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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Also, Romeo Crenell seems to have trouble managing the game. Last yer against Pittsburgh he took a timeout to decide if they should challenge a call. He challenged; it wasn't overturned; and they lost two timeouts, which were critical.

Last night, he let too much time elapse in the final 30 seconds of the second quarter, and even though they were in easy field goal range, they ran a play with eight seconds, which was picked off.

I thought that when he was down by 7 with 3:20 in the game he should have gone for the first down on 4th and 7, instead of the field goal. They never got the ball back, plus they let 7-10 seconds run off the clock before taking two of the timeouts.

Goombah would be the best guy to weigh in on this.


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.
