OK...so here we go.....the games are about to start. Let's just say that I'm fairly comfortable that my team's going to be ok this weekend, since we're on a bye week and recuperating. I'm hoping Abraham gets healthy and when we return we've figured out what we're going to do about scoring in the Red Zone.

How're your guys doing?

Same old for the Browns: the defense plays a very good game, but too many penalties and mistakes on offense doom the Browns to a 20-12 loss.

The Browns may have a Pro-Bowler in waiting, however, in kick returner Joshua Cribbs. He almost broke two kicks last week, and had two more monster returns this week. Unfortunately, the Browns O-line was embarrassed by Julius Peppers and the Panthers' defensive line.

You're not the only one; in Phoenix all were getting is the Cards game. Has something to do with the tv rules, if you're home team is at home, you don't get the doubleheader game. Guess it would be the same with the San Francisco Bay Area with Oak and SF playing each other.

Hey, no offense intended. The 'phins always play the Pats tough. Harrington had a fairly good game, and the Pats, especially Brady, looked flat.

I just saw Bledsoe do what he did for 9 years in NE. Bring you to the brink of victory, and then screw up when it counts. No team with Bledsoe will ever win a Super Bowl.

New quarterback, same result, somehow the Cardinals once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at the new stadium. KC Wins when Rackers misses a 51 yd fg attempt. At least in the first half, the Cardinals actually moved the ball.

I have to wonder about this Maurice Carthon guy, the Browns offensive coordinator. I've been hearing grumblings about him ever since the first game of the season, and now I'm starting to understand.

He's a one-note joe, sending in Reuben Droughns over and over again when the poor guy can't get through the Panthers defense for more than 4 yards at a time. Frye doesn't get a chance to scramble and Winslow and Jurevicius are out there waiting for the ball. Why continue to waste both plays and precious time on a strategy that's only leading to three-and-outs?

We've got to mix it up more and take advantage of Frye's strengths. It's almost as if Carthon bought into the fans' worries about Frye's arm strength. The guy can throw the ball, even if mostly for shorter yardage and screen passes, so USE HIM for heaven's sake!

Another frustrating game, and yes, this time I actually watched the whole thing on television.

HOW 'BOUT THEM E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!! An absolutely scary good performance by the Birds in a dominating 38-24 win over the enemy Cowboys...while T.O. regrettably did not get jacked up once (they almost seemed scared to throw to him), it didn't matter as Bledsoe threw 3 picks, 2 of which were intended for T.O....I'll take a pick over an injury any day...and McNabb, as usual, was spectacular with another 300+ yard passing game...it seems that that Watkins in the Dallas secondary will be unemployed by tomorrow after getting burned badly not once, but twice...The Dallas O-line evidently sucks worse than I thought, as Bledsoe got sacked so many times I lost count, and it also showed that our incredibly deep D-line is just fine without Da Freak (Kearse)...only concern I had was our rush defense, it was leaky at times and Jones was consistently getting 8 and 9 yard runs, but that can be patched up easily...I think at this point I put the Birds as the 2nd best team in the NFC behind the Bears, who I admit are looking scary good this year...fortunately we won't have to tangle with them til the playoffs at best...

I bet. I figured Arizona would have a little section, but I didn't think the entire state would be cut.

Still....the Jax area is extremely isolated...and pathetic.

I have to wonder about this Maurice Carthon guy, the Browns offensive coordinator. I've been hearing grumblings about him ever since the first game of the season, and now I'm starting to understand.

He's a one-note joe

If you watch the Browns, on almost every single first-down play, Carthon calls for Droughns up the middle. It's reminiscent of Belicheck's "Metcalf up the middle" back in the early 90's. Defenses key on that so easily, that it's never going to fool anyone.

And THEN, when he finally decides to get fancy, he does so at the worst possible moment. Case in point today: Browns have a 3rd and inches, at or near the Red Zone, after a offsides penalty on Carolina. What's the best call? The shortest distance between two places is a striaght line, so let Charlie Frye sneak it, right?

NOOOOOOOOOO! Carthon calls a REVERSE to Braylon Edwards, who tries to throw a Touchdown pass to Winslow. What happens? The ball is incomplete, AND the Browns get called for holding on the O-line. So now, instead of first down, deep in Carolina territory, when you're down 14-6, it's 4th and 10, and you have to kick a field goal. And your best chance to change the 'Mo goes out the window.

This guy has got to go.

How about those Jets? One of the worst games I have ever seen. They truly suck. Pennington throwing floaters in the flat for a passing game is not going to cut it.
