Watching the Seattle - Chicago game, I can’t help but think that Shaun Alexander is even more important to Seattle’s offense than I had thought. I took Seattle in this game assuming that they would have a good game plan to overcome Alexander’s injury; I was wrong.
Wow. KC made the 49ers look like the University of Colorado.
What the Titans’ DT, Albert Haynesworth, did to Andre Gurode wasn’t a penalty: it was an assault. Stomping intentionally on another player’s unprotected head is dangerous and criminal. It isn’t just part of the game.
It was pure luck that the damage to Gurode’s head wasn’t worse-and the only possible intent to that kind of an action is to injure someone.
Will the Raiders lose all of their games this season? It’s almost as hard to lose all the games as it is to win all the games in a season--at least, without intentionally tanking some games. Personally, though, I think the Raiders might just have the stuff to go the distance.
Hooray Houston! Here’s to Kubiak’s first win as a head coach. Unfortunately, he might not have too many opportunities to celebrate this season. Houston would probably beat the Raiders in a match, but that’s just setting the bar mighty low.
San Diego’s late-game breakdown must look painfully familiar to Bolts fans. Poor bastards.
Is it safe to say Kurt Warner’s career as a starting NFL quarterback is over? Sadly, I think it is.
Down that same road, what is happening in Miami? I thought that Duante Culpepper was the missing ingredient for a team with Super Bowl aspirations In all that I’ve seen, he’s looked unsure, a little slow with his decisions, and almost immobile. This isn’t the guy that Miami fans were hoping for.
For a game that was pretty tight throughout the first half, the Eagles sure made Green Bay look toothless in the second half. Green Bay--their one win notwithstanding--sure are giving the Raiders some competition for worst team in the league.
Speaking of Monday Night Football, the new Transformer-esque intro with the city that becomes a football stadium annoys the heck out of me. It’s overly long, it’s boring, and the product placement is pretty heavy. Be gone, I say!
Bret Favre is taking a brutal beating this year. Week after week, it looks like it’s going to be an ugly end to his career.

I’m boycotting MNF this year, and possibly for the rest of it’s entire natural life.
Or until they fire Joe Theismann, Michael Irvin and Chris Berman, whichever comes first.
Theisman is an idiot. Tom Jackson had it right; Irvin is a retard, and Berman has devolved into self-parody.
I actually found myself wishing that I could hear the dulcet tones of Dan Dierdorf again.
Dan Dierdorf! That’s how bad it is.
Wow. I guess I had to get that off my chest.
Haynesworth should be suspended for at least the remainder of the season. Ain’t no place in the game for that kind of crap.

Shut up.
Don’t mind me: it’s easy to talk trash when your team has a bye.
Meh, could be worse. It could be Padres baseball.
At least hockey starts tomorrow. Be nice to watch Dallas beat up on Joe Sakic And The Suspect Goaltending.
