What a finish to the MNF game...this is why I love football!

All that was missing was the Stanford band.

How could the Bills let that lead slip through their fingers?! Here's to another season in the crapper....and **** TO he did nothing.

He was double covered the whole night. And when he did get in single coverage, Trent never pulled the trigger. You guys did a lot of things right tonight. I don't think the patriots are anywhere near as good as they use to be especially on defense. Net time you play them in buffalo, and they take advantage of that single coverage, then I think you guys can beat them.

[Zatren6]

It certainly doesn't look like the Pats are their old selves. Could turn out to be an interesting division...

Bow down before me! AP is going to have a field day this week which means a lot of points for yours truly.

Kolb played decent in the 1st Half, but Special Teams mistakes made it easy for the Saints to run away with it. The defense got tore up, and Kolb isn't the guy who's gonna bring you back to win a game. If Mcnabb is ready to go next week, then he should start. However, I feel Kolb would be able to do the job against KC if need be. If the Eagles can go into the bye 2-1, I'll consider it a success.

Couple of upsets by the Texans and Bengals, and the Jets did what they said they would do by beating the Pats for the second straight game. The Pats look very beatable, they definitely don't look as dominant as they used to be.

[Sir Whirly]

Nice dominant game by my Cards, maybe they will keep it up and play hard against the Colts.

[FullmetalNinja25]

Bills win and TO actually did something I'm happy.

Scores from the late games yesterday:

Ravens:31 Chargers:26
Broncos:27 Browns:6


Sunday Night Football: New York Giants:33 Dallas:31


Tonight The Colts are playing the Dolphins in Miami.



Kolb did alright. Im not going to say he did enough to win, because he had trouble getting first downs at times,a dnw hile he didn't stink it up out there, he definetly isn't fit to start regularly yet. Against KC, fine. But I sure miss Donovan. And I hope the Panthers go 3-13 this season. Id want them to go 0-16 but they play our division this year.

Colts win 27-23. Hell of a game. MNF has actually not sucked so far this season. The dolphins had some terrible clock management at the end.

[True]

Surprising that the Ravens offense is the one that's actually benefiting and keeping us in the game when the defense gave up over 500 yards to the Chargers; you can see the effect of losing a defensive guru like Rex Ryan takes a big toll. However, with a bunch of new CB's it will take some time for them to adjust to the scheme and hopefully by the bye week they will get better and back to the defense of old. Still very impressed with the rush defense and the red zone defense as they don't give up many points there, but still need to be able to protect against the deep pass threat. Should not be allowing Vincent Jackson to catch the ball in triple coverage.

That last play with Ray Lewis was definitely impressive but I'd have to blame Norv Turner's horrible play calling. 4th and 2 and you run a HB draw with a 5'7 Darren Sproles? Really? What the hell was he thinking? At least try running a screen instead of running it up the middle without a power back.

Very glad with what the Ravens are doing so far with Joe Flacco improving his passing game (against the KC defense sure not impressive, but definitely so against San Diego's) and not afraid to throw the ball for 20+ yards. Will really be tested against the Steelers defense though. Hoping the team will become fully balanced once the defensive coverage is fixed.

Baltimore shoots up to #1 while the Pats plummet to 10th.

I hate to say it, but the Giants deserve to be number 1.

[True]

I'd agree myself since the Giants are way more balanced than the Ravens currently. But it's nice to see them as #1 after such a long time.

This just in: The Detroit Lions win their first game since 2007, in a 19-14 Victory over the Washington Redskins, who shall be the laughing stock of the NFL this week. Time to pop the Chambubbly!

I'm comfortable with the Eagles going 2-1 into the BYE. Mcnabb and Westbrook should be rested and healthy, while the next 3 teams the birds play are beatable. There's a chance they can be 5-1 going into the Giants game. Desean Jackson took another step to becoming an elite WR, so much talent, and he's only going to get better. Also, Brent Celek has been the Best Tight End in the NFL early on, he's really coming into his own.

Bengals 23 Steelers 20

This does my heart good.

Bengals 23 Steelers 20

The Bengals are better than expected, they couldve been 3-0 had it not been for that lucky tip against Denver.

Jaguars 31 Texans 24
Saints 27 Bills 7
Bengals 23 Steelers 20
Broncos 23 Raiders 3

Broncos 3-0, Saint continue to roll, and the Phins in a hole at 0-3.
