If the Bears could start a game with a defense scheme that's rooted in 21st Century football theory, that'd be great. I'm kind of tired watching linebackers positioned to cover the option on teams with decent O-line and a competent running back.
Thank you Buffalo for running my all-time favorite play - the fake field goal - and running it perfectly. Not much is better.
I might actually watch next Monday night's game against my better judgement now that Favre has "taken control". Not that I have any love for either the Vikings or the Packers, but I'd LOVE to watch that guy put the career interception record farther out of reach. It will be a game where I root for the trainers.

I like the Jets this year if only for the reason that Rex Ryan has reinvigorated what was already a near top-10 defense last year; and, he is intent on giving the ball more to a true potent playmaker in Leon Washington. And, so far, I like what I've seen from all aspects of their aerial arsenal, even if it is lead by rookie Sanchez, a QB "not yet ready for the pro level".
I love defense; had I watched football in the 80s instead of wondering the hell this crap on the radio was and studying economics for the third time, I might've adopted Chicago as a lifelong team I'd root for... I don't know what to think of the 21st century Bears, though, 'cause I haven't seen that much of them. I hear that Johnny Knox is now "the man" in returns, so I guess I can look forward to what once was an electric special teams in Chicago.
You should have also seen the gem that was week 1's misdirect field-goal touchdown, courtesy of Wash. at NYG. Other than this one play, the Washington offense has been quite forgettable and highly regrettable.
Watch it here The_Jazz; very cheer-worthy, at least in my opinion:

To note: I "officially" adopted Green Bay as a team that I will follow for the past & next eight years. I just like their offense at this point, their defense is improving, in particular, their secondary, is still among the elite around the NFL, and their uniforms just look
fast. I can't quite explain it, but it makes them seem to move even quicker off the step with that color scheme aiding them. It's alright that I don't know where Green Bay is actually situated in Wisconsin. I'll find out eventually. Plus, I think both teams that will be playing next Monday Night possess upwards of 5 of the notable 7 good receivers present in the division.
