Final Scores from the 2nd Games

Eagles 15 Steelers 6 wub.gif
Jaguars 23 Colts 21
Ravens 28 Browns 10
49ers 31 Lions 13
Seahawks 37 Rams 13
Broncos 34 Saints 32

boy did the eagles dominate the steelers, Big Ben was eating grass all day and was pounded into submission, that's a humiliating loss for a team thats known for running the ball and playing physical, willie parker was shut down and special teams did well, little things like that pay off huge overall, now we travel to chi-town. westbrook's anke isn't broken or sprained so that's a relief, good win over a top team.

right now its Dallas Cowboys VS. Green Bay Packers then Week 3 concludes monday night with Jets VS. Chargers

Congrats on your blowout of the cheaters Zatren. I can only imagine how good it feels for your first away win since 2006 against the pats IN new england and in such dominating fashion. And they also broke the 21 game regular season winning streak


Yeah, it was great. I was SO freaking happy yesterday. XD

The Chargers appear to back on track.
Our defense finally showed up this week and our offense is looking great.

I don't really have a favorite team, but most of the teams I cheered on got lost.

Steelers, although I didn't expect them to have a good year, since they sacrificed their line, so Big Ben could have a bigger paycheck.

Bears, they haven't had a good offense since 1990 rolled around, since 2000 they haven't had a single good quarterback, every quarterback in their roster since has been a 'back-up to a back-up' level quarterback.... their 'D' is good, they need to start drafting for their 'O', everyone is old or sucks. Forte is the best thing about it, and he's a rookie.

Packers ... need better protection for their team.

I'm uber glad Miami defeated the Patriots. I usually cheer on the underdog unless they're playing above teams, in which case the Pack and the Bears are usually the underdogs anyway.

That being said, I'm glad the Cardinals are playing like the team their roster shows them to be, that the Skins are on the up, and that the Falcons are turning it around from the disastrous (on and off the field) year they had last year. Next week I predict Philly easily walking all over my Bears.

I think Lane Kiffin is still the coach, for now anyway.

You can't blame that on the Bills. Al Davis has been trying to fire him since the end of last year.

Week 4 Power Rankings

1. Dallas Cowboys Next Game: VS. Washington Redskins
2. New York Giants Next Game: BYE (Oct.5 VS. Seattle Seahawks)
3. Philadelphia Eagles Next Game: @ Chicago Bears
4. Tennessee Titans Next Game: VS. Minnesota Vikings
5. Pittsburgh Steelers Next Game: VS. Baltimore Ravens
6. Buffalo Bills Next Game: @ St. Louis Rams
7. Denver Broncos Next Game: @ Kansas City Chiefs
8. Green Bay Packers Next Game: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
9. San Diego Chargers Next Game: @ Oakland Raiders
10. Carolina Panthers Next Game: VS. Atlanta Falcons

im gonna make a case for the bolts, they play oakland twice and KC twice, they can win those four. they Also play the colts and the pats, theyve had the colts number the last few years and Indy struggles against the 3-4 defense. the pats clearly arent what they were last year and the chargers have good shot to win that one. the broncos won off a terrible call against SD, and im sure at home, the chargers will be hungry for revenge. so i still think the chargers can run the table.

I think the game against the bears will be close. I respect their defense and westbrook may not play which means buckhalter will have top step up big. and Ive said a healthy Mcnabb gives the birds a chance to win every game, but i don't know if he'll be 100%. the key will be to shut down Matt forte, so far the Eagles Run D has passed the test, having the No.1 run defense in the leauge, considering theyve played against the likes of Marion Barber, Willie Parker, and Stephen Jackson. if they can get pressure on orton with the blitzing schemes, though i don't think theyll be as blitz happy as last week, theyll give guys like asante samuel, lito sheppard, and brian dawkins the chance to get turnovers. i think we'll win, but im not taking DA Bears for granted.

It's only a matter of time before kiffin gets axed, though he may stick at least for another week. but a blowout at the hands of the chargers could be the final straw for al davis.

Surprising week. *_* Chiefs win? Bucs win? Skins win? Damn upsets all around. And then Oakland wins against the Chargers...I honestly expected the Cards to win, but Favre was too awesome I guess. XD

Man, I was bummed out seeing my Packers lose like that to Tampa. I thought they'd have that game in the bag. Oh well, still early in the season. They can redeem themselves next week against the Falcons at home. They have the potential, but they just need to get the penalties and technical problems out of their system.

Well, that's my say on this week anyway. It should prove to be an interesting season for all of us football fans.

Gimme a break, 'kay?

I was pleased with Carolina's win. Kansas City is next week and a game they should win so I'm expecting them to be 4-1 before they have to play Tampa.

Linehan is probably gone in a couple more weeks at the most. The Rams are bad, really bad. They aren't just losing, they're being blown out every week. I think this was their closest loss this season and they lost 31-14. They almost have to fire him because he's the only one they can punish whether he's a fault or not, but really, I don't think anyone can win with this team. I don't recall even last season's Dolphin's being this bad.

I figured they'd at least win one or two games because they're division is so bad, but I don't know... I can't even see these guys beating even the Cardinals, Seahawks, or 49ers right now. At least the Raiders and Chiefs has won and had moments of competency. Even the winless Texans have at least come close.

The Rams are in a totally different league of suck right now.

Al Davis has been trying to fire Kiffin for since the end of last year. It's only a matter of time.

The Raiders didn't beat the Chargers, we won by 10 points, 28-18. Though, being down 15-0 at halftime was pretty scary.

Other than that, I agree with you. There were a lot of upsets today. The season in general has been weird. A lot of teams who were supposed to be good are under preforming.

Oh yeah, my bad, misread the score there. XD

EDIT: Update, Linehan has been fired.

well though i can't say im suprised we lost, im suprised at the mistakes we made. I can go the usual route and complain that westbrook and other starters on the offense were out, but im not making excuses. we had a chance to win, and didnt. give the bears credit, but we got 4 turnovers, you HAVE to win when you force that many turnovers. the secondary played bad in the 1st half, no offense to chicago but klye orton isnt peyton manning, you cant let him beat you. also we're too damn inconsistent on offense, you have to get 7, and you have to make those kicks, if akers makes both of them then we win. but woulda coulda shoulda, it means nothin now, we have no time to b**** & moan, we have a tough game against washington sunday, and if we make the same mistakes they did yesterday, then we are gonna get stomped

and im not surpised about linehan, i heard some reports last week that if they lost yesterday, he would be fired. Bulger and Jackson were against him, he had no shot of staying, but they need to realize the problem isnt just him, the whole team needs to take responsibility for their losses.
