Overall it was a pretty entertaining week of football. A few surprises this week, and some great
matchups to see where everyone is at. My
Cowboys disappointed me again, but sole possession on first place in the NFC
East puts that back into perspective. Here
we go:
· Pittsburgh scored the first rushing
touchdown since week 15 of last year. I
wonder what Jerome Bettis is doing?
Maybe he should come back and save this team.
· The Giants lost again. They only had 3 sacks coming into this game (lowest
in the NFL) sad and awesome at the same time.
· Hoyer, the new Browns QB, did a good
job of managing the game and throwing for 269 yds. Weeden better get used to holding a clip board. The real star of this game was Joe Haden. If you can shut down AJ Green, then you
deserve the game ball.
· Matt Cassel looked good starting for
the Vikings. The Pittsburgh defense is not
what it used to be, but he did enough to win the game. It doesn’t hurt to have Adrian Peterson as
your running back either.
· The Chiefs had not turned over the
ball all season. Smith had two picks in
this game but the Chiefs are for real!
Solid ground game, and very few mistakes. They had the ball almost a full quarter more
than the Giants as well. They are
rolling!
· The Lions started off the game undisciplined
on defense. Matt Forte was virtually untouched
on his 53 yd run. If Cutler had not
killed the Bears chances by throwing 3 interceptions, and also fumbling once,
then the game could have been very different.
· Houston moved the ball at will
against the Seahawks. That game film is
going to be watched a lot by every team playing Seattle this year.
· The Ravens lose to Buffalo. The offense for Baltimore is out of
whack. They did 30 pass plays to 1 run
in the second half. I know your trying
to get your money out of Flacco, but seriously? He threw 5 interceptions. They
ran the ball only 9 times the whole game compared to 50 passes. You have Ray Rice. Hello?
The offensive coordinator should start looking.
· The Redskins looked horrible in the first
half, and I thought Shanahan was going into half time to work on his
resume. Apparently, he realized that he
was playing Oakland and you don’t have to do much to beat them. Just stop beating yourself. Lucky win!
Sorry I hate the Skins.
· Dez Bryant continues to impress and
dominate. One of the few bright spots on
the Cowboys. Sean Lee is another
one. Great linebacker! The ball should have been run more in my
opinion. It would have also helped to
have Philip Rivers from last year throwing.
He has improved a lot in the last year.
· The Steelers are 0-4 for the first
time since 1968. If you’re looking for a
long shot bet for Vegas, then this is it.
Teams that start 0-4 have a 1% chance of winning the Superbowl.
· Adrian Peterson = STUD!
· Josh Freeman was replaced this week
by Mike Glennon. I thought Glennon did a
good job in this game until the interception at the end. Freeman is demanding a trade. Hilarious!
He should stay and be the backup in Tampa. My guess is that he is going to be the backup
anywhere he goes right now.
· Peyton Manning put on a clinic with
regard to running the hurry up offense.
Great to watch.
· Romo’s pocket awareness is like watching
Stevie Wonder navigate the field.
· Tony Gonzalez has been in the league
17 years. He looks like he could play
another 10. Great hands.
· No quarterback does the sneak better
than Tom Brady.
· Julio Jones was taken out of this
game by Talib. What a great job, and MVP
of the game in my mind.
