| Â 1 |  |
|
 SK: Tough stretch coming up against
Eagles, Cowboys and Saints. Â JF: Undefeated is undefeated. |
| Â 2 |  |
 | Â SK:
No doubt Texans are AFC's best after shellacking of Ravens.
 JF: Nearly clipped by Redskins, but Manning's TD pass to Cruz saved the day. |
| Â 3 | |
|
 SK: Didn't have an answer
for RG3, but Eli comes through in the clutch once again.
 JF: Had that look in their eye again last week with blowout win over Ravens. |
| Â 4 |  | | Â SK: Super Bowl caliber defense.
Offense needs to find some consistency.
 JF: Defense continues to dominate. 5-1 is a great start to the season. |
| Â 5 |  |
 |
 SK: Make it 9 TD's in Rodgers last
two games. Numbers should continue with JAX on tap.
 JF: Got past Seattle in a battle of two of the best defenses in the NFL. |
| Â 6 | | | Â SK: Defense stymied Wilson, but
what's going on with Alex Smith?
 JF: Rodgers is starting to look scary-good again. |
| Â 7 |  |  | Â SK: Sloppy game against Jets, but
pulled it out. Tough matchup in STL this weekend.
 JF: Injuries have hit hard. Embarrassing loss to Texans last week. |
| Â 8 |  |
|
 SK:
Continue to get it done. Adrian Peterson was beastly on
Sunday. Â JF: They aren't impressive, but pulled out another win over Jets. |
| Â 9 | | | Â SK: When will they realize they have
one of the best running backs in the NFL?
 JF: Peterson has returned to form and the Vikings are 5-2. |
| Â 10 |  |  | Â SK: Could be a shootout on SNF
against the Saints. Â JF: Seahawks did lose, but stayed close with San Francisco. Still in the hunt. |
| Â 11 |  |  | Â SK: Impressive win in Cincy.
Mendenhall
injury didn't slow down running game one bit.
 JF: One stop away from pulling off a big win against the Giants. |
| Â 12 | |
| Â SK:
Offense
was miserable against SF. Need to get Sidney Rice going.
 JF: Enjoyed the BYE and now ready to build off of recent success. |
| Â 13 | |  | Â SK: Coughed up the lead late, but RG3
will keep them in games all season long.
 JF: Also had a BYE, but Chargers need to get back on track. |
| Â 14 |  |  | Â SK: Let's see what
the new DC in Phily cooks up with Falcons looming Sunday.
 JF: Still not all the way where they need to be. Have left a few wins on the table. |
| Â 15 |  | | Â SK: Very
impressed with Miami. Philbin has them headed in the right direction.
 JF: Took care of business against a worthy opponent in the Bengals. |
| Â 16 |  | | Â SK:
In a freefall after hot start. Doesn't matter who the QB is,
when your line can't protect. Â JF: Didn't play in Week 7, so it kind of felt like every other week this season. |
| Â 17 |  | | Â SK: Strange
team,
but AFC North is up for grabs with injuries to BAL and PIT.
 JF: Defense keeps them in games, but offense continues to be a huge burden. |
| Â 18 |  | | Â SK: Defense was stout in
the first half, but then Rodgers decided to do work.
 JF: Had a nice relaxing BYE week, now have a winnable game against the Jets. |
| Â 19 |  | | Â SK: Schedule is
getting tougher, but Saints are playing much better as of late.
 JF: Every time you think they are ready to take the next step, they don't. |
| Â 20 | |
|
 SK:
Was Norv Turner fired yet?
 JF: Caught the Packers at the wrong time. Still a good Rams team. |
| Â 21 |  |  | Â SK:
That's the CJ2K we remember. Think Titans have to stick with
Matty H for now. Â JF: Poor effort by Stafford, Megatron and the rest of the Lions offense in Chicago. |
| Â 22 | |
|
 SK: I guess is a W is a W.
 JF: Lookout! Here comes Brees and the Saints. |
| Â 23 |  |  | Â SK: Should've
beat NE. Horrible clock management in the final minutes of Regulation.
 JF: Questionable call cost the Bucs against New Orleans. |
| Â 24 | | | Â SK: Freeman looks great. Can't say
the same about Tampa Bay's
defense. Â JF: Jets almost upset the Patriots. Maybe they are closer than we think. |
| Â 25 |  | | Â SK:
Ugly win. Need to find a way to get DMC going.
 JF: Nothing spectacular about the Raiders. |
| Â 26 | | | Â SK: Major
question marks on the offensive side of the ball. Shouldn't be this bad.
 JF: Hasselbeck worked his magic to get Titans past the Bills. |
| Â 27 |  |  | Â SK: Colts are a different team at
Lucas Oil Stadium. Â JF: So hot and cold. Had a win vs. Titans slip through their fingers. |
| Â 28 | | | Â SK: Can't expect to
compete with your giving up 176.9 yards on the
ground! Â JF: A win over the Browns gives Luck and the Colts their third win of the season. |
| Â 29 |  |  | Â SK: Firing their GM won't
help Cam Newton's sophomore slump.Â
 JF: Failed to build off of that win a week earlier. |
| Â 30 | | | Â SK: Trent Richardson's injury may be
more serious than the Browns are leading on.
 JF: Couldn't keep Cowboys down, not travel to Chicago for rude awakening. |
| Â 31 |  | | Â SK: Here's your chance Brady Quinn.
 JF: Have a good shot at home vs. Raiders in Week 8. |
| Â 32 |  | | Â SK:
If there was a spot for the 33rd worst team, I'd put them there. Â JF: Solid effort against Oakland, but another loss is another loss. |
