Adrian Peterson looked more like the Adrian Peterson of old..... including the fumbles.

Patriots vs Bills. 40 - 32
Going into the game I thought it would be close, after all, the Bills defense is really good, and our defense...well, isn't. The Patriots dominated for the first half though, two interceptions in the 2nd quarter and building a 24 - 13 lead over the Bills. Our defense has two major weaknesses as far as I could see, which were (1) inability to stop the running game, and (2) deep pass coverage by our cornerbacks. Other than that, I'd say our defense worked pretty well during at least the first three quarters.
The fourth quarter was abysmal for both the Patriots offense and defense though, with the Bills scoring 19 points to our 3. The Brady fumble and lack of coverage on the deep passes were hard to watch, as well as the failed 4th down conversion. The only shining light for the Patriots defense in the 4th was the potentially game saving interception by Ryan.
So it was a close game, but not in the way I expected it to be. Our defense were good but not great, our offense were fantastic (overall) as per usual.

Wow, I was really off about the Eagles this season. Their offensive line is as atrocious as I've ever seen.
I'm happy to see the inevitable Colts implosion. They'll have a respite against their crappy divisional opponents, but their lines are terrible and Luck/the coaching staff seem unable to adjust. Could just be shitty personnel, but you'd think they'd try to run more quick passes. It's what the Pats did last year after the Chiefs debacle. Fuck 'em all for starting the Deflategate shit. I want Luck's head on a spike when we play them.
It's nice to see the Ravens looking mediocre as well. Fuck that whiny asshole Harbaugh.
Peyton Manning looks done. Wobbly ducks all day, everyday.
Feel bad for the Cowboy fans. I mean, I hate the Cowboys, but their injuries are unfortunate. It sucks knowing that you'll likely not make the playoffs in week 2.
LOL @ Rex Ryan. As usual, he hyped himself and his team up to ridiculous levels, and then they shot themselves in the foot (which he may or may not have sucked on afterward) with undisciplined play.

I can find no argument in any of that Kev. I'll add that the Seahawks look like the old Seahawks - the ones that couldn't win tough games, unlike what we've seen the last three years. It was nice while it lasted.
I actually kind of feel sorry for the Cowboys.
P.S. One of the above sentences is a lie.

A quote I heard on Sunday that made me chuckle:

We've apparently been sucked into some strange alternate dimension, where the Browns win, and evil Spock has a goatee.

The Browns win, Seattle goes 0 - 2, Jets go 2 - 0, and the Colts are imploding.
On the other hand, the Patriots are still playing really good with a few exceptions, so I like this dimension.

I didn't watch it, but it sounded like they were abysmal.
Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and Oakland all have better records. Bottom of the barrel, here we come!
