Well, if I were to say that the Atlanta Falcons were going to lose their first game to the New Orleans Saints, you might think I was a little off.  I didn’t think that the Falcons would lose this game to the Saints, but it should come as no surprise.  The Saints still can score with the best of them.  Their defense was impressive in keeping the Falcons more one dimensional by throwing the ball more than they’re used to.  Atlanta, like any team has their flaws, but they’re still a talented team.  Now that they have the crazy hype of going undefeated out of the way.  They can focus on the more important task of getting home field advantage.  Once they have that, it will be a daunting task to beat them in Atlanta, but more pressure is on the Falcons to succeed.

I expected the Bears to play better.  But I didn’t think the Texans would beat the Bears at their own game at Soldier Field.  Houston still needed to prove to me that they can beat a good team. Chicago is flawed on offense and they were exposed.  Credit the Texans for showing the rest of the league the Bears weakness. Also they exposed the Bears defense and their lack of a run defense.  But you can’t blame them entirely because their offense couldn’t get anything going.  Houston is definitely here to stay.  But just like the Atlanta Falcons, they will need to prove it when it’s time for the playoffs to start.

It will be a matter of time when you see Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid take his last walk out of the Eagles locker room. It just gets to a point where even the best head coaches can’t get the best out of his players.  He is partially to blame since he struck out with his play calling, a lack of a short yardage runner and investing heavily in Michael Vick.  Reid wasn’t the one to write the check to Vick, but he certainly gave it his blessing.  Now it appears that Reid and Vick won’t be playing in Philadelphia after this season.  And it isn’t even Vick’s fault entirely since he hasn’t had a reliable offensive line in front of him his entire time with the Eagles.  It’s become a sad situation, but the inevitable is going to happen.  There will be a new head coach in Philadelphia.
