LOL. IND just gave up a 80 yds punt ret for TD too. This is going to be ugly.

colts getting killed, falcon o is missing, browns waking up now, lions fighting back, ravens up but for how long, jags...meh, rams hanging, bills...wow.

Colt McCoy looking like Bert.

I went everywhere with this. First, Bert Jones, then Bert from Sesame Street, then I saw the score and thought Favre.

There will be a number of AFC South teams who will happily revenge themselves on the Colts this year while he is out. I doubt there will be much call for burning the clock.

Falcons might be slightly overrated so far, 28 minutes in. And the Bears are no fluke.

It's awful. Can't blame Manning's absence for the across the board failings but Collins is dropping snaps, dislocating fingers, and generally not playing football very well. I don't know how long they can hold out on that other kid.

Painter looked OK vs. the Pack. Hope that isn't the theme this year.

It was a play before that, a 40 yard completion down field after he outran a DE, but was hit as he threw.

[Guiness]

What is up with the Bills??? 20 points in the first half, and defense pitching a shut-out?
Just checked...they've started 3 of their 6 drives in KC territory, and converted two of them. KC fumbled away the opening kick-off.

vick just got killed by a blindside blitz

he can not figure out how to read blitzes at all

Yeah, well he was never really one of those cerebral field generals.

But I thought no one could design a defense to stop Vick!?

He said so:

Wow. Mndenhall fumble, short drive for TD on good pass by Flacco and good catch.

Then a 2pt conv out of normal PAT formation with kicker. Holder just kept it.

Gotcha. He has a rep as a tough guy.

[Guiness]

Vick is under 50% - 11/26. The Rams were gashing them on the ground

S. Jackson 2 rushes for 56 yards
Cadillac 10 rushes for 50 yards
B. Miller 1 rush for 12 yards

Jackson is out now, but the Rams gashed them on the ground in that first half.

Weird game. He is 11 for 26 but has 158 yards. Its like 1965 in that game.

[MadScientist]

Wow. Mndenhall fumble, short drive for TD on good pass by Flacco and good catch.

Why on earth does Balt go for 2 when a PAT puts them up 28-7. Just save the play until you need it.

[Upnorth]

Stupid atlanta stalls with 7 yeards left. Still got 3.

[Guiness]

Houson up 34-0. I wonder if they'll let up or pound Indy into the ground?

Rubbing it in. They are 2 for the last 6 versus Steelers.

But they are going to regret not kicking the FG after the Ray Lewis INT. Got nothing.
