Re: How'd Your Team Do?
Oh jeez, it's s true. Looking at both of those calls made me feel bad for what the league is doing to defenders.

Re: How'd Your Team Do?
My team had a bye....the bad thing is that Sean Payton's record is 0-3 after a bye and we have the Giants next week.

Re: How'd Your Team Do?
Hasselback is back under center and the Seadogs pummel the Jags.
of course it WAS the Jags but even so, shows how terrible Senaca Wallace is as a backup.

Re: How'd Your Team Do?
After an interesting weekend of football ESPN has released their "Power Rankings". What does everyone think?
1 (1) Colts 5-0-0 They're coasting into their bye week making a strong claim to being to being better than everyone in the league. (Kuharsky) 2 (2) Giants 5-0-0 Eli Manning learned that the best medicine for plantar fasciitis is a Sunday with the Raiders. (Clayton) 3 (3) Vikings 5-0-0 They seem to be growing stronger with each passing week. ( Chadiha) 4 (4) Saints 4-0-0 Just a guess, but I'm thinking Drew Brees will come out firing after the bye, re-establishing his MVP credentials. (Sando) 5 (8) Broncos 5-0-0 The Broncos have silenced more doubters each week to the point where far fewer are around. (Kuharsky) 6 (11) Bengals 4-1-0 Time for the doubters to shut up; the Bengals are pretty good. (Chadiha) 7 (10) Eagles 3-1-0 Against the Bucs, Donovan McNabb got back into a passing rhythm with youngsters DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. (Clayton) 8 (9) Falcons 3-1-0 Matt Ryan & Co. seemed like a playoff team during their dismantling of the 49ers. Take it as a good sign for Atlanta. (Sando) 9 (5) Jets 3-2-0 Braylon Edwards already looks like a steal of a trade for the Jets. (Clayton) 10 (6) Patriots 3-2-0 Tom Brady is out of sync with his receivers, but no secondary is more out of sync than that of the Titans, who are the Pats' next foe. (Clayton) 11 (7) Ravens 3-2-0 Two tough losses and now a road trip to Minnesota? That's harsh. (Chadiha) 12 (14) Bears 3-1-0 A 3-1 record, much of it produced without injured linebacker Brian Urlacher, is pretty impressive. (Chadiha) 13 (15) Steelers 3-2-0 Rashard Mendenhall is making his case for a permanent starting job. (Chadiha) 14 (13) Packers 2-2-0 They'd better have done something about their offensive line during their bye week. (Chadiha) 15 (12) 49ers 3-2-0 The worst defeat at Candlestick Park since 1967 will force the 49ers to reassess heading into their bye week. At least Frank Gore is coming back. (Sando) 16 (16) Chargers 2-2-0 San Diego comes out of its bye into a critical home game against Denver that could signal a changing of the guard. (Kuharsky) 17 (17) Cowboys 3-2-0 The Cowboys have miles to go to play better football, but at least Miles Austin made Sunday's visit to the Chiefs profitable. (Clayton) 18 (21) Dolphins 2-3-0 After beating the Jets with extensive use of the Wildcat, what's next, the wishbone? (Clayton) 19 (19) Cardinals 2-2-0 One of these weeks, Beanie Wells will announce his arrival with a 100-yard rushing performance and a long-term spot in the Cards' offense. (Sando) 20 (24) Seahawks 2-3-0 Beating the Cardinals at home in Week 6 would affirm Seattle's belief that the Seahawks can win the division with Matt Hasselbeck healthy. (Sando) 21 (18) Jaguars 2-3-0 A complete dud in Seattle could allow them to show us how they bounce back from big adversity. (Kuharsky) 22 (20) Texans 2-3-0 The Texans' never-ending identity crisis continued with their failures in Arizona. A trip to Cincy might be another tough assignment. (Kuharsky) 23 (26) Panthers 1-3-0 Beating the declining Redskins isn't anything to brag about. Carolina still seems like a bad team trying to find its way. (Sando) 24 (22) Redskins 2-3-0 Congress might have to hold a hearing to determine why the Redskins' offense remains in a recession. (Clayton) 25 (23) Bills 1-4-0 Against the Browns, the Bills' no-huddle offense proved to be the falsest start of the 2009 season. (Clayton) 26 (27) Lions 1-4-0 Don't let the record fool you. This is a better team. (Chadiha) 27 (25) Titans 0-5-0 Facing New England at Gillette Stadium coming off a tough loss doesn't sound like a cure for all that's ailing Tennessee. (Kuharsky) 28 (29) Browns 1-4-0 They had to win eventually, right? (Chadiha) 29 (28) Raiders 1-4-0 A pathetic showing against the Giants showcased a starting quarterback who plays as if he isn't capable and doesn't care. (Kuharsky) 30 (30) Chiefs 0-5-0 K.C. was undone by little-*known receiver Miles Austin in a game when it had a great chance to win. (Kuharsky) 31 (31) Buccaneers 0-5-0 The team that stood by Jerramy Stevens might add Matt Jones to the locker room? Not sure that's the right way to go. (Sando) 32 (32) Rams 0-5-0 The offense showed improvement with 400 yards and 27 first downs against the Vikings in Week 5, even though some yardage was in garbage time. (Sando)

Re: How'd Your Team Do?
Saints are awesome. Unstoppable offense.
My Bears a pretty good too. If they can win the division or a WC, maybe we'll see how they stack up against NO.

Re: How'd Your Team Do?
That was a humiliating display. Giants have always been a defense first kind of team. Yesterday not so much.

Re: How'd Your Team Do?
The Giants are great but yesterday they went up against one of the toughest offenses in the NFL. I don't really expect that the Saints will go undefeated but I think they've proven themselves to be a quality team and one that should be taken seriously.

Re: How'd Your Team Do?
The only good thing about yesterday's game is that it was played in October instead of January. We might be doing this all again then.
