Steelers Move to 3-0, So Do … Chiefs and Bears?

0

Okay, I can take the Pittsburgh Steelers being 3-0 after three weeks, even with former starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger chained to the bench following another offseason filled with foolish.

However, if someone had told me that the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs would be the only two other remaining unbeaten teams in league heading into Week 4, I might have given them a ‘Philadelphia-styled’ beat-down of epic proportions.

Okay, I know that might sound a bit violent, especially for a guy the size of Spud Webb, but you get the idea right?

Anyway, this look back at the week that was – should give avid NFL gamblers a small glimpse at what they can likely expect heading into this week’s upcoming Week 4 matchups.

Jets 31 Dolphins 23
I knew my beloved Dolphins were going down in this contest and told NFL gamblers last week that Miami’s Chad Henne doesn’t look like a franchise quarterback if you ask me … unlike New York’s Mark Sanchez.

Colts 27 Broncos 13
Peyton Manning and company are back on track following their Week 1 loss to Houston while the Denver Broncos have the distinct look of a team that’s going to hover around the .300 mark all season long.

Cardinals 24 Raiders 23
The Arizona Cardinals may be 2-1, but they could be the most mediocre 2-1 team of all-time at this point. Still, they’re nowhere near as bad as the blundering Oakland Raiders.

Eagles 28 Jaguars 3
Mike Vick clearly looks like the best quarterback in the NFC East at this point – and now, Philadelphia looks like a legitimate division title contender because of his jaw-dropping play. Jacksonville on the other hand, looks like a 6-10 team at the very best.

Seahawks 27 Chargers 20
The Seahawks have beaten the Chargers and Niners so far this season. Is an NFC West title out of the question for Pete Carroll’s Seahawks? I think not.

Cowboys 27 Texans 13
The Cowboys got a much-needed win, but I still think they’ve got some serious problems as Houston mostly beat themselves with one mistake after another in this contest.

Rams 30 Redskins 16
The Rams jumped all over the surprised Redskins and got a fine performance from rookie quarterback Sam Bradford in the win while Donovan McNabb mostly failed to get the support that he needed from his young offensive teammates.

Falcons 27 Saints 24
Atlanta has an absolutely explosive offensive and used it to eke out a narrow win over a New Orleans team that just seemed a bit out of it in this contest, starting with Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees.

Patriots 38 Bills 30
Sure the Patriots won this game, but I’ve got to believe they are not very happy about giving up a whopping 30 points to the lowly Bills, even in victory.

Titans 29 Giants 10
The Tennessee Titans got back in the win column following their Week 2 loss to Pittsburgh, but I’m not very impressed as they beat up on the lowly Giants, who mostly look like they’ve tired of head coach Tom Coughlin’s mostly foolish team rules.

Steelers 38 Buccaneers 13
Ho-hum, the Steelers absolutely throttled the young Buccaneers to move to a perfect 3-0 on the season. I say Pittsburgh continues riding veteran signal-caller Charlie Batch until further notice. Tampa Bay may have been on the wrong end of a loss the last time out, but I feel like they are still heading in the right direction with their rebuilding plan.

Ravens 24 Browns 17
Sure the Ravens won this game, but really,, shouldn’t they have blown Cleveland out of the water?

Vikings 24 Lions 10
Like the Cowboys, the Vikings got a win in Week 3, but still have some issues, mostly with their offense, that are readily apparent.

Bengals 20 Panthers 7
The Bengals beat the lowly Panthers in this contest, but they sure didn’t look very good at all in doing so as Carson Palmer and his veteran wide receivers consistently missed hooking up against the Browns’ suspect defense.

Chiefs 31 49ers 10
Yo go Kansas City! The Chiefs have beaten two supposed playoff teams in three weeks and look very for real right about now, particularly on defense. San Francisco looks like an absolute mess on both sides of the ball right now – and if you want to know how I feel about Alex Smith, just ask my boy Gary ‘The Glove’ Payton how he feels and mark me down for a ‘ditto’.

Bears 20 Packers 17
Love Smith runs the defense, Mike Martz runs the offense – and Devin Hester just runs! Sounds like a winning formula for the undefeated Bears, though they were still luck to beat a Packers team I have said is going to win the NFC this year.
