-Was that Jay Cutler or Rex Grossman running the show in Chicago last night? The Bears offense looked like a total disaster. Jay Cutler may have broke that one guy's record for most consecutive times hitting an opposing defensive back in the hands. The guy really doesn't value the football. To be fair, the Chicago wideouts are the worst in the league. Additionally, they are not yet on the same page as Cutler. Green Bay should have won that game by a lot more, but I still think if Urlacher can play and be effective that the Bears will end up the better team. The Pack defense got pressure by sending tons of blitzers, singling up on the Chicago wideouts and taking advantage of a confused offense. Chicago's D was able to get pressure using their 4 down lineman.
-The Bungles did it again. One of the most inconceivable losses I can remember. Can you imagine being a Bengals fan? You go to the game and sit through what I imagine was a disgustingly poor 1st half where no one can score. It's 6-0 late in the game against the lowly Broncos and you finally punch it in for the win. Finally, it was worth sitting through the disaster and then that happens. Have to imagine half the people in attendance will never go back.-Dallas offense looked much sharper without TO. Can't wait to see the Buffalo offense look less sharp with him! Go Western New York!
-Can you draw it up any better than McNabb getting hurt week one? Now Philly is forced to go to Kevin Kolb (who my buddy in Philly said looked terrible yesterday) for a week. Then they have to hope and pray that McNabb will be ready to go otherwise they have to then make another QB switch to Michael Vick (something tells me they'll platoon Kolb and Vick if Kolb is even halfway dreadful this week, just a guess). Obviously they go back to McNabb whenever he gets back, but this situation could get sticky, Philly looks like the best candidate to be the contending team running a complete circus act this season (thanks to Buffalo being complete garbage and irrelevant).
-Adrian Peterson is Purple Jesus and Purple Jesus is Christ.-In college football, there were a couple of great games in Michigan-Notre Dame and USC-Ohio St. They didn't disappoint though arguably the two teams that deserved to win, lost. I thought Ohio St completely outplayed USC, but Pete Carroll coached an excellent game and of course USC got it done. Incredibly disappointing to my prediction of Ohio St winning the Nat'l Championship.
-Roger Federer is ridiculous.
-In a continued effort to be the blogosphere's leading home for foot fault enthusiasts, I'd like to say that Serena Williams really took the whole thing to a new level. I would post the video, but I'm sure everyone has seen her threatening the poor line judge that she was going to shove the tennis ball down her bleeping throat. The match ended as the cry-baby was about to lose to an old mother (KIm Clijsters) anyway. Has this ever happened before? Someone is penalized a point for making a threat and it turns out to decide the match? At least Serena offered an unapologetic apology. The real question is, who would you rather have threatening you after calling them for a foot fault, Serena Williams or Andy Roddick? I think Roddick is the clear choice.
Just remembered that I forgot to add. Matt Barkley might end up being a really good college quarterback. Matt Barkley might even end up being a really good pro quarterback. Matt Barkley did not lead the USC team t victory on his "game-winning" drive. He handed the ball off and milked the clock. Give it a rest.
ReplyDeleteOh and I agree with Skip Bayless for once. Serena should be suspended for the next grand slam event. As hilarious and entertaining as it was, you can't tolerate someone threatening your line judge. Especially when she clearly doesn't even feel like she was wrong for what she did. The fine isn't going to change that.
This weekend had some great action. I actually watched the whole USC game. Good drive there at the end. Where the hell was McKnight all night before that drive.
ReplyDeleteTexas won although Wyoming put up a fight for a half.
Dallas did look better offensively without TO. We got gashed by the run in the 1st half. Thats probably not good when the Giants come to town next. Should be a better Sunday night game than the shit the Packers and Bears put out there last night.
Cutler, good choice going to the Bears over the Broncos.
Peterson is a beast. Favre must be happy.
Cant wait for the Philly circus to take effect. Should be a good meltdown down the road.
So far my picks have gone 11-3 on the week.
Hopefully the Bills can keep it within 30 tonight so I dont fall asleep on the couch.
