Written by John Edward BetancourtWe are finally getting into the meat of the 2014 NFL Season. This is where the playoff picture begins to take shape and teams we thought were destined for greatness, discover that next year might be the better one. But before another season kicks off, let's look at the top stories from last week in the NFL. 1. New owners in Buffalo, same mediocre performance. Yes, the Pegula family has taken over the reins for the late Ralph Wilson and I'm shocked quite frankly to not see the Bills playing better. New owners mean big changes for the players that they clearly don't need. Everyone in that franchise needs to be concerned and well...they need to play better. 2. Brian Hoyer is making life difficult for the Browns. The Cleveland Browns are a troubled franchise as is, but they are facing one hell of a quarterback controversy. Johnny Football has yet to see the field for any extended amount of time simply because Hoyer is playing some amazing football. It puts the Browns in a weird place come the end of the season. They either pay Hoyer and let Manziel ride the pine, or roll the dice on the untested QB and let Hoyer walk and potentially lead a different franchise to glory... 3. Did the Raiders improve without Dennis Allen or was the Chargers defense just that bad? The Raiders put up some solid points and nearly walked away with the win in Oakland but...almost isn't good enough in the NFL. If they start winning games then the decision to fire Dennis Allen this early is clearly justified. But if the nightmare season continues, is it time for the franchise to fire Reggie McKenzie as well? Time will tell. 4. A tip of the hat to Dallas. I, along with many other people expected business as usual in Dallas. We expected more of Romo choking and losing the big game, a defense that couldn't stop a kitten from scoring and well...it's been quite the opposite. Tony Romo is playing the ball well and looking like the franchise quarterback fans in Texas have been waiting for and the Defense is scary good. They gave the Seahawks trouble all day and need to be taken seriously. 5. Peyton Manning draws closer to another record. With another three touchdown performance from Peyton Manning against the Jets the career touchdown record is now in reach. Chances are we will witness history again from Manning on Sunday when the Niners come into Denver, and I for one certainly hopes he breaks the record at home. Should make for an amazing night if he tosses another three touchdowns.
