The NFL has problems that, over time, may destroy the game.  Players are bigger, faster and stronger resulting in more frequent catastrophic injuries.  Injury lawyers are lining up on head injuries and with rule changes that are forcing lower hits, career ending leg injuries will have the attorneys salivating.  Playoff and Super Bowl teams are now, more than ever I think, determined by team health at the end of the season.  Then, there is the issue of fan behavior at the stadium versus the high definition, big screen home experience.  More and more people are opting for Sunday Ticket Red Zone so they can track their fantasy team.

Not small issues.

Yeah...the game certainly is a mess right now.  Damned lawyers....

We're seeing a lot of drama here in DC regarding the benching...heck, the deactivation of Robert Griffin III.  Coach Mike Shanahan said that Kansas City Chiefs only had two sacks in their last FIVE games....and they had SIX sacks of RGIII in that debacle last Sunday.  So, for Griffin's safety and health...and with a 3-10 record, he thought that having a healthy "franchise" quarterback in the offseason would show a net gain for the organization next September.

....of course, Shanahan is in the last year of his 5 year deal and after seeing Haynesworth and McNabb have issues with the Shanahans....his son Kyle is the Offensive Coordinator...people are saying that Shanny humiliated RGIII by deactivating him for the last 3 games of the season.

Then there is the owner Dan Snyder......oy vey!

Still #1 in the Power Rankings my Seahawks.

And with that, the Seahawks become the first team to lose and stay No. 1 in our Power Rankings. Hard to knock 'em too much for a two-point loss to a desperate 49ers team in San Francisco. If anything, that game just reiterated how tightly compacted the NFC's best teams are, talent-wise.

I'm surprised Bills fans still exist considering how bad they have been for so long. Nine years without a winning season, 13 without a playoff berth, both the longest active streaks... it's a wonder Buffalo even renewed the Bills' lease.

There is a surprising amount of hope in Buffalo this year (I'm from WNY; long stopped being a fan but I don't wish them harm) with the new coach and starting QB... it's the kind of optimism we haven't really seen since the Drew Bledsoe era of the early 2000s, before they dragged Marv Levy out of retirement.

With the Patriots on the decline, the Jets in chaos and the Dolphins being, well, the Dolphins, Buffalo may have a shot.

Imagine the suck being a Browns fan....
