Oof! Colts Stomp Saints

Well, I figured the Colts would score some points. But the Saints must be thinking they just got smashed by Hurricane Ka-Peyton.

41-10? Well, so much for my prediction. Got close with the Colts, but I thought the Saints would be able to score some points. Which is perhaps the scariest part of the game: the Colts D. I mean, the Saints' were supposed to have a strong D, but all they did was dink and dunk and "take what the D gave them" - that was enough to keep the game 10-10 at the half, but it was nowhere near enough in the second half. Manning got rolling, and the Colts just churned out the points.

Moreover, my thoughts in the off-season were: the Colts lost too many defensive starters. Talk about addition my subtraction. I think the replacements are clearly better than the guys from last year. Oopsie....

Fantasy note: Manning scored 23 points in ESPN FF. Great, I'm already 23 points in the hole.

Final note: I wouldn't want to be the team that has to face New Orleans next week (uh, that means you Tampa) because the Saints just got embarrassed on National TV.

Its Only a few hours Kickoff

Had a VERY busy Saturday, so I haven't been hitting the Eagles forums or reading much news about much of anything today.
I like one of the latest headlines on ESPN, "Cowboys may have kicking concerns"...um no crap, their expensive new kicker Vanderjagt--or Vander-choke as I call him--didn't travel with the team, so some bum whose gotten cut numerous time before will kick for the Cowboys tomorrow (or later today, depending on what time zone you're in)...I wonder how that is going to work out. Parcells is notoriously short-fused when it comes to kickers....he has one expectation, that they're ready to kick and that they'll hit gimmee FGs...0-2 so far...

As for the Eagles...my prediction is Eagles 27 Texans 10....we should gobble up a Texans offense that is just beginning to learn the system Coach Kubiak brought over from Denver...

As for what's going on....lots of stuff getting ready for the move to Japan. My web access is going to be restricted to my wife's laptop, which is going to curtail my posts here and on the forums...but I will try and keep up. I am going to go to the enlisted club on Hickam AFB to check out the game tomorrow, its starts at 7am local-time, and then a little after noon, the wife and I will probably go over to a picnic. I will get to see a bunch of games...afterwards, I will give y'all my impressions of Week 1.
