1 | 1 | Drew Brees and co. were down by 21 points and came back to win. It’s official, Brees is an evil robot sent from the future bent on global domination. | |

![]() |
8 | 7 | What’s the deal with Michael Turner? Was last season a fluke or have defenses figured him out? | |
![]() |
9 | 9 | Carson Palmer looked like Carson Palmer last week. Nice change of pace. | |

![]() |
20 | 21 | The Jags were off last weekend, but still dropped from 30th to 31st in pass defense. That’s no fun. | |

25 | 25 | JaMarcus Russell is still the starting QB for the Raiders. They should just push that whole organization into San Francisco Bay. | |
![]() |
26 | 26 | Jason Hanson for team MVP? | |

I humbly accept the Giants position. I think it is part of their DNA to have some hiccups in their season though. Look for a strong showing against Philly to get back on track.
I don’t think the Titans problem is Kerry Collins. Vince Young would be different, but not better.
The G-men are not a lost cause for sure, but they need to beat a decent team before I’ll give them any props. I would be very surprised if they don’t have a strong showing against philly.
The Titans may as well give Vince Young a shot before his confidence is completely gone for good.
