Here, here!

13-10 in OT.....now that is a nice start to the season. Because I have to been to work at 5AM I fell asleep before the end....but a great start none the less. Good news for my Colts to have the Titan's down a game to start.

It's really bad news for the Colts because they have to face the very violent Titans two times.

Well, the Dallas defense doesn't seem to have improved any. Offensively, though, 20 rushes and 27 passes, so it's a fair mix in terms of play selection, but 26 minutes to Tampa Bay's almost 34 isn't good. Need T.O.? TD plays of 40 yards or more to 3 different receivers: Williams (66), Austin (42) and Crayton (80).
So it was a positive display for one game.
Now the bad news: Giants next week. As I type this, the Giants defense is manhandling Washington.

Dallas didn't look that good to me. The Bucs looked like they were lacking experience and talent in the secondary, except for Orunde Barber. The Eagles are the best team in the NFC east.

For now. I really like the Giants defense, but the offense still has issues.
A bit of poetic justice: Orton gets lucky while Green Bay makes Cutler look like he belongs in junior high.

Colts have to face the Titans every year twice and they are always a nasty bunch so I have gotten used to it. I actually had them picked to win last week. That was not that big of stretch given the outcome, but I also took the Bears to win in what no doubt was a moment of temporary insanity. Beat the Pack at Green Bay....what was I thinking. Cutler will get better, but the Bears really should have found an all star receiver to go all long with all star QB.

Must say the Colts defense took a step to make a believer out of me. Not been our strong point the last few years. New D.C. has them blitzing more, but still need to work on the run.

Oh it is so good to be back in football season!!!!

Well last year the Colts showed off their new stadium on Sunday night football and lost and tonight the Cowboys gave the nation a look at their new billion dollar palace and lost. Maybe future owners who get new digs will avoid Sunday Night Football. The new showplace is a little over blown in my mind...but hey this is Texas! The place was really something to see....but a billion dollars? But at least to two clubs put on a good show and the younger Manning is showing there is more then one great QB in that family. Well dad might say there are actually three pretty good QB's!

Well, Jerry Jones is an idiot if he honestly believes a new house will make his boys better.
I think that game more than any previous performance exposes Romo as either a QB who's only average at best or a complete idiot. I often question Jason Garrett's play selection, and last night was no different. But the balance was there: 29 runs and 29 passes. The runs were successful (250 yards), but negated by 3 INTs that led to Giants TDs. On the other hand, the defense played well (compared to what they usually do) but there was absolutely no pass rush.
People knock Eli because he's not as good as Peyton, but the guy is a gamer. Give him 2 minutes and a chance, he'll take care of business. Oh, and this blows the myth that they'll suffer without Plaxico Burress.
Kudos to Coughlin and the gang.
I think it was Madden who said it best: Good teams win ugly.
Speaking of the Colts, what an interesting contest tonight, eh? Amazing.

Without T.O. in the Cowboy offense, the Giants didn't have to expend defensive resources on one man. Tony Romo and Jason Garrett thought they could win games without one of the best route runners in the game. Romo is an average quaterback at best.

Miami needed to put more pressure on Corky Thatcher! At least, Corky comes through in the end. He's the clutch player that Romo needs to be like.
