Well, glad it's not just my computer. It going to take a crap soon anyway.

My new laptop should be arriving sometime tonight! Can't wait. Have never had my own before. Hubby and kids monopolize the computer most of the time.

I'm from Baltimore and as far as the Ravens, they are nothing but a bunch of overpaid lawless thugs that do what they want when they want and have no respect for authority.

Lots of Raven fans overlook all this and seem to be searching for other reasons why they keep loosing. I hear coworkers conversations on Monday mornings at work and it is so funny to listen to them.... make beleive..... LOL

That doesn't make sense, but who thought we'd see the Bengals at 4-1?

The Bengals have an inflated win/loss record. Their first game was Cleveland, then Chicago, Tennessee and Houston ... J'ville was there first real test and they came up short. Fact is, Houston damn near beat them in Cincinnati. The next big test for the Bengals will be the Steelers.

Good for Indy, Cinci and Denver in the top.

Green Bay Packers (1-4)

That's gonna' leave a mark.

Nice to see the Pack win by a boat load. Let's hope they keep it up.

Go Packers!

The Cowboys will handle the Giants Sunday. I believe it will be a high scoring affair...should be fun to watch. Hate to admit it but Eli is looking very good. Ultimately, I think the Boys defense is superior to the Giants, and that will be the difference here.

Now the Colts are solidly the best team in the league with Pittsburgh right behind them. The Texans are just awful and I look for the Aints to mail it in now. Matt Leinart, where do ya wanna go? Htown or NO?

The Bengals have not played Tennessee. They played Minnesota in week 2, and won the opener because of 2 stupid Browns penalties.

I stand corrected ... you're right. I was going from memory, in any case the Bengals haven't been challenged all that much ... yet the sport pundits keep hyping their 4 & 1 record. If the Bengals were playing in the AFC west, at best they would be 2 & 3. Broncos for instance at 4 & 1 lost to Miami in week one, then beat San Diego, KC Chiefs, J'Ville, Washington and have NE Patriots next. Now that's a well deserved solid 4 & 1 record.

Hmm...thoughts?

Yeah, I got thoughts. I'm stinking up the joint in Yahoo Pick'em because Atlanta, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay can't beat some pud teams.

Thanks for asking.

He may find the hole(s) but it'll be hard to throw the ball there while laying on the turf.

I am a huge Bucs fan and I could not agree more. Way over-rated at #6.

Here's another thing I don't get: The Glazers fire Dungy to bring in a more offensive minded coach. Yet we cannot and have not put anyone away with the exception of maybe 4-5 games over his tenure.

We go out against the Jets and are running on 3rd and 12 (while behind) and we make our longest play (26 yd pass) as time expires.

This is gunslinging?

Agreed. The Jets defense knocked them silly.

Vinnie T.----"Training camp? Training camp? I don't need no steenking camp".

Watching this game I thought that losing to a guy who just climbed out of the Barcalounger was kind of embarassing for Tampa.

Well, the losing part is bad. I don't really mind the fact in and of itself it was Vinnie. One of his drives was 8 yds courtesy of (yet another) Griese interception. The Bucs "D" does a good job holding them to 14. The Bucs offense needs to loosen up and stretch the field. We should have just plain outscored them and won.

New rookie sensation out or no I do NOT understand why Gruden can't run the ball better---their backs are certainly good enough.

Now on a different note, the pounding the Cowboys put on Phillie amazed me---they looked like the Cowboys from the early 90s.
