A LOOK BACK AT WEEK ONE
* Whatever happend to Kurt Warner? He still hasn't won a game since the NFC championship game in January 2002, a twenty month drought. On Sunday, he looked like he was trying out for a role with the Keystone Cops.
* The 49ers scored their number against pitiful Chicago (yet another thing to have disappeared in January 2002). I bet they wish they were facing Warner this week.
* Who would have guessed that both Mooch's former and current teams would score more than 40 points in the same week. Right now it's looking like a win-win situation for both the Niners and the Lions.
* The Raiders continued their dreadful preseason with a dreadful opening day loss. They get to face the dreadful Bengals this week.
* You can take any one of three things away from the Raiders loss to the Titans:
a) The Raiders beat themselves, shooting themselves in the foot with countless penalties.
b) The refs continue to have it in for the Raiders, conspiring against them at every turn.
c) The Titans last touchdown, where the receiver was clearly out of bounds, will most likely stand out as the worst officiating blunder this season, and may result in changes over what is considered a reviewable play.
* The injury bug is already biting the Raiders, but it's not affecting only the old guys. The loss of Jerry Porter at wide receiver hurts tramendously if he is absent for very long.
* The Bucs (especially their defense) show no signs of slowing down. After one week, they look like they could win the Super Bowl again, but that's why they play a sixteen game season.
* The Packers are 0-2 in their last two games at Lambeau Field. What's going on???
* The Bills shut out the Patsies. I guess that shows you what happens when you release a team leader only a few days before opening day.
* Even without Michael Vick, the Falcons are better than the hapless Cowboys.
* The Houston Texans are still the best team in Texas (and they still have the worst nickname in football).
* Miami appears to be beginning their December collapse a few months early.
* Seattle, Kansas City, and Buffalo appear to be improving rapidly.
* AND FINALLY... JUST AS A REMINDER... THE BENGALS ARE STILL THE BENGALS.
