I'm happy to see Pittsburgh get screwed over by the referees for once.

What? Why would you fake that? Ben could have just fallen over in a QB sneak for a 1st down!

Now they score on defense again...21 pts on 38 yds of offense. Just amazing.
It's tough to get yards on offense when your defense keeps scoring and won't let you play. At the end the offense put up a pretty respectable stat line

Yeah that 30th ranked offense is a juggernaut.

Each and every other of the other CBS crews are miles ahead of those two (Fox cannot say the same vs their flagship pair)...even the guys only doing the regional games. Sometimes makes me wonder how Simms did what he did in the NFL.

What a horrible use of timeouts there by Tom Coughlin.

The Broncos looked really, really good again. Would have been nice to have put away the Bengals with that Decker throw but the Bengals were a desperate team. I really like how the Broncos match up next week against Carolina.

I thought the defense played very well today.

Cincinatti is a good team. As Dalton matures they are only going to get better.

I hope Kuper's injury isn't serious. That will be a big topic for me this week.

I actually picked Dallas to win this game. It's spots like this where they tend to show up and play really well and make everyone believe that they have something again.

Where did i say anything about green bay?? Way to make crap up...again.

As for the Bears offense...they managed 350 yds against the worst defense in the nfl...a team that routinely gives up well over 400 on average. Cutler has failed to eclipse 200 yds in half his starts. The offense is quite simply...horrible. The defsnse though is a special one, and why that team will make the playoffs...but you have to score pts in this league and particularly as they get into the tough part of their schedule....they really havent beaten anyone of substance to this point...we will see where they are really at the next couple weeks.

Collinsworth with his usual onair fellation of Romo makes me want to throw a beer bottle at my TV.

I feel myself getting more and more confident with the defense, both in the pressure they get on the passer and the secondary's play. Dare I say, but I prefer Carter and Harris in the secondary then Tracy Porter. I'm really hoping Del Rio feels the same way. DJ Williams is set to return from suspension after next week, have to wonder if he can have a positive impact on this team. Not really deep at the linebacker position, he could be a lot of help.

No broken bones re: Kuper from Fox after the game. We shall see the severity. No reason to rush back. The Broncos O-line was again incredible today and deserves a ton of praise. Can't think of one time Manning had to throw the ball away. Bengals were ranked pretty high in the NFL for sacks if I'm not mistaken. Two strong performances put together.

Their offense isn't horrible as much as their O-line is. I still really like the Bears if they can run the ball and Cutler is more then adept enough to make plays as long as he gets blocking. I still consider the Bears the best team in football right now, but power rankings mean nothing and there's a lot of season to go.

I think Woodyard is a better player at this point than DJ. Trevathan has come in and made an impact as a late round pick. Pretty impressed with that kid.

DJ will help the depth, but I think he's done as a Bronco after this season.

They are a top ten team in the league in points for and rushing yards. Say what you want but just because they don't attempt 50 passes a game and completely ignore the running game is their offense terrible. They just don't pass for 300+ every week
