>When Denver hired John Fox in January, 2011, I said it was a bad hire. Granted, he's still replacing some people brought in by Josh McDaniels, but they have issues on both sides of the ball. Perhaps they should play every series like it's late in the fourth quarter and they're behind.

>Steelers losing to both Denver and Oakland stands out to me.

As a lifelong Steeler fan this season is becoming painful. I'm not throwing in the Terrible Towel just yet but they look bad. The defense has zero pass rush, no run D (rushing for 100 used to be a BIG deal now it seems any schmo off the street can get there in the 1st half) and the secondary is repeatedly getting torched. This upcoming bye week is desperately needed. Getting Harrison and Palamalu back is critical. On the offensive side Ben looks better than ever, of course he has to because they cannot run the ball and I don't know that Mendenhall coming back will make things any better. They drafted to fill in the O line gaps but the injury bug bit in the preseason and the line is pretty much the same as last year's patchwork.

0-2 against the AFC Worst is not good. Especially since I had Raider fan friends at the game yesterday. ;(

>Houston looks very good.

>Clay Mathews? Good player, but needs a haircut. IMO, the rule should be your hair can't go below the bottom of the helmet. I really do miss the days of the Tom Landry suit and tie. They keep talking about these guys being professionals, but people like Mathews and Belichick sure don't look it.

>>Saints 0-3. Maybe that shouldn't be a surprise after their offseason shenanigans but it still comes as a surprise.

>>Ravens take down the Pats in a wild one. I may be from New England but I love it when they lose. I can't stand Bill Belichick.

>>Peyton Manning is not going to be enough to rescue the Broncos, who are still a rotten team.

>>Packers at Seahawks tonight. Aaron Rodgers is the marquee player, and deservedly so, but the guy you can't take your eyes off is Clay Matthews. (Fabio, as my ex-GF in Wisconsin calls him). He has six sacks in two games and blows up the offensive line most of the rest of the time. He gives offensive coordinators sleepless weeks. It's always fun watching someone that good at what they do.
