Correction. My Skins are now on a 4 game winning streak! Tried to give it away a couple of times…but they weathered the storm and prevailed!

Up next: an improved Lions team. They will be a slight dog on the road in Detroit…but that is a very winnable game.

Not to jinx anything but the Lions rarely play 2 solid games back to back.

I probably agree on NE.. but I still would like to see them a bit more. Brady beating the worst team in the NFL and the Bengals doesn't tell me too much yet. Both teams we're hanging with them through the first half.

Buffalo shredded them, and yes, NE had QB issues, but I'm no longer convinced that Brady is that much better than his backups, certainly not Jimmy G. Jacoby didn't have a bad game against buffalo by any means.

Still, it's probably NE as a shoe-in.. I'm just holding out hope.

It'll be fun to see if Buffalo can finally be decent. 4 wins in a row, took down the Pats on the road.. The AFC East division race is far from over. If Buffalo takes out NE at home, they'll be in 1st place.

I keep waiting for my Boys to come crashing down to earth, but it just seems Dak is getting better and better every week. It is almost as if they are adding a new wrinkle every week. Oh, and Zeke is the real down. I laughed my *** off when he talked of breaking the record, not anymore. Beasley, Butler, and even Terrance Williams have really stepped up with Dez out. Defense, well I do not know how they are doing it, but keep doing it.

What's sad is the season is still early and the bengals can still make the playoffs after facing murders row the fist 4 of 6 games. Since the shirty Dolphins beat the steelers and the ravens are falling back to earth the next games for the bengals are winnable. We still get the browns twice the steelers and of course the ravens the arc north winner could easily get in with a 9-7 record. If the bengals can taste victory and get eiffert back then the sky's the limit I still think they could go 10-6 but they gotta win the next 6 with the giants or eagles being the hardest of the next 6. They play the browns on Sunday and hopefully that gets them going to build confidence. It was a 9 point game with 4 minutes left against the patriots but the packed it in and gave up.

Next week, then bye week, then they talk like he will be back. I think it is too soon, but who knows.

My Cowboys sit at 5-1, have a bye, then get the Eagles at home and Cleveland. I would love to be sitting at 7-1, would probably have at least a 2 game lead with tiebreakers against both Washington and Philly.

I might care if it was against a team that didn't try and cheat every time they took the field.

Like Duke and UNC, The Patriots can get bent.

Bungals can't play in the 2nd half at all but funny how Gronk and Blount can't seem to get ejected for multiple fouls. Of course when you pick up the flag, it never happened.

Blount's career has sure gotten over his knock out image in college. I do not think he would go at Burfict unprovoked.......that said Burfict is a POS and after football I assume he will one day find a cage to spend the rest of his life.

Dude they've got Landry jones in at qb and down 1 point to the healthy patriots team. Landry jones isn't exactly Big Ben. The steelers are the equivalent of duke basketball

Actually, the patriots are Duke. No matter what they do wrong they're still regarded as Saints. They get every break and every call. The Steelers had 10 starters out of 22 positions out today. Not sure how that's considered everything is going right.

Marvin Lewis is wasting the best roster of talent the Bengals have ever had. He will never win anything of significance. Mike Brown makes Mitch Barnhart look like the AD at Florida Jeremy Foley. Foley has hired coaches that won multiple championships in various sports.
Keeps a coach for 13 years that has zero playoff wins. ZERO. Expansion teams have multiple playoff wins and Super Bowl appearances. Yet since Mike Brown took over the Bengals, NOTHING.
He and Marvin Lewis deserve each other. I wish they were together in the CFL.

The Steelers might as well have not even shown up.

The NFL needs to look no further than their top late game matchup to see why their ratings are down. Indy-Green Bay. Who is going to watch that game?

When do they decide the matchups for primetime? Because that would have been a great matchup from the last two years up until 4 weeks ago.

I can't fault the NFL for that. . Greenbay and Indy *should* be a good game.

Indy wasn't good last year. But I guess when your only other choice is Tennessee - San Diego then I can see why they are showing that one.

From what looked like a team that had a lot of promise to one that looks like an also ran. Damn Minnesota.

Indy was 500 and 11-5 the season before, with what many think is the most talented QB out there..

Against another top team over recent years, a historic team, with also a top5 QB.

I mean.. Is it a juggernaut matchup? No.. But it's no where near a bad game. And again, it was planned (I imagine) over a year ago.

What would you like the NFL to do?

Not that I think this is you(yet) .. But what the hell do people want? I could have sworn everyone wanted more evenly matched teams.. Now they have them.. And they are pissed.

It's election season.. TV show are as good as it gets, there's a changing of great QBs. . And still.. STILL the NFL hasn't dropped in ratings nearly the extent people think.

I don't know. For me, I know that last year I couldn't stand to miss games on Sunday. This year I just don't care. Doesn't have anything to do with the politics IMO but the product on the field.
