Random Football Thoughts...

-Derek Anderson may be working his way to the bench. The high draft pick, Brady Quinn can also start 0-3 and throw 3 interceptions against the Ravens.

-The Bills have been very impressive. The Raiders are not good, but better than people think. The Bills have won big games thus far, they are not a particularly weak 3-0.

-It seems that the drubbing the Giants gave the Rams last week is more a reflection on the beyond bad defense of the Rams as opposed to the prowess of the Giant offense. Seattle learned today that playing the Rams is the easiest way to right a season that was on the verge of falling apart.

-O wait, the Rams are the second best way to right a season...drum roll please... the Kansas City Chiefs are having trouble remaining competitive. It looks like a USC Trojan vs. Sacramento State college football game. The Chiefs simply do not have the players to compete with other NFL teams. I would expect that Herm Edwards' seat is very hot right now.

-The NFC East is 8-0 outside the division and is clearly the best division in football.

-The Saints need to start playing with a sense of urgency. Last season was an utter disappointment and some critical pieces have been added. Shape up!

-Peyton Manning looks really bad right now. Do you want to know why? He is injured. Knees don't heal that quickly. He will get better as the season moves on, but his numbers will be way down from his typical statistical production. Fantasy owners who picked a QB early have had a rough beginning to the year. Drew Brees and Tony Romo are the only top QBs who have performed well this year. Peyton, Carson Palmer and obviously Tom Brady have all been disappointments.

-Finally, I have no clue how the Dolphins absolutely destroyed the Patriots today. Ronnie Brown essentially won the game himself. He scored 3 times on the exact same play. A direct snap and the run up the middle. I would think that by the third time the Pat defense would have gotten the idea.

  1. stupid question, but what does the dolphins beat down of the pats say about the jets inability to do so?

  2. I don't get that. That question can go in a merry-go-round. What does the Jets win over the dolphins say about the Pats and what does the Pats win over the Jets say about the Dolphins?

    It is a question on all three teams.

  3. you're totally right. i should definitely have included my starting premise that the dolphins aren't significantly better than the 1-15 version they trotted out last year.
