INDIANAPOLIS - DEF - 27.20 points.

Oh yeah.

Things don't look good for the overs on the bears. On the other hand, I don't understand why a lot of sports writers were on the Raven's bandwagon. Their offense is too 1 dimensional and their defense is on the cusp of getting old.

Fox noted that team doctors felt it was okay for Jenkins to return to the field following the initial injury.

It looks like he'll be alright though. He only sat out like 2 kicks, and still got an extra point and field goal. I think he just pulled it, he should (in my expert medical opinion) be back to the old Jason Hanson next week.

But yea, the Lions are undefeated AND number one in the division!!

Since I was back in Michigan this weekend I was even able to watch the game, which was nice, cause I probably won't be able to watch another one till Thanksgiving. I think the team looked decent, but I wasn't necessarily blown away. If GB didn't have all those penalities it would have been a much closer game.

This was a good football week for me. My number 1 team won, my number 2 team won ('skins), and the skins win helped the lions out. Three thumbs up.

If the defense can cut back on all the penalties (Ahmad Carroll I'm looking at you) they should be able to do fairly well this year. Losing Walker is obviously a big blow but I think Ferguson and Driver can step it up and get the job done.

Worst case I see the Packers finishing 2nd in the division.

The Atlanta Falcons should consider moving to the NHL for two reasons: 1) They would have a better chance of winning a championship; 2) Their insecure tactic of having a scrub pick a fight with one of the other team's best players to get that player disqualified fits right in with the NHL.

How does that explain why the Eagles couldn't score more than 10 points?

	Most disturbing things about Eagles loss Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Their WRs Brown and Lewis were shutdown by a guy who can’t cover his way out of a wet paper bag (Rossum) and a guy who couldn’t make it as a cornerback for the 49ers (Webster). Solid start to the season guys.

Not that the players are all to blame. The abysmal clock management of Andy Reid in the fourth quarter only goes to show how little he learned from the Super Bowl. With 4:38 left in regulation, down by four points, having only one timeout thanks to poor preparation, and an injured quarterback, you DO NOT have time to be running draws following a huddle. Also, where was the challenge on the Crumpler catch over the middle in the third quarter? Sure the Falcons ran the play fast, but not fast enough for television viewers to not got two different looks at the catch. That’s plenty of time to reach around your stomach and into your pocket to get a flag, coach. Maybe I’m being harsh, but I am feeling as nauseous as I did last February and its only Week One.

Interesting first week.

Bears QB Kyle Orton's Passer Rating is just about the same as Michael Vick's, Brett Favre's, Jake Plummer's, and Daunte Culpepper's.

Vick: 55.7
Favre: 53.5
Orton: 52.8
Jake Plummer: 51.6
Culpepper: 49.2


BTW, I heard an interesting stat about the Bears' loss. They held the Redskins to 9 points right? Well in the history of the NFL, teams that have held their opponents to 9 points or less are 127-5 in regular season games. I don't know if that is including the Bears loss on Sunday or not though.

Time to realize that it's just a game. I got real pissed last year when the Rams got their ass kicked, and I started to get that way this week, but I've learned my lesson.

Falcons

Way to shut down the Eagles' offense. The Falcons would have won even with Trotter in the lineup. They were against Trotter in the cold in January and scored 10 points. At home field, with shutting down the Eagles Offense, they would have still scored 2 TDs. Or at least 1 TD and 2 FGs.

The real loss to the Philly defense was Corey Simon.

Simon is overrated. He had a very average year last year..

Trotter is huge against the run. He's the type of player that makes everyone take it up a notch when he's out there..

For Atlanta, this was their Super Bowl. They baited Trotter into a confrontation with a scrub, knowing that because the commisioner was there they would get ejected, so as to give themselves the edge they needed to win..

Uh huh... keep making excuses. If you wanted to win, you may have wanted to score more than 10 points.

You can only play the games on your schedule, and the personnel on the field. This is all "what if" posturing. A moot point. They played, Falcons won. End of discussion.

What's bizarre is that the Falcons nickelback that started the fight returned to practice this week and promptly got hurt, out for the year.

Just a couple of hours until week two kicks off...

The Bears play a home game against Detroit. If they lose this one and start off 0 - 2, it will be a longer season than most Bears fans anticipated...
