Giants
Was to be expected. They haven't played anybody of importance. The Saints are a mission this year. I think they could go all the way.
Mark Sanchez decided to throw only 5 picks yesterday in a horrific loss to the Bills in OT.
The collapse of the Giants D yesterday really was surprising. The Saints have done this before, consistency to the end is the big question with them. Can they maintain this throughout the season and carry it into the playoffs.
Boy was watching the first half of the Pats vs. Titans game fun. I love watching snow football. at the network for switching to the Bills vs. Jets at halftime. Boy was that game a mess.
How about them Vikings! That was an awesome game to watch. Flacco and the Ravens looked impressive even in losing. Favre seems to be proving all the naysayers wrong. We'll see if he can keep it up.

Dan Fouts summed it best twice in OT of that game.."Do either of these teams want to win this game?" That was ugly,for both teams.
As a Pat's fan,visiting the Jet's boards after a game is like watching a never ending train wreck..

And WTF is with the Titans? Number one seed in the AFC last year to 0-6 going into the bye..
Agreed. Nobody wanted to win it.
We are trainwrecks. SOJ.
The Pats decided to go OFF on the poor poor Titans.
Did the Titans even get off the bus? I mean,they mailed it in at the kickoff. Welker was wiiiiiiiiiiide open on his scores,nobody even near him..
Thankfully I have DirecTV (never thought I'd say that) and the football package, so I was able to see the rest of the Pats game. Sorry Titans and Titans fans, that game was awesome in it's iron fisted crushing awesomeness.
Snow Games++
THANKS goes to the Bills for defeating the Jets and wiping the smug look off Ryan's fat face.

I wonder what Ryan will say in his voicemail message to season ticket holders this week...
Edit: Chris Jenkins out for the season..That's a big loss for that D

I'd like to see what Mangina uses as excuses for Browns fans & season ticket holders.
Belichick is taping me in the shower! *whaa*

Seriously, the Browns are a disaster. I don't know why, but for some reason I don't think Mangini has the same "new coach" leeway that I feel other new coaches around the league have. I'm not sure why, but I just feel owners of teams like the Rams, Chiefs, and Seahawks are going to be more forgiving.
Mannotevenkindasmart is finding out there's a huge difference in being a head coach than a coordinator. I'm surprised he's still HC in Cleveland..
Same old Jets.
Unfortunate. Hell, did Sanchez have 5 interceptions in that game? I wasn't able to watch but I thought I heard.
Yes, he had 5. Let's not forget the punter throwing one on a botched FG attempt.
Losing Jenkins for the year will hurt us a lot.

He's also getting a taste,via the media, of what it's like playing QB for the Jets. Tough enough being a rookie QB in the NFL,let alone in a market like NY. They're going to Oakland then have Miami at home before their bye..

Seriously, the Broncos are for real. Who would have thought after all the turmoil before the season with Cutler and Marshall that they would turn out this consistent. Orton is truly playing well and the defense is stepping up big. Last nights game was all about special teams.
Looking at their schedule the rest of the way I'd say that only 4 or 5 of the teams they are going to play have a chance of beating them. So at the worst they should easily be 11 - 5 or greater and that will win the division since the Chargers are their only competition.

Go Broncos! 6-0! Unbelievable!!!!!!
This surprises me, but good for the Broncos. If they keep up play on this level, or close to it, through 16 games, I think they have a legitimate shot at another ring.
The Vikings are surprising, too.
The Saints.
Who thought?
Now that baseball is over (great season), I will catch up on football.
For starters, poor San Francisco 49ers, I thought they would be better at this point, but there's still a lot of season left and they are only one game out of 1st place. It's the NFC West that I watch every year and 3-4 for the Niners is not great, but when the Cardinals top the division at 4-3, there's a chance for San Francisco to step it up and win that division. The Seahawks are not doing well at 2-5 and the Rams will probably not make the playoffs for sure, being only 1-7 at this point. Too much can happen in the second half of a season, and even in the last four games. What we have are mid-season, or nearly mid-season snapshots of who is doing well and who isn't. This picture will radically change as people, key people, do get hurt and fall apart in football.
But as far as the Vikings, my only concern is that Favre, as strong as he has been in his 20s and 30s, is facing age and while his mind is there, his body can't possibly take the hits it used to. Plus it's cumulative. He's done a great job in changing his game for his changing body. If he stays healthy, it would be a real "sticktoitiveness" story if Favre wins another Super Bowl. Old guys like me would feel real hope.
I can't remember a Super Bowl, AFL Championship, or NFL Championship where a man in his 40s won in a key starting position. There may have been a "first string" kicker in his 40s*** on a championship team, but I will have to look that one up. Brett plays like a man ten years younger, even though he doesn't look a day over 50!
*** Punter Jeff Feagles is the oldest football player to play in a championship game at 41 years old, for the New York Giants. Way to go. Favre is 40 and I have a strong suspicion he will have at least a good shot at winning the NFC Championship Game if all parts hold up. If Brett goes further and wins the Super Bowl for the long suffering Vikings, it will be all the more sweeter.
He holds every important/relevant record a QB can hold, except for being the oldest QB to stay on the roster, ala Steve DeBerg, aka Steve De "backup" who was rostered at 44. God willing, Favre will surpass both those middle aged milestones of Feagles and DeBerg.
Wow. That was an amazing game (Giants vs Chargers). Both teams did pretty well. I was hoping that Giants won, but alas, they did not. .
