For those of us waiting for a "prove it" game from the Falcons, here it comes: they get a desperate Patriots team this weekend. |

That sound you hear is Jeff Reed in his garage with the car running. |

After beating the Browns and the Lions, the Vikings get a real test this weekend with a visit to the upstart Niners. |

I got my new dictionary today. I looked up overrated, and it just had the 2009 Pats team photo. Weird. |

The offseason's trendy Super Bowl pick doesn't even have the best record in their division. |

Blame their embarrassing loss against the Saints on McNabb's absence if you want, but last I checked he doesn't play defense. I think the loss of defensive coordinator Jim Johnson will turn out to be a bigger deal than anyone realized. |

This team has won 8 games in a row dating back to last season, and is 8-2 under Mike Singletary. |

How long until a Dallas player ends up on the injury report with a strained neck from staring up at that scoreboard? |

I hope Jay Cutler remembers to send Jeff Reed a fruit basket. |

This is as low as I could justify putting a team that hasn't lost a game yet. |

A really clutch performance from Kurt Warner to keep his team's season from spiraling out of control before it even started. Have to respect it. |

There's the offense we heard so much about! Unfortunately, that's also the defense we've heard so much about (Titans running back Chris Johnson had 281 total yards of offense on Sunday.) |

The Bengals are one flukey Brandon Stokley touchdown away from a 2-0 start. |

To everybody surprised they coughed up that game to the Bengals: remember, there is a reason this team went 6-10 last season. |

Another team that's just one flukey play away from being 2-0, they put a hurting on an inept Buccaneers team. |

Last year's 10-0 start is a distant memory. The defense that carried them last year was torched by the Texans. |

So, uh, I might have gotten a bit carried away when I declared the race for the NFC West over after the Seahawks blanked the Rams in week one. |

BOLD PREDICTION ALERT! BOLD PREDICTION ALERT! The Redskins will lose to the Lions this weekend. Consider yourself warned. |

Jake Delhomme didn't throw an interception in this game! He also dressed himself and didn't poop in his pants. Congratulations, here's a cookie. |

Was JaMarcus Russell the world's most predictable bust? I mean, was there ever even a question about whether or not he'd be a successful NFL quarterback? |

Watching the Dolphins completely botch the two-minute drill on Monday night as they tried to come back to win the game, I thought: When did Andy Reid start coaching the Dolphins? |

That game against the Raiders might have been the most unwatchable football game of all time. |

Why did they get rid of Jeff Garcia again? |

My strategy for my football knockout pool this season was to pick against Detroit whenever possible. However, I think this week I'm switching to the Browns (they are at the Ravens). |

If the people of Jacksonville can't be bothered with this team, why should I? (They were blacked out on Sunday because they failed to sell out.) |

Don't worry, Lions. I don't think you'll be in this basement for much longer. |
