1. Miami
Perfectly coached last week. A pleasure to watch. They didn't have half the talent of the Broncos, but they hung in there, came up with a big goal-line stand, harassed Plummer a few times, then pulled away in the second half as the Broncos wilted in the heat. At home, the Fins are going to be tough. I'm telling you.

(By the way, it's so nice to have another good coach in the league -- it gives me the same fuzzy feeling I get when an enjoyable magazine launches. Why aren't there more good NFL coaches and good magazines? Combined, the number can't be higher than 14-15, right? Why is that?)

JETS (-6) over Dolphins
As much as I like the Dolphins, and as much as I like Saban ...

I can't. I just can't.

And my favorite part of the column:

(Time for the Ray Lewis E-Mail of the Month, courtesy of Tyler in Champaign, Ill.: "Did you happen to catch the 9/11 pregame ceremony before the Colts/Ravens game? It involved Ray Lewis running out from the tunnel waving the flag like a crazy man. I gotta say ... this was the scariest damn thing I have ever seen in my life. I used to think that Suge Knight was the scariest man on the planet ... I take that back. Seriously, the intensity Lewis had in his eyes before he ran out of the tunnel made me pee on myself. I think I screamed out a womanly "eeeehhhh!" when he made eye contact with me through the TV. And why aren't the Iraqi rebels seeing this? I swear, if our government sent Ray Lewis to Iraq, all hyped up and intense, and put a tunnel up for him to run out of, screaming and waiving the flag, they would all surrender on the spot. Guaranteed. And then they would ask for a change of pants.")

Gus doesn't need as good a week, he just has to come out on top of the turnover battle...
 
Its going to be a close game. If the o-line can stop making those stupid mistakes, and if Gus can play like he did last week....we will win.

And if we score more points than them, we win! :evil:
 
I enjoy his columns, but him saying we didn't have half the talent of the Broncos is flat out stupid.
 
That was a good read. Thanks posting it!
 
Didnt have half the talent? wow. I think he is way off.
 
Good read....coaching really makes a difference.

Bill Simmons is genuis writing at it's best. However, twice the talent is quite a stretch. I would say even talent. However, I never understood how the dolphins were so bad last year. Outside of the Patriots game of course. They lose one guy and the season was a complete disaster. The Patriots won two superbowls with Antoine Smith at the same position..... I guess the players just turned a deaf ear to Wanny. That has to be it.
 
Nice read - light fluff for a Friday.

Denver is more talented at QB (even though I don't like how jake runs a team)
Denver is more talented at Kicker
[edit]Denver has a more talented O-line as well.
Denver is more talented at RB right now as I'd take Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson over Ronnie Brown and the Chatman kid (ask me in week 6 and I'll go with Ronnie & Ricky)

That is it. This more talent thing I keep hearing is killing me.
 
Turnovers and penalties will be the key to the game.The team that makes less of them will win.
