be ok, even if they continue to rush 3 and drop 8 like they did through most of the Bills game. My point? If you can't
cover anyway, why drop 8? Just blitz and maybe you'll hit the QB by accident.

After playing at a decent level so far this season, it was great to have the Rex Grossman I know and love back in Washington's final offensive
play. Even if it meant a Cowboys win.

When is Pass Interference not Pass interference. When the call benefits the Raiders.
PI flag in the End Zone. Spot the ball at the 2. Move the fucking chains, and THEN retract the call?
Probably lose the game anyway, but still, what kind of shit was that?

Wow, so I almost got completely fucked in my fantasy game today due to my opponent having Baltimore's defense...three touchdowns, three fumble
recoveries, two sacks, and one interception? Craziness.
And that was one bizarre game tonight, where both offenses (or at the very least, both quarterbacks) basically did dick and the defenses and special
teams put up most of the points. And the Jets got raped out there.
And because I always have to comment on the Panthers, tough loss to the Bears today. A questionable holding call on Shockey that negated a touchdown
which would have given us the lead was killer, as were two missed field goals (one of which was blocked). The rebirth of Steve Smith due to Cam Newton
has been fun to watch though and Cam lit it up again today. Now if only we could get a few more wins.

I'm beginning to buy into the Lions as a wild card team. I thought that division was going to be tough, but the Vikings are wretched and the
Bears will probably go 9-7.
Also, my Steelers are going to be lucky to go 8-8, I think. The defense is old and worn down, and while the receivers are great, the QB is like a
panicky chihuahua and there is no run game. The Ravens have that division in the bag and if they keep playing at this level, I think they're a
lock for the Super Bowl. I hate to say it, but there it is.

It means a couple of things.
1. They are going to Houston and going to win one for the Gipper.
2. No more crazy decisions an firings
3. Lots of black armbands
4. No more excuses, a lot of people think the Raiders are on the cusp of being great again but always used Al as an anchor. With his passing,
motivation and new found awesome offense I think they can make it to the playoffs

I sweated out that win. Holy crap do we need some secondary help. And someone to cover a back out of the backfield running a route.
On the plus, we're 3-2 and heading into a stretch of 5 winnable games (Cle, KC, Den, SD & Min). I was hoping to be 2-3 and expecting to be 1-4
through 5. As rough as we have played at time, we still are in the hunt.
And I love SeaBass. Seriously, can a Kicker be MVP?
