Another bad week for my teams.
The Panthers lost their third game of the season, 20-7 against the Bengals, equaling last year’s start 0-3. The Clausen era had an inauspicious start what with him mishandling a snap that the Bengals recovered, as well as a pick. Rookie jitters I guess. The defense looked pretty lame also.
Tampa Bay got pounded by the Steelers 38-13 for their first loss of the season and Atlanta defeated New Orleans in overtime 27-24. The Saints had their chance, but their overtime field goal attempt was either tipped or just bad. It was hard to tell from the clip I saw.
The ‘Skins really played bad in their loss to the Ram-THE RAMS!-30-16. The Giants went down, the Eagles won behind Michael Vick’s excellent play again, and the Cowboys got their first win of the season. That leaves the Eagles alone at the top with 2-1 record and everybody else tied at 1-2.
The Jets kept the day from being a total loss, defeating the Dolphins 31-23. Sanchez played well for the second week in a row with three TD passes. New England beat the Bills, Jets and Patriots 2-1.
Around the league; the Vikings managed their first win against the Lions. Kansas City stays undefeated, the chargers lose again(these boys are notorious for bad starts and strong finishes).
After three games, my three favorite teams have a combined record of 3-6.
I really wish the Panthers would turn it around. Unfortunately both my teams lost this weekend, the Razorbacks in college and the Saints in the pros.
I thought the Seahawks looked pretty good, at least the last 3 quarters, but then the Chargers turned it over enough times to make it easy. I’m still not sold on Hasselbeck, but he threw some pretty crisp passes. As for those Chargers, the running game is so on-and-off. They have to get that more consistent or they’ll continue to lose.
