Umm...anybody still watching the NE/Ten game? I'm just glad I have Brady on my fantasy team...5 TDs and 350ish yards, so far!
 
WOW... Tennessee is absolute garbage! I honestly haven't seen a worse decline of any team in my life. They need to take away Collins starting job, put in Young and see what he can do, and try to get the 1st overall pick (not that they'll have to try real hard).

I'm watching, and my fantasy team is blowing up. I have Welker on the same team, so you can imagine how bad I'm winning.

Soon to be 0-6, I think the Titans will start playing Young more often to see how he is going to perform. They have nothing to lose at this point. Playoffs are out of the question.

I'm still down 30 points. The other team has 120 already! Think they'll leave Brady in much longer?

If Belicheat follows his past tendency, Brady will play until at least the end of the 3rd quarter.
 
Dang, looks like I'll be down by at least 4 picks this week, and WTH, now my Raiders decide to play a good game? I'll be down 5 if they win...
 
Yeah... Jeff Fisher's team has just imploded on themselves. Can't believe it has come to this.

Just checked the score... WHAT!!!! 52 points??? Holy cow... I think they NEED to take out Brady. The last I saw was of him getting hit at the end of the play... Just a matter of time before he gets hurt... No need to put your franchise on the line with this kind of score. (and to think I thought BETTER of the Titans...).

Arizona is doing WELL! Whoo Hoo!
Jets are finally ahead.

I really dodged a bullet when Minnesota and Jacksonville won. :)

Edit... Uhhhh. Now it is 59 points (NE 59 - Tenn - 0).

Bad spot... Oakland is STILL winning...
and BUFFALO just tied with the Jets...
 
Michael, are you still getting the NE/Ten game? How did Nate Washington get the reception for -22 yards?

I just turned back in to the game, I just couldn't bare to watch. I didn't see the play, but I can only imagine.

The Titans still have talent, but they are on a real downward spiral. Defensively they are non existent, and the offensive catastrophe couldn't have been predicted by a long shot. The O-line is playing alright, because Chris Johnson has played fairly successfully, and they haven't allowed a sack yet I believe. DT Jason Jones has 2 sacks, so Tennessee can't blame the lost presence of Haynesworth, and I believe Jones will be a good future player.

If I was the GM, I would definitely drop Collins. I would have gone out and made that deal for WR Braylon Edwards, or at least gone out and gotten DE Gaines Adams to help with the D, who was just picked up by Da' Bears! The trade deadline is over I believe, so everything will now have to be done in house. I believe that starts with at least seeing what Young is made of, and quite honestly, I believe this is the one situation in which Young can legitimately come back on the scene and win back the trust of his team.

This is very dire for the Titans, not only for this season, because that clearly is over, but for future seasons as well. Keith Bulluck is getting older, as well as quite as David Thornton and Kyle Vanden Bosch, arguably their three best defensive players.
On the bright side, they do still have excellent potential, but potential gets coaches fired, and no one predicted that they were on the verge of rebuilding. In fact, people thought this was the pinnacle of their success, and that this season was an overdue chance at reaching the super bowl.

Michael Griffin is a shadow of last years self, and you can blame that on a beaten up secondary, and inconsistent pass rush. Courtland Finnegan and Vincent Fuller are both out with injuries, so that leads to an easy day for Tom Brady.

I also think people are HUGELY underrating Brady, which is very surprising. If people remember, Peyton Manning came out of the gate last year having missed training camp with an injury, and people were quick to blame their slow start on him having seen his best football (now they're realizing their foolishness). But he came on very strong late in the season, and accomplished one of the best regular season comebacks to take his team to the playoffs.
I believe Brady is in a similar boat. People were WAY too quick to cast him aside after he started off fairly slowly, and although this is a weak secondary to pass on, I'd say that he is making that same rebound that Manning did after his slow start last year.

Man... I talk too much :)!

You're telling me!!! Donavan McNabb... Now THERE is an over-rated player... Every time I rely on him... he CHUCKS IT! :)

I wouldn't say people value him very well to begin with, so I certainly wouldn't call him overrated. He still put up 250+ yards, given it was on 46 attempts, and less than 50% comp.
Not to mention, if this loss makes you feel that McNabb is overrated, than I think you are underestimating the Raiders defense. They have arguably the best secondary, with Nnamdi Asomougha being the best CB in the game, paired with Chris Johnson. Safety Michael Huff is finally living up to his high draft status, and all of the DB's are benefiting from a great pass rush.

Honestly, this loss surprises me a bunch, but not from the standpoint of how McNabb performed. He's still fresh off of injury (broken ribs), and he performed well last week, his first game back I might add.
I blame the run game, or lack there of, on most of McNabb's troubles. Westbrook is severely misused, and I really don't think he'll ever be a productive pure runner. Without a run game, how does anyone expect Mcnabb to effectively use play action? a strong part of his game.

Look at what the Giants did to Oakland last week. But they did so with a well balanced offense, and strong run game... something McNabb has no control over. He simply just had too much pressure today, and that was due to the DB's being able to wait back all day, and there was no run game to help him out.

McNabb is far from overrated in my opinion, I think he did okay against a severely underrated Raiders D, and the run game was just not there today.
