Signal Finder, Week 6: PHI @ NYJ, TEN @ TB (?), NE @ DAL
The Jets have never beaten the Eagles? Really? Also Reid is 8-0 after a bye week so this should be set in stone. The hell are those things? That's some poor tackling right there, friends. Hey, a Thomas Jones sighting. I'm watching the Jets and they remind me of last year's Redskins with their complete and utter inability to finish a game. (Eagles 16, Jets 9)
41 points? To Cleveland? Really? (Browns 41, Dolphins 31)
Seriously, this plays right into the Patriots' strength. See? Uh-oh, there's a turnover or something. Why am I not at all concerned about the outcome here? Oh, that's right, because the Patriots are UNSTOPPABLE CYBORGS. (Patriots 48, Cowboys 27)
Signal Finder, Week 7: SF @ NYG, BAL @ BUF, TEN @ HOU (close to the end), ARZ @ WSH (end), back to SF @ NYG (end), CHI @ PHI
Look, people, I know Brady's had his problems here. And I know the '72 Dolphins are starting to get to the beginning stages of getting a little nervous. But it's not happening today. Trust me. Why isn't Beck starting, by the way? What's the point? One thing that seems to have been overlooked is that the Dolphins' defense seemed to get really old really fast. And that's not just from seeing what the Patriots did. Taylor: "We can't win in America. Maybe we can win overseas." (Patriots 49, Dolphins 28)
WTF Ken Whisenhunt. You're supposed to call a play that has a chance in hell of working. (Redskins 21, Cardinals 19)
CBS not being able to show the end of the Titans game live led to the NFL Today crew having to call it in between breaks of analyzing what had just happened and showing instantaneous replays. It got hilarious at times. Some nice throws by Collins on that last drive. What an ugly kick. Of course, when you've done it nine times before already (counting the extra points) your leg's gotta get tired, right? (Titans 38, Texans 36)
Did That Actually Happen?: Some red zone touchdowns would be nice. Hell, some excitement would be nice. This is the only acceptable use of the squib kick, by the way. No exceptions. And it really is working and is all the Eagles have done since the one Akers kicked out of bounds. It's not like the Eagles can't move the ball, which is the frustrating part. Finally! It should be noted that Donovan missed Schobel against similar coverage in the first half. That's a good kick. Um, guys? Guys? GUYS! It's Brian, not Bob! Are you kidding me? Brian Griese did that? I don't know if it would have been better or worse had Rex done it. I think it's time for this team to break character and start panicking. (Bears 19, Eagles 16)
This Week's Game That Shouldn't Have Been This Close: Cowboys 24, Vikings 14. That's a good thing, by the way.
While I do agree with Kornheiser that there's a sense of "Hey, don't forget about us" with the Colts, they'll never admit it publicly and I wish he'd stop harping on it. I wonder how many fantasy owners that Kenton Keith touchdown pissed off. Same thing with Peyton's sneak. There goes Garrard. And there goes MJD. Wow, in all of the talk about the league's worst receiving corps, the Jaguars have been forgotten about. Seriously, they're not even trying now. (Colts 29, Jaguars 7)
FANTASY REPORT
aPaFL:CI (6-1, W2): Despite leaving Kenny Watson's 29 points on the bench and trading Boldin to Jet not figuring that both he and Warner would actually play, I got a good win over OJ's White Broncos.
JackSux 4 (3-4, W1): Nobody's out of it! Certainly not us after putting a hurting on Johnny's Spartans led by Watson, Coles, and the Giants' defense. Rob's in first place and I've actually scored more points than he has. :)
