You beat a pair of rookies and a QB who is breaking records for incompetence. The Steelers and Giants would also be 3-0 right now if they had your schedule. Think about that.

Locker really looked great yesterday. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Tennessee is definitely the surprise team so far. 2-1 with the only loss being in OT.*swoon*

Styrofoam cups!
Chiefs are also a surprise threat, I think. And Eagles.
And I know they're being written off, but I thought both Geno Smith and EJ Manuel looked damn competent. Smith at least as good as Sanchez would have been and Manuel better than the Bills have had for a while.
The Giants couldn't score a single point against an already terrible Panthers' secondary missing key starters. What makes you think they'd suddenly awaken against the Jets or Bucs? Teams can only play the teams they're scheduled against, and the Patriots have looked more impressive than the Steelers or Giants in three straight weeks. I don't know if that will continue, but to dismiss it because of the competition is foolish.
I've been most impressed with the Titans and Chargers so far this season. I thought both would be bottom five teams and both teams could easily be 3-0 right now. The Chiefs' defense is really impressive but I don't think they'll be a legitimate contender until Alex Smith starts playing like a real quarterback.

As long as we keep fighting like we have been, we have a legitimate shot. The penalties have to be taken care of though. No one can beat other teams and themselves for a whole season.
IIRC, Ireland made a hard push to resign Long at the end of that whole saga. By then it seemed his mind was made up, but let's not pretend Miami had no interest at all in bringing back Long.
Besides, and as shitty as Long played yesterday, 3 games is still a ridiculously low amount of games to make any kind of final conclusions on.
Might be right about Fisher/Philbin, though. Though that could go both ways as well, for both of those coaches.

Rivera on the Giants game:
I'm glad Rivera discovered one of the central tenets of this whole winning football games thing two years into his head coaching career.
This win bought him another month or so, but he's not off the hot seat yet. They've got 4 pretty winnable games following this bye (at Arizona and Minnesota, home against the Rams, and then at Tampa) before they have to go through a tough stretch with games at home against Atlanta, at Candlestick (though the Niners may not be who we thought they were in a bad way), the Pats at home on MNF and then at the Dolphins (who also may not be who we thought they were, but in a good way)
Wow. Thanks for update. I feel like he could be electric, but his mind is fucked for our team. And I think that's actually worse than a kicker issue.
He has close to Cobbs athleticism, but not the mental side, nor the obvious pure talent.

Funny. Didn't Richardson say he was safe for the season just yesterday?

This is all I disagree with. Clark will get help. But you guys have been pulling some interesting blitzes, (which Allen has always done a good job with), so it might negate any protection that is provided via TE and RB. Divisional game, so anything can happen. All it takes is the Raiders to come out and bully Denver, and it could very well turn out differently than most imagine. I'm not going to underestimate them.
The one thing I'm going to watch is how fast the Denver offense comes out in the first. Been a point of contention for Peyton and Gase, so I want to see what adjustments they make. Should be a fun game.
I see no reason to trust him.

I love the way the guy plays, he brings a fire to the D. But he's a little crazy off the field, the not working out with the team in the summer and well he's a 2 down back and always a liability against the pass. With Mayo, Hightower, Collins, Nink, Fletcher and Bernardaise from Rutgers we have some solid guys and some depth, so yeah, he'll probably be gone.
Hope you're right about Talib.

I hadn't seen that.
Still, I would guess that the Panthers need to break .500 this year and be competitive in the division at least for Rivera to keep his job next year
The Jolly Rogers are dead in the water, but they need to be right there with the Falcons and the Saints at the end of the year.
Now you can't make fun of SNES gata.
I bought one too this weekend but really really cheap.
Windwaker is...
Quick question for Texans GAF: Kubiak says he will make a QB change but there is only one catch. It will be this guy:
Or no one. Do you do it?
As much as I cant believe I am saying it: Yes! I think the kid would kill his own mother to play at this point and he can at least run.

OMG Mech is calling for Vince Young?
dear god in heaven

I would do this in a fucking heartbeat. A FUCKING HEARTBEAT!
We will do it but in addition to Yates we need Watt, Joshson, Foster and your center.
Yates, Ben Jones (4th round pick at center year and started last season at RG) and Foster. We will throw in some BBQ brisket as well.

Pulling for you guys to win the East! The Bills are my runner up if something happens.
Why do you want to give DeCastro another knee to spear?
That has to be an error. I kind of believe it but.. Has to be an error lol

Don't think week 3 could have gone any worse for us. First and foremost, my greatest sympathies and condolences to our NT Dan Williams who lost his father in a car accident while he was on his way to NO to watch his son play 
His mother is still in the hospital...
As for the game, we lost two OLBs for the season and the better of our two safeties lost the upper portion of his middle finger (wtf?). Winston also was injured... We were struggling for a pass rush as is and now we have lost two bodies. Somehow Johnson is day to day despite his freak finger incident but if he misses time, I imagine honey badger will fully move to S.
Our offense started out smooth the first drive and looked crisp. It all went to shit after that. Our OL got us murdered and I expect them to lose us most of our games this season. Winston was trash and then got injured to boot. Brown blew as he always does...sigh Palmer was fine until he started get hit and then my fear was realized, that he lost composure after not being able to trust the line. Still better than last year, but we aren't going to win shit if the OL keeps playing like this. We also abandoned the run game far too early, it's frustrating.
Defense was doing fine until they were gassed from being on the field what must have been over 90 percent of the game. The offense just would not let them rest and then they started getting sloppy. Graham abused us as I knew he would without D Wash. Poor honey badger is a whole freakin foot shorter than Graham, no way he was going to contain him. Graham is a beast anyway that creates match up problems for every team. Just one more game without D Wash, just one more!
Only highlights are Ellington continuing to display that he's a viable weapon and honey badger continues to make plays. First pick in the NFL is on the books. Peterson also kept Colston very quiet. Oh, and the run defense continued to impress though NO doesn't have much of a rush attack anyway. We'll have a better test against Doug Martin. I should also give a shout out to the front line and Dockett finally showing up with 3 recorded sacks. It was against a rookie though so I'm not going to pat his back too much.
We now move on to a game we could potentially win even with this line, Bucs looking like bottom feeders.

I doubt they'd take Clowney over the top QB.
it'll be funny when we stomp a hole on both of those cunts
