SportingNews.com: Time to push the panic button?

With three weeks in the books, plenty of teams have bad records.

So which of them should or shouldn’t be panicking?

It’s the topic of our midweek submission for SportingNews.com.

I wanted to close this one with something witty or insightful, but I don’t really have anything else to say on the matter.

    Anxious to read this. I can’t wait to see how you tie all of these teams problems to Brett Favre.

    Nice article. Good points, and funny.
    I would quibble with the NFC East being the best division in football. The NFC Norris is pretty good, too.

    I think the NFL should push the panic button as a league. The over all quality of the NFL product has deteriorated. Too many individuals and not enough teams so to speak. Rules need to be addressed too. One example would be considering adopting the college interference rule. How about larger field dimensions to counter bigger and faster players? Use the Canadian dimensions. At any rate, the quality of play is or at least seems watered down.

    Floria is from West Virginia. He has never played football. He has no experience or insight regarding football that is valuable. He is from the armpit of america. I wish nothing but harm upon him and his family.

    Wow what a douche bag. I dislike Florio as much as the next guy but wishing harm upon someone and their family goes beyond jokes straight into douche baggery and bad karma.

    Where’s the update on Moss being lazy and trying to get out of New England so he can play with his boyfriend?

    The media needs to make up it’s mind. They say that the players dont like Mangini so he isn’t getting the most out of them. Romeo Crennel was coach here for a few years, every player coming and going said they loved him, he was one of the most player friendly coaches around, and last I checked his final season the Browns finished 4-12. Maybe the media needs to realize that the personel is the issue in Cleveland. ’07 was a great year but the team is much different now. Mangini is doing a good thing by starting Derek Anderson. Quinn was playing too conservative to not have a running game backing him up. Anderson will take his shots and gives the Browns a puncher’s chance at winning. P.S. why does the media hate Eric Mangini so much? What about Steve Spagnuolo or Raheem Morris, their teams have started 0-3 and I haven’t seen one negative story relating to those coaches suggesting they need fired before the halfway mark. Why does the media seem to have a personal axe to grind against Mangini?

    Hey Florio…the Redskins? Didn’t you pick them before the season as “sleeper team’? Well, they’re a sleeper team alright….they PUT YOU to sleep. Wow.

    Tennessee needs to start Young, you know, ’cause he said he is going to be a Hall of Famer…….

    Not time to hit the panic button yet..wait till next week and then kick the ever loving crap outta that thing.. The article actually did make a pretty good point, i don’t want the Bucs to have the worst record in the history of the NFL.I waited a long time to get rid of that and damn getting it back the year after Detroit took it.

    I think you have to include Oakland on this list, seeing how we have a quarterback that can’t hit a screen pass, and our defense is on the field 42 minutes a game.
    PANIC ! !

    I am sure the general managers and coaches will take this into consideration.
