Week 5

Okay, okay, I hear you New England.  You're not losing anything on the competition chart and you're still dominant.  The Bengals had nothing against a very sharp Patriots team this past Monday, proving that anytime you count out Belichick and Brady, you've made a mistake.
Dallas is continuing to surprise everyone, this time against a very solid, stacked Texans team.  The Cowboys pulled out an overtime win over Houston on Sunday after dominating most of the game.  The South-Texas team clawed themselves back into the game played away from their home at Reliant Stadium and tied the game.  Bryant and Romo put on a clinic on how to put up numbers when it counts.  Are the 'Boys for real?  I stated in week 1 of my blog that I didn't think Dallas would win more than 5-games this season.  I could be wrong since they are already sitting at 4-1 heading into this battle they face in the Pacific Northwest with the defending Super Bowl Champs Seahawks.
Tampa Bay nearly pulled another upset out of their bag of tricks, taking the Saints to overtime before apparently deciding they didn't need to play defense any longer.  New Orleans simply walked over the Bucs into the end zone.
I have actually learned something about the Jaguars team, they're resilient.  They have some building to do, but they have been in each of the games they've played this year, just haven't been able to stay in.  They start early and strong, only to flounder in the 2nd half and lose the game.  The young talent they have should give all Jags fans something to look forward to.
Peyton Manning is a beast!!  He threw for his 500th career touchdown this past Sunday afternoon, facing a formidable Cardinals defense.  In the 500 TD class there are only two...Manning, and some guy named Bret Favre.  They will both be next to each other in Canton before too long.  What the Broncos qb did to the Cardinals was nothing short of amazing, typical Manning-like precision, hitting the guys he needed to when he needed to.  Like a skilled medical examiner using his/her scalpel in a way to completely dissect a corpse.  This win by Denver left the NFL with one undefeated team heading into the Monday night contest...then the Pats handed Cincinnati their first win in a dominant way...which leads us back to the first paragraph...
