Does anyone else think Eli Manning always looks a little lost and confused? It's probably not fair to compare him to Peyton, but Peyton always looks like he's in charge and thinking about the game. Eli always has that mouth hanging open and he looks around in the stands with a blank stare. It's kind of weird. As much as I want the Giant's to win I was thinking the same thing.

Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

That Ravens loss was one of the ugliest I've ever seen. I could vent about that bogus penalty call on Heap, but the fact that they started the game with 3 fumbles shows how little they deserved a win. Steve McNair is too much of a veteran to be looking like a deer in the headlights. I won't even get started on Kyle Boller. I don't think there's enough blood pressure medicine in the world to calm me down. He needs to be benched, or Billick needs to be shot in the head. Why get Troy Smith to have him sit around twiddling his thumbs? I don't feel too bad though since no team I rooted for this weekend won.

But you're right Beth E, that call on Heap was atrocious. It was a TD. Troy Smith is not ready to play in the NFL. Boller did nothing to hurt his team yesterday. Teams do not win when they turn the ball over 6 times in one game.

Like goombah, I'm not exactly a Raven fan, but that was a bad call on Heap. I think the defensive holding on the next play was a make up call. What surprised me is that they then didn't pound it into the end zone. The Bengals D Line can be pushed around a little. The last interception came, I think, because Heap was expecting the change up, but got the fastball.

You have a good point there Goombah, and with any other respectable team I would agree with you 100 percent. But we're talking about the Raiders here. I'm not saying he should be in there this week. That would be ridiculous, but I do feel like he should be the starting quarterback by the end of the year because he is the definite face of the franchise for years to come. The fact is the Raiders are so bad that they need some new hope, and while you're right saying Culpepper and McCown should be the starters this year because they are more experienced in the league, Russell is the future. I think it would be better for him to take a beating behind a bad team now while the team builds around him and gets better. A little bit of how I feel is based on my jealousy of our cross-bay rivals, the 49ers who seem to be doing everything right to get the team back on track. So please Goombah, don't fault me, a near-hopeless Raiders fan, for hoping our future quarterback gets some playing time this year!

I don't fault you at all, Blibble. The teams we root for have been almost indentically as abysmal since 2003! At least your team went to the Super Bowl in 2002 and had chances to get there in '00 and '01. I agree they have been a total disaster since then, however. Was Chuckie Gruden's departure the beginning of the end?
I just think Russell will be brought along slowly since he was the longest hold since Bo Jackson in 1987! The Raiders are headed in the right direction, I think. Although the fact that they cut their 3rd round pick from the '07 draft is not a good sign.
Don't get me started about the Niners because they have the coach I wanted the Browns to hire in '05. The 49ers got Nolan and we got the Nutty Professor, Romeo Crennel. He's won 10 games out of 33 and won only one time against his division rivals.
Here's a quick snapshot of the Browns since 1999: 1) their top picks in the 1999-2002 drafts are all out of the NFL: Tim Couch, Courtney Brown, Gerard Warren, and William Green; 2) in '99, Brian Billick was on his way to being hired, but told the organization he merely wanted the interview experience in Baltimore. Carmen Policy told Billick he would no longer be considered for the job in Cleveland and we hire yet another coach with no previous NFL head coaching experience; 3) The deal that the Redskins rec'd for Ricky Williams was turned down former Browns GM Dwight Clark because he felt it would be "too many draft picks" for the Browns to deal with; 4) The only player to make the Pro Bowl since the Browns return, Jamir Miller, had a career ending injury the year following the Pro Bowl; 5) I'm too depressed to list more!
Here's hoping the Browns and Raiders meet in the AFC Championship within the next 3-4 years!

Klydon:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Cowher have somebody else picking the talent for the majority of his stay in Pitt?
I know there were power struggles with Cowher over the years, but in this day and age, the GM/Coach is not that successful. If, and that is a huge "if" in my mind, Cowher comes here, I do not want him being the GM and coach. He can more powerful than other head coaches, but the dual role has proven to be too much for guys like Holmgren and Parcells.
