Bears vs Chiefs: Honestly, I'm not sure what to say about the Bears this season. Maybe they just started off slow or maybe they had a couple of barely lucky games. It's no secret that I am just NOT a fan of Jay Cutler and it has more to do with his attitude than his skill level. Cutler is a cry baby who blames everyone else when he doesn't do well. He has no ability to take responsibility and commit to doing better. Instead it's a finger-pointing whine fest. Long term there's no telling if they'll end up with a winning season but I'd be surprised if they make it to the playoffs. That said, great play, Bears. Hopefully the Chiefs aren't going to buckle quite so badly with Charles out now.
Seahawks vs Bengals: I loathe the Seahawks so any loss is a good one for me...even if it was an OT loss. The Bengals are proving their worth times 100 so far. Dalton is kicking ass and, frankly, they've just been on it as a team.
Patriots vs Cowboys: Ouch! That's all I can say. Honestly, the Cowboys have been doing so so up until now and a loss to the Patriots is an understandable one. I mean, it's Tom Brady. The guy's incredible. The Cowboys offense just isn't delivering without Romo and the defense is only sort of coming up. The Patriots weren't looking so hot to begin with and then BAM...done.
Packers vs Rams: The big news is that Aaron Rodgers threw his first pick at home in three years. Well whoop de doo, they still won and he's still Aaron Rodgers. This game was actually a great one, in my opinion. The Packers once again proved their worth (well their defense anyhow) and Rodgers, once again, delivered a great performance despite a pick.
Broncos vs Raiders: My boys' defense came through again. Thank you, Chris Harris Jr, for an amazing interception run back for a touchdown. Thank you defense for holding it together when our offense was only performing sub par. Thank you Janikowski for missing two field goals...okay so one was blocked but you straight shanked the other one. There's quite a debate, and even a hashtag trending, to start Osweiler. My personal opinion is that one of the great things about Peyton Manning is that he knows when he needs to be taken out. Bearing in mind that we have an entirely new coaching team that is working with an entirely new approach, of course we're having some iffy games. We're starting off a little bit slow but that doesn't mean we are not contenders. Don't write us off just yet.
On a side note, let me be the first to say that the officiating this year overall has just blown ass. I have not been impressed at all and I'm trying hard to give a learning curve with some of the new rules but come on now. Nearly every game I've watched, I've found myself being a couch quarterback screaming at the refs for shitty calls and I know I'm not the only one. Step it up boys!
