You know they showed their true colors on Opening Night against a tough Titan team. Tough defense, hard-nosed running game, 4th quarter comeback = Steeler football. No reason to move the defending champs down at all after that performance.
The Giants showed that they don't need Plaxico Burress to win decisively against a good team, when they rolled over the Redskins. The score didn't reflect the dominance in all facets of the game that the football Giants exhibited. Big statement.
It's easier for me to believe that the Bills are a much-improved team, and not that the Patriots have declined that far. That game was scary close, and the Pats only scratched out a win because of an amazing amount of luck and pitiful mistakes on the part of the opposition. Tom Brady and company looked better than ever, but the losses of modern Patriot legends Richard Seymour, Tedi Bruschi, and Rodney Harrison seem to indeed be having an adverse effect on the defense.
The Eagles made the Panthers look like a Junior Varsity team. There's not much more to say than that. It was no contest. McNabb's injury is cause for concern, but the signing of Garcia numbs the pain a bit.
Absolutely crushed a playoff team. Prized LT Jake Long was abused by John Abraham, and really there wasn't much to take out of this game from the Dolphins' perspective. What we can say is that this Falcons team is for real. They dominated offensively with very little production at all from a top 10 back in Turner. That says something.
Looks to be a definite contender once again this year. This team doesn't have the defense to carry a team with anything but an explosive offense...Peyton has got to have another MVP type year, and be able to carry that into the playoffs.
I love this team very, very much with a good QB. They beat the hell out of the Browns last week with Adrian Peterson putting on an MVP caliber performance. If Favre can carry this to the late season, the Vikings are primed to make a big time postseason run.
Nothing on offense looked particularly impressive even against a thought-to-be weaksauce Raider defense with bad calls by the refs and rookie mistakes by JaMarcus Russell being the only two things between the Chargers and a devastating Week One loss to a division rival. I think this week was a wake-up call for the Chargers, who should be on their way to coasting to a division win.
Even against the Chiefs, you can't deny that the offense looked explosive and many more dimensional than last year. That combined with the famous Raven defense will get them to the playoffs again; maybe beyond.
Another win for the Sa
