Dallas crumble in the fourth.  Jets had been poor all night but got fortunate with a punt block returned for touchdown.  Massive 50yard kick from Folk to win it.  Good start for Jets considering how poor they played especially early on.

Burress had a good game aswell.  Had a big hand in Jets getting back into it, TD included.

Rivers has thrown some balls of dung tonight. Then he starts twisting with Turner. All is not well.

If San Diego end up getting 12, 13 wins this year Rivers is MVP. He was out of sync early, but there's no doubt who leads that team.

No Superbowl this year will be the end of Norv.

Special teams balls up again ffs. Tolbert adds much needed physicality. Kaeding is a big loss, can't see schrifes taking over though. Could do with Matthews have a good season too. Norv should have bit the bullet 2 years ago.

How about Cam Newton. 422yds on his debut. Even if they lost that is really really impressive.

It was unreal. Very frustrating listening/watching it. Fecking Cardinals secondary got torched, again. And again. And again. But the Cards kept coming back with Kolb, who was very good too. With the mess at QB last year Cardinals would have lost that game by a mile.

The Cards schedule is very tough this year, as is all of the NFC west teams. 7-9 could win it again this year! One thing for sure, if the Cardinals Defense plays like that against the truly good teams, watch out. Michael Vick could pass for 700 yards against them.

Tom Brady is just a stud.

Tom Brady is just a stud.

Every year on my fantasy team I try to make sure I have s couple players who are fun to own and root for, players that do mental things now and again. Brady was one of them for me last year.

This year it's Welker, Gates, and maybe Le Sean McCoy.

Others from the past have included LT, Andre Johnston, Peterson, Moss... I especially liked Johnston. I remember him catching like a 45 odd yard pass with three lads hanging off him and dragging the three of them into the end zone. Such a beast.

Welker's 99-yarder last night was one of those moments.

I see he said he kicked a 70 yarder in the pre-game!!

Winning start for the Raiders anyway, could will be a long season though
