Rapid fire returns....
Indy won. Wow. At least Peyton didn't throw for 300 yards so that's a positive for St. Louis.
Green Bay won. Wow. It's only Cleveland...it's like preseason football. So who's left for the Browns that can play QB? Is Bernie Kosar available?
Houston beat the Niners in one of the better games today...I'll give the Niners this: they fight to the end. On the downside, they are starting to tank their season. They NEED a winn next week if they want to keep pace with the Falcons.
Steelers derailed the Viking bandwagon big time. One thing Vikings fans need to remember is the Favre, though holding the TD record, also holds the interception record. Against a D like the Steelers, it was just a bad matchup. Steelers have rediscovered their running game too...the champs are seriously starting to look like a team that could repeat.
Patriots in England. How odd was that? Patriots beat the Bucs. How normal is that?
Chargers are also starting to pick up some steam. LT may be going downhill, but Darren Sproles may be their next big thing. Oh, and can someone tell KC that disguising themselves in different uniforms doesn't fool anyone; we know they are the Chiefs and that they suck...even with the state of Texas on their domes.
Bills beat Panthers...I'm really not exactly sure how. Carolina outgained the Bills and generally beat them all over the field. How Dick Jauron pulled that win out of his ass is beyond me.
Hey Raider fan! Looks like Jamarcus Russell isn't the answer! Neither is Tom Cable or Richard Seymour or dressing up like Darth Vader on HGH. Al Davis needs to just retire from personnel decisions. As long as he is in control, the Raiders will NEVER be good again. They certainly made Mark Sanchez look like Peyton Manning.
OKay, was anyone else seriously stunned by the Bears-Bengals game? I didn't see it coming. I knew the Bears are not a great team, but what the hell was that? Jerry Angelo better be looking for the Unemployment office soon. Ron Turner too. In fact, it is my opinion that both Turner brothers (Ron and Norv) need to be banned from coaching in the NFL. At least I have Ochocinco on my fantasy team...
Is any team in the league LESS PREDICTABLE than the Dallas Cowboys? What the heck was that? The Falcons are a dominant team...a top tier NFC team...and Dallas pounded em. How about them Cowboys? How about them giving me a migraine...pick a personality and stick with it please!
Arizona is starting to look impressive. Three straight wins on the road. Look out for Beanie Wells...if he has figured out how to hang on to the football, the Cards are going to be dangerous. On the other hand, the Giants shot themselves in the- dare I say it- leg (Thank you Plaxico Burress). They should have won that game but couldn't run the football for crap.
Finally, Miami and New Orleans. Wow. The Saints were down 24-3. I thought they had finally fallen to earth. Brees just looked bad. Miami was all over him. Then came the fumble and WHAM, another Saints win. At this point I am officially jumping on the Saints bandwagon and shouting at the top of my lungs..."WHO DAT!" What a remarkable performance! They have stumbled on the way to beat the Dolphins too...force them to throw the ball and get them out of that Wildcat. BTW, was I the only one who was surprised at Ricky Williams' speed? That 60+ yard TD run was just...wow. I hear things move slower when you are stoned...so maybe he was going that fast because to him it felt slow...
BTW, is anyone actually going to WATCH or CARE ABOUT the Washington-Philly game tomorrow?
On a side note, ESPN is about to go all-Yankees all-the-time. They won the pennant and are going to the Series. Thank God for Comcast Sports Net and the NHL network...
.
Good decision.
