By The Pigskin Of Our Teeth, Week 3

In Which Gains Are Made, Respites Are Granted, And The Late Menu Consists Of Grilled Cheese And All The Fish You Can Eat

My mom thinks Donovan needs a haircut. I can't disagree with that.

Watched Jets-Pats and couldn't help but think that Santana Moss missing that time in his rookie year hurt more than everybody thought at the time. They really need to get him more involved, as he's the only guy on the roster who can give them what Coles used to.

Here's the deal with Price: In Buffalo, he was No. 2. In Atlanta, he's Nos. 1, 2, AND 3. The Falcons would be better off moving Dunn out there, as he's more dangerous as a receiver than any other wideout the Falcons have. Hell, Sapp's a more dangerous receiver than any other wideout the Falcons have. Was he doing the Bunny Hop? What WAS that?

Stolen from Johnny's blog, which he stole from ESPN NFL Insider 'cause it's funny: "With QB Mike Vick out of action with a broken leg, the Falcons would be left with P Chris Mohr or RB Woodrow Dantzler as possible quarterbacks if QBs Doug Johnson and Kurt Kittner were to get hurt during a game. We're told that head coach Dan Reeves has talked about turning to a version of the single-wing offense, which doesn't use a traditional quarterback, although nobody can tell if Reeves is serious."

Yeah, Priest Holmes is fine.

Nothing like a rivalry game to blow everything except the resulting heart problems out of proportion. The Giants are worrying me for all the wrong reasons - that comeback probably shouldn't have happened either, although Ramsey had maybe his best game yet.

I think I saw some of the Packers actually MELTING in the highlights. Sad. Whenever a team that's looking 0-16 bad wins, it's always on something relatively improbable, like the Cards shutting down Green. One thing that's been overlooked is how poorly the Packers have drafted recently - Ferguson and Reynolds both look like complete busts.

Four field goals? FOUR FIELD GOALS? Against the fucking Browns? Refresh my memory, but wasn't shit like this the reason Erickson now has that job in the first place? And don't look now, but T.O.'s not happy. Holcomb stays in steaks and out of Steak-Umms for another week, but he hurt his leg doing it.

"Brian Urlacher was seen macking with Paris Hilton in Vegas this weekend, the New York Post's Page Six blabs this morning. So apparently only the Bears' offense can't score this season." He, unlike his team, can do better.

I wonder who called the scoreboard op in Seattle and told him about Alexander's fatherhood. It may have been Shaun himself. Who knows. QB controversy in St. Louis? Did Warner actually have a concussion? Doesn't matter now, does it? It's Week 3 and the West is Seattle's to lose. "I'll be DAMNED." - Ron Simmons

Ricky just carried the ball for the 439th time. This is probably the worst game Bledsoe's ever had and it'll never happen again. You can't score if you don't HAVE the ball.

If I were inclined to do so, I'd think buying into Geritol's a good idea right now. The magnitude of this ass-kicking was quite unexpected, though I'll never count out Plummer just because I've seen him beat the Eagles five or six times.

Fantasy Report: No surprise - Scott kicked my ass. With Faulk out and the Grayders stinking up the joint, a deal with Butch (who I face this week) was struck - Chris Chambers and John Avery for Clinton Portis, probably the best deal I could've made at this point. Here's a sentence no one ever expects to hear in a fantasy league: "Fuck it. I'm going with Plummer next week." Though the Raiders do play the Chargers.

TOP 3:
1. Kansas City - Hey, I can admit when I'm wrong
2. Seattle - Biggest win ever?
3. Buffalo - Like I said, that won't happen again

BOTTOM 3:
30. Arizona - You guys STILL suck, you know
31. Chicago - They finally go home Monday. Will the locks have been changed?
32. Jacksonville - Leftwich era may begin this week
