Signal Finder: KC @ PHI, TEN @ NYJ (end), CHI @ SEA, PIT @ CIN

Lions win! Theeeeeee... Lions win! The good news for Redskins fans is that this has to be the absolute nadir of the Daniel Snyder era. If his goal was to make that team completely irrelevant, mission accomplished. (Lions 19, Redskins 14)

No Westbrook either? Hmmm. The Chiefs are always a curious (and rare) watch – even during their runs in the '90s, I don't remember seeing them as much as other contending teams. Here comes DeSean! There goes DeSean! GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY. I hope that No. 37 jersey is for Billy Campbell. Reggie Brown lives! Kolb's been clinging to Celek like grim death. You didn't make it! You know what I'm noticing right away? The Chiefs are slow. The NFL these days is a wide-open game, it's a speed game and these guys just can't keep up. Hey, there's something I'm not sure I've seen before on an open-field fumble – Mikell's teammates all jumped on him, I guess to make sure the ball didn't come out again. I can't overturn it based on that angle. The Eagles are running a lot of, not necessarily Wildcat stuff, but a lot of direct snaps to McCoy. I'd think they'd be doing it to take pressure off Kolb, but he's standing in the pocket and throwing and running the offense. The Chiefs... man, they're not good. Seven offensive penalties? Wow. Well, that was acceptable. Hey, the Eagles won before the bye week for the second straight year! That's, like, a record or something. (Eagles 34, Chiefs 14)

Deacon Jones probably slots in at No. 2 on my list of “Old Guys I'd Be Afraid To Mess With.” Clint is No. 1, obviously. Friends, there is some truly bad football being played in the state of Missouri. (Packers 36, Rams 17)

That's the first awesome thing Greg Lewis has done in seven years. Yeah, his feet are down. (Vikings 27, 49ers 24)

Line of the Week: Raheem Morris: “We got beat by a grown-man team.” Uh-huh. (Giants 24, Buccaneers 0)

crosses off Browns It's bad, people. And it's not going to get better. Line of the Week 2: Shannon Sharpe: “They looked worse on TV than they did when I saw them in person last week!” (Ravens 34, Browns 3)

MY EYES! MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING! And yet I'm still not sure these are worse than the Giants' red jerseys. Beautiful screen pass to Jones. Oh, he dodged a tackle. Holy crap he's gonna score. Seriously, if they just weren't so bright they wouldn't be that bad. Playing the role of Jeff Reed this week will be... Olindo Mare. Or maybe not. You know who's good is Jay Cutler. Did two Seahawks collide on the Hester touchdown? I hope no one else was harmed. (Bears 25, Seahawks 19)

I dislike T.O. as much as the next guy but he's 100 percent right on this – he was absolutely being set up there and he knew it. (Saints 27, Bills 7)

The touchdown pass to Parker reminded me of the Jones screen touchdown in the Seahawks game. The Steelers have left an awful lot of points on the field again – they should probably have at least 30. Carson looks like he's back and it's making a big difference. Well, except for all these overthrows. That's clutch right there. Brian Leonard! Can he keep his feet? And now they're missing by inches. Touchdown!!! I can't get over how unaffected Marvin looks. This should never have happened. (Bengals 23, Steelers 20)

I'm shocked the Wayne catch isn't getting reviewed. That's 21 points in seven minutes! PROTECT THE FOOTBALL. I don't think the “Beanie Wells is going to revive the Arizona running game” thing is gonna happen tonight. Just a hunch. (Colts 31, Cardinals 10)

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... oh, hey, Jake. What's up. Nice overthrow by Romo. How do you overthrow a guy who's 6-4? What is up with this goal-line play selection? A SACK! The Cowboys look like a different team in the second half. I don't think Steve Smith has been open all season long. I also don't think that second interception was Delhomme's fault. This was unfortunate. On all fronts. (Cowboys 21, Panthers 7)

FANTASY REPORT

aPa (2-1, L1): Wasn't expecting Brees to lay a three-point egg against the Bills, of all teams. But more notable is this: We had a tie. Nate and Scott tied at 74.17 in what has to be a first.

JackSux 6 (3-0, W3): Was trailing Dupin big-time late until his Colts bailed me out. Peyton, Addai and Wayne accounted for about half of my points.

Lincoln Continentals (2-1, L1): Thanks for nothing, Mario Manningham. You too, Joshua Cribbs. I knew you secretly sucked.

(post #400; retrospective in the works)

Signal Finder: NO @ PHI, Xeves @ Real Madrid, Sporting Gijon @ Valencia, NE @ NYJ (end?), PIT @ CHI, BAL @ SD (end)

Dierdorf: “That's a handshake I want to see.” Also I don't know how much traction this has but Laurence Maroney kind of looks like a bust. (Jets 16, Patriots 9)

Kolb's looked good on this drive. Well, until that. That ball needed some more height on it. Don't do it, DeSean! Ah, geez. And that whole sequence gives the Saints the field position they need to do that, not that they need field position to strike that quickly. That's a good play right there and a good job of getting three out of what looked like a hopeless situation. Oh, this never ends well. That might be worth a challenge... or not. Whatever. Uh-oh. The wheels aren't off, but they may be coming loose. And that's how good Drew Brees is. Now the wheels are off. Like Aikman said, there was only one spot he could put that pass. Hmmm. That'll help. Do you kick a field goal here? I guess not. That'll be close and I expect Payton to challenge this also. Now do you go for two here? No. Now like Buck's describing here, this second challenge on the fumble is going to come down to some technical stuff that I'm not knowledgeable enough to figure out. Seriously, I can't tell. Is Reggie Bush not a running back anymore or something? OK, scratch that. Aikman's really ripping the Eagles' defense here. Not that it's undeserved, but I'm not sure he realizes that this just isn't the same defense. Well, this outcome wasn't all that surprising. (Saints 48, Eagles 22)

LA LIGAAAAAAAAA. I've never actually heard of Xeves. Oh, that's why – because they suck. (Real Madrid 5, Xeves 0)

And seriously, when you almost get outscored by REAL MADRID, you've got problems. Everyone involved with this farce should be ashamed of themselves. (Redskins 9, Rams 7)

Frank Gore may still be running. (49ers 23, Seahawks 10)

That screen to Hester was doomed from the start. Are the Steelers going for it here? Hey, The Other Adrian Peterson's getting some run here. Wow. Oh, that's Polamalu's backup that's shaken up after that sick hit on Olsen. Quick game so far. Cutler looks like an NFL quarterback this week. Reed... misses? Ouch. This Johnny Knox kid never came up when people were badmouthing the Bears' WRs. Reed missed again? What's up with that? Ball on the ground! Bears got lucky there that Olsen was on it. Gould up... it's GOOD! Didn't see this result coming. (Bears 17, Steelers 14)

Oh, Norv. A draw play right at an unblocked Ray Lewis? (Ravens 31, Chargers 26)

Welcome to Jerryworld! It is quite the edifice. Lot of star (sorry) power in that luxury box with Bush 43, Madden and Summerall. Nice throw, Tony! It's weird... in the aftermath of Adams tripping Tuck, I'm not sure if Michaels is trying to dance around calling him 'overrated' or what he's doing here. Wait a second... OMG the ball kicked off Witten's heel?! Now when did the whistle blow? I don't hear it there. Oh, well, at least it's Giants' ball. Touchdown? Touchdown! If Smith and Manningham can keep this up, the Giants suddenly become extremely dangerous. Unless, of course, they can't stop the run. How'd Aikman get out of the Lincoln Financial Field parking lot and to the airport in time to catch a plane to Dallas? He must have just arrived. Seriously, the Giants' run defense is shockingly awful right now. Oooohhhhh Steve Smith just faked Scandrick IN HALF. Man, Romo is sucking tonight. Seriously, can't we call them something besides “cage dancers”? Among other things, there's no cage. Here come the Giants... and Tynes barely makes it. What? THIS (almost) NEVER WORKS. See? “That oughta shut these people up.” (Giants 33, Cowboys 31)

There's your fireworks. That was Tiger, right? Have the Colts had the ball since halftime? Have the Colts had the ball at all? The Fasano and SPEED 2 near-misses were back-to-back, right? Hey, a Donald Brown sighting! The Dolphins have done just about everything right to stop the Colts... and they're going to lose because apparently the Colts don't need the ball for more than one minute at a time. “Garcon! Coffee!” The Dolphins' coaches could use some coffee right now. Do you see this clock management? That's somehow a fitting ending. The Colts' three touchdown drives: One, six, and four plays. (Colts 27, Dolphins 23)

FANTASY REPORT

aPa (2-0, W2): Brees got some help this week, as Andre Johnson, Dallas Clark and Ronnie Brown all broke 20 points and Willis McGahee added 18.5.

JackSux 6 (2-0, W2): Going against Drew Brees, on the other hand... not so much fun. I needed every point I got from my cavalcade of Colts on Monday night, as well as Sproles' 28.77, to beat Rob's brother.

Lincoln Continentals (2-0, W2): I appear to have played against someone who forgot to start a quarterback.

By The Pigskin of Our Teeth, Week 1: The First One's Always the Hardest

Who's running down Chris Johnson? Really? Wow. The run of tequila jokes was... odd. Polamalu's flying all over the place. I don't think the weather would have made a difference on that one – Bironas just hit it badly. Are you kidding me with that interception? Well, that was helpful. Blocked! Bironas is not having a good night. Great throw by Ben on the touchdown. … PROTECT THE FOOTBALL. The Steelers' running game is nonexistent, and that's bad. How much did Sears pay Favre to agree to do that ad? You know who's quietly had a big game is Justin Gage. I wonder who Arians was referring to when he said he didn't want to 'ruin' Ben like he ruined someone in college. The Titans need to cover better. WHAT. OVERTIME (barely). I'm not sure I completely agree with Collinsworth's insistence that you just go down in Ward's spot. The Steelers should just pass on this third down. Ben's got a guy wide open in the left flat and he doesn't see him. I'M MIKE WALLACE. (Steelers 13, Titans 10, OT)

Signal Finder: NYJ @ HOU, PHI @ CAR, DEN @ CIN (end), WSH @ NYG, SF @ AZ (end)

You see this? You see why I was worried about the Eagles' defense? Wow. First and goal from the 1 and the Panthers can't do anything right. Or not. That was a sick cutback. That's why you're not starting, Quintin Demps. Nice pick by Sheldon. Now call the next play before they challenge it. … Uh-oh. If you're a Panthers fan you've gotta be wondering if Jake's having flashbacks. As nice as this is the defense has to be a bit tired in the heat. Is this GM commercial with the new CEO supposed to rhyme? … Let's see if the offense can help. Hey, a Brian Westbrook sighting! There you go. This doesn't look like a fumble. And it's not. Throw the flag, Andy! (I can't believe I just said that.) That's better. I was about to say we hadn't heard Jon Beason's name mentioned at all yet and then that happens. Wow. Jake is melting down like Serena Williams. Donovan's been running an awful lot today. Get up. GET UP. breathes sigh of relief And now I've lost sound on FOX. Kevin Kolb lives! And hopefully that's just a “let's not take any more chances and get him out of there because it's 38-10” move. Josh McCown? Really? And why is Matt Moore in the game now? Did McCown get hurt on that sack? (He did.) That's the second time Cole's blitzed from the middle untouched. I enjoyed the timing of Hanson's interception. That was interesting. (Eagles 38, Panthers 10)

That's probably the worst play to call when you're going for two. (Colts 14, Jaguars 12)

Touchdown! Good job, Mark. Of course it helps when the defensive back simply doesn't cover the receiver. The Jets are doing some funky creative things on offense. I like this playcalling. And the fans have turned violently on the Texans. If this defense can keep this up, David Harris is going to become a star. Thomas Jones is cutting loose now. (Jets 24, Texans 7)

This Week's Game That Shouldn't Have Been This Close (or this high-scoring): Ravens 38, Chiefs 24

Having seen these highlights, I'm glad that was all I saw. Cedric Benson lives! Who'd have ever thought that you could be rehabilitated by joining the Bengals? Royal should've taken the touchback there. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! And then he cuts across the field to kill time! That's such a Bengals way to lose. (Broncos 12, Bengals 7)

Last year it only looked strange. This year it looks wrong. Meanwhile, Quinn looks shaky. And what Peterson's doing to the Browns' defense just feels wrong. It's almost like they're afraid to try and tackle him sometimes. Touchdown Browns! I mean, it had to happen sooner or later. (Vikings 34, Browns 20)

The Giants seem to be wisely taking the “spread the ball around” approach that has been so effective for the Eagles over the years. How about Hunter Smith showing off some wheels? Hey, if he's a Redskin, who's punting for the Colts these days? The Giants' defense is downright terrifying with Osi back. (Giants 23, Redskins 17)

“The Inconvenient Truth?” Really, Rich Eisen? Really? It seems strange to say that a Week 1 win in Arizona is a big win for anyone but it might be in this case. (49ers 20, Cardinals 16)

Earl Bennett, ladies and gentlemen! These offensive lines are getting used and abused. I didn't even recognize half the Packers'. Three to two. That's more like it. It's either a classic Bears-Packers defensive standoff or both these quarterbacks are off. Probably some of both, I'm sure. Oh, Jay. What was that. I know Garrett Wolfe's not a tall man, but Brandon Chillar jumping over him to wreck Cutler was pretty good. Cutler's been pretty awful, but Rodgers hasn't been great. WTF fake punt? Nice coverage on Jennings at the end. (Packers 21, Bears 15)

U.S. OPEN INTERLUDE: I don't know if tall guys like del Potro (6-foot-6) are the wave of the future in the sport, but as Andy Roddick pointed out after he lost to John Isner (6-9) it's hard to defend against a serve from a guy that size because it's coming at you from an angle that you're just not used to. And if you've got a tall guy who can actually move around and cover the court, their reach gives them a few more inches to get to shots.

AGAINST: The throwback referee uniforms. I see T.O. didn't bring his hands to Buffalo. Moss shows you how you do that. Fred Taylor lives! Aaron Schobel with the interception? LINEMEN RUNNING WITH THE FOOTBALL. I love it. The Bills look inspired. … Did Belichick really go for it on fourth down there? I don't agree with that at all. They've got plenty of time. That's a well-run screen play. Touchdown! Are the Bills actually going to pull this off? Nice throw to Watson. The Pats aren't done yet, folks. Kicking it deep is interesting. Probably a coin flip either way. Look at all those red jerseys converging on him. Wow, he got drilled. FUMBLE! McKelvin should've taken the touchback there... did you see that slight moment of hesitation? Better to err on the side of caution if you're not sure, and he didn't look like he was. Also, like Gruden said, the return's not set up because the Bills might not have been expecting the Pats to kick it deep. And you know what's gonna happen now. Seriously, what higher power did the Bills offend? (Patriots 25, Bills 24)

I disagree with the reversal on the Murphy touchdown – I don't think he loses possession until after he hits the ground. You know who's good is Zach Miller. Is Heyward-Bey even playing? Nobody's evebn mentioned him. Really, Philip? Really? How about Russell throwing down on two guys. Here come the penalties – same old Raiders. Fourth and 15? Really? Wow! We've seen some of the worst blown coverages this week. Where's Tomlinson? Is there not a sideline reporter at this game? You know who's quietly had a big game is Legedu Naanee. The Lightning Bug! Was he even touched? That's such a Raiders way to lose, but they actually looked like they knew what they were doing out there. On the other hand, if I'm a Chargers fan, I'm concerned. (Chargers 24, Raiders 20)

FANTASY REPORT

aPa (1-0): It's good to have Drew Brees. Especially when Andre Johnson, Willie Parker and Ronnie Brown all lay eggs.

JackSux 6 (1-0): Another win, this one led by my stable of Colts. (even though McNabb somehow had more fantasy points than Peyton)

Lincoln Continentals (1-0): This one I almost forgot about. It's a 20-team league on Facebook with a couple guys from my other online leagues and a bunch of strangers. The autodraft yielded me three kickers. I'd rather not rehash that. What I will rehash is this: It's good to have Drew Brees, even though nobody else on my roster managed to score a touchdown.

Fearful Forecast 2009

We recognize that some of you may be new, due to the promotion. What follows are the opinions of one solitary man, opinions reached after painstaking research on the opinions of other solitary men. Place as little stock in these as you possibly can, because there have been years where I've been catastrophically wrong. Like last year, where neither of my Super Bowl teams even made the playoffs. Playoff seeds are in parentheses.

NFC

EAST

(1) Philadelphia – Even though I'm terrified by all the turnover and problems on defense, I think I ultimately went this way because Donovan McNabb's a better quarterback than Eli Manning and this looks like a team that can score enough points to overcome its defensive issues, which may well sort themselves out.

(5) N.Y. Giants – The G-Men might actually have the best defense in the league, or at least have the personnel and potential for it. But we saw how one-dimensional their offense became last year when Plaxico shot himself in the foot, and the always-reliable Amani Toomer isn't around anymore either. They're a playoff team, but the young receivers need to develop if they want to think Super Bowl.

Dallas – The Cowboys still have plenty of talent on paper, but they seem to lack heart and discipline and are running out of scapegoats. This could go well, or this could become a disaster, especially with their December schedule; they could lose their last five games (at Giants, San Diego, at New Orleans, at Washington, Philadelphia.)

Washington – I don't see it. Even with Albert Haynesworth and his huge new contract, they still don't do anything better than any of the other teams in the division. Plus, somebody's got to lose these division games.

NORTH

(3) Green Bay – Yeah, I'm bucking the trend here. It's how I roll. Seriously, Aaron Rodgers will put up the best numbers of any quarterback in this division, and the defense, which was the root of almost all of the Packers' problems despite having good players on it, can't – and won't – get much worse.

Minnesota – I know. Adrian Peterson. The defense. I KNOW. But I also know that Brett Favre isn't capable of handing off 35 times a game. He'll also be 40 in 30 days. If he has enough left and can show even a little bit of restraint, the Vikings could be a Super Bowl team. If he gunslings the Vikings into disaster – which is what I see happening – he'll cost 20 people their jobs. Including himself. And, ironically, Tarvaris Jackson.

Chicago – The Bears made the move the Vikings probably should have made in getting Jay Cutler. But his wide receivers are questionable at best and the defense needs Brian Urlacher to return to form for this crew to be taken seriously this year.

Detroit – It actually can't get any worse. And they went on a similar free agent shopping spree last year and ended up with zero wins and a quarterback who probably wasn't the best player on his team in college. But this space says it'll start to get better on Nov. 1.

SOUTH

(2) New Orleans – New defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has a reputation for reviving defenses. The offense needs no reviving, and I see Reggie Bush having a big year, which will only help Drew Brees and company.

(6) Atlanta – I'm fully aware that the Falcons have somehow never had back-to-back winning seasons. Seriously, that seems almost impossible. Despite that, I get a real sense this time that things are different. The Tony Gonzalez trade was good for all parties involved.

Carolina – Mostly because they won the division last year and there hasn't been a repeat winner in the last six or seven years. Their injuries on defense are going to hurt them, and I don't see the Julius Peppers thing ending well at all.

Tampa Bay – The Bucs are in full rebuilding mode after probably waiting two weeks too long to fire Jon Gruden. Byron Leftwich is a good stopgap until top pick Josh Freeman is ready, but don't expect too much from Tampa this season.

WEST

(4) Seattle – Assuming Matt Hasselbeck stays healthy and their WR corps doesn't get sliced and diced by injuries again, the talent level is about the same as when the Seahawks were ruling this division, Plus...

Arizona – Remember, bad things always happen to the team that loses the Super Bowl. Fortunately, the NFC West is still pretty bad (and the Seahawks are the last Super Bowl loser in recent memory to return to the playoffs the following season). Unfortunately, they've also got the Madden curse working against them, too. Fear – or fear for – Larry Fitzgerald.

San Francisco – To be honest, they're probably still a quarterback away. And Michael Crabtree if he ever shows up. He won't have a fan in coach Mike Singletary, by the way.

St. Louis – There's really not that much to like here. They can't defend the pass, Marc Bulger might be declining and if anything happens to Stephen Jackson it's pretty much over.

AFC

EAST

(1) New England – I'll say mostly the same thing I said last year: The Pats will never admit it publicly, but they are going to be angry and out for blood after their season ended the way it did. BTW, Bernard Pollard's available. I fear for the rest of the league. Yes, again.

Miami – WILDCAT. Shouldn't it have been “Wild Fish” or something? Ronnie Brown's still close to ridiculously good, and things are gelling on the defensive side as well, but the element of surprise is long gone.

N.Y. Jets – Say this: they're not afraid to make moves. Starting rookie Mark Sanchez at quarterback will probably set them back a little further than they'd like, but it could be the gradual start of something. They have a similar problem to the Redskins – someone has to lose these divisional games.

Buffalo – Weep not, Turk Schonert; Dick Jauron will be joining you in unemployment soon enough. T.O.'s not the player he was, I don't know if Trent Edwards will ever be anything, and that offensive line is... not good.

NORTH

(3) Pittsburgh – Same old, same old. The champs lost no one irreplaceable and actually get back second-year runner Rashard Mendenhall to help with the rushing attack.

(6) Baltimore – Much will hinge on whether Joe Flacco can dodge the sophomore slump and handle an increased role in making the Ravens' offense go. It'll also hinge on how many big years Derrick Mason has left and how well mammoth rookie tackle Michael Oher can protect Flacco. The defense remains top-notch with playmakers and brutes everywhere.

Cleveland – The Browns won't be great, but they might be a little better than people think. Whoever the quarterback is – probably Brady Quinn – needs to hope that Jamal Lewis still has a tank left and that Braylon Edwards can remember how to catch.

Cincinnati – The Bengals' defense actually got respectable near the end of last season (I'm a fan of CBs Leon Hall and Johnathan Joseph), but it was the offense that went into the tank with Palmer's injury and Chad either being frozen out or having his head stuck up his ass. I don't know. If those two can get back on the same page, things could get interesting again. But that might be a big 'if'.

SOUTH

(4) Indianapolis – I'm of the opinion that Peyton was sandbagging everybody earlier this year when he sounded worried about all of the coaching turnover. And he'd better be – one of my fantasy teams is half Colts. They still sport a top-notch offense and they finally brought in some bulk on the defensive front to help slow teams down. Teams like...

(5) Tennessee – The Titans ran their way to the best record in the AFC before an inauspicious loss to the Ravens at home in the playoffs. They hope to have added more balance with rookie wideout Kenny Britt (Rutgers~!) and Nate Washington, who's good for at least one 50-yard bomb a game.

Houston – The Texans have been the 'team of the future' for about three years now, much like the Cardinals were earlier this decade. If they don't break through this season, I fear they always will be. But they've got a chance to do that with an improving defense to complement Andre Johnson and Steve Slaton. QB Matt Schaub staying upright is paramount.

Jacksonville – Nobody's going to the games any more. The Jaguars will probably be in the same predicament as the Redskins and Jets in that somebody has to lose these games within the division. A healthy offensive like would help. Maurice Jones-Drew is monstrous and will keep them in games.

WEST

(2) San Diego – It's a shot of tequila, not at it, Shawne! The only thing holding the Chargers back at this point is Norv Turner, because everything else is in place for a Super Bowl run.

Oakland – Hey, somebody's got to finish second. (Of course, 'second' could be 6-10.) If Richard Seymour decides to show up, the Raiders' defense becomes not all that bad, but the offense still needs a lot of work and/or talent.

Kansas City – The Chiefs did some... interesting things this off-season I'm not sure how bringing in a 13-year veteran linebacker helps a youth movement but whatever, Mike Vrabel can still play. New coach Todd Haley has shown he's not afraid to challenge guys, but who is Matt Cassel, really? He doesn't have anywhere close to the help he had in New England.

Denver – Understand this: I like Kyle Orton. I thought he should have been starting in Chicago all along over Rex and I think he's a guy who can succeed in this league in the right set of circumstances. That said, there is no scenario where I'd rather have him than Jay Cutler. Throw in Brandon Marshall's rampant jackassery and a deceptively brutal schedule – seriously, take a good look at that thing – and this could be catastrophic.
