So the Buffalo Bills are going to sit EJ Manuel and start Kyle Orton. I suppose it is justified when you look at Manuela€?s quarterback rating and his body language; EJ did not look confident. He had a win at Chicago and a dominate win over Miami, but I guess the two losses against San Diego and Houston say more. Still, you are taking a risk with his confidence as a first round draft pick and the only quarterback taken in that round last year. And if you dont live up to those expectations fast, the pressure increases fast. I cant help but think the decision to start Orton is also what the Bills organization sees in practice. Orton is a highly experienced player that is similar to Alex Smith. Youa€?re not going to win because of him, but youa€?re not going to lose because of him either. Against Houston, Manuel had three rookise to work with. Sammy Watkins of course but also Cyrus Kouandjio at guard and Seantrel Henderson at tackle. To start one rookie is a risk, to start three says we are building for the future. Orton will do a good job in Detroit come this Sunday but I still think Manuel is the future. In Jacksonville the Jaguars have a long way to go but Blake Bortles has a confidence about him that is unique. Similar to Teddy Bridgewater in Minnesota. You can tell if a player a€?has ita€? early and both Bortles and Bridgewater a€?have it.a€? The difference between the two may be durability. Bortles is a big man in features and Bridgewater not so much. In Philadelphia, I understand that points are everything but when you lose a game to the 49ers and the time of possession is 17:43 to 42:17; that cana€?t happen again. Not much of an idea what the Eagles offensive staff was thinking the final two plays of the game as I thought the play calling was illogical. I really like Nick Foles as a quarterback but he is going through a different type of test right now. Last week it was a cheap shot by Washington Redskin Chris Baker and on Sunday it was the entire defence of San Francisco. Foles got beat up the last two weeks and with a game pending against St Louis it will be interesting to observe his confidence. Everything went so well last year for Foles, not so much these last two weeks. In Carolina, as much as it was the Panthers and Ravens it was also Steve Smith. Now I realize that Carolina released him for salary cap reasons and age, and I realize at 35 he is playing like he is 25. But it sure would have been nice instead of talking about how Carolina did him wrong, also mentioning how they also did him right. Smith was a third round, 59 receiver and made millions of dollars and lived a football superstar life; because of the Carolina Panthers. In Green Bay there was not one punt in the Packers 38-10 win. I will never underestimate Aaron Rodgers again. To me he may have the best arm ever in football and when he finds his grove it is spectacular to watch. A good set of receivers can make a quarterback look good but with Rodgers he makes everyone look good. He said relax and he was right. As for the Cowboys, I would not want to be Houston come Sunday. Really good observation by Cris Collinsworth about how the present Cowboys look a lot like the great Cowboy teams of the 90s: solid offensive line, DeMarco Murray as Emmitt Smith, Dez Bryant as Michael Irving and Jason Witten as Jay Novacheck. The Cowboys of the 90s were pretty simple in their approach to winning football and the Cowboys of the present are pretty simple too: Establish the line of scrimmage with Murray and go from there. The pass rush and defence is better than expected and remember they lost their best individual player in Sean Lee at middle linebacker before the season started. The big test will be October 12th when they travel to Seattle. If they win in Seattle, then they are for real. And finally, Monday Night Football, New England at Kansas City. The game looked like the Sunday night game in Dallas. One team, Kansas City, executed at an extreme level and the other team, New England, struggled in every quarter. Over 300 yards of offence was remarkable for the Chiefs and when the Chiefsa€? next opponent, San Francisco, watches that video, they better be prepared. At the start of the season Peter Kingssaid Jamaal Charles was the best running back in football. I like Marshawn Lynch but the argument for Charles has its merit. If there is a stadium advantage in NFL football, CenturyLink Field in Seattle is No. 1, but Arrowhead is the next best. Very surprising to see a New England team start two rookies on the offensive line, in that atmosphere a challenge for any player, for a rookie even more so. One other observation: I saw New England players slipping all over the field all game; Chiefs players almost none. It may only be Week 5 coming up but with the Patriots playing the undefeated Cincinatti Bengals on Sunday Night they easily could be 2-3. Ia€?ve never seen the Patriots dominated quite like that before, how they respond will be interesting to watch. Ia€?ve never seen Tom Brady taken out of a game with 10 minutes to go. How he responds will be interesting to watch too. Justin Turner Jersey . Despite 11-1 records, theyre out and Big Ten winner Ohio State is into the national semifinals. Jackie Robinson Jersey .

Then he got back at the team that released him five days before the start of last season, hitting a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning of the first game at Fenway Park since Boston won the World Series last October.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Nearly every time Tom Brady dropped back, he hit his target.In one of the best performances of his brilliant career, the New England Patriots quarterback threw five touchdown passes and completed 30 of 35 passes. And four of the incompletions were drops.The Patriots stayed on their roll with their fourth straight win Sunday, 51-23 over the sputtering Chicago Bears. So did Brady, who has thrown for 1,268 yards, 14 touchdowns and no interceptions in those games.I love coaching Tom. Ive been fortunate to have him the whole career since hes been here, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. He does a great job of executing the team game plan.He certainly did on Sunday with three touchdown passes to Rob Gronkowski and one each to Brandon LaFell and Tim Wright.And he did it against a Bears team trying to rebound from a tumultuous week that began with a 27-14 home loss to the Miami Dolphins. Afterward, wide receiver Brandon Marshall was heard screaming in an emotional locker room. Coach Marc Trestman and quarterback Jay Cutler downplayed the postgame scene during the week.Whatever happened, it didnt help the Bears play better.After Sundays defeat, Marshall told reporters waiting to enter the locker room, put your ears closer to the door. But no outbursts were heard.Brady was meticulous, Trestman said and the Patriots did everything on offence beautifully.New England (6-2) scored on all five of its possessions in the first half — and one of Chicagos. The Bears (3-5) fell behind 45-7 early in the second half and lost for the fourth time in five games.Brady passed for 354 yards with a completion percentage of 85.7, third best in his 227 games during the regular season and playoffs. His passer rating of 148.4 was his eighth highest in his 15-year career.Theres a lot of (defensive) looks Ive seen over the years, he said, so its hard to really surprise me with certain things.Defensive end Rob Ninkovich scored with 55 seconds left in the first half on a 15-yard return of Cutlers fumble, the Patriots third touchdown in 57 seconds.That stretch was agonizing, said Cutler. I think everyones surprised. You dont expect to get out and beat like that.Since losing to the Bears 46-10 in the Super Bowl ending the 1985 season, the Patriots are 7-1 against them.Chicago was 3-1 on the road and had hope after last weekends implosion. So imagine how the coming wweek will be after the blowout.dddddddddddd.On their first five possessions, the Patriots scored on a 6-yard pass to Gronkowski, a 23-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski, and passes of 1 yard to Wright, 2 yards to Gronkowski and 9 yards to LaFell.The defence got into the act when Darrelle Revis intercepted Cutlers desperation pass on the last play of the first half.Were a team on a mission, said Revis, looking ahead to next Sundays home game against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. This is going to be two great teams going out there.The Patriots started the second half with an 80-play drive capped by Bradys 46-yard touchdown pass to Gronkowski.The tight end is a big, physical guy, Bears linebacker Sean McClellin said. He can run well. He had great hands. And when you put that with a quarterback like tom Brady, hes going to be tough to defend for anyone.Gronkowski had nine catches for 146 yards before leaving midway through the third quarter with dehydration, and LaFell had 11 receptions for 124 yards.The Patriots havent lost since a 41-14 rout at Kansas City.We just stuck together as a team, Gronkowski said. When we win, we stick together. When we lost we stick together.Cutler finished with 20 completions in 30 attempts for 227 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.The rout was in sharp contrast to the Patriots previous game, a 27-25 win over the lowly New York Jets secured when Nick Folks 58-yard field goal attempt was blocked on the last play on Oct. 16.With extra time to prepare after that Thursday night win, the Patriots were ready. Their first two offensive plays were 19-yard gains on a pass to LaFell and a run by Jonas Gray.The Bears punted on their first three series before Cutlers 25-yard touchdown pass to Matt Forte made it 17-7. Cutler also threw a 20-yarder to Martellus Bennett that cut the lead to 45-15 and a 10-yarder to Alshon Jeffery that made it 48-23.NOTES: Forte rushed for 114 yards after entering the game as the NFLs fifth leading rusher. He began the day as the leagues top pass catcher with 54 receptions and added six. .. Brady improved to 99-16 at home, including playoff games. His 87 regular-season wins at Foxborough in his first 100 starts are an NFL record. ... The Patriots won their 13th straight game against an NFC North opponent.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
