Week 2 random thoughts:
In some other obscure thread, I said that Miami would challenge the Bills for the AFC East, and Tua would have a monster year because he would finally have a coach that was interested in offense and that wouldnt jerk him around on a chain. Enter 'Revenge of the Nerds' Mike McDaniels. Though he looks more like a Madden gaming champ or a computer programmer than a HC, he's got this team rolling. Plus, I love the incongruity of seeing him on the sideline with these mammoth men.

While I expected the Raiders to lose to the Chargers, I was really shocked that they let the Cards come back to beat them. I was pretty high on them this year, even picking them 2nd in the West to the Chargers, but I need to rethink that big time.

Anyone around here still sorry we didn't hire Leftwich as a HC after seeing the sorry offensive play by the Bucs in the 1st 2 games? Their D is carrying them, and Brady looks substandard.

Jets might want to stay with Flacco for a while, even when Wilson heals up. Garrett Wilson >> Elijah Moore. Nice RB for them as well. Our game with them should be interesting.

Bengals spent a ton on OL with little to show for it so far (sounds familiar). Burrow sacked 13 times in two games. Unless they get it together, they are going to be battling with the Brownies for last place.

Chiefs are clearly the best in the AFC West. In some state of self-induced stupor, I picked KC last due to personnel losses. Big mistake. Mahomes/Reid have adjusted and they haven't missed a beat.

While unfortunate, the Lance injury in SF is the best thing that could have happened for the 9ers in the bigger scheme of things. He wasn't ready this year, but the team is. With a veteran who has shown he can win with this team, they can win the division now and challenge for the SB.

Aaron Rodgers is still a pompous dick. A PD who ain't winning the NFC Central this year.
