The Week That Was Week 3 in the NFL

I really don't care of Lane Kiffin gets fired or not. Good for him that he doesn't want to quit. A lot of people want to see him go. I think that Al Davis should give him a shot.

But then again, I don't care if he's on the sidelines in Oakland or not.

It's not on Kiffin if the Raiders suck for eternity. It's on Al Davis. It's time for him to go. Davis isn't like Jerry Jones, who still pushes the buttons and shoves his team to the cutting edge (that new stadium is going to be fucking awesome).

Davis is the opposite. His team plays in an ugly stadium (which was actually all Davis' fault). He gets in the way of the coaches. And Davis doesn't live larger than life like the other uber-owners in professional sport (like Jones or Mark Cuban or Roman Abramovich).

He does thing detrimental to the club's well-being (on the field). Sure he'll make money, but no one likes the Clippers, so why should Raider Nation stay loyal to an inferior product?

Davis is totally out of touch. Like Matt Millen, it's time for the old man to go.

To the rest of the week:
  • No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. Trent Edwards and Marshawn Lynch...together. Who would of thought? And after the meltdown the Pats had against the Fish, then the 3-0 Bills look mighty good.
  • Did everyone really think the Browns were going to win the division?
  • Can Tom Brady play on one leg?
  • Matt Cassel = Brett Favre, as of week 3.
  • The Cowboys are the best team in the League.
  • Aaron Rodgers still > Favre, as of week 3.
  • Who's the most overrated 3-0 team? Denver? Tennessee? Buffalo? My vote goes to the Broncos.
Extra point:

Unless the Colts get their act together, this might be a totally different AFC this year. We'll see how the Pats do after their bye week, but with the top three teams for the old AFL struggling in the first couple of weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a crap shoot for the top spot in the conference.

But what else does this mean? It means that the NFC is looking fucking strong.
