So much for my concern about Matt Ryan starting 🙂 At this rate he’ll be the MVP. Seriously, if Turner continues to look good, giving Ryan a running game, the concerns of having him play as a rookie certainly diminish.
Looking at the highlights, it looks like the Ravens were pretty lucky with their scores against the Bengals. I still doubt they will be very good.
Brady goes down – the rest of the League has a new hope. Dallas,Bill,Eagles,Bears,Pitt, Looked impressive. Rams,Browns,Chargers,Lions looked like crap. Ryan looked good – Favre threw up some junk …. and it worked.
Them Cowboys are looking strong! Maybe back to the bowk this year.
