In the ATL win over TB. It's considered "running up the score" when a game is already out of reach and the other team keeps scoring. It's considered poor sportsmanship in the U.S. and Canada. Nobody told Atlanta that, lol.

Also, ESPN said that after week 3, the teams that have a 2-1 record have a 75% chance of making it to the playoffs. The teams that have a 1-2 record only have a 25% chance of making the playoffs. Hey, I'm just reporting the news people.

I SWEAR, if DA BEARS make it to the Super Bowl, I am dying my hair Orange & Blue for the occasion.

TNF: 9/18/14:
ATLANTA FALCONS VS. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

OMG is the first thing that comes to mind. It was just plain ugly. I did expect the Falcons to beat the Bucs but to the the tune of 56-14. So, I did get a chance to watch this devastation of a team by another.  The look on Lovies face said it all. We had players sitting on the bench, heads down, some wiping their eyes, it was just sad to see.  You can't stop the game because this is the NFL but I really do believe we ought to get the rule that the pee wee leagues have. Just stop the game before total annihilation!!!  It was not enjoyable to watch at all. TB should have known the party was over with the 35-0 score at half time. If that wasn't a sign, surely the 56-0 at the end of the 3rd Qtr had to be. It looked like ATL just stopped trying to score, I don't even think their hearts were in it at that point. Tampa Bay finally mustered up 14pts in the 4th Qtr but by that time, it didn't matter, I guess that was just to say they didn't get shut out. The thing that happened that actually overshadowed the score was Devin Hester's 62 yard return for his 20th, return for a TD, breaking Neon Deion Sanders record. He even was given a penalty for high kicking it in, Deion style. Which was just a way of saying, "you wrong for that, 35-0 & you high kicking it into the end zone." He meant no harm, he was giving Deion his props. I would have loved for him to have still been a BEAR when he broke this record. It wasn't the Bucs worse beat down. That was on Nov., 17, 1985 when they were cut down to size 62-28 courtesy of the N.Y. Jets. I am sure the Falcons are going to need some of the 56 points they scored the other night, later into the season. I am curious to see what they do next. Well, other than that, nothing more to say about this game. I'm still trying to get the game replays out of my head, just to painful to even watch and it isn't even my team. M. Ryan threw for 286yds & 3 TDs. S. Jackson had 14 carries for 54yds & 1 TD. J. Jones had 9 receptions for 161yds & 2 TD's. As you know, Hester did his thing and broke the record for TD returns. That's not going to happen again for a long time. GOOD FOR YOU HESTER!!!  M. Glennon threw for 121yds & 1 TD. B. Rainey had 11 carries for 41yds & 2 TDs. Dang, TB had a total of 11 penalties, costing them 110 yards and 5 turnovers. Just a sad day for them. I am sure a bunch of TB players were trying to get hurt, trying to get out of this game. SMH.

MNF: 9/22/14:
CHICAGO BEARS VS. NEW YORK JETS

How sweet it is to be loved by you, it's look sugar sometimes, how sweet it is to be loved by you.....oh sorry, I was serenading my BEARS on their 27-19 win over the N.Y. Jets. Chris and I both said we would win, 27-20, but I'm cool with the 27-19.

Now, I have to say a few things.  First, what was with all of the dumb penalties, I mean I know we had a lot of newbies out there, but come on man, this is football 101. They were doing some dumb stuff out there the lords of football let us keep this one. We had some key plays, catches, etc., but I would be lying if I said I wasn't chewing on the little bit of nails I have left. My one thought was, please don't bring Michael Vick into the game, he is much more experienced than Geno and would have given us an even more difficult time in winning this one. So to the staff of the Jets, I thank you. Now, not taking nothing away from Bennett, he has come through big time in the last 2 games, but being in the locker room complaining about what other teams or commentators say about you is just stupid. "I wish they would stop saying, oh yeah, that guy is a big guy, I catch as well as any other player out there." OK, stop the presses.  Bennett, I give you your props, you have made KEY, MAJOR catches and had you not made them we would have lost.  But really, I am sorry, you are no Brandon Marshall or Alshon Jeffrey. You are having a great start to your season and take it at that, enjoy it and keep on doing what you doing. It's your job to catch the ball if it's thrown to you.  Would you have anything to say if you were missing them?  Right at this moment, Kyle Fuller is the man.  He is setting his stat sheet on fire, matter of fact, I saw it burst into flames in Ray Lewis hands when they were talking to him on the post game show. He has been crucial AGAIN in our on the road win. THANK YOU KYLE.  Brandon is a trooper, he is the guy that if you cut off one leg, he will say, come on coach, I can get this, he NEVER quits until his body parts won't let him perform. Cutler, I think he looked good out there last night, so I don't have any complaints. I know he threw some catches where he had to be throwing to Kareem or Wilt, bring it done some man. The Jets defense, man, they were a tough bunch to get by, they stopped Forte like he was trying to break out of prison. Their coverage on Marshal especially was tight!  Hell, I thought Marshall had 6 arms & 6 legs through most of the game. That was not it, it was just all of the coverage on him. They shut him down. I think he ended up with 6yds, that along has to be an NFL record for him on least amount of yards in a game. Alshon, anytime you can dunk on the Willis Tower, there is pretty much nothing anyone can do about it. As soon as he shakes the rust off, it's game time baby!!  The Jets had me worried, I was more afraid of losing this one to them, than I was about the 49'ers. Once they took Kap out of his mental game, he couldn't perform physically. The Jets had 21 1st downs to our 17, 72 total plays to our 63, 414 total yards to our 257, 300 passing yds to our 197, 114 rushing yds to our 60 and they only had 6 penalties to our 9 which cost us 95yds & them 78yds. They beat us hands down on paper, but paper don't win games, people win games. Corny I know, it just popped in my head, lol.  Nuff said about this game, I mean it ain't the BEARS Blog, it's the NFL blog, at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. J. Cutler threw for 225yds & 2 TDs. A. Jeffery had 8 receptions for 105yds. Ryan Mundy got in on the party with a 45yd interception return. G. Smith threw for 316yds, almost 1oo more that Cutler, but it was futile. He had 1 TD and 2 ints. J. Kerley had 7 receptions for 81yds & 1 TD. The funniest part of the game you ask?  When Lance Briggs had to introduce himself to several players coming off the bench. He didn't know who they were. Our bench is running thin mannnn.  One of the writer's for the Sun-Times said that the way the Bears are playing now, they are starting to look like Lovie's Bears. I read an article this morning on ESPN asking, is it time to bench Geno? I'm sure Vick wants to know. But hold up, this morning, Eagles said Geno is there man, it's his team.

​NFC NORTH:

CHICAGO BEARS: 2-1

The BEARS went to 2-1 when we beat the N.Y. Jets on MNF, 27-20. Read all about it in the MNF update, directly above folks. We are now tied with Detroit, moving on up to the East side. 

GREEN BAY PACKERS: 1-2

Man, is it too early to say that the Packers are having a bad season? I mean it's only week 3, they could come back, right?  I sure hope not. One headline I liked in particular, Packers gets feasted on by Lions. Lions look confident taking this one, 19-7.  That pretty much summed it up. I watched most of this game, had yard work to do, so I caught the first half and bits and pieces of the 2nd half.  I am throwing up as I say this, Detroit played a better game. Rodgers just didn't get it done. Not to mention he was sacked twice. Rodgers said, "They've got a good defense, you've got to give them credit." How civil, they were probably cursing up a storm in the locker room. lol.  It's not like the Lions didn't give them ample opportunity.  Lacy didn't show up again, at least in my opinion, they were stopping him at ever point of go. The lions even had 3 turnovers and 6 penalties for 40yd and GB didn't capitalize on any of it. Matt said, "Our defense did an outstanding job of getting off the field all day. Against that group that they were going up against, that was pretty awesome."  So ends another battle in the NFC North with Detroit being the leader of the group up until MNF and my BEARS tied it up with them. Come on guys, there is room for two at the top.....M. Stafford threw for 246yds and 2 ints. R. Bush had 12 carries for 61yds & 1 TD. C. Johnson had 6 receptions for 82yds. A. Rodgers threw for 162yds & 1 TD. J. Nelson had 5 receptions for 59yds. Packers LB Clay Matthews left with a groin injury. GB had won 15 of 17 meetings with Detroit & were 9-1 with Rodgers playing, that's up until yesterday.  Guess the Lions got tired of that story.

​Also, I'm hearing in the Packers camp that Peppers presence on the field is felt but Eddie Lacy needs to step up.  Leave Lacy alone until AFTER Sunday's game, lol. ​

​

​
DETROIT LIONS: 2-1

Read about the cheese that the Lions had for dinner in the update for Green Bay. Oh yeah, the dummy of the game goes to Detroit Lions Middle Linebacker Stephen Tulloch who apparently thought he would try the "discount double check" after sacking Rodgers. Well, big boys can't drop it like it's hot, all that weight on your knees, he went down like a brick thrown into the water, fast!!. You guessed it, he has to have surgery for a anterior cruciate ligament. In layman's terms, he tore some stuff.  So much for the celebration.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS: 1-2

Yep, you guessed it, Minnesota lost again. Read about their 20-9 loss in the Saints update.

NFC EAST:

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: 3-0

Foles was viciously blindsided by Redskins DL Chris Baker at the end of a play. This caused Jason Peters to go after Baker. A bunch of Eagles rushed the Washington sideline and Baker and Peters were ejected after it was all over. After all of the feathers were done flying around, the Eagles came out soaring high above Washington. Baker, big ole butt said, "I didn't do anything, next thing I know I'm getting hit on the side of the head." Well Peters thought differently and let him have it. Rookie Jordan Matthews, the receiver who replaced DeSean Jackson in Philly, caught 2 TD passes and the Birds went on to claim the the NFC East at 3-0. That's coldddd, getting beat by your last team by the receiver that actually replaced you. And word around the Eagles crew, Sproles is the gift that keeps on giving, lol, I like that one.  The Eagles are the first team in NFL history to win each of their first 3 games after trailing by at least 10pts in each game. The last time the Eagles were 3-0 was in 2004, they went to the SB that year. They lost to the Patriots. N. foles threw for 325yds & 3 TDs. J. Maclin had 8 receptions for 154yds & 1 TD. K. Cousins threw for 427yds, 3 TDs & 1 int. That's a lot of yards. P. Garcon had 11 receptions for 138yds & 1 TD. A. Morris had 23 carries for 77yds.

DALLAS COWBOYS: 2-1

It's like I always say, it don't matter how much you win the game by, it's the win that counts. The Cowboys saddled and whipped the St. Louis Rams, 34-31. I bet that's one of the best looking 3pts the Cowboys have ever seen. Terrence William scored the go-ahead TD late in the 4th Qtr and Bruce Carter returned an interception for a TD on the next snap. The Cowboys made a BIG TEXAS style comeback after being down, 21-0 and ripped the game right from under the Rams. Nope, didn't see this one either but I know one little cow poke that is pretty happy, he lovesssss the Cowboys. You got this one Lofton!  Say whattttt, I finally see Dez name on the stats on the Sports Center app. You have to contribute in the game to get your props from them. T. Romo threw for 217yds, 2 TDs and 1 int. D. Murray had 24 carries for 100yds, 1 TD & 1 fumble. D. Bryant had 6 receptions for 89yds & 1 TD. A. DAvis had 327yds, 3 TDs & 2 ints. Z. Stacy had 12 carries for 67yds & J. Cook had 7 receptions for 75yds.

NEW YORK GIANTS: 1-2

Guess who finally got a win, the Giants. Read how the slayed the Texans 30-17.

I guess Eli don't have to go to counseling this week, he may be able to pull through and lift his head up before it's all over. They needed this win really bad. I am sure that the Texans, thought they had this, they are 2-1 right now, leading the AFC South.

I remember reading an article after Week 1 saying that Eli had not gotten use to the new play calls by the new OC, Ben McAdoo.  Seems Eli knows them now. McAdoo called the same exact play, 3 times straight which netted 10, 13 & 4yds. The Giants already had shut the Texans down with a 14-0 lead going into halftime. That series of plays set the Giants up for a 39yd FG and the lead exploded 17-0. It worked out well considering that it was not something they practiced all spring and summer, it was a play they added specifically to the game plan for the Texans. The Giants learned a little something about the way the new OC operates.  If it's working, he's going to call it until the opposition proves they can stop it. E. Manning threw for 234yds & 2 TDs. R. Jennings had 34 carries for 176yds & 1 TD. Bringing up the end was V. Cruz with 5 receptions for 107yds & 1 TD. R. Fitzpatrick threw for 289yds, 1 TD and dang, 3 ints. A. Blue had 13 carries for 78yds in this losing effort. D. Hopkins had 6 receptions for 116yds.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS: 1-2

Pushing & shoving, late hits and a brawl.  No this is not WWE this was the game the Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles played. The Eagles came out on top 37-34, I think the won the brawl as well. Check it out in the Eagles update. .

NFC SOUTH:

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: 1-2

Brees and the Saints celebrated their home opener with a 20-9 victory while the Vikings were left still looking for a running game in the absence of A. Peterson andddddd a rookie QB to boot.  They loss Matt Cassel with a foot injury early in the 2nd Qtr.  I don't see this going any better for the Vikings at all. Brees didn't take to kindly to Captain Munnerly swinging him into the turf and safety Robert Blanton piled on. Drew got up ready to beat the crap out of them, instead, he beat them on the field and I am sure that hurts a lot more. Colston had 2 catches for 25yds, one week after he was held without a catch for the first time in 87 games. The score with Colston marked connect # 64.  It moved Brees and Colston ahead of the HOF pair of Johnny Unitas and receiver Raymond Berry. The writers said that Brees looked comfortable early on, really, you playing the Vikings, you could have sat on a lawn chair and sipped a mint julep and still won. D. Brees threw for 293yds & 2 TDs. K. Robinson had 18 carries for 69yds & B. Cooks had 8 receptions for 74yds. T. Bridgewater, who by the way looked like a deer in headlights, threw for 150yds and was sacked twice if I recall correctly.  G. Jennings had 5 receptions for 70yds.

CAROLINA PANTHERS: 2-1

I am sure with the way the Steelers been playing lately, the Panthers thought this would be another one in the win column. Big Ben had other plans. The Steelers won this one convincingly, 37-19.  I just wanna know if Cam cried. LOL. Read about it in the Steelers update.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: 0-3

:o(( read about the embarrassing 56-14 loss to the Falcons in the TNF update. Grown men crying, players not wanting to go back on the field, just awful.

AT​

​LANTA FALCONS: 2-1

Read about the 56-14 slaughter of the Tampa Bay Bucs in the TNF update. Also my guy Hester broke the NFL records. It's all there in the update.

NFC WEST:

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: 2-1

The Seahawks again let the Denver Broncos know what time it is. Right now Wilson is saying, "Whose your daddy."  The Broncos dropped this one 26-20 but not without a fight, this time they played a good game. No, this was not the SB rematch. Think about it, if it was, would Denver now get the ring and the trophy? NO!  This is just what it was, their first game against each other after the beating Seattle bestowed upon them in the Super Bowl. I wish the announcers would make up their minds on Seattle though. When they lose it goes like this, "This is a young team and they are still learning each other, etc., etc., etc." When they win, it's goes something like this, "These guys have so much experience on this team, they know what they are doing, they have been together for a few years and they are here to stay."  Ok, so what is it, young and still learning or experienced and got it together, they can't be both, I'm just saying. When they lose, call it what it is, a loss, no excuses, take it like an "experienced" team.  I couldn't believe one headline that read, "The Seahawks are suffering from their first lost this season."  Suffering? Suffering is when you can't quite pull that zipper up on your favorite pair of jeans, that's something to cry about, not that I would know about that, lol. I do. The media, they make it so dramatic. I guess they have to sale papers.  No one person stood out in particular to me except, I guess Russell Wilson. Neither Sherman or Lynch exploded. Lynch did have 1 TD to his credit. The game did end in OT. The whole Denver team played a good game and did not look as if they had never seen a FB in their life. I still can't get over the terrible SB. I tell you this, if these two make it back to the SB, my money is on the Broncos. R. Wilson threw for 258yds, 2 TDs & 1 int. M. Lynch had 26 carries for 88yds & 1 TD. D. Baldwin had 4 receptions for 56yds. P. Manning threw for 303yds, 2 TDs & 1 int. M. Ball had 14 carries for 38yds & 1 fumble. E. Sanders had 11 receptions for 149yds.

SAN FRANCISCO 49'ERS: 1-2

I need a doctor, call me a doctor, doctor, doctor. Seem like different teams are taking turns on breaking records on the 49'ers. The Bears did it, with the win last Monday. Then the Arizona Cardinals did it. They beat San Francisco 23-14 and snapped a 4-game losing streak to the 49'ers. I wonder if Kap had any colorful words for us after this game.  Drew Stanton, who is starting for the injured Carson Palmer for the second week straight, threw a pair of 3rd Qtr TD passes to Rookie John Brown & Arizona rallied to beat SF making them one of the few teams with an 3-0 start this season.  Tom Kelly blocked a FG for the Cardinals, who outscored SF, 17-0 in the 2nd half.  The 49'ers mounted two 80yd TD drives the first two times they had the ball, but didn't score again. They blew a halftime lead for the second week in a row. This season, SF has outscored opponents 59-16 in the first half, but they have been outscored 52-3 in the second half. WOW, that's nuts. This lost put them at the bottom of the NFC West, I bet that's a shock for them. D. Stanton threw for 244yds & 2 TDs. He has yet to be intercepted.  A. Ellington had 18 carries 62yds. M. Floyd had 5 receptions for 114yds. C. Kapernick threw for 245yds & 1 TD. C. Kapernick had 13 carries for 54yds. S. Johnson had 9 receptions for 103yds.  

ARIZONA CARDINALS: 3-0

Read about their win over the wounded 49'ers in that update anddddd, they are king of the hill in the NFC West.

ST. LOUIS RAMS: 1-2

The Rams got saddled and rode into the ground when they met up with the Dallas Cowboys. Though the score was only 34-31 it was a big win for the Cowboys. Read about it in Dallas update.

AFC NORTH:

CINCINNATI BENGALS: 3-0

If I was a betting girl, I would have lost this bet. After 3 weeks, I didn't see the Bengals leading the AFC North with a 3-0 start. They beat, wait, smashed the Tennessee Titans 33-7 and heading into their bye week.  From what I read, the forces were with the Bengals, "Andy, I am your father." Sorry had to throw that Darth Vadar line in. Not only did they win, Andy Dalton caught a TD pass, the first Bengals QB to pull that feat off. Dalton became the first NFL QB to score on a catch since K.C.'s Tyler Thigpen in 2008.  The Bengals are off to their best start in 8 years. The led this game 19-0 by halftime.  The Titans missed 2 FGs, they had one instance where the snapped the ball before Locker was ready. Just a series of mishaps in this one. They repeatedly negate drives with penalties.  They did everything wrong after the news they received about the former kicker. Maybe the Titans will make a better showing next week. A. Dalton threw for 169yds & 1 18yd catch for a TD of his own. G. Bernard had 14 carries for 47yds & 2 TD's. A. Green had 6 receptions for 102yds total. J. Locker threw for 185yds & 2 ints. B. Sankey had 10 carries for 61yds. D. Walker finished the losing day with 4 receptions for 54yds.

BALTIMORE RAVENS: 2-1

The Ravens was determined not to finish Week 3, 1-2, they gave that honor to the the Cleveland Browns with a 23-21 win. It was one of those games that came down to the last seconds and a 32yd FG by Justin Tucker to close the deal. Justin was trying to win the spot from Cundiff. The Browns said that Cundiff missed 2 crucial 50yd FGs this season, he had the distance but has not been consistent with 50yd or more for a few years. He's with Cleveland now. With no Ray Rice or Bernard Piecre, rookie running back Lorenzo Taliaferro got a chance to peddle his wares. He ran 18 times for 91yds & a TD in his 1st regular season game. Coach Harbaugh said, "Lorenzo was physical, he was hard to tackle, the results speak for themselves."  I don't think Lo is going to give the coaching staff a chance to wonder if he can hold down that spot. Harbaugh is giving no hints either.  People are saying that the Browns are going to wake up Monday and wonder how this game got away from them. The Ravens made several big mistakes, dropping passes, an interception and failed to convert a 4th and inches at the Cleveland 20. Still, what all those mishaps, the Browns could not turn any of those things into a positive and they were leading this game 21-17 going into the 4th. They pretty much beat themselves. So now they are sitting at the bottom of the AFC North. J. Flacco threw for 217yds, 1 TD and 1 int. L. Taliaferro had 18 carries for 91yds and 1 TD. He is playing to keep this spot, even if Pierce comes back next week. S. Smith had 5 receptions for 101yds. B. Hoyer threw for 290yds & 1 TD. I. Crowell had 11 carries for 55yds & 1 TD. A. Hawkins had 7 receptions for 87yds. One more lost and according to the stats, Cleveland, along with a few other teams are pretty much done for the season. I'm just saying.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS: 2-1

Guess whose back, back again, Shady's back, tell a friend. Looks like Big Ben and the Steelers are coming to life. They put the smack down on Cam and the Panthers, 37-19. I for one thought that the Panthers would take this one. But I guess Ben is done with his pity party and playing ball. This was a tight game going into half time, the score was 9-3, Steelers. But, as the Steelers of old would do, they ran up 28 more points and held the Panthers to only 16 more pts. Two of the fumbles they lost turned into scores for the Steelers.  The Steelers ended up the day with 3 Sacks. The coach for the Panthers, Ron Rivera, took Cam out of the game late in the 4th Qtr.  He said "I just don't want to see him get hit anymore."  Along with the sacks, there were 12 hits on Cam.  They ate him up! He was hurting, I could see that and it might explain the dazed look he had on his face in his interview at the podium after the game.  The Panthers lost fumbles that led to scores, where they had zero in the first 2 games. Big Ben put a bow on the day with 196yds & 2 TDs. L. Bell had 21 carries for 147yds. A. Brown had 10 receptions for 90yds & 2 TDs. C. Newton threw for 250yds & 1 TD. K. Benjamin had 8 receptions for 115yds & 1 TD.

CLEVELAND BROWNS: 1-2

Read about the Browns 23-21 loss to the Ravens in that update.

AFC EAST:

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: 2-1

Didn't get a chance to see this one.  Judging from the score, the Patriots barely made it pass the Oakland Raiders with a 16-9 win. The papers said that the Patriots sluggish offense beats the Raiders. So, what I'm getting is this, the Patriots played bad but the Raiders played worse. Looks like the Raiders is staying in the favorite spot, dead LAST in the AFC West.  Brady threw for 234yds & 1 TD. S. Ridley had 19 carries for 54yds. J. Edelman had 10 receptions for 84yds. D. Carr threw for 174yds & 1 int. D. McFadden had 18 carries for 59yds. No other Raider contributed anything worth while.

BUFFALO BILLS: 2-1

They were charged and beat by the San Diego Chargers, 22-10. Read the details in the Chargers update.

AFC SOUTH:

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: 1-2

Now, maybe I'm tripping. I'm seeing all kinds of headlines after the Colts whipped the Jaguars 44-17. One is "License to drive, time to hand Luck the keys." Who the heck they think been driving this team to their shabby 1-2 start going into Week 4? UnLuck has. My personal favorite, "Andrew uses full arsenal in air raid." You beat the Jaguars, and so has everybody else that has come up against them this year. So now you believe this is the beginning of a beautiful love story. Luck still has a long way to go, as Tony Romo said, "0-2 is a deep whole to get out of." Here you are at 1-2, same difference.  They had a 30-3 lead at the end of the 3rd Qtr, which, as you all know, they are good for dropping the big leads in the 4th Qtr, so that along is a surprise that the Colts held on. Luck had 4 TDs, nobody ever said he couldn't throw, he's not a closer. It's as simple as this, everyone expected the Colts to win and the Jaguars to lose. End of story. Beat up on Denver, Seattle or Arizona, then maybe, Luck can have the keys. It was Jacksonville's 4th consecutive double digit loss & the 21st in the teams last 35 games. I'm just saying, at this point, Florida State University can beat the Jaguars. The Jaguars benched Chad Henne at halftime and gave Rookie Blake Bortles a chance. Henne said, "I hope he plays really well, I'm really pulling for him and I'm going to be his biggest cheerleader on the sideline." Ok Henne, don't cheer yourself out of a starting job. After reading the article, Bortles did play well. Henne left the game with 33yds & was sacked 3 times. I really want to see who starts in their next game. I'm fair, I write good stuff to. Luck is the frist Colts QB since Johnny Unitas in 1967 to complete at least 75% of his passses for 350 yeards, with 4 TDS and no INTs in a game. The jaguars have been outscored 119-27 since leading Philly 17-0 at halftime in the season openers. That can't be good for moral. A. Luck threw for 370yds & 4 TDs, that is impressive. A. Bradshaw had 9 carries for 65yds and T. Hilton got a piece of the cake with 5 receptions for 80yds. A. Bortles had 233yds, 2 TDs & 2 ints.  Bortles was the 3rd overall pick in May's NFL draft. A. Robinson had 7 receptions for 79yds.

TENNESSEE TITANS: 1-2

On a sad note, a few hours before kick off, the Titans learned that the former kicker of the Titans, Rob Bironas had died overnight in a car crash in Nashville. He'd been released in March after his 9th season with the team. Sending out condolences to his family. Read about the crushing 33-7 loss to the Bengals in that update.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: 0-3

Read about the 44-17 beat down from the Indianapolis Colts in that update. The Jaguars seems to like that last place spot. They have been holding down for the last 2 years in the AFC South.  Maybe longer, but I would have to look that up.

HOUSTON TEXANS: 2-1

Read about their lost to the N.Y. Giants, 30-17 in that update.

AFC WEST:

DENVER BRONCOS: 2-1

Oops, they did it again, let the Seahawks win. But, at least it was NOT an humiliation of the Broncos. Read about the 26-20, respectable loss in the Seahawks update. Yes some wins are respectable and then you have the Falcons and the Bucs, that's all I'm saying.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: 1-2

They aren't kicking up any sand at all this year.  They are off to a 1-2 start going into week 4. They beat the Miami Dolphins 34-15 which ain't saying much either. There numbers were neck and neck with the Dolphins, nobody had any big advantages.  The Chiefs even had 2 turnovers and still won this one. Alex Smith was sacked in the end zone which led to a safety and again, they won. The one thing I read in at least 2 articles is that Tannehill remains inconsistent. Do they have a back up QB they can send in, it couldn't hurt them at this point. Well, I got my team to worry about, I can't be giving no advice to nobody else, lol. A. Smith threw for 186yds & 3 TDs, not bad for a days work. K. Davis had 32 carries for 132yds, 1 TD & 1 fumble. J. McKnight had 6 receptions for 64yds & 2 TDs. R. Tannehill threw for 205yds & 1 TD. L. Miller had 15 carries for 108yds. M. Wallace had 5 receptions for 74yds.

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: 2-1

Phillip Rivers leads the Chargers to a 22-10 win over the Buffalo Bills. Whether they are 6-4" or 5-10", Rivers has his choice of receivers that he can count on. Last week it was A. Gates, this week it was Eddie Royal. They fill like the have the weapons on the Chargers to be a contender. They are 2-1, tied with Denver. This is their 3rd time in 4 years with a 2-1 start. They built on the momentum they had following the 30-21 home win over the Seahawks. QB E.J. Manuel had difficulty finding chemistry with his receivers. Coach Dough Marrone said that they were not in sync. Manuel also gave up a safety after being penalized for intentional grounding in the end zone with 3:23 remaining. The Chargers had 3 sacks on the Bills. Sounds like it would have been a good game to watch. P. Rivers threw for 256yds & 2 TDs. D. Brown had 31 carries for 62yds & M. Floyd had 2 receptions for 98yds. E. Manuel threw for 238yds & 1 TD. F. Jackson had 6 carries for 34yds and 8 receptions for 78yds & 1 TD. He did double duty but it would not pay out in this game.

OAKLAND RAIDERS: 0-3

Read about their expected lost to the New England Patriots, 16-9, in that update. Despite the loss, the sports shows said that the Raiders showed real fight in this loss. So did the Decepticons against the Autobots and we ALL know how that ended.

​*Almost at the end of the 25 most moronic players in NFL history. I give you morons #'s 15-11* ​

​It's getting weird folks*​

​# 15 - Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson

Chad Johnson's moronic behavior began with his TD celebrations. Then he decided to change his last name to Ochocinco because he wore the number 85. Johnson was arrested in August 2012 after he headbutted his wife.  Johnson received a year of probation, which he violated in May 2013. In June 2013, Johnson was sentenced to 30 days in jail.  He reached a pleas deal to keep him out of jail, but the judge nullified that after Johnson slapped his attorney on the butt.

# 14 - Ausar Walcott

Never heard of Ausar Walcott?  Well don't fret because I hadn't either until he made ESPN for being a moron.  Walcott was involved in a fight that left the men he punched in critical condition.  The man didn't die, but Walcott has been charged with attempted murder.  Walcott is claiming self defense, but that won't keep him off the moron list.  Hasn't anyone learned from Ben Roethlisberger?  Just say no and walk away.

# 13 - Aqib Talib

Aqib Talib got a quick jump on being a moron in the NFL. During the 2008 NFL rookie symposium, Talib was involved in a fistfight with fellow rookie and Tampa Bay teammate Cory Boyd.  Then in 2009, he beat up a taxi driver and was arrested once more in 2011 when he supposedly fired a gun at his sister's boyfriend. Talib is still playing in the NFL, somehow. He's no longer with the Patriots.

# 12 - Albert Haynesworth

Ah, good ol' Albert.  He began his NFL career by kicking his own teammate during training camp in 2003.  Haynesworth followed that up by stomping on the helmet-less head of Andre Gurode.  After being selected to the Pro Bowl in 2007, Haynesworth went on to sign a 7yr, $100 million dollar contract with the Washington Redskins in 2009.  He immediately had problem with the Redskins coaching staff, failed to show up for off season workouts and became known as one of the biggest free agency busts of all time.

# 11 - ​

​Ndamukong Suh​

​Suh quickly made a name for himself in the NFL based on his "dirty" style of play. He crossed the moronic line in 2011 when he pulled a "Haynesworth" and stomped on the arm of Green Bay Packer offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith.  Then in 2012, Suh was involved in yet another controversial incident.  During the Turkey Day game against the Houston Texans, Suh intentionally or unintentionally kicked Matt Schaub in the groin. ​
