Bengals fans are not extinct! We're even hearing whispers of mild confidence out of Cincinnati.
In Washington, the mood is ugly and would only grow worse if the Washington Redskins end the Detroit Lions' losing skid. In Tennessee, there's desperation (Vince Young?) as the Titanss stare at 0-3. And in New England, the equanimity of multiple playoff runs is tipping toward concern for the Patriots.
Week 3 begins the separation of pretenders and contenders. Check out what NFL fans had to say this week in their blogs.
Falcons-Patriots: "Expect Tom Brady to have a big game to make up for last week's horrible play. Atlanta is good, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone as good as Brady when he wants it." -- Jbreaux2
Redskins-Lions: "The Redskins need to find a way to put points on the board. ... The Lions come into this game playing much better in their first two games this year than they did at any point last season. ... I'm saying it right now that the Lions WILL win this game. Lions 23, Redskins 20." -- Brostie60184
Steelers-Bengals: "If the Cincy team that beat Green Bay shows up, this could be a great game. ... Ben Roethlisburger will feel he has something to prove, the D will be lights out. Pittsburgh 20, Cincinnati 16."
-- Feldman9000
Titans-Jets: "The music coming out of the land of the Titan is a tune of lost identity, confusion and disarray. ... Chris Johnson is a beacon of hope for them, but I don't know if playing the Jets is what can cure their blues. I'm sticking with Mr. Sanchez and Co. by a very brutal and defensive tune of 19-16."
