Why do the Ravens always have to stress me out? A very rough start and a tense finish, but they pull it out.

Kansas City is literally running a way with the game at the moment. Man that rookie returner (Dexter McClusster) is amazing.

Love the fact that the jets lost. Maybe now they will shut up a little bit and realize that you have to actually win games to earn the right to talk.

Not sure what to think of that game though, was it just two really good defenses going at it, or are the offenses that bad? I think for the Ravens, their offense will be ok, but the jets I am not so sure. Mark Sanchez is bad. He is going to hold that team back.

A lot of upsets this week, sure makes the league a lot of fun.

Meanwhile the Ravens defense will not be at its historic best but should be more than enough for an unproven quarterback and an untested backfield.

Wooh! Nailed it exactly.

I think the Ravens came out of that game looking pretty good and the Jets came out looking pretty bad.

It was an ugly game, but the Jets really brought that rain of flags on themselves.

That was so stressful. Praise God I had the afternoon off to watch it. Our defense looked killer. Let's keep it up against the Jets next week.

Sorry, but I don't think that the Fins are that great, I think that the Vikes are just that awful. I've been calling them to go 6-10 all summer, especially after Brett came back. I've also been predicting that he throws 20 TDs to 30 picks this year. I'm looking good so far. He should have retired on top when he had the chance, because I think that this season is going to average out last season.

It would appear that Vick is back...



(His team might win if the D steps up).

Well... if the Titans weren't bound and determined to gift wrap the football and hand it over to the Steelers they'd be 2-0 right now. What a painful game to watch. The Steelers run back the opening kickoff and then do NOTHING on offense except kick field goals off Titan turnovers. The Titans D held the Steelers to 127 TOTAL yards. Man they must be angry with the offense - half the drives (7 of 14) ended in turnovers. Ugh.

~Aldin, hoping his Niners can have a breakout game against the 'Aints tonight

What this? No love for the Bengals? If they can get a little more offense going they could easily win the AFC North again this year with their secondary playing like they are.

I wouldn't count on it.

It's hard showing love for a team that has TO and #85.

I'll believe the Bengals might do well this year when I see their offense perform. Their defense gave up only 10 points yesterday and they *still* were two bad calls away from losing.
