A Nightmare in Buffalo, Raiders Win for Late Owner, Is it Now Tebow Time? And More

It just keeps getting worse for the Eagles. Maybe Freddy Krueger is killing their Dream Team bit by bit. It would explain a lot. Anyway, their latest loss comes at the hands of the Bills. They went into Buffalo needing a win to help keep pace and gain some momentum or something. Things went bad and they went bad early. Pretty soon, it was 28-7 in favor of the Bills. Michael Vick and the Eagles did manage a comeback, however, bringing it within 7 with about 9 minutes left. However, a 4th INT thrown by Vick (not his fault, dropped ball) with less than 2 minutes to go sealed the Eagles fate. Bills win, 31-24, and are now 4-1 while the Eagles are 1-4. Just keeps getting worse for the Philly.

Though not a bad record like the Eagles, the Raiders faced a low this weekend with the passing of their great legendary owner, Al Davis, just a day before their game with the Texans. This was no doubt for Al. The Raiders would have a close bout with the Texans in Houston. They were winning the game while Matt Schaub looked for a go ahead TD only to be picked off by Michael Huff in the end zone on the final play of regulation. Raiders win an emotional game, 25-20. Not a great stat game for the Silver and Black but they did what Al Davis wanted: "Just Win, Baby."

As for the rest of the league, Tebow mania has seemingly struck Denver. Tebow came into the game and got his team within 2 points of the Chargers scoring 2 TD in the fourth; one by air (screen pass) and one by ground. However, the Chargers survived Tebow's 4th quarter rally and won anyway, 29-24. Is Tebow now the starter in Denver? The Sunday Night game featured the slow starting Packers finishing strong as they beat the Falcons, 25-14. Aaron Rodgers comes through in the 2nd half throwing 2 TD passes. The Seahawks stun the Giants, 36-25, as Charlie Whitehurst threw the go ahead TD pass with 2:37 left. Turnovers galore in this game but it was the last one that buried the Giants. Brandon Browner of the Seahawks picked off Eli Manning and took it 94 yards for a TD with 1:08 to go. Lastly, the Pats beat the Jets, 30-21. Nice even play calling for the Pats as BenJarvus Green-Ellis led the rushing attack with 27 carries, 136 yards, and 2 TDs.

A big week 5 that raises many questions around the league. Are the Eagles going to recover from this 1-4 start? How will the Raiders organization do without Al Davis running the show? Is it time for Tebow in Denver? ARE THE 49ERS FOR REAL?!?!?!?!
