The Edge is sorry he fumbled and says he was just trying too hard Thursday night in the loss to the Pats. Okay Edge, this is your one free get out of jail card for the season. No more dropping the ball and no more excuses. Play hard, but don’t make stupid mistakes.

Unfortunately it looks like Jeff Burris my resign with the Colts this week. Apparently the Colts were concerned about the lack of coverage in the backfield against the Pats. I don’t see how Burris helps. He sucked when he was here and now he is three years older. I don’t get it.

Okay, the Packers looked decent last night but the Panthers looked lost. So here is my first Top 10 of the season and keep in mind, this is based on play of the past weekend and many teams in and out of the Top 10 will play much better or have played to their potential already and will drop!

  1. New England-To be the best you have to beat the best. For too many games to remember now, no one has been able to fit that bill.
  2. Philadelphia-Sure they only played the Giants, but McNabb to TO is going to have to be something to be dealt with by opponents.
  3. Green Bay-I don’t know if it was Monday Night Football or if Favre and Green are just great players. Defense will be the question.
  4. Indianapolis-Three point loss with game in the bag hurts, but if the turnovers are cut this team is a force to be reckoned with.
  5. Minnesota-Daunte Culpepper looks his solid self. Defense kind of let Cowboys back in game though.
  6. Denver-Better defensively and seemingly not missing a beat in the offensive backfield, although Plummer is still Plummer.
  7. Seattle-Good solid win on road at New Orleans, but an injured Shaun Alexander could doom the season.
  8. NY Jets-Remember, this is based on week one, but if the Rag Arm and Curtis Martian can combine like that the Jets O is good to go.
  9. Tennessee-Unimpressive win over hapless Dolphins leaves as many questions as were answered.
  10. Pittsburgh-Maddox looks comfortable, the receivers don’t drop passes and with the Bus at the goal line the AFC North may be theirs for the taking.

The rest of the teams that won really don’t deserve even an honorable mention but I will give one to Washington who promises to be better under Joe Gibbs and Cincinnati for going toe to toe with the Jets at the Meadowlands on Sunday.
