The Chiefs inept offense goes against the powerhouse defense of the Bears today. The only chance of a Chiefs victory can be summarized in two words: Rex Grossman.

Soooooo what about the Patriots and Bellichek?
Ok, I'll admit the cheating probably wouldn't have impacted their 3 Super Bowls and all that....but it makes you think. 
 
All I know is, Eli is starting this week! I am stoked.
And so far....Eli has been playing pretty well.

Personally, I think it's pretty weenie. A team as talented as the Patriots shouldn't feel the need to cheat like they did. I think it's really tacky to do it against a team who has a coach that he harbors so much dislike for. The guy acts like such a jerk to Mangini after their games.

Well I said the Raiders would at least be respectable losers. Lost again in OT against the very hated Broncos. I cannot stand Shanahan. First he sabotages the Raiders when he is their head coach. Then he goes into Denver and beats them regularily.
Today took the cake...we kick a 52 yard winning fieldgoal( a damned hard fieldgoal to make BTW) and that b*****d supposedly calls a timeout a fraction of a second before the ball is snapped. So we miss the second try and they go on to win the game. I so badly wanted to wipe away the smug look of satisfaction off his face. I hate that prick.
what a chump.Angry

Glad the Ravens won today,they looked a lot better than last week.
 
Pennington might be out of a job though,because Kellen Clemens didn't play too bad considering it was his first NFL start,against a killer defense on their home turf.
 
I got a little worried towards the end of the game because the Jets were starting to rally.

Cowboys 2-0 for the first time in a long, long spell.  They get a real test next week against the Bears, though.  Romo looks like the real deal but T.O. continues to be an embarassment with his showboating.  Just play the game and grow up, dude!

First, last night pleased me immensely.  Big%20smile

As a Patriots fan, I'll post something from ESPN's Bill Simmons, an unabashed Pats fan, who summed up my feelings better than I could.  It'll be my only post on the subject.

"everyone's talking about the other teams and implying they were the victims. What about Pats fans? How did we deserve this? Our favorite team cheated, we lost a No. 1 pick, our coach pulled the football version of the Watergate break-in, our entire mini-dynasty has been tainted according to the outside world. ... Seriously, what did we ever do other than support a perpetually crappy franchise with a bad stadium for years and years and years? Do you think we wanted any of this to happen? All week, I almost felt like I did something wrong just because I rooted for these guys. Well, no more. Call them cheaters, call them villains, call them the evil empire, but it's still my team. You can't disown your team just because it does something sleazy, just like you can't disown a close family member for doing something sleazy. Your team is your team. I hate what happened, I think it has been terribly overblown, we paid the price, and we're moving on."

Don't look now but the Lions are 2 - 0.  8 more wins until Jon Kitna replaces Nostradamus as the holder of the most off-the-wall prediction to come true.

I thought Jon Kitna would have a big year personally.
I don't see anything spectacular about him....but he can throw the ball, has experience, and has an ungodly set of wide recievers.

As Al Davis's motto is..."just win baby"...as far as I'm concerned, cheating is part of the game. If you won some games because of it, all the better for you. The only thing they did wrong was get caught.
 
More rules have been implemented because of Raider infractions(stickum, wrapping your arms with casts and using them as clubs, spearheading, forward fumble, etc,etc...if it gives you an edge, then do it. . Personally I felt the penalty they paid was too harsh.
 
What needs to change is this "emperor of Football" that we have as our commisioner right now. He is out of control with his heavy hammer of justice. Ray Lewis can get by scott free when he got involved with the murder of someone, but Micheal Vick is going to get hung for killing(which is sick and very uncool, and I am not condoning this) some dogs. I think the NFL's priorities are a bit out of whack.

His last 2 or 3 minutes were pretty weak though.  Although one of the passes was dropped (Probably 'cause the Jets aren't used to a QB with any arm strengthLOL), there were about 3 or 4 times where he threw passes that would have been touchdowns had they been placed about three inches better.  Overall a great fourth-quarter for Clemens (the first three were pretty mediocre), but I would certainly not go so far as to say that this kid is gonna permanently replace Chad once Penning recovers.

The Raiders play Cleveland this week. A week ago I would have said they stand a good chance to win this game. Now, after Cleveland won 51-45...I'm not so confident anymore. I REALLY don't want to go 0-3.Unhappy

It is going to be an a very rocky year for the Raiders.  0-3 would suck but what I would like to see is improvement week to week resulting in a great second half. There was tremendous improvement from week one defensively, running game too just offensively and kicking game lost that game.  I don't think this team has enough to reach the playoffs but an 8-8 record with a good second half would go a long way leading to next year.
