Suprises So Far

[foreversunny23]

Before the season started, if I told you that Buffalo would be 2-0; Jacksonville and San Diego would be 0-2; and Denver would have scored the most points; you'd all say I was crazy. So call me crazy, but after seeing Cleveland and Cincinnati play, I think we have a legitimate chance of being at least 2nd in the AFC north. Pittsburgh looks good as long as Roethlisberger stays healthy. Thoughts?

Agreed, cleveland and cinci look like crap right now, if we can capitalize and stay healthy, we could be #2 in the AFC north, the only thing is.... the wild card might not come out of the north, with the colts jags and titans being pretty equal... it seems that will be one wildcard spot, but you never know. Hopefully we will sneak into the playoffs lol (total optimism

the Cardinals are 2-0! I don't care who they played, it just sounds so weird!

minnesota being 2-0. How can you lose with a defensive line like that and AP in the backfield?

By having Tavaris Jackson at QB?

They just announced that Gus Ferrote will be replacing Tavaris Jackson.

Biggest surprises so far:
1) Tom Brady going down with an injury. Matt Cassell name now a hight starter in fantasy football.
2) The amount of Rookies breaking loose already. Royal, McFadden, K. Smith, F. Jones, C. Johnson, J. Stewart, Flacco, Ryan and Desean "I love to throw the ball" Jackson.

i think you meant 0-2
and the reason is because...jared allen had the worst game of his career vs gnb
and AP usually only does good for one half of the game...he gains 4 yards only 40% of the time...why..because he'll get a burst for a few carries...then just get hit by a LB in the gap and thrown sideways or back after 0-2 yds

[die_hard_raven]

Buffalo Bills. When is the last time they been undefeated? Gotta go back to the Jim Kelly days

[H8R]

Titans with Kerry.... That was not expected!

[mcgaheewillrunyourassover]

undefeated Ravens stun NFL with 3 straight wins against divisional opponents to start the year
