I can't believe the Colts managed to pull that off. Miami must be pissed, no way they should be losing that game.
Not sure how HD feels about it, I mean a win is a win, but that just wasn't a great showing for the offense.
Mannings opening TD throw and final TD drive of 83 yards in 30 seconds or so is what saved them. Those looked like the easiest 14 points ever.

Wow, good damn game. Dolphins must feel like total shit right now.
Colts D got ran over, but they have a guy named Peyton Manning who's just plain amazing. A wins a win.
Edit; Oh, and GO BEARS! Nice win guys. Go home Steelers!

I had a mixture of pure shock and pleasant surprise when OchoCinco did the Lambeau leap. What the hell were Bengals fans doing right in the middle of the Packers fans? It's quite nice to see rival fans being able to sit together, you simply couldn't do that over here with real football, they'd get battered. Especially with Milwall fans.
Thing I'm enjoying most so far this season: the Pat's middling o-line meaning Brady keeps getting hit.
The joy of watching his smug face get smashed split seconds after passing is just immense.

Ummm...it was reported over here yesterday that Ocho met a fan on Twitter who agreed that he and his friends would attend the game in Bengals jerseys so Ocho could do his stupid-ass stunt properly. The only catch was Ocho had to buy the tickets - something he was apparently fine with doing.

haha, that wouldn't surprise me at all. Though I'd think that hardcore fans wouldn't like wearing the jersey of an opposing team. But for a free ticket? maybe.

Rankings.
All the big sites love to make Rankings and each week there is new rankings for all 32 clubs.
I am fairly new NFL fan and i am amazed by how much a clubs history counts in these rankings instaed of how they accually play.
I like Arizona Cardinals.....yeah i know, history isnt nice for this club, so i dont complain when they are ranked 13 after being in the SB the year before.
17 after a week 1 loss is also okay, since 16 teams obviously won in week 1.
Then in week 2 they go on the road and win. The week 2 rankings come out and the Arizona Cardinals are ranked 18.
I am going WTF and start checking the list and i just dont understand it. Is this a popularity contest or how the teams accually play.
Does sports racisme excist?
What do you think. Can some clubs just not catch a break or are the so called experts all on the Cowboys payroll.
I cant figure it out thats for sure.

The rankings in pro football are kind of like the timeline. THEY DONT MATTER! I dont know anyone who actually looks at those things, just gives sportswriters something to do i guess.
And yeah, i thiink there's a big bias for some teams, the Cowboys are always ranked high and they havent won a playoff game in a long while.

Well, I think it's more based on who's more likely to do well heading into the next week and the rest of the season.

Thats true too, and i'm not dissing the cowboys, they ARE a good team and are always ranked high, they just blow it in the playoffs.

Okay i will pretend that these rankings are like the Timeline. They dont matter!
But i dont like it.
Btw i wasnt just talking about the Cowboys, i just used them as example since they are also 1- 1 so far and still ranked top 10. I could just as well have taken GB/Chicago/Steelers/Patriots. I just dont get it why these teams are still top 10 after 1-1 start but Cardinals are 18 and dropping after a win.
THE RANKINGS DONT MATTER.....yeah i know.
I still think there is some kind of hate or racisme going on i dont know about. Just saw the rankings for how WR are supposed to do in week 3(according to 4 experts.) Randy Moss are ranked 1 this week and Larry Fitzgerald are 10. Okay that could happend, but come on, Moss isnt 100% healthy and Larry is. They just hate Cardinals.
THE RANKINGS DONT MATTER.....Guess you are right.
BTW are anyone but me looking forward to see Colts - Arizona Sunday? I am huge fan of both teams offense. They could light up the boards in this one.
But i dont like it.

I've decided to support the Ravens. Now watch them crash and burn.

Dang, if I was Favre, I don't think I'd ever throw another ball Berrian's way again. That was a pathetic effort yesterday (by Berrian).

He's really earning that hefty contract. You'd think Rice impriving, Harvin coming in and being great, and the best RB in the league all competing for touches would motivate him. Hell, you'd think working with a QB who can actually pass the ball would motivate him. But no, Berrian is poo.

I remember laughing a couple years ago when the Vikes gave him that big contract to get him away from the Bears.
Silly Vikings.
Cutler looked dang good for the second week in a row and the defense played just well enough to win. Looked pretty crappy the first half of the game, but pulled out the win.
One note from last nights game. The Colts D-Line made the Cards O-Line look like a Division II team trying to block them out there. Warner didnt have a chance.

D. Freeney beat the Cardinals singlehandedly. That was just amazing to watch. I think every team with okay pass attack and passrush will beat the Cards easily again this year.
Thank god every team downt have Freeney and Manning.
I am blaming Whisenhunt for this tho, not the players. Talk about bloated ego after last years SB run. Not hiring new cordinators when the old left is mindbogling.
