Who will be the last team to win a game? Titans, Bucs, or Rams?

RAMS, definitetly. The Redskins aren't on thier schedule.

(Sorry, just couldn't help myself)

But in all seriousness, the RAMS could be a bigger train wreck than the Lions ever were during thier winless streak. We may not see a RAMS victory until sometime next season. Maybe.

They have like 16 or 17 consecutive losses already dating back to last season??? Have to check that, but I think its pretty close.

LOL you guys...yeah I'm also hoping to see the Saints take the trophy home this year.

I think the things to watch for, aside from Brees avoiding injury, are the defense and Shockey. In some years Williams really seems to get his defense dialed in late in the season. I think it was inconsistent in Washington because we've constantly had so many aging vets on the roster who would often wear down significantly with the season, but still it seemed to me Williams scheme improved. I don't know enough about NO's defense to say they'll wear down or tighten up. And then there's Shockey. I mean he's a headcase equally likely to tear a defense apart or his team apart. He's having a blast so far this season and really getting into it w/ the fans and the crowd. Shockey keeping a good attitude means a lot to his team.

I have seen his personality being polarizing in the sense that when he is fired up or negative on the field it is infectious to the team.

Well maybe sometime this season our coaches may try to have JC roll out on some pass plays. Also maybe we can move the pocket to by him time with our depleted O-Line. Do we have the screen pass in our WC offense? I never see us use it in the game. How about the wr screen to Thomas and Moss to get them the ball to make a play. Please Sherman be more creative than Jim Boring Zorn. Can someone light a fire under Jim Zorns ass?

1. Was there an Alex Smith sighting yesterday??? He looked like a real NFL QB
2. Now I really know we're a bad team when I look at KC, TB and the Rams just get taken out to the woodshead by good teams. And I don't even know if SD is good.
3. Dallas has new # 1 wr.
4. Arizona can now win on the road and might be headed back to the SB.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Mark Sanchez had to apologize for his sideline demeanor again. This time, he was hot-dogging it. Literally.


Sanchez shook off the worst start of his young career by running for one touchdown and throwing for another, before taking time to munch on a snack in the closing minutes of a 38-0 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.


Sanchez was criticized last week for looking dejected on the sideline while throwing five interceptions in an overtime loss to Buffalo. He was happy enough after this performance that he was caught by television cameras trying to discretely eat a hot dog at the end of the blowout.

"I want to apologize for that," he said. "I wasn't feeling very good and didn't eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered [a hot dog], so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn't have done that, and it won't happen again."
