I think that Baltimore is looking really good this season. Not just based on their performance in today's 4 minutes, but through the preseason also.

In my opinion, with how they've been playing, they could make it to the superbowl. Or at least late playoffs.
 
The games today seem to really show the impact the abbreviated training camps and practice have had.
Dreadful performances by some teams that should be better.
Mistakes, turnovers, injuries and general sloppy play.

Yes, they had 7 turnovers. I'm surprised they didn't lose by an even greater margin.

Without Peyton, it is going to be a long painful season for Indianapolis.

Cam Newton looked pretty good even though they lost.

somebody should break Ben Roethlisberger nose and ankle, he plays so much better with injuries.
 
Yep, poor Romo, the guy has loads of talent, but can't seem to get the choke burden off his back. I mean, a fumble and a pick to close out the game... sheesh. :(

JETS

What a freaking game....What a 4th quarter. The D and the special teams stepped up and made big plays when they had to. I'll take the W.

It was ugly but I'll take it. Beating "America's Team" makes it that much more special. :D

I will go against the Cowboys at any turn but I have to say the Jets were lucky, they're better than that. I do have to say that the center f'ed up so not all blame should go on Romo, this time.


And of course ... the Redskins won, this one. :p
 
My fantasy team's opponent this week was my co-worker who had Romo and Folk on his team. That fourth quarter screwed me no matter what lol Either Folk would win the game with a field goal, or Romo would have a whole OT quarter to pass more.

So promising early on. SJax with a TD on his first touch of the season. The pressure they were getting on Vick...then the injuries piled on. Jackson, Smith, Amendola, Bartell and Bradford. I was so pumped up for the Rams this season after years of sucking. Not looking too good now. I'm a little sad.:(
 
But wouldn't you prefer a Hooker? Sports position names are funny...

This weekend showed that the Defenses suffered most from the lockout, and Eli Manning suffered from the lockout, having no real 1st choice TE and a poor Offensive Line. I like Manning though, his INT on Sunday was his fault though, but hopefully something will click with him and his receivers at that 'clutch' time. He seems to get good numbers, just turns it over at the worst possible times or places.

Pierre-Paul looked scary out there for quarterbacks, if Tuck is back against the Rams, I think we might be looking at beating last season's 9 sacks in a half of football against Chicago ;)

Giants should rebound nicely against the Rams, both offensively and defensively. Eli should play better against a very weak Rams secondary IF the offensive line can stop a VERY underrated Rams front 7. As for the Giants defense, Jason Smith isn't 100 percent so expect the Giants (Justin Tuck specifically) to attack that side.
 
So much for all the hype around the Eagles
1-3 with losses to the Falcons, Giants and now the Niners

And look at those Lions... Matt Stafford is growing up
Gotta love my Dawgs doing well in the Pros
