yes, huge upset for the Browns. It's the win that will define your season as you sit at home during the playoffs (again)  ;) If you only looked at the stats, it would be hard to figure out how the browns won, until you get to the turnovers, which will make even one of the worst teams in the league be able to beat one of the best.

And with the Ravens losing too, it looks like the top of both conferences were upset (at home!).

Congratulations on your huge win!

Yeah, yeah.  It very well may define their season, but I think the Browns are better than a lot of people may be giving them credit for.  I mean, they very well could have won their first 3 games had they figured out how to finish instead of blowing 3 straight 4th quarter leads.

Really, last week is about the only game they didn't have a chance at winning and when you consider Colt McCoy was making his first start, and then factor in that his top 2 receivers were lost in a matter of minutes, I think it's quite understandable losing that game.

I will say, I am liking a lot what I'm seeing from McCoy.  What a tough way to start your career with games @ Pittsburgh and @ NO!  And, McCoy really did play well in that loss to the Steelers.  And then he followed that up with another solid performance on the road and this time was rewarded with a win today over the defending Super Bowl champs.

BTW, classy NO fans booing your team today.  Good grief, how quickly they turn?!  Your team just won the freaking Super Bowl Saints Fan!  Maybe they should start showing up to the games with paper bags on their heads again...  ::)   ;D

The Saints have a lot of new, band wagon fans (after the SB win) who expect them to win every game. It's sort of odd to have so many "fans" come out of the woodwork after watching them lose for 40 years.

I actually enjoyed watching McCoy play the last 2 weeks, but I hated him at Texas.

And the Ravens won! I saw a score update that had them lose to Buffalo.

I figured as much.  Everyone and their mother seems to suddenly love the Saints now and they don't know how to act when they actually lose games...  ::)

And I also saw the Ravens highlights after reading your post and I was like, damn the Ravens pulled another one out of their ass???  You got me all excited over nothing!   ;)

As for McCoy, I hope they let him keep his job as the starter.  I'm not sold on him being the QB of the future for this franchise just yet, but I think he's definitely earned the right to start for now...

There haven't been many chances to show pride in the Raiders these past 7 seasons, but going into Denver and putting up 59 on the Burros is about as sweet as it gets.  8-)

Aside from the two games he was out due to injury, McFadden's been running strong all season...and you're right, it IS great to FINALLY see him cut loose!

The Raiders have been pretty successful running the ball so far this season. Scoring touchdowns has still been an issue (yesterday aside), but they're improving.

I'll reiterate what I said a few weeks ago that the Saints have not looked very good this year, surprisingly unimpressive even, and are hardly the top of the NFC (..although who is at this point? maybe NYG?!  :o)

I might have my foot in my mouth 48 hours from now by saying this, but Im confident well win our primetime game on the road tomorrow, despite playing our first game without Aaron Smith and Woodley.

If Childress starts Travis over Farve tomorrow, I think Brett might start to throwdown or something

If they sit him after the first series the Vikes will be nothing more than a freak show for the rest of the season.  It's as if he wants to ruin his image and legacy.  Keep up the good work, Fav-re!

Lot's of important match ups today.  I took the Saints only because they were at home.  Time for Houston to put up.  Can't believe the Jets are favored by 6 against a damn good team.  I like Miami in Cincy.

Fuck Favre.  Fuck ESPN.  Fuck Favre.  I could care less.  It's an absolute joke that Childress has no balls to end Favre's streak.  Either that or he must really think Jackson sucks.

The words "might" and "confident" should never be used in the same sentence.

Sorry about the chin.  He is a warrior, though, and had a good game going.  

Go Pats!  Best record in the league (6-1).  Longest current win streak (5).  Great new talent.  Not bad for a transition year.

The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.
