- Without playing a single down or spilling a drop of sweat, the New England Patriots found a way to extend their lead in the AFC East. After a quick start, the New York Jets (4-4) are in a freefall after losing to the Dolphins for the second time this season. That being said, look out for the Dolphins, who have all of a sudden established themselves as a contender in the AFC.
- I had little doubt that Brett Favre was going to leave Lambeau Field with a victory against his old team. The guy just seems to live for the big moment, and none (at least according to ESPN) was bigger than Sunday. The 40-year-old surgically cut up Green Bay's defense to the tune of four touchdowns and 244 yards on just 17 completions. Not only that, but Percy Harvin (who if he were still at the University of Florida would be a runaway Heisman winner)is looking like a veteran receiver during his rookie season.
- There are a few teams that continue to baffle me ... I don't know what to make of them. 1) The Eagles: Who are these guys? Sure, they have plenty of talent, but how can you go from losing to the Raiders to destroying the Giants? 2) The Giants: Who are these guys? And Eli Manning's salary-to-production value is second worst in the league only to Jake Delhomme. 3) The Cardinals: I thought I knew who these guys were, but they're proving to be somebody different. One week, they go up to Seattle and smack the Seahawks, then lose to the lowly Panthers. Such is life in the NFL.
- It's fairly known that I'm a big Patriots fan, but even the more diehard fan of New England can't argue that Peyton Manning is the standard by which all quarterbacks should be measured. I only got to listen to the Colts game yesterday, but just looking at his numbers (and who he's throwing the ball to) makes me realize he could win with that group of kids from "Little Giants."
