Jets winning their second game and Raiders leading Broncos. Come on Raiders (they probably won't win).

Crazy week so far, Brees with an abysmal display today, Roethlisberger sucked out, Stafford smoked something, was really bad today, Manning intercepted twice today, Seahawks defense is still sleeping or something. Oh and Tony Romo is injured, did you hear about that?

Again? Or same injury? Or taking the piss that they said it about a million times?
 
Tough day to be a fan of the Bears. A team that has always prided itself on the spirit of it's defense, their coverage was awful last night.

I could have done better on some of their coverage! The CB simply let Nelson breeze past him as if he completely misunderstood his role. The safety was never going to get there from the middle of the pitch and you cannot leave Jordy that open!

I think the best summation I've seen would be that the difference between the two teams was their faith in their QB. The Pack would lay their bodies on the line for Rodgers and have utter faith in him to pull them out of any SNAFU and lead them to glory, whereas the Bears have little real belief in Cutler. He has done so little to show he can be great that they wont go that extra yard for him and it shows. Last night the Pack was hungry (Matthews was exquisite at ILB and went from sideline to sideline to get his man play after play. Even the secondary that was missing for large periods last year has found ways of making big plays and influence the game.
