THINGS I THINK PETER KING DOESN'T KNOW I THINK I THINK, BUT I DO THINK

Thoughts on Week Two:

1. Is Thomas Jones the Drew Brees of this season? The fourth pick of the draft holds out and find himself out of work...

2. Mushin Muhammad may have 1,000 yards and 8 touchdowns. For a Bears receiver, that's pretty damn good.

3. Kyle Orton can play. Well.

4. If the Indianapolis Colts are going to win tough, physical football games like they did on Sunday with Peyton Manning looking like Patrick Ramsey, how are they going to lose?

5. If your answer was New England in Week 8, you are a smart, smart man.

6. Do you get the sense that the Colts and Steelers are going to be in the arms race for home field advantage and the Patriots will have to beat them both on the road to get back to the Super Bowl.

7. I'm not buying the Jets. That was an entirely unimpressive victory.

8. Remember when Lambeau Field was a home field advantage?

9. (I loved writing #8)

10. Just want to reiterate that the Vikings are not better without Randy Moss.

11. Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals had the worst final drive I've seen in a long time. If you don't know what happened, read the NFL.com play-by-play. It involved a failed attempt at spiking the ball and two false starts to run out the clock.

12. Carolina's front seven dominated New England even without Kris Jenkins.

13. J.P. Losman, welcome back to earth.

14. Even still, here's my favorite stat of the 2005 season. Trent Dilfer, Kyle Orton, Gus Freotte, Joey Harrington and Patrick Ramsey/Mark Brunell each have more wins than Brett Favre.

15. If the Chargers don't win Sunday at home versus the Giants, they'll finish last in the AFC West. After Sunday, they go to New England, home Pittsburgh, at Oakland, at Philly, home Kansas City, at Jets. A loss Sunday and there's no way they're better than 2-7.

16. Jacksonville had a very impressive loss this week. They may make the playoffs.

Ah, who am I kidding? BRING ON THE BENGALS!
