Perhaps inspired by the below post, as well as the Chicago-San Francisco halftime score, I've decided to try something new and have a weekly "Sunday Thoughts" blog where all the commentary will go into the comments section.
If it works out well, maybe we will open the comments section to everybody next week as we can't watch every single game at the same time.
So with that... away we go!

David Carr Season QB Rating: 97.9
David Carr Today: 42.4
And... David Carr is immediately replaced by S. Rosenfels.
Rosenfels first pass? Intercepted. Go Texans!
So Tampa Bay's Gradkowski just completed a pass and recovered the receiver's fumble. I wonder when the last time a QB recovered his own WR's fumble was.
Kansas City with 4th and 1 at the Seattle 34... Let's see if they will be idiotic and punt it away.
And nope. Larry Johnson = beast.
Speaking of beasts, the Chicago Bears are currently on an 8:00 minute, 82 yard drive that has yet to end.
Whoa. SF comes up with a defensive stop for the second time today!
The reward for their hard work: ball at their own 1 yard line.
Sage Rosenfels passed to Owen Daniels to the left for 1 yard gain (Kris Brown missed PAT)
Who to whom? And a missed PAT!!
Anyways, the Niners' comeback has begun! 31 points to go!
So... in about 20 minutes the game that everyone has been looking forward to will begin!
And instead of showing this battle of two teams with a combined 11-1 record, CBS has decided to treat Bay Area viewers to... the Oakland Raiders!
Charming.
And Philadelphia loses again.
And San Francisco follows suit.
Interesting stat:
CHI points allowed 1st half: 0, SF points allowed 2nd half: 0
And now here's C. Palmer, at his own 17 with 19 seconds left. Let's see if he can produce something Elway-esque.
Or not.
(:13) (Shotgun) C.Palmer sacked at CIN 18 for -5 yards (P.Kerney). FUMBLES (P.Kerney), RECOVERED by ATL-M.Boley at CIN 25. M.Boley to CIN 25 for no gain (E.Ghiaciuc). {The sack is for 0 yards, as the ball was recovered beyond the line of scrimmage}
Ouch.
Seattle's Senaca Wallace now gets his chance at a two minute drill for the tie.
While Larry Johnson comes up with this ridiculous line: 181 total yards, 4 TD's.
And the Raiders game is underway!!!
Woot! Raiders-Steelers! What a matchup!
Indy starts fast with two big pass plays.
As Denver has just given up what I believe is the most yards from scrimmage on one play so far this year (27 yards).
That too.. on a busted pass play.
Timeout on the field.
So... Z. Crockett gets the start for Oakland.
Denver comes up with the stop. Now it's up to Mr. Plummer to engineer a 90 yard drive.
Tomlinson: 2 TDs in less than 12 minutes.
F. Washington intercepted B. Roethlisberger for no gain.
But the guy can WIN!!
Indy so far: 2 penalties/20 yards
Randy Moss drops an easy catch... This after 4 drops last week.
Walter's been sacked 3 times, and the first quarter isn't half over.
M. Bulger sacked by S. Merriman
Nice job, Merroids.
Nnamdi Asomugha intercepted Ben Roethlisberger for 24 yards (Sebastian Janikowski made PAT)
Well, Walter and his 3 sacks have outplayed Roethlisberger and his sack and 2 INTs. What a matchup.
Meanwhile, a big 3rd and 6 coming up for Indy on the fringes of FG range.
And Manning converts.
Indy penalty watch: 4/40 yards
Indianapolis strikes first: 3-0.
Denver D giving up a whole bunch of yards thus far.
J. Addai: 6 rush, 35 yds. That's an impressive start against this Broncos rush defense.
T. Bell: 2 rush, 4 yds. That's not.
Jake Plummer goes up top... to David Kircus. 45 yards on the play.
Ind penalty watch: 5/55 yds.
Denver continues its impressive drive upfield... On both its posessions so far it has faced first down from its own 10.
Interesting how Tatum didn't get a goalline carry...
I bet if one were to be at Invesco right now, one's ears would not be too happy.
Battle of defensive prowess, or offensive futility? You decide!
Manning continues to pick apart this Denver secondary... is another Champ Bailey goalline pick in store?
Well. Denver's end zone is definitely difficult to get into. Manning and crew denied for the 3rd straight time.
At the half:
Broncos 14, Colts 6
Broncos 47 rush yds, Colts 45
Broncos 128 pass yds, Colts 132
Plummer 2 TD's, Manning 0 TD's
Plummer QBr: 133.9
Manning QBr: 99.0
Interesting.
A 50 yard kickoff return for Oakland. Cowher can't be too pleased.
Roethlisberger QBr: 36.1
Walters QBr: 43.8
Art Shell... you are reaching Dennis Green levels of stupidity. Calling back to back pass plays on 2nd and 3rd down from the 1 yards line!?
Run the ball!!!
S. Merriman: 5 Tackles, 3 Sacks.
A week ago, I would have thought that impressive. No longer.
Nick Harper injured for the Colts... Plummer already ripped apart the Indy secondary on the long passes in the first half. This can only hurt.
And Indy starts with great field position.
And Ernster got a miserable 26 yards net on that last punt.
3 straight passes towards Champ Bailey.. he's broken up two.
Manning finds the end zone with ridiculous efficiency.
Odd decision by Dungy not to go for two here. Addai's looked awesome all game.
Big false start penalty on Matt Lepsis' replacement, Erik Pears.
Tatum Bell also mysteriously missing from action.
Big momentum shift as Indy gains possession at the Denver 12.
Wow. Broncos with an 8:54, 14 play, 91 yard drive. Good stuff.
This has turned out to be quite a game. 4th quarter we go: DEN 21, IND 20.
Probably the biggest play of the game so far upcoming: 3rd down for Indy.
And Manning converts yet again.
Guy is just unreal.
Another big third down: 3rd and 1 from the Denver 30... on the fringes of field goal range.
And finally, Denver stops the third down conversion.
46 yd FG? or 4th down try?
48 yard field goal, actually, and it's good.
23-21.
Mike Bell having himself an awesome ground performance.
28-23. What a game...
Manning... wow.
1-10-OAK 45 (1:32) B.Roethlisberger pass short right to [] to PIT 37 for 8 yards (F.Washington).
"[]" eh?
HUGE 3rd and 9 coming up for Denver.
This is the game right here.
Elam good from 49.
31-31...
Hahaha:
2-13-OAK 33 (5:37) A.Walter pass short middle intended for J.Porter INTERCEPTED by J.Porter (D.Townsend) at OAK 47. J.Porter to OAK 40 for 7 yards (J.Porter).
And a tough loss for Denver as Mr. Winner wins it for Indy.
1st-4, Oakland 4
B. Roethlisberger passed to N. Washington to the right for 49 yard gain
The best play of this game, and the clock runs out. Game over. That was pathetic.
