Except the Lions are never on MNF

At least the Lion's offense can occasionally score touchdowns =/

Or any points in general, for that matter.

THE LIONS WIN
THE LIONS WINNNNNNNNNNNN

It was against the Browns, but, a wins a win.

Note to NFL GM's: The Chiefs are undefeated since releasing Larry Johnson

It's amazing how much better things feel when the tumor is removed.

Incredible that the two worst teams in the AFC west (and argueably the entire league) defeat the two best teams in the AFC North. On any given Sunday!

I'm sad that Kaeding missed that PAT. I was really hoping for a solid 30 point win against Denver in Mile High.

I have nothing to say. Why couldn't they have just sucked from the start like everyone thought they would so I wouldn't get my hopes up?

To be honest, I was a little confused by McD's play calling yesterday. Yeah, Moreno had the fumble-aya. He also racked up 80 yards on ten carries. Buckhalter had a 5 YPC day. I thought Denver could have gotten away with running the ball a lot more early, while Simms was still in the game.

4 IN A ROW, BABY!

I never thought I'd be so happy to have the Tennessee Titans at 4-6

Man Johnson is insane. I think both teams played really well, but for Chris Brown to miss field goals at the end of the game during two games is unacceptable. I understand missing the fifty yarder, but the last one should have gone in.

At least Dallas won and Pittsburg lost, so that's 2/3 things gone right for me.

And Vince Young picked up four or five first downs with his feet too - a huge difference-maker during the course of the game. I'm still not sold on his passing ability (12-for-22 last night), but if he keeps making plays like that with his feet, who cares?

His team should. Look at the top teams in the league and their respective QB's: Manning, Brady, Favre, Brees... none of these ever try to make plays with their feet, let alone even try to leave the pocket. If your QB is having to resort to making plays all on his own, something is dreadfully wrong with the rest of your offense. He should be able to find a tightend or backfield tailback on a slant or let his RB's earn their keep on the ground.

The Texans haven't had a winning season yet. With a loss last night I think their hopes of doing so this year evaporated. They would have to win 4 of their last 6 and at least three will be pretty difficult for this team.

Look at quarterbacks like Randall Cunningham or Steve Young...just because most successful quarterbacks are pure pocket passers doesn't mean that all have to be...I would also argue that Favre moving in the pocket and rolling out is a big part of his success (the whole throwing across the body thing he's famous for)...the Titans are a very run-oriented team, and that includes the quarterback at this point; no point in wasting his running ability. And although his completion percentage wasn't stellar in this game, he was near 70% in the first three wins.

Not necessarily. Young was being pushed by his coaches to run more, so he did. Sometimes it's a designed play, sometimes it's his decision. I would say, look at the why the Titans are 4-0, among the best teams over the last four games. It's Chris Johnson, yes, but it's also Vince Young.

And what is a "backfield tailback slant"?
