Alabama is leading Arkansas 20-7 with six minutes to go in the fourth and they seem to be in control of the game. But Alabama was down 7-3 for most of the game and they didn't score a touchdown until late in the third quarter. Jake Coker threw two ugly interceptions, but he redeemed himself with an eighty yard bomb that gave the Tide their first touchdown of the game.

The Razorbacks are absolute pros at finding a way to lose a game in the 2nd half. Arkansas has become one-dimensional on offense, much like it was when Houston Nutt was the coach years back. We're completely committed to the run with hardly any deep threat capability at all. We got like this back when Houston Nutt had Darren McFadden and Felix Jones in the backfield. Defenses just end up putting 8 or 9 guys in the box and we're screwed. Combine that with a questionable secondary and I see us going about 4-8, maybe 5-7, something like that. I think Bret Bielema is a good coach, but I'm just not certain if his continued Big 12 style of football is going to hold up in the SEC. Personally, I don't think it will in the long run. As big of an idiot as Bobby Petrino acted like when he was the coach, we had defenses reacting to our spread offense instead of just plodding along.

The vaunted Baltimore Ravens defense made Browns QB Josh McCown look like a Hall of Famer. McCown threw for 450+ yards, 3 TDs, and no interceptions. Impressive OT win for the Browns.

Cincinatti also had an impressive OT win against a Seattle team that had them down 24-7 at one point.

It seems the two best AFC North teams right now are from the state of Ohio.

Another ugly win - but again, a win - for the Broncos against a team they should've stuffed into a side cabinet. Over the first five games, Manning has thrown for six touchdowns and five interceptions. The Broncos can win with Manning, but he's not the one to win the Big One. If it hadn't been for jaw-dropping last-quarter defensive plays in each game, the 5-0 record might be reversed.

Manning has been a huge, wonderful asset for the Broncos and the community. But his football time is painfully coming to a close.

I'm not done with it yet. ;-D I guess you can borrow it for the week since The Dolphins had a bye. I'll probably need it back next week.

I washed the bag but it still smells like Jets. ;-D
Hey, quit putting extra stink on that bag. I'll need it in two weeks when the Jets play the Patriots. :)

(Thanks a lot, Dallas. :()
