- As of before the two Monday Night Football games, scoring is up, even from last year's Week 1. In fact, the 14 games having taken place averaged almost a field goal a game higher than last year's 16: 49.857 a game vs. last year's 47-even and even 2002's record of 49.5!
- The two Monday Night games have to total 96 for that to match 2002's record. Last year's doubleheader totalled 105!
- Sunday Night ESPN headline: "Back In Style". I figured one of two things was going to happen to Peyton Manning on Sunday: His neck would be broken by a dirty hit, or he'd win. He did the latter and threw his 400th touchdown, just as the doctor, the league, and NBC would want it!
- Over-under: New England game was close (most books had it 48, it totalled 47). Total was 8-6 (far more even than I thought it would be, especially after checking the average this week!), the Wednesday nighter being the only national game to go under. Green Bay-San Francisco and Denver-Pittsburgh both went over.
- New Orleans goes down hard.
- RG3 gets the obligatory big first game that QB's of his stature seem to get.
- New England takes step one to 19-0.
- The replacement refs can't count to three time outs and give Seattle an extra one.
- The Sea-Hags still lose to Arizona.
- Green Bay loses to the new front-runners in the NFC, San Francisco.
- But David Akers, AT 581 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL, boinks through a 63-yard field goal at Lambeau Field??????
- St. Louis and Indianapolis both lose.
The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.
