Ahira's Hangar

Seeing his 21 out there brought back images of Deon's "shut down" presence, however Deon rarely nailed running backs from 15 feet away before they crossed the line of scrimmage!

OK we're really ready to go! Good job folks! Buffalo , *in best McEnroe voice* "You can't be serious!"

Sorry I'm so late with the early scores and results...I'm getting pretty damm sick from my lingering cold. CHI/SD is merciless at this point 3-0 with Bear's D stomping LT

early results:
Well alot of folks didn't think Randy Moss would show up this early, but Brady takes advantage throwing for 297 yds, 3 TDs. Moss 183 receiving yds, 1 TD New England 37 Jetz 14. Rookie Adrian Peterson runs for 103 yds, 1 TD, Vikings D was awesome: 2 defensive TDs, 6 sacks, 3 ints, Minnesota 24 Alt 3. Big Ben 4 TDs! Pittsburg 34 Cleveland 7. A 42 yard FG by Jason Elam with no time left, at all, was the difference maker. Henry 139 rush yds Denver 15 Buff 14. The rumors that someone lit a fire under Delhomme's butt are true! At least for this week and Steven Jackson self-destructs with 2 fumbles. Delhomme 3 TDs, Smith 118 rec yds, 1 TD Carolina 27 St. L 13. Redskins kicker, Sulman, wins it in OT Washington 16 Miami 13. Chris Brown 175 yds rushing, Vince Young runs in a TD Tennessee 13 Jax 10. Colorado rookie product Crosby kicks winning FG with time running out in an interesting game Green Bay 16 Philly 13. Finally LJ was less than spectacular and Andre Johnson racks up 142 rec yard and a TD from Matt Scaub starting his first pro-game.

early standings:
My picks so far are as sick as I feel, but like LT I start slow every year and then take off. Speaking of taking off it looks like Earthy and Tom have rocketed off together!!!

afternoon results:
I win the first head to head (we need to discuss whether to keep this or not) as da Bears totally dominate SD and LT in the first half, somehow Bolts battle back as LT throws a 17 yd strike to Antonio Gates (109 yds) for a TD and then runs in for another. San Diego 14 Chi 3 (and it could have been worse...) Weird back and forth game as Kitna passes for 289 yds, 3 TDs, 2 ints, McCown passes for 294 yds, 2 TDs 2 ints...the edge goes to Tatum Bell 87 yds rush 1 TD Detroit 36 Oak 21. Despite a couple of fumbles Shaun Alexander rushes for 105 yds, one TD. Brown kicks two FGs Seattle 20 TB 6.

*BLEEPIN'* Bills....
I want to blame it all on Losman, but if McGee holds on to a sure INT late, it might have been a different ouctome. M Lynch looked pretty good, but we really need a passing game...

OK I'll change your score and get rid of the head to head, thanks dAN for your tact and kind words.
