Any team that beats New England is my new favorite team!

I can't fathom what has happened to the Bills. They were in the playoffs last year!

Somewhere tygrkhat40 is crying in his beer.

Also worth noting:

All 3 Florida NFL teams are undefeated.

When was the last time that happened?

And the Miami Dolphins are alone in first place in the AFC East.

Of course, it won't last.

Looks like the Giants are also another team that may be headed for a dismal winless season.

How can they lose to the Cowboys, a team with no offense and no defense?

Both were pretty bad and unless things improve they will join the Redskins in watching the Eagles stroll to the NFC East title.

Tampa Bay appear to have gotten out of bed as Winston's replacement for the first three games Fitzpatrick appears to have stolen the starting QB berth for the season on his current form.

And of course the Houston Texans are just doing what they do best every year:

suck!!

Nah, they get to play the Redskins twice, plus Dallas at home in the return match, Houston, Tennessee, Chicago, Indy, and the 'Niners. It being the NFL, you never know when a good team will sleepwalk through a loss to a bottom feeder. The Giants will win 3 or 4 at least.

The Bills and Cardinals are the only obvious basket case, but the Bears, Colts, Cowboys, Browns, 49ers, Jets, Lions, Texans, Seahawks, Ravens, Redskins, and Raiders are either continuing projects or should be thinking in those terms.

They did the second worst thing to losing to the Patriots.

Losing to a Mike Vrabel coached team!

Houston Texans vs. New York Giants this week.

Battle of field goals snooze fest and the last team to get a field goal before the final 30 seconds of the 4th quarter wins.

I bet a penny it will be 3-3 at half time.

Watching the NYJ vs CLE game.

What is with all these new stupid rules?

CLE WR drops a pass intended for him near the sideline. A NYJ defender picks up the dropped ball and hands it to him. The NYJ defender gets called for unsportsmanlike conduct which results in an automatic first down for CLE.

CLE QB fumbles the ball while trying to avoid being sacked, a CLE lineman picks up the ball and runs it forward for 9 yards. The 9 yards gain is nullified because in minutes after a 2 minute warning, a fumble can't be return by the offense for yards gained unless it's the person who fumbled it that did the return.

It is in response to this play:

NYJ RB scores a TD. He throws the ball into the audience. He gets called for unsportsmanlike conduct and a 15 yards penalty is added on the ensuing kickoff.

What the fuck kind of rules are these?

Then you have all these new rules where you can't hit the QB pretty much in every which way (no using the helmet, no using the shoulder) or you will get called for roughing the passer or unsportsmanline conduct.

Cleveland Browns just won their first game in 635 days.

How sad!
