Week 10 in the NFL did little to change any bodies mind about any team.  No up-sets, and no big shockers.  The top story might be Tennessee’s march towards perfection.  With nine wins already, they have all but guaranteed themselves a ply-off berth and more than likely a first round bye.  The Jets continue their impressive start with another win which sets up a huge Thursday night game against New England who also won on Sunday.  Beating a floundering Buffalo team that started hot and had play-off hopes which are quickly going up in smoke.  Miami posted another win, bettering their record to 5-4.  With such an awful start, I don’t think anyone predicted a winning record at this point in the season for the fish.  The Colts also got back on track, beating a Steelers team that has been riddled with injuries.  Even with the win, it is highly unlikely that the Colts will win their division because of the undefeated Titans.  The NFC south has its own Cinderella story with he Atlanta Falcons winning their sixth game.  After such a debacle last season, I didn’t think that they could pull it together in just one season.  They still should come in third to the Bucs and the Panthers in the division.

The Bucs are not as good as I hoped they were, but they at least showed enough self respect to not let the Chiefs beat them.  Everybody knows how hard it is to win on any given Sunday in this league.  It has always been difficult to win at Arrowhead Stadium, especially for a visiting team that doesn’t play there very often.  The Chiefs jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, taking advantage of a total of 4 turnovers by the Bucs.  Just a few minutes before half-time, the Chiefs led 24-3 before a 97 yard kick-off return for a score.  It was an uneventful third quarter, and the Bucs held KC to only three points in the fourth.  With only 19 seconds the Bucs converted a two pointer to tie the game and eventually went on to win the game on a Mat Bryant field goal in over-time.  They must play better if they want to go anywhere in the playoffs if they even get there.  They get a rest with the bye week the weekend.

Another week, another great football weekend.  After a disappointing loss to Tampa, the Falcons take care of the Chiefs.  The Chiefs better be careful, a 0-16 season might be on the horizon.  Buffalo wins another close game, beating the Raiders who are not looking great in this young season.  Tampa gets it’s second win in a row as they take care of the Bears in overtime.  Carolina beat Minnesota without too much trouble and the lowly Miami Dolphins beat up on the New England Patriots, handing the Pats their first regular season loss in 21 games.  The New York football Giants and the Titans both roll to three wins a piece.  I think the Giants want another ring.  Jacksonville and Seattle each get their first wins of the season and upstart Arizona gets a reality check, losing to Washington.  And the experiment in New York seems to be struggling as Favre loses big to the Chargers on Monday night.  There seems to be a lot of parody this season and other than Dallas and the Giants, there are no real standouts yet.  But anything can happen, that’s why they play the games.

The first week of the NFL season has come and gone, and it was pretty good.  Except for the fact that the Bucs can’t ever seem to get in sync by the first week of the season.  Ever.  Looks like Jeff Garcia will be watching from the sidelines as Brian Greise gives it another shot in Tampa.  This is his second go round with the Bucs, and besides a season ending injury back in the 2005 season, he did pretty well the first time.  Leading the team to a 5-1 record before the knee injury.  Hopefully he can spark a little offense this week against the Atlanta Falcons, who had a great opening week win over the lowly Lions.  There were also a couple of other things that happened this week.  Farve got his first win in the other green uniform with the Jets down in Miami.  Cleveland and Seattle both looked awful, and Tom Brady got knocked out for the season in the Pat’s win over the Chiefs, I hope he has good health insurance.  We’ll see how great ofa coach that cheater up in New England really is.  Hope they have a plan.  But the worst moment of the weekend was when the Carolina Panthers made their last second comeback in San Diego.  That was a game they had no business winning.  I had already marked it as a loss before the season began.  Oh well, they could still lose the next fifteen games in a row.  A guy can dream can’t he?  Anyway, it’s good to have football back on Sundays, and let’s enjoy the next 15 weeks.

Chad Johnson, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery on both of his ankles tomorrow. Even though he will be having this surgery, he is expected to be ready to go before the start of the Bengals’ training camp.

The Denver Broncos released Travis Henry from the team, as announced earlier today by the head coach Mike Shanahan. Shanahan went on saying that Travis Henry has the potential in being a top RB in the NFL but he just isn’t the right choice for the Broncos. He ended up playing in 12 games last season and only rushing for 691 yards and 4 touchdowns.
