Some great observations.

I think New Orleans is pretty terrible. The whole team seems pretty out of sync.

The Patriots aren't really in the business of blowing anyone out anymore. Brady is definitely slower and it seems like he isn't throwing the ball all that well. There was a 3rd and goal from the 1 yesterday that Gronk should have had IMO (deflected into his hands) but instead they had to settle for a FG.

Brady just needs to reconnect with Gronk and connect with any receiver. If BB wasn't coaching there, they'd be an 0-3 team.

Andrew Luck is the real deal but he was also playing against a Jags defense. Cincinnati is also very good but I'm hesitant to trust Andy Dalton.




the first rule of making money is to not lose it.

It seems that most of the teams that look good one week look mediocre at best the next week and the reverse for teams that look bad one week play way better the next. I''m finding it hard to cap games because of this. There's really no teams that are clearly breaking away from the pack (aside from the few unbeatens), but again they may look mediocre next week.

Been that way for a long time.. Whatever team gels and gets hot at year end. could be almost any team.

Chip Kelly's system has proven to translate to the nfl and his science based methods work for conditioning..that said we NEED lane Johnson back in the worst way with a makeshift oline.. Foles can't be hit like that all year. That being said Maclin stepped up, Ertz is a baller, and Matthews will be good. We have another window now.

Bring the despertely needed super him chip!

Great Post

Fun stuff.

I think we have a better understanding after week 3.

It's interesting how we thought the Bears & Jets who play tonight are decent after week two.

Yet now that we've seen the Niners and Packers after week 3, we might look at them both differently.

Which teams are 3-0 vs the spread?

i think cincy is the best team right now....if dalton
plays in the post season like he does in the reg season they could have a dream season. same goes for HC lewis. seen some questionable calls from him.

PARODY is what helps keeps everyone's interest in the NFL - practically everyone enjoys a good laugh.

I agree with you, officiating has been even worse than what it was the last few years.

Even within the same game, the Refs have been very inconsistent.

It's getting pretty ridiculous.
