BAD WEEK LAST WEEK 7-8-1 AFTER 2 WEEKS 17-13-2
Packers and Vikings was a loss because of the Clay Matthews penalty. I've looked at that play from all angles and that was not a penalty hit. The NFL stands by the ruling on the field but this bad call cost the Packers a game and me breaking even.
The Jets didn't look good against the Dolphins. Is that more of a reflection on how far the Jets need to go or are the Dolphins this good?
What can I say about my Eagles...they looked listless and almost uncaring. Of course, they did run across the Bucs and Fitzmagic!
The 'Skins also didn't look very good! Is Luck back and can he carry the Colts. Alex Smith can't carry the Redskins.
The Patriots lost to a very good Jaguar team. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised but I am.
So...let's regroup and tackle Week 3:
Thursday
Jets @ BROWNS (-3)(WIN) Browns are favored...think about that! Gotta go with the Browns
Sunday
Saints (-1) @ FALCONS (LOSS) Saints have looked bad while Falcons are better that they look
49ers @ CHIEFS (-5.5)(WIN) Media building up Mahomes...hope it continues
Raiders @ DOLPHINS (-2.5)(WIN) Raiders will win but not this week
Bills @ VIKINGS (-16.5)(LOSS) Don't like the point spread but I like the Vikings
Colts @ EAGLES (-6)(LOSS) Why the Eagles give 7 I don't know but #flyeaglesfly
PACKERS (-2) @ Redskins(LOSS) Pack fine offensively need to work on the defense
BENGALS @ Panthers (-3)(WIN) Dalton don't let me down watch the naked bootleg right
Titans @ JAGUARS (-10)(LOSS) Bortles for MVP erhh Jags defense for MVP
Broncos @ RAVENS (-5.5)(WIN) Hate taking the Ravens and points but today they make it right
Giants @ TEXANS (-6.5)(LOSS) Look up inept in the dict. and you see a picture of the Giants
Chargers @ RAMS (-7) Gurley and Goff they're my boys
BEARS (-5) @ Cardinals When was the last time da Bears were a 7 point favorite
COWBOYS (-1) @ Seahawks Tossup but I'll take Dak and Zeke over Carroll's Comedy
PATRIOTS (-6) @ Lions Belichick vs Patricia NO! It's Brady et al vs Stafford et al

Browns Smother Bengals in 24-3 Win
The Cleveland Browns are tied for 1st in the AFC North with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both have a 6-3 record. Only the Arizona Cardinals (7-1) and the New England Patriots (7-2) have a better record than the Browns at this point in the season.
Last night in Cincinnati, the Browns used great defense and a good ground game to beat the Bengals 24-3.
The wind played havoc with both quarterbacks but Andy Dalton, when not under pressure, seemed unsure of his throws. Dalton completed just 10 of 33 pass attempts for 86 yards while throwing 3 INTs. His 33% completion rate was outdone only by his QBR of 2.0.
Brian Hoyer, facing the same gusty winds as Dalton, went 15 of 23 for 198 yards. Although he didn't have a touchdown pass, he didn't have an interception either. The Browns used the pass to set up their run game. Cleveland's three running backs ran for 169 yards and 3 touchdowns on the night. Ben Tate got the Browns on the board early in the 1st quarter with a 4 yard TD run after the Browns had intercepted Dalton and returned the ball to the Bengal's 18 yard line. Isiah Crowell scored on a 2 yard run on the Browns first possession of the 2nd half and Terrance West ran in from the one for the last touchdown with 4:46 left in the 4th quarter to seal the win for Cleveland.
The Bengals were held to 86 yards rushing on 27 carries by a defense that sacked Dalton twice and kept the Bengals off balance all night.
After rushing for 154 yards on 24 carries against the Jaguars last week, Jeremy Hill of the Bengals was held to just 55 yards on 12 carries last night.
Although his team had just been beaten 24-3 and manhandled by the Browns' defense, Hill had these comments about the Browns following the game. These quotes come courtesy of Coley Harvey at ESPN.com.
Asked whether the Browns were better than he previously thought, Hill said, "Oh no, not at all. They're probably worse than I thought, to be honest with you."
"They didn't do anything special to me," Hill continued. "I mean, respect to them, they won the game. But that's all I'll give them."
"Those guys, they're not that good," he said. "It was on us [Thursday]. We gave them the game, in my opinion. They didn't do anything special. We just gave them the game. They just sat back with coverage the whole day."

Colts Shutout Bengals 27-0
While Andrew Luck was completing 27 of 42 passes for 344 yards and 2 TDs with no INTs, the Colt defense was holding the Bengals to 135 yards of total offense. The 27-0 final score indicates that the Colt defense is quite formidable.
Cincinnati had 103 yards through the air and 32 yards on the ground for the game. Giovani Bernard was the leading ground gainer for the Bengals with 17 yards on 7 carries. Mohamed Sanu had 3 catches for 54 yards while Jermaine Gresham caught 10 passes from Andy dalton for 48 yards.
Dalton was 18 of 38 for 126 yards but was sacked 3 times for 17 yards.
The Bengals ran 54 plays and got just 8 first downs. Two of those first downs were the result of Colt penalties. Cincinnati was forced to punt the ball away 11 times during the game, tying a franchise record. They didn't get the ball into Colt territory until the 4th quarter.
T.Y. Hilton, of the Colts, had 7 catches for 107 yards, his second consecutive 100+ yard game. Reggie Wayne caught 4 passes for 15 yards that put him over 14,000 yards receiving for his career.
The Bengals fall to 3-2-1 on the year while the Colts are 5-2.
