Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

And Phili is the sole leader in the NFC East. I point it out since it seems many talking heads picked them last in the division.

Yay Vikings! (My pick 'em score just went up by +1. )

The locals seem to have gotten off to a good start (Chargers 27, Raiders 0). Rivers looked better than I thought he would, but when you only have to throw 11 passes in a blowout win, it's hard to tell if that's a mirage...

I'll bet the Raiders and the Packers will be battling for the first pick in the draft next year.

I'm still trying to get over how Merriman totally owned the Oakland offensive line. The guys a beast. If he plays like that all year then we may see a new sack record.

And about Carolina. Atlanta made em look like a highschool jv team. If Dehlomme can't step it up more than that, they'll never dream of the playoffs.


Teams I was impressed with:

Jacksonville
Minnesota
Baltimore
San Fransisco


Teams I was unimpressed with:

Carolina
Seattle
Indianapolis

Oakland fans dress themselves up like a gang of brutish undead biker thugs and then their team gets flattened like a bunch of pansies. Man, it must be embarassing to put on all that gear and paint only to witness a performance like that. You gotta like that.

I give the early edge to Oakland here, at least Green Bay managed to display some semblance of a running game in their lopsided loss.

Well, its not like the Raiders just turned bad. This is the 4th year of them being relaly bad, so I imagine if the fans haven't stopped by now for being embarassed I doubt they will.

Just watching the sideline of the Raiders was telling (although maybe I just caught them at bad times). No smiles (even at the start of the game), no excitement, no enthusiasm - it seemed really dour.

Yeah, Favre is probably worth a couple of wins anyway. Not sure I could say the same about anyone with the Raiders.
