- I was disappointed to see the Bengals lose, I like their team and I think that Marvin Lewis is a very good coach.

- Mike Shannahan is a fucking idiot for letting RG3 stay in the game. Bad enough to let him start, but, after that 8 yard run where he was basically limping the entire time, RG3 should have been pulled immediately. EXTREMELY irresponsible to leave him in there. I don't usually feel bad for superstar athletes, but in this case I do have a bit of sympathy for the guy.

- 49ers are the most talented/complete team in the NFC, by far. Doesn't mean that they are going to make it to the Super Bowl (most talented team usually doesn't), but if I had to put down a wager... I wouldn't pick against them.

- AFC is pretty much up for grabs. If someone put a gun to my head and forced me to pick, I'd take the Patriots... but I wouldn't feel very good about it.

- I'm not sold on the Broncos. They have looked great over the last couple months, but I believe that a lot of that has to do with a very easy schedule. Not taking anything away from what they've done (you play who the schedule tells you to play)... but I'm just not as high on them as some.
