Chris Brown got a little banged up vs. the Texans, hopefully he's not 100%, short article regarding below.

Another top runner, Tennessee's Chris Brown, hurt his right shoulder against Houston. Brown was hurt when tackled by Texans safety Jason Simmons after catching a 5-yard pass from Steve McNair on third-and-10. Brown walked off on his own, but he held his right arm stiffly at his side.

A doctor examined Brown on the sideline, and he was able to move his arm. But a team spokesman said it was a shoulder burner.

Brown came into the game as the AFC's leading rusher with 556 yards, including 100-yard performances in four of his first five games.

Simmons sustained a concussion and was lost for the rest of the game.

So, who came out worse in that? I would have to say Simmons!!

yes, no problem...even without Moss. the vikes might be struggling in part of their game, however, score enough points as usual and they'll be fine. Titans, no real ground threat, no real WR threats, i like our chances.

31 vikes
24 titans

Yeah, the Vikings can beat the Titans. The Vikings may have defensive and turnover problems but so far this has been the season of the offense. Most the league's top rated offenses are winning while most the league's top defenses are losing.

Of course, we beat the Tits...like someone said earlier this IS "The Year of the Offense" and we got offense.

It is strange. Of the top 5 "total" defense (I'll get into this later) three of the teams have losing records. Denver and Pittsburgh are the only two top 5 defenses to have winning records. Now if you expand to top 10 defenses, 5 of the 10 teams have a winning record (Broncos, Steelers, Ravens, Falcons, Seahawks). The top 5 "total" offenses, 4 of the 5 teams (Vikings, Colts, Rams, Broncos) have a winning record. You expand that to the top 10, 8 of the teams have a winning record, and the 1 of the teams has a .500 record!

Now if you go into scoring offense and defense (which is more important IMO) things balance out. In scoring defense 8 of the top 10 teams have winning records. In scoring offense 7 of the top 10 teams have winning records and 2 are at .500 currently.

Keep in mind that we are notoriously evil with the playbook.

Nice to see you again, Daredevil25!
