The broncos offense will be fine as well. Javon Walker was a steal and tatum bell is starting to show what he can do.

Cincinnatti looks really tough as does baltimore. Those four teams are my main contenders.
Which is comforting, because Smith just ain't what he used to be. The repeated concussions are beginnging to worry me.

All I know is now is the time to beat the Ravens...that game yesterday, they kicked a late FG for the come from behind win...it was 52 yards and everyone assumed they would make it! Stover is a great kicker and a wonderful weapon to have! McNair will become more and more confident as the year goes on...he's never had such weapons! If the "O" line can protect him...they will be a very very tough out at playoff time!

A) McNair won't stay healthy all year.

B) They kicked a late FG for the come from behind win against Charlie Frye and the Cleveland Browns.

C) They are 3-0 against Tampa Bay, Oakland, and Cleveland who are a combined 0-8.

First of all, I love folks with crystal balls...how do you know McNair won't stay healthy? He's proven to be a warrior and he's modified his game so as not to run nearly as much...every player in the NFL is one hit away from DL but he has as good a chance as any QB not named Favre or Manning to play every game this year!
Secondly...a 52 yard FG isn't any easier based on what team you are playing...and Stover's talent was my point!
Sure they've beaten teams that are 0-8...but that is the sign of a good team, you have to win those games! Cleveland played extremely well yesterday...they will win their share, Winslow is finally healthy and their passing game is better than folks think! Tampa Bay was favored in that game...they lost a heartbreaker yesterday. TB can play with most anybody and are always a tough win! And...as I said in the beginning, McNair is still adjusting to a new team! That "O" will get better and better! This from an avid Redskins fan, I have no horse in this race, I'm simply stating what I consider to be obvious...Bengals and Colts are the best two teams right now but the Jags and the Ravens aren't far behind!

What do you know about McNair? He led them to a big victory today.

Face it the guy is a champion.

The Pat's played well and deserved the win, no doubt about it...

The Bengals are in trouble, they have been exposed, they can't stop the run, if you can't stop the run, you are in trouble...

I would like to think if Henry played, they would have scored 2 touchdowns instead of scoring 2 FG's, because he's impossible to cover, he's taller, faster and can jump higher than any corner in the NFL, but who knows if they would have...If the Bengals go up 14-0, maybe it changes the complexion of the game...

They have some injuries and will get back a Line Backer and a Super Bowl MVP in Dexter Jackson, that will help, but probably not enought to make a difference...

Carson is getting sacked alot and looks out of sorts, given his injury, can't say I blame him...

The Bengals only hope is that the Offense kicks in like last year and they keep their Opponents from ramming the ball down their throat, I think they get better, but not enough to make the Playoffs...
