- You'd better bring your track shoes if you're going to play the Saints.
- New Orleans defense definitely is looking Sharper.
- Kevin Kolb wasn't all that bad. He just wasn't all that good.
- T-minus one week to Vick relaunch.
- I think it's safe to say that Desean Jackson was the steal of the 2008 draft.
- Great tightwire act by Saints Heath Evans on his touchdown score.
- NY Jets: talking the talk and walking the walk.
- That shaking you felt was the balance of power shifting in the AFC East.
- It's incredible what coaching can do.
- Exhibit A: the Jets.
- Exhibit B: the 49ers.
- Both teams are playing with the persona of their coaches.
- Didn't you used to be the high-powered New England Patriots?
- You think Brady might still be a little hurt?
- He might stand upright, but he's not all right.
- The difference between Linus and Brady: both need a security blanket and Brady was missing his in Wes Welker.
- Starring in Nashville, The Brothers Johnson (Chris - 196 yards rushing and Andre - 146 yards receiving) playing their version of "Aint We Funky Now." (note: band from the 70s.)
- Chris Johnson and Frank Gore (207 yards rushing) served notice to Adrian Peterson that he's not going to run away with the rushing title just yet.
- The running of the bulls notwithstanding, Seattle defense the latest to be GORED to death.
- Paging Seahawks middle linebacker?
- Matt Hasselbeck's newest tatoo? Patrick Willis.
- San Francisco putting a stranglehold on the NFC West right out the gate.
- Nat Clements should pay for Julius Jones' trip to the chiropractor.
- Cedric Benson smoking in Cincinnati.
- Marvin Lewis has Bengals playing defense again.
- But for a fluke play, this team is undefeated.
- How can you not like Chad Ochocinco?
- Even Green Bay fans couldn't reject him doing the Lambeau Leap.
- Someone get Aaron Rodgers (six sacks) some Alleve, please.
- It seems everytime I watch, Charles Woodson is picking off a pass and taking it the distance.
- I just don't know if I can handle the Big Apple media hype that's about to surround Mark Sanchez.
- Mike Greenberg of "Mike and Mike" is in heaven.
- Sanchez this year, Ryan and Flacco last year. All three have screwed up the learning curve for rookie first-round draft choice quarterbacks.
- Then there's Matthew Stafford.
- More appropriate, then there's the Lions.
- Will this team ever win a game?
- Oh, wait, the Rams are on the schedule.
- Survivor tip No. 1: anyone playing against the Lions.
- Survivor tip No. 2: anyone playing against the Rams.
- Right now, doing just enough suits Brett Favre just fine.
- Seems like screen to Percy Harvin is going to be a staple in the Vikings redzone offense.
- Reskins MVP on offense: Shaun Suisham.
- Methinks this is Jason Campbell's last year in Washington.
- What good is it to have Haynesworth if your offense can't score?
- Does someone have a spatula to peel Ray Lewis off Phillip Rivers?
- If there's anything close to a heat-seeking missile in cleats, it's Ray Ray.
- The Ravens always seem to hit the right gaps when blitzing.
- Pay attention Cowboys.
- I don't why ever team doesn't adopt the Ravens style of defense.
- Next up for Ravens WR Kelly Washington: Dancing with the Stars.
- Nice moves.
- For whom the Bells toll? The Saints with a find in Michael Bell.
- Were my eyes deceiving me or did I see Reggie Bush make a play in the Philly game?
- Don't know if I can remove him from the milk carton just let.
- Joining him, though, is Shawne Merriman.
- He got a gift from the refs. He was clearly offsides when Anthony Cason intercepted the ball.
- But it all balanced out as the Ravens didn't receive a pass interference call on Chris Chambers when they should have.
- You want to see an example of the perfect pass, see Rivers TD rainbow to Vincent Jackson with three Ravens defenders surrounding him.
- Little Darren Sproules came up big - at least in the passing game.
- Didn't you used to be Norv Turner, offensive mastermind?
- Even Stevie Wonder could see that the Chargers 4th and 2 call was doomed to fail.
- Handing off to 5'6 Sproules with two offensive starters out, two first-time starters in and Ray Lewis blitzing.
- Texting Betty Crocker, we have a new recipe for "Disaster."
- All is right in Buffalo - Bills get a win, T.O. gets his touchdown.
- At least for NOW all is right.
- Marshawn Lynch may not get his job back from Fred Jackson.
- Although if Jackson serves the ball up like a hot potato again ...
- Tampa needs to better utilize its two talented tight ends.
- Good to see the Cadillac out of the repair shop and running smoothly on the field.
- Great game in Chicago.
- Too bad two of the biggest defensive stars - Troy Palomalu and Brian Urlacher - weren't able to play.
- Alex Brown stepped it up down the stretch.
- From here to zero, Josh Reed.
- He looked like he was holding back tears. Then again, Pittsburgh is known for its three rivers.
- Meanwhile, Robbie "good as" Gould delivers for the Bears, again.
- Steelers secondary let a rookie school it.
- Learning from the School of Hard (Johnny) Knox?
- Jay Cutler gets redemption on his reputation at least for a week.
- The Broncos seem to be doing just fine with Kyle Orton at the helm.
- I think we can forever retire the nickname "Mangenius."
- Kurt Warner: striving for perfection on the field (24/26) and off.
- Get comfortable in the cellar, Jacksonville.
- The NFL's version of death and taxes: A Flozell Adams penalty on Sunday Night Football.
- Cowboys defenders made Mario Manningham a household name.
- Mm good, doesn't only apply to the candy treats.
- The Giants have found themselves a receiver.
- A good day to be named Steve Smith, stats-wise at least.
- Someone remind Tony Romo that it's September not December.
- Stupid turnovers must embedded in his DNA.
- Jason Garrett's agent should book him on "Wheel of Fortune" so he can purchase a clue.
- How do you abandon the run up 24-20 with the ball at your forty, the Giants gasping for air and with argueably the best threesome at running back in the league? :rolleyes:
- It's becoming increasingly more obvious that the Cowboys won't win with Wade Phillips or Garrett at the helm.
- Say what you will about Eli Manning and his non-chalant gaze, but the guy is poised under pressure.
- Or lack of pressure, in the case of the Cowboys defensive front.
- I'm with everyone that DeMarcus Ware is a great player, but he doesn't seem to make that many plays when the game is on the line.
- I've seen LT, Ware and you're definitely no LT.
- Terance Newman is sssooo overrated.
- A cliche that has literal application: the ball didn't bounce the right way for Dallas (Romo's second interception off Witten's foot, it did for the Giants. (Manningham TD)
- Kansas City, Atlanta, Tony Gonzalez can play anywhere.
- Atlanta coach Mike Smith had a front row seat to a spectacular catch by Steve Smith.
- Matt Ryan reminds me of a young Troy Aikman.
- How did the Falcons get this good this quickly?
- Just wondering who would win a fist fight between Rex Ryan and Tom Cable?
- Except for a Leodis McKelvin fumble, the mighty Pats would be 0-2.

I can't believe I just read of all that...LOL

Nice sum up. I'm scared to jump on the hype of Jets, 49ers & Cutler right now. Just way to early.

Wow what Warner did yesterday was nice. I think this is the last year for Del Rio.
