Football

It's only the Bengals, but the Broncos are looking pretty damned good. The game plan is solid, Jake Plummer is looking good, Clinton Portis looks like he wants to make me forget about Terrel Davis, and the defense is staying strong.

Still, it's only the Bengals...

I think Plummer is going to fit in quite nicely in the mile high. Good for him.

How about those Texans today? WOO HOO

Kevin, I think you're right--although his second half was a little scary. I think he still has a lot of learning to do.

Shae, that was one of the big surprises of the weekend for me. Good for the Texans--and it looked like it was a really good game, too.

Nah, it was just the Bengals.
We'll see if you can hold LaDanian Tomlinson to 34 yards on 13 carries and David Boston to 2 catches and zero impact on the game, or similar performances against a real team.
Sure, it's just the first week, but the AFC West Crown will end up in KC this year.
And if so, someone seriously needs to repossess the "mastermind" label so incorrectly applied to someone who benefited from inheriting John Elway as QB and getting lucky with Terrel Davis.

Now, you can knock Shanahan on a lot of things, but he didn't just get lucky with Davis. Proof of that would be the string of runners that have set and broke records for running backs over the last few years after Davis went down. Shanahan knows running backs--and Clinton Portis, as long as he stays healthy, is the real thing.

Asid from that, I think that the only way that we'll know how good the Broncos are this season is to wait for a few more games. They have a tough schedule.

KC looked solid yesterday, but I think they may be in for an exact replay of last year.

It was a pleasure to watch the Broncos yesterday. Took me back to the good old days. Even Plummer's annoying tendency to throw the ball to the other team somehow made me nostalgic.

Heheh. Let's hope they can keep up the intensity and fix a few things on offense. They have the potential to be a good team this year.
