Last year, Pittsburgh's defense was excellent and their offense was tough and consistent. Dallas has none of those things.

Well, considering they've played three games and in two of them their offense has bordered on dominating, I don't think you can say much of anything yet.Originally Posted by Raistlin
EDIT: 2nd in ppg, 7th in opponents' ppg, 6th in ypg, 5th in opponents' ypg. I don't see how you can draw any conclusions but good ones based on three games.
Haynesworth should be suspended for the rest of the season, and should be prosecuted for assault.

lolz raist is a funny
the Bears could go undefeated this year, at least in the regular season. you heard it here first.
as for my Giants, I'll be happy if they make the playoffs. they don't have much of a realistic chance of super bowling it this year, although there's the slight possibility. but the NFC east is tough, and they have one of the toughest schedules.
go ahead boys, rip me apart.
The Bears' next four games are Buffalo, @Arizona, SanFran, and Miami.
They should be 8-0 heading into New York to face the Giants and then the Jets the following week. After that they play @New England. It'll be tough to get through that three-game road stretch without a loss, but if they do, their last five games are really easy. Minnesota, @St.Louis, Tampa, @Detroit, Green Bay. In addition, the fact that the defense might be playing for a number of records might even encourage them to play out the season rather than rest for the playoffs (that's overrated anyway...look what happened to Indy last year).
I'm thinking 13-3, but with the schedule 16-0 isn't impossible...it's not like Indy last year who was playing Jacksonville, San Diego, and Seattle at the end of the season.
Go Bears!!!
Yep! Those stats are those of a pretty well-balanced team on both ends of the field.Well, considering they've played three games and in two of them their offense has bordered on dominating, I don't think you can say much of anything yet.

As for Haynesworth, I totally agree with you. He should also get the maximum fine. Not surprisingly, it appears there's a minor update on his situation. While they have yet to disclose his suspension and/or fine, one thing is certain; he WILL get the book thrown at for stomping on Gurode's helmetless head. We're talking a pretty stiff punishment here. We're looking at a four game suspension at the very LEAST! I wouldn't be surprised if he gets banned for life from the NFL (which is kinda stiff, but a message MUST be sent to all football players of all levels, nonetheless, as well as all other atheletes). And what he said in his apology about disgracing the team is an understatement; he didn't just "disgrace his team". He did more than just that; his actions cost his team the game!

I wouldn't say his actions cost the team the game - Tennessee got their asses kicked throughout, with the exception of the final two minutes of the first half.Yep!

But remember, Haynesworth is probably the Titans' best defensive player. Had he not gotten himself ejected, he could've at least put pressure on Bledsoe. Perhaps the Titans wouldn't have been blown out as badly as they were. Which is why I say Haynesworth not only cost his own team the game, but did so BIG TIME!I wouldn't say his actions cost the team the game - Tennessee got their asses kicked throughout, with the exception of the final two minutes of the first half.Yep!

As for the offense, well, what it all boils down to is rookie mistakes made by Vince Young. Sure, he almost single-handedly brought the Longhorns to victory over the Trojans in the Rose Bowl (in a come-from-behind victory, too) despite various injuries to the Horns' defensive team...but this ain't the NCAA! This is the NFL, and Vince Young wasn't up against an ameteur team; he was up against one of the BEST defensive teams in the league. Though I did see some stuff reminiscent of his play from last season with the Longhorns, (such as one play where he came DANGEROUSLY close to being sacked, only to exploit a hole in the defense and blitz forward just past that yellow line for a 1st down), again, he made some rookie mistakes, and it was his first NFL start, so I think it was expected that he was going to screw up. However, I think his most phenomenal play of that game came when he rushed for the two-point conversion HIMSELF! Now I think that's only foreshadowing the type of quarterback he'll become in the years to come.
Edit: This just in: Suspension update! Haynesworth is suspended for 5 games, which is an NFL record suspension for an on-the-field incident.

Martyball FTL! It's obvious Marty doesn't trust Rivers in those tight situations. Tomlinson may be the best back in the league, but you can't run him on every down. If that's his game plan he should be using Turner a lot more so he doesn't wear out LT.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
yay for the Bears win, that was smurfing awsome!
go Dolphins, way to lose to Houston. Put in Harrington!
oh, but the Dolphins will beat the Bears. They have the perfect record to protect.
Is it just me, or are the Cincinnati Bengals slowly becoming the Jail Blazers of the NFL? (And if you've been following the NBA for the last few seasons, then you know who the Jail Blazers are) It appears that some of the players are getting into legal trouble lately (with regards to both lawsuits and arrests). Here's a short list of the players in legal trouble so far:
- Chris Henry: marijuana charges, charged with pulling a gun on a group in Orlando, speeding and drunken driving, charged with providing alcohol to minors, over the course of several months in 4 different incidents over that time.
- Odell Thurman: suspended for the first four games of the 2006-2007 regular season due to a drug-test related suspension which Odell stated was due to him skipping a test, not failing one. He chalked it up to being immature. In addition to Thurmans's drug-related suspension, he was also arrested for drunk driving early in the morning on September 26 after the Bengal's victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. His suspension was extended to the remainder of the season as a result.
- Frostee Rucker: charged with two counts of spousal abuse and vandalism
- A.J. Nicholson: charged with burglary; previously arrested twice on suspicion of alcohol-related offenses
- Matthias Askew: subdued by a taser after refusing to move his allegedly illegally parked car (Askew was cut from the team during the preason games. He is currently seeking legal action against the officers responsible for his being tasered in a lawsuit worth $50 million after the charges were proven unfounded).
- Eric Steinbach: charged with boating under the influence.
This remind you of the NBA's Jail Blazers? Let's just hope it stops there before it gets out of hand, like what happened with the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA, which got them the nickname of the "Jail Blazers".
Actually, I am a bit worried about miami. They could pull it out of their asses. Go Bears, stomping on the Bills!
And the Dallas Cowboys' blue jersey curse lives on...the Cowboys lost their second game today. And it just so happens that they were wearing their blue jerseys.
Normally, Dallas only wears their blue jerseys in road games against teams that traditionally wear their white jerseys at their home games, such as the Washington Redskins, the Miami Dolphins, the Houston Texans, the Carolina Panthers, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And the Cowboys, themselves, wear their white jerseys at their home games. Dallas almost NEVER wears their blue jerseys except either when they're on the road against the aforementioned teams, or when their opponent deliberately picks their white jerseys in an effort to jinx them.
Well, the latter was certainly the case today.
It's interesting to note that BOTH times the Cowboys lost this season, they were wearing their BLUE jerseys. The other game they lost was against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Almost every time the Cowboys wear their blue jerseys, they almost always LOSE! Is this a jinx? I believe so...their overall winning percentage in the blue jerseys is lower than in the white jerseys.
Some of you may or may not believe in sports curses, but believe it or not, they do exist. Just take a look at the Madden Cover Curse involving the video game. Ever since NFL players started appearing on the cover of the Madden NFL games, something just had to happen to either the player on the cover, or that player's team, that ends up screwing up their season, all starting with the first game featuring an NFL player on the cover, Barry Sanders. He ended up retiring the same season he showed up on the cover, and his team went downhill from there. That particular curse, unfortunately, has continued, with Shaun Alexander, who is on the cover of Madden 07, injured and missing about 4-6 games.

I'd say Bledsoe being his usual dumbass self lost the game more than the jerseys did.
I thought Dallas was the Jail Blazers of the NFL. That's how all the old jokes go, anyway.
