The NFL looks more promising this season than even I thought possible. Thank yous to Brandon Marshall for showing up this weekend, and a shoutout to A-Rodge (who cares if it's his actual nickname).

Surprise 2-0's: Carolina, Tennessee, Buffalo
Surprise 0-2's: Jacksonville, Minnesota, San Diego
Lesser Extent Surprises: Denver, Arizona, Seattle
From the Denver-San Diego game: what's the point of instant replay when you can't even get the call right?? The ref blew the play dead when the ball came out, called it incomplete, but upon review showing it was CLEARLY a fumble, couldn't allow San Diego to gain possession because of stupid instant replay rules that don't allow the D to gain possession in those situations. Ugh. Stupid NFL.
The Browns are terrible.
Minnesota needs a QB in the worst way.
Dallas over Philly in a close one tonight.

The Redskins are the best football team in the NFL and will not lose another regular season game. Fact.

the vikings are lacking the 2 biggest assets of good nfl teams....coach and qb.
both need to go and go now. i said all along they should have promoted tomlin and got rid of childress. he can't coach his team out of an elevator. jackson is a lost cause. one touchdown wins that game for them but he craps himself every time he has to make a big throw.

False. The Redskins ARE the best baseball team in the NFL. They are the best basketball team in the NFL. They are not the best hockey team in the NFL -- I will give that to the Bills because I am gracious.

You're probably right on both Childress and Tarvaris. That being said, it doesn't help Tarvaris when he's saddled with awful receivers (last year), a worthless tight end (Shiancoe) and a bad system. Shiancoe catches that pass in the end zone, instead of dropping it, and the Vikes probably pull the game out.

Vikings looking a little better, though to be honest, I did think Carolina would run out of gas. Have to be especially proud of the job the defense did though.

They are not the best hockey team in the NFL -- I will give that to the Bills because I am gracious. The best team in the NFL would have smoked the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, Arizona has a decent offense with two great receivers and a quarterback who should have 4 touchdown passes a game, and okay, their defense is slightly better than maybe it should be, but Arizona is the kind of team Clinton Portis should have had Ronnie Brown's offensive day on. The fact that Santana Moss escaped rigor mortis (and being dead) to be productive should be highly encouraging for Redskins fans, until he gets injured. Still, losing to the Cardinals would have said a great deal more...so kudos.

I said this earlier but I'll say it again, I really think power has shifted back to the NFC.
However, the league this year reminds me of the NBA earlier this decade: some good times but mostly a bunch of crap.

As much as I love it when the Redskins suck, I am noticing one thing about this team -- since the stupid NFL FORCES me to watch them -- which tells me they will probably have a good season: they are very opportunistic.
Some can call it lucky, but every team gets a few lucky breaks each game. The good, opportunistic teams take advantage of the breaks that go their way, which the Skins have been doing the last two weeks.
It is yet to be seen if they can compete in their division (even though their record won't, I'll give 'em a mulligan on their first attempt), which is looking pretty damn strong, like the old NFC East, but credit where credit is due. I know a lot of Redskins teams that would have folded in the fourth quarter the last two weeks.

The Skins will NOT make the play-offs but will likely be much better than one or two teams that do. They just will never get enough wins in the NFC east to make it.
Opportunistic is definately a good term for the Skins, and thats Zorn, hes a gambler, man.

I will tell you who the "best" two teams in the NFL are. Some say Dallas. Before last weekend, some were saying the Patriots, in spite of losing Brady. But no, I have it figured out. The best two teams are the two teams playing Detroit and Kansas City. Those two teams stink.

It ain't gonna last (this IS, after all, Buffalo), but for now I would just like to say: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your undefeated, first place Buffalo Bills!!!We now return you to your regularly scheduled NFL season. Why won't it last Buff? I like what I've seen and they are strong in kicking game, defense, and have nice running game to help young QB out. Patriots are down, Jets suck, and Miami despite their butt kicking of Patriots--will not win many games.

the bills have as good a shot as anyone IMO. as long as the oline holds up and edwards doesn't make stupid mistakes, they can hang with anyone in the AFC.

So much for the theory that Millen had compromising pictures of the Fords. It's amazing that he lasted this long.
