Tampa Sucks... They will be lucky to even make the playoffs at this rate.

I have been... they couldn't hold a lead against Indy... and chocked big time. And then lost to an average at best SF team. Faith has nothing to do with this... just the facts. They suck

They could be the Lions.

Ming speaks the truth. That was the game down here, and Tampa looked HORRID! San Fran, a pretty average team, was able to show how to deal with that team. Put pressure on Brad Johnson (that line isn't that great) by blitzing and the offense won't get on track. And on the defense? Run downhill and when pass deep on the one-on-ones.

It could have been MUCH worse if Owens didn't keep dropping balls (including one in the endzone).

I wouldn't be suprised at all if Parcells' Boys dropped Tampa.

--

Oh, and the Falcons are REALLY, REALLY bad. They may be even worse than the Bears... ok, maybe not that bad . But they'll compete with them for the #1 pick in the draft.

Don't look now, but St. Louis is coming back... with Bulger and Arlen Harris? Huh? They plug in anyone and they still win. Looking good down there.

Holcomb shows once again, that he is MUCH better as an off-the-bench QB than as a starter.

Does ANYONE in Philly or New York (Giants) want to catch Dallas? Speaking of which, how many deals with the Devil has Parcells made?

Minnesota is 6-0? Sign Mike Tice up to a long deal... he has Moss being a team player . Oh, and the Broncs need Plummer back, pronto! Beuerlein got hurt and Danny Kanell is leading the team now (don't laugh, he played better than Beuerlein).

Tennessee is showing themselves to be the most underrated team in the league. They totally took apart Carolina behind that suffocating defense.

Buffalo must be the most schizo team in the league. You never know which one will show up from week to week.

Just like the illegal block they missed on Dante Hall's return against the Broncos, and the holding call they missed on the spectacular Moss play at the end of the half, today?

Missed calls always happen. No use crying over spilled milk.

Exactly, badams. Whining over the officials should be fined over a block in the back when the same thing cost Denver a win a few weeks back is utterly silly. Until you got electronic referees, missed calls are part of the game.

They only get those right when it's a Bear blocking...

Seriously, I've seen quite a few missed calls on big returns this year.

I guess like most people, I only see calls missed that hurt my team

But I will say that the officiating this year seems worse than usual. I would like to see more consistant calls. I don't mind if the officials are going to call it tight, as long as they do it for both teams.

Joey Harrington's QB rating in yesterday's game:
7.1


BTW, I think Steve McNair is the early candidate for MVP. Having a stellar season this year, and it was great to watch a real team at the pub while the lions were getting spanked.

Naturally, it was Peyton's week off.

Naturally, I picked Harrington to start instead of Boller.

Good god, Harrington, you're useless!

And so is Joey Galloway, who did jack squat in the game despite the blowout.

Yes, McNair has been red hot so far this season, but there are a number of other players having a tremendous season so far as well: Peyton Manning, Stephen Davis, Ahman Green, Daunte Culpepper, Randy Moss...

Bill Belichick is doing an absolutely awesome job so far as well with (my favorite team) the Patriots.

The blame for this mess lies solely on the shoulders of Matt Millen, and he needs to be run of ****ing town immediately.

Consider:

The season before Millen took over, they were 9-7 and barely missed the playoffs. They weren't a great team, but mediocre.

Since Millen took over, they've gone 6-32 and have not won a single road game during his tenure.

He dumped good, but not great players, who were at least competent at their position, like Herman Moore, Johnny Morton, Jeff Hartings, Aaron Gibson, Terry Fair, and Brian Westbrook, and replaced them with complete busts like Az-Hakim and Bill Schroeder.

He needs to be fired immediately before any more damage is done

I think Tampa Bay is really banged up on defense. Lynch, for example, has a stinger. If they get healthy, they will be good again. I think.

It also looks like Carolina's defense is not as good as we may have thought. Also, Tennessee is looking like the team everyone picked as the Superbowl champion a couple of years ago.

The Vikings, it appears, are the class of the NFC.

What are we seeing, Minnesota vs. Tennessee in the Superbowl?

If Eddie George quits running like an arthritic turtle, I say yes, chances are good.

They wont make it all the way on McNair's arm and their defense alone.

Beurlein is a good QB. He did some pretty good stuff for the Panthers a few years ago.

He had a bad day yesterday. You can't expect him to win every game- he's a little too old for that. I think he can win 2/3 to 3/4 of their games and get the Broncos to the playoffs if need be.

Here's a tip folks.

If you have a receiver who is going up against the Lions' secondary...

KEEP HIM.
