Chris Simms signed with the Titans last week.

Well hell.

Give Testaverde a call!

Ronnie Brown had a wicked LT type game...

I could see Garcia being dealt to the Vikes and taking them far...

Bret Favre looked every bit of his 38 years last night. And then some.

Jets have an easy schedule over the next 5 weeks or so, but I don't see them as a playoff contender at all. Favre ended the game with good completion and yardage numbers, but everything he got was given to him after the game was already decided.

If the Jets have a losing record this year, will Mangini get dumped? His team fell far below expectations last year and even with the big names they brought in over the offseason, they look bad.

I agree about the playoffs, Klyd. They look completely uninspired out there.

If they end up worse than 9 and 7, Eric the Wonder Boy is toast.

Matt Millen has finally been booted out of Detroit. Man, I wanted to see which wide receiver Detroit was going to pick next.

It's been a long time coming. The Lions could never turn the corner. Hell, they never saw the corner.

Millen had the balls to claim that the Lions were a better team than the Giants, after the Giants beat them last season. Of course the Lions finished the 2nd half of the year 1-7.

Favre's eyes looked glassy to me...



Torry Holt? No -- that's something else. I am amazed that he lasted this long.

The NY Media had Favre and the Jets as Super Bowl contenders last month. Now they're saying Favre is washed up.

Detroit's fans finally got what they wanted.

Boring week for me, no huge matchups and no Colts games.

Matt Bryant's postgame conference sure as hell made me tear up...

You're absolutely right. I commend him for a courageous performance.

Now they're going to the Super Bowl again.

You gotta love New York... There aren't any other teams as far as that city is concerned.

How ridiculous is it to get a penalty for more than one person jumping into the fans?

Watching Al Davis look crazy in his press conference right now. Plans on not paying Kiffin, we'll see how that goes.

Al was nuts in the 70s. I saw him at a Hall of Fame induction in 1990, and he introduced Ted Hendricks and his presentation was bizarre and disjointed. He accused people in the crowd, whom he didn't even know, of talking about him behind his back. At first I thought it was an awkward joke. He actually looks like an old mental patient now. This is par for the course for Davis as Shanahan is still waiting for his money.

The NFL is more prosperous and vibrant than ever, and should certainly consider removing him from the league because he is an embarrassment. No legitimate coach would consider coaching his team as he will not honor the contract.

Oakland has played better with Kiffen, but the franchise is in disarray. They can't win with the unstable Davis pulling the strings.

Kiffin had potential as a coach but not with Al Davis running the team. No one could succeed in that situation.

I'm still stunned that Davis gave Gibril Wilson $39 Million.

Davis has brought some good talent, he rattled off some really good names so I don't think it's all AD. However, that team needs to stop changing coaches every two years, find someone, and figure out a plan for the next 5 years. The team does have talent; but they don't have anyone to captain the ship.

Al Davis needs to be dropped in the Bay and by someone who knows how to drop people in the Bay.

I suppose they could get Michael Vick to dog him for awhile.

Oh, what, too soon?

I used the word "senile" to describe Al Davis, but after listening to him in that press conference he is definitely not that. He's just about everything else though. What a vindictive slimy bastard. I can't blame Davis completely though because Kiffin was asking for it. It was very entertaining but Kiffin also could have been more professional in the public's eye.

All over talk radio since the conference, the same talk radio that is normally dominated by 49ers talk, has been full of Raider fans who are fed up of Al. That may not seem surprising but Al Davis has always had respect from his fans for what he's done in the past, but fans have finally had enough.

Broncos Offensive Line Hoping Uniforms Make Them Look Fat

Weren't the Bronco uniforms designed so that when linemen went into their three point stance they would form the Nike swoosh with their side stripes?

Al Davis is reminding many people in Toronto about former Toronto Maple Leaf owner, Harold Ballard. Here are some of the comparisons that I see between them:

* Both are (were) too meddlesome in their respective franchises as they got older, undermining the role of executives and coaches.
* They both enjoyed initial success when they began their ownership of the team, although Ballard wasn't full owner during the Leafs 1960's dynasty.

The Leafs didn't start to turn things around (to a degree) until Ballard died in 1990 and unfortunately that same scenario might be applicable to the Oakland Raiders.

I mentioned this in the fantasy thread a bit, how the Colts run defense is horrible but they have the #2 pass defense. Really it doesn't hurt them much if the Colts play like they usually do. They like to open up a big lead with their explosive offense and force the other team to play to the Colts' strength on defense.

The rust is off, the O-Line is healthy for the most part (Lilja still on PUP and sounds like having set backs anyway), time for the Colts to do what they do.

Yes, Crennel has not improved in clock management. In fact, he has regressed. In addition to the scenario Klydon described, he let some unnecessary time elapse when the Dallas game was still winnable (insert your joke here).

I agree - Marvin Lewis needs to go. This was a supposed defensive guru (like Crennel) who has been given ample time. The defenses for Cincy & Cleveland have showed little-to-no improvement. Plus all of the horrible personnel moves Marvin has overseen with the players who have been in legal trouble. A few troublemakers is sometimes unavoidable, but I believe that Cincy has had 8 arrests in the past 2 years, including more than one player with multiple arrests.

Carson Palmer's career has never been the same since the 2006 Wild Card game in which he was injured against Pittsburgh. He was on his way to playing at the level of Manning, Favre & Brady until the injury. Now the Bengals have no running game, so defenses can pin their ears back and go after Palmer. Johnson & TJ are having very off years.
