In Which Trust Is Betrayed, Monkeys Are Thrown Off Backs, And Gifts Are Exchanged Early
Rob, I'm writing them off. It is OVER.
Well, THIS was interesting. It's at least the second time that I've seen that the Giants have gone with Levens over Tiki in the fourth quarter. Think his fumbling's on their minds much? What's happening to this team? Pennington was on point - the TD to Becht at the end was a great play at both ends. My station switched to the Eagles game after regulation, but it sounds like the Doug Brien situation was similar to the Tampa game in McNabb's rookie year, where the clock was running and Norm Johnson was late getting on the field.
Peter King's column sums up the Bucs' situation better than I could. The bigger question: are the Saints playing this season backwards?
If "hops" are vertical, then what's the horizontal equivalent? I ask, of course, because of the Ray Lewis interception.
Colts/Dolphins was odd - poor tackling from the Fish? Harrison fumbles? Ricky gets nothing? Indy actually WINS in Miami? Damn.
"What if the Bears had started the season with Chandler?" He'd be HURT right now, that's what. At least Thomas has found himself.
I don't remember if that's why the Eagles got rid of Rossum, but that didn't help any case he might have made. OMG A FREDDIE MITCHELL SIGHTING. Then Duckett and Dunn started running through what's left of the defensive line. Once again the tight ends became key. A good football player? From RUTGERS? Hell's frozen over. That was the first block of Akers' career, believe it or not. Believe this, too: the Eagles are 21-7 in their last 28 road games. The same thing happened on the Sheppard INT that happened on the Lewis INT LAST week. Falcons schmalcons. I'm sure Donovan will take it. You know, they'd be in the playoffs If The Season Were To End Right Now.
Inexplicability (it's a word NOW, damn it) Of The Week: Rams/49ers.
I don't know... on the one hand, I'm enjoying watching Spurrier and Snyder crash and burn, but on the other hand... it's the fucking Cowboys.
I'll tell you what happened: Moss got taken out of the game. The announcers said several times that the Vikings' LBs aren't fast enough to keep up with Green (and, like Chris said, couldn't tackle him when they did) Favre went nuts, as if he was legit pissed off about being only 2-9 in the Homerdome. I think the Packers just wanted this one more than the Vikings did.
Great, now ELAM'S hurt? When Anderson caught the TD from Kanell, my night was ruined. See below as to why. I didn't like Shanahan's decision to punt on 4th and 3 near the end, both for football and selfish reasons. It didn't sound like Madden was thrilled with it, either (and in retrospect, it basically cost them the game). "I am a believer!" Brilliant. Also brilliant was Belichick deciding to take the safety and free kick from the 20 instead of risking a block and putting the game out of reach. Brady saves the Pats AGAIN. How is this happening?
Fantasy Report: Got another surprisingly productive day from Blake, and Hines Ward returned, but Faulk sitting and Javon Walker's surprising game ended up killing me - I needed 23 points from Portis and Sharpe and, by my quick calculations, only got about 19. So now I'm 4-5 and get Kelvin, who's seemingly been thisclose to beating about four teams. The Butch-Max game may set some kind of Yahoo! record for fewest combined points. I wonder if we can find that out.
TOP 3:
1. Kansas City - Hey, it's not like they LOST
2. Indianapolis - Best start in over 20 years
3. New England - Belichick winning with bandages and IVs
BOTTOM 3:
30. Oakland - Falling apart at the seams
31. Atlanta - What's left to change?
32. San Diego - QB flap the last thing this team needs
