HOWEVER. They play st lous next week and Brad Johnson is no slouch. If the pats can beat mediocre teams with Cassell then the boys can do it with Brad. But then they'll get trashed by tampa bay and the NYG before they get a bye week.

the eagles move down and quite frankly I agree with it. and props to anyone who thought the browns would beat the giants the way they did. like i said, the NFL is wide open.
Pacman Jones Suspended
and the hits keep coming for dallas
QB Tony Romo (finger) - On the first snap of overtime Romo was sacked by Chike Okeafor. In the post-game locker room he sported a heavy wrap and ice on the pinky finger of his right, throwing hand. The injury turned out to be a broken finger, and will likely sideline him for about four weeks.
P Mat McBriar (foot) - McBriar's foot collided with Arizona's Sean Morey on the blocked punt to end Sunday's game. Though X-rays were negative an MRI Monday revealed he had sustained season-ending damage to his kicking foot. He is expected to be place on the injured reserve.
RB Felix Jones (hamstring) - On his first run of the third quarter Sunday Jones went 14 yards around left end but slowed up near the sideline with pain in his left hamstring. He rode a stationary bicycle and stretched with trainers but was unable to return. He is expected to miss at least two weeks with a hamstring strain.
CB Terence Newman (sports hernia) - Newman had surgery performed by hernia specialist Dr. William Meyers about his in Durham, N.C. Friday. Jerry Jones said the surgery went well. The Cowboys expect the recovery to sideline him another four-to-six weeks.
Ouch that means rookie Mike Jenkins is the teams No.1 CB this week, that could be trouble, expect the Rams to be a popular upset pick.
another interesting thing to note is that besides the teams that had a bye, all Top 10 teams from last week lost.

Don't even begin to go there with the Romo comments.
You think they beat St. Louis? They should, but, hey, I bet Washington thought the same thing and they had they're starting QB.

And the eagles wouldn't do kitten. What the F.
Apparently they traded a 1st, 3rd and 6th round picks to detroit. Pretty much taking themselves out of next seasons draft. I wonder if T.O. continues to be a good citizen now.

Wouldn't worry too much. This doesn't solve very many of their problems. The reason they've looked bad is because their defense isn't playing well (and is prone to giving up big plays) and because Tony Romo is turnover prone, which has been true since he took the starting job. He throws too many untimely interceptions.
Oh, they've already been without their best corner (Newman) and now Jones is suspended indefinitely.
If Wide Receiver were they're glaring weakness then I'd be more worried. Besides, wasn't Owen's whining because he wasn't getting the ball enough. This isn't going solve that problem.

Dallas has 2 Roy Williams on their team now lol.
P.S. How the hell did my Bills jump to 4th? They didn't even play last week or did it have to do with New England's loss?

Process of elimination. A number of the teams ahead of them lost games (Washington and Dallas) they were expected to win or lost in ways they should not have (Carolina, really how are they in the top ten after that?)
This year more than ever, it looks like almost anyone has a shot at winning it. Virtually no one deserves to be called a favorite right now.

Seeing Belicheck look like this was soooo satisfying. I had the biggest smile on my face the entire game. Hopefully the chargers start playing like this every game from now on.

I am very pleased. This is the team I thought they were, not the one we saw last week.
Surprise of the day: St. Louis 34, Dallas 14. I know there were out Tony Romo... so understand the offense not being as sharp, but still, it's the Rams. Contenders shuodn't lose like this to teams like them. Even with Romo the Cowboys are in trouble. They're defense gives up to many points and even with Romo the offense turns the ball over too much for Dallas defense to play like they have.

Bills 23 Chargers 14
Panthers 30 Saints7
Bears 48 Vikings 41
Steelers 38 Bengals 10
Titans 34 Chiefs 10
Ravens 27 Dolphins 13
Giants 29 49ers 17
Rams 34 Cowboys 14

Texans 28 Lions 21
Packers 34 Colts 14
Redskins 14 Browns 11
Raiders 16 Jets 14 (Overtime)
the cowboys lost safety roy williams for the year, and newman better heal quick, or the cowboys could be 4-5 at the bye. the cowboys are a very vunerable team right now. the g-men looked good and imo are still the best in the NFC. colts and packers are both inconsistent to me so i still don't know if the pack are for real. bears and vikes put up some surprising numbers, the raiders get a win in OT. bills get a important win against the chargers.
maybe firing linehan was the right move? 2-0 with wins against the skins and boys.
the NFL is still wide open, we didn't learn too much about these teams. i think the falcons need to beat us to keep up wtih tampa and carolina. im not taking them for granted but we should win. in fact we need to. little room for error for us, and we need to take the oppurtinity to close in on the cowboys and skins

1.) New York Giants (5-1)
2.) Pittsburgh Steelers (5-1)
3.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2)
4.) Tennessee Titans (6-0)
5.) Buffalo Bills (5-1)
6.) Washington Redskins (5-2)
7.) Carolina Panthers (5-2)
8.) Arizona Cardinals (4-2)
9.) Denver Broncos (4-2)
10.) Green Bay Packers (4-3)
I know some of you would probably rank Tennessee higher but in my opinion they haven't proved anything yet. They maybe undefeated but I'd like to see them play some tougher teams and see how they do. Same with my Bills.

Patriots got a gift from Denver last night, but they still won't do ish against good teams.
Also this week, San Diego and New Orleans are flying over to London in the NFL's second attempt at promoting their game in europe. I

ts a better matchup then last years giants phins game. Although Reggie Bush won't be playing because of injury =/.
December 7th the Bills play a game in toronto
