As much as I've loved the 5-0 start, I think Clevelad's going to give us all we can handle next week and the Packers are gonna dismantle us in three weeks. Sure, the defence has played great, but so far we've played Division 1A college teams and struggled at it. If the offence can't find something that works consistently, we might win the West due to it being filled with scrubs and wanna-bes, but we'll get our asses handed to us in the playoffs. Yet another one-and-done for Manning.

Patriots vs Cowboys. 30 - 6
Coming back from the BYE week, I was cautiously optimistic about our chances against the Dallas Cowboys. They are overall a great team, but without their star QB and WR, I think most people called this game for New England ahead of time. The Cowboys still put up a fight though, and their defense was on form for the first half, sacking Brady five times. In the second half, as per the usual Bellichick adjustments, Brady was untouched (at least before the pass).
Our offensive linemen were poor during the first half, and not much better in the second, but Brady got to his receivers and scored three touchdowns (two passes, one via a QB sneak). Our defense are still improving, denying the Cowboys a touchdown (the first time that's happened since Week 3 of the 2011 season), intercepting the ball once, and recovering a fumble.
Tom Brady has 1,387 passing yards this season, with 11 passing touchdowns, and 0 interceptions so far.

We had a bye this week. I was so sad. No Vikings game to watch.
On the plus side..... we didn't lose a game.

I can't get excited until the Bengals win a game in January; however, yesterday's comeback was huge against the Seahawks. Dalton shredded the Legion of Boom when everyone on the planet knew he had to pass. All made possible by the defense simply shutting the Seahawks down in the fourth quarter.
