It was a
great week of football. Some wild rides
and some surprising turn outs. Two more
unbeaten teams fell this week with the Patriots losing to the Browns, and the
Seahawks losing to the Colts. The Giants
continued to lose which was fantastic to watch, and Tom Coughlin is even redder
faced than usual this time of year. Hard
to admit here but I picked the Saints to win the Superbowl back in July, and as
painful as it is to watch them get to 5-0, I think that Sean Payton is just an
incredible coach and the difference for them this year. Here is my wrap of the games this week:

Houston was completely out classed in this
game, and looked horrible in all facets of the game. Schaub’s first pass went for a
touchdown. Too bad it was to the wrong
team. If you give SF three turnovers,
then you better be prepared for the thrashing that Houston received Sunday.

The score of
this game seems much closer than how it played out. The Saints had control of this game early on,
and never really looked too concerned with the Bears. Brees was precise and
efficient going 29-35 and 288yrds. Pierre Thomas looked great back in his
hometown, and his burst of speed on the screen play was surprising. Everyone keeps making a big deal of Rob Ryan
and his defense. That is not what
controlled this game. Time of possession
did. The Saints had the ball for 12
minutes more than the Bears did. That is
why they are 5-0.

This game
was tough to watch. Slow, boring and
sloppy. It was sloppy way before the
rain came too. Danny Amendola should
have sat out if he was not ready to play.
I had to kick my shoe off to count how many dropped balls he had. Tom Brady’s touchdown streak came to an end
at 52, and it seems like he had no shot at getting one either. Both teams looked bad in this snoozer, but
the Bengals did out play the Pats and got the win.

What a
difference one person can make sometimes.
Calvin Johnson was inactive for this game and so was the offense for the
Lions. Crosby did most of the scoring
for the Pack, and he seems to be back on track after a horrible year in
2012. This game will be better the next
time they play assuming Megatron is back.

This game
was great to watch. It is amazing how
far Andrew Luck has brought the Colts in one year. They have now beaten the 49rs and
Seattle. Impressive considering very few
people can name more than a few players on their team. The Seahawks were flying to the ball in the
first half and seemed to be in control, but the 4th quarter
domination by Indy was the story. 11
unanswered points down the stretch had Pete Carroll looking up at the sky for
help at the end of game.

Speaking of
luck! The Ravens pull out another win
that they did not play well enough to earn.
The lack of rushing game for Miami put the pressure on Tannehill to
carry the load. He did not do a bad job of it.
Going 21-40 for 307yds and putting your team in a position to tie with
33 seconds left. Darn kickers. He missed one that he should have had. Boom
Ravens win!

I am not
sure if Philly is good or the Giants are just that bad. Vick was killing them with his legs, but not
his arm. Just a matter of time before he
got hurt again running almost every time he dropped back. Foles on the other hand was an effective
passer, and kept the Eagles on track. I
do love the Giants losing again, but I do not want them to get the first pick
in the draft either.

The Titan’s
were trying to become the first team in the Superbowl era to go 5 games without
a turnover. Unfortunately, that didn’t
happen. This game was split in two. In
the first half the Chiefs dominated Tennessee and Fitzpatrick who started for
Locker did not look good. Tennessee
started to get things together in the second half, and made this a pretty good
game until KC woke up late in the 4th quarter to put the game
away.

My first
thought with this game is why even play the game. It was great to see Blackman come back from
suspension and have an impact right away.
He caught 5 passes for 136yds. It
was a great way to return to the field.
I still don’t get the Jags at the end of the day. They have 1st and goal at the two
and let Gabbert throw the ball every time.
If that is how you want your season to go then just keep calling stupid
plays and you will lose every game the same way. Maybe they are going for the first pick. If you are going to let Gabbert try and win
your games for you, then why not bring in Tebow? You can at least fill your seats!

This was a
surprise game for me. I did not expect
the Cardinals to get their act together at all.
They have looked inept on offense all season and managed to put a solid
performance together against Carolina. They dominated the entire second half
and the defense looked like they were a different team. The biggest surprise for me is that Carolina
had 2 weeks to prepare for this game, and played like that. It’s time to look at what is going on with
the coaching.

This was on
heck of a game. Back and forth the
entire game and for 57 minutes Romo held it together. You really can’t blame the loss on him. He threw for 506 yds. The most yards by any Cowboy ever. It did show a lot of other teams that if the
Broncos don’t fix their defense, then they are not going to finish this
thing. The Cowboys defense is not much
better and Monte may need to be held more accountable at this point. When 4 of the 5 teams you’ve played have
passed for over 400 yds, then you have a problem to address. This was a tough loss, but what a great game
to watch.

Was I
surprised by this score and result?
YES! Did I watch this game? NO!
Way too late for me.

Shocked
would not even be close to describing the outcome of this game. The Jets defense of old was back and making
plays. A blocked punt and a goal line
stance that actually game Atlanta 5 chances was a major deciding factor. I do have to mention the play of Geno
Smith. He was on target with 16-20
passes. Not a ton of yds at 199, but he
made them count. I hope Sanchez enjoyed
NYC, because he will be leaving soon.
The Jets are starting to believe in themselves and actually playing much
better than anyone expected. Big win!
