It seems like the bad news has just been rolling in this past week.  Condolences to the Tagliabues and the Kneelands.

On a less serious note, the Bills were on the wrong side of a butt kicking against the Dolphins as the 30-13 win for Miami ended my season in survivor league, so you guys don't have to sit through my ramblings about that for the rest of the year.  Another big upset was the Saints over the Panthers, and the Jets are on a rare two game win streak after beating the hapless Cleveland Browns.  The Ravens seem to be back from the dead, they have won three in a row and are 4-5, with games against the Browns and Jets the next two weeks, so they could be 6-5 and back in the hunt by Thanksgiving.  Colts and Patriots both win, so now three teams are 8-2, and the Seahawks win puts them at 7-2, same for the LA Rams.  While the best team right now might be Indy, their run game looks unstoppable, there is no clear frontrunner thus far.  The Bears and Bucs are both a quiet 6-3, while Washington continues to struggle and falls to 3-7 after getting blown out at home against the Lions. 

Aaron Rodgers is in LA tonight as the Steelers face the Chargers, and the 6-2 Eagles visit the 5-2-1 Packers Monday night, so two good matchups the next two nights.

It has been a busy day of sports news, including the first NFL head coach being fired this year.  That is Brian Daboll of the NY Giants.  The Giants were 20-40-1 during his time as head coach and the last straw was the loss to Chicago on Sunday, dropping the Giants to 2-8 on the season.  Mike Kafka will take over as interim coach.

That's a tough deal.  They probably win that game if Dart doesn't leave with a concussion.  Too bad Skattebo is injured too.  He was really providing a spark for that offense.  It'll be interesting to see who they bring in next.
