- The Vikings went to 6-0, just barely, after blowing a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter to the Ravens, before kicking the go-ahead field goal and having the Ravens miss a field goal as time expired. The loss of Antoine Winfield was devastating for the Vikings, as Baltimore threw and ran to his side repeatedly, and Ray Rice ran over the Vikings' defense. Still, the Vikes passed a huge test, and get a bye week so Winfield and Percy Harvin can rest their injuries. Oops... misread my schedule- bye isn't for two more weeks.
- That was a pretty horrible effort by the Eagles, as they lost to the awful Raiders . They usually have a game or two a year where they just plain put up a goose egg, and that happened here. Injuries to the offensive line were costly, as Donovan McNabb had no time to throw.
But I wouldn't give up hope on the season yet. The Philadelphia fan/talk radio attitude is generally that when the Eagles win, it doesn't count, but when they lose, it proves how terrible they are and always will be.
- At any rate, I'm going to guess there wasn't a single fantasy owner in the entire country that started JaMarcus Russell this week.
- What an embarrassment the Redskins are. Will Jim Zorn be fired next week, or the week after?
- I was worried about my fantasy team, especially when I started Ben Roethlisberger over Tom Brady and Ben had a good day. But then Brady threw for six TD passes in a 59-0 victory over Tennessee. So I think i'll win in that league.
