As I am typing this, the Chargers are manhandling the Patriots (expected since Brady is out for the season and SD is pretty pissed coming off of a loss to Miami last week). This looks normal. The rest of the NFL? Not so much. I dont even know where to begin. Lets start with the Dolphins and the heartbreaking loss to the Texans, a team they may never beat (Im serious). It seems like they would win especially with the wildcat working well. Well the Miami secondary forgot how to play, especially in the 4th qtr. That 4th and 10 that they converted didnt really worry me, but the 20+ yard pass play sure did. Then, on the last play (I write this wiping the tears from my eyes), Texans QB Matt Schaub, on a QB draw runs up the middle. There wasn't a Dolphins jersey in the middle of the endzone. I could not believe it. Maybe this was a good loss. When was the last time the Dolphins had a game where they were favored in but lost in the closing seconds? It certainly wasn't any of last seasons games. Still, they had the game won. 2-3. Still better than last year.
Other reasons why the NFL makes my head hurt:
How in the hell do the Rams beat the Redskins??????????? Washington beats Dallas and Philly in their respective stadiums. They have all 3 of their division rivals at home to play. They looked like the second best team in their division, which is the toughest in fotball. And what happens? They lose a home game to a team who fired their head coach two weeks ago. The Rams are horrid on defense. Man, I was tempted to pick them in my suicide pool (will get to that later), but im happy I didn't.
I keep reading and hearing the critism of Tony Romo. NOW I understand it. The boy is a mean lean fumbling machine. At times, he can be good, but other times, he is shaky and INT prone. The Cowboys should have beat the Cardinals in a shootout. Too many turnovers and issed opportunities. First off, the game should have never went to overtime. You cant call someone offsides when they are injured and cant get off the field in time. Its not their fault. I know time was runnning out, but they could have called an injury timeout and when the injured player was off the field, start the clock before the teams are in formation. I am shaky of the Cowboys. They barely beat the Bengals last week and lost to Washington at home 2 weeks ago. They got some serious inproving to do
One team I have not been impressed with: the Colts. They didn't prove much this season. Their first 2 wins? Barely beat the Vikings and sqeaked a wiin in Houstin in a gae they should have lost. What happens today. They beat down the Ravens, who have the best defense in football. WTF????? All of a sudden Peyton Manning looks like, well Peyton Manning. Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrsion have bg games. The Defense looks good. All I can do is scratch my head.
Enough with the NFL. What about college football. I dont beleive in the polls until the BCS poll comes out, so I dont care for Texas being #1. They are a good team. Finally saw them play. UF beat down LSU. Thought they were gonna lose. Oh well. They wont get past Georgia (I hope). The U looked sloppy yesterday. OF all the teams you can barely beat, UCF!!!!! I still cringe when I watch them play. the offense can go good at times, but the defense is still not so great. I am fine with Robert Marve, but you can pull him out after an INT. Hes a QB, not a LB. IF they would have lost, I would have been furious. 0-3 in 3 home games. Should have beat North Carolina. If they played a subpar first half, could have beat Florida St. I need to see some more improvements on defense and consistency in QB.
I am in my radio station suicide pool. I sweated out NE in week one after Bradys injury. The Giants beat down the Rams. The Bills got by the Raiders. The Jaguars helf off the Texans. The PAnthers destroyed the Chiefs. The Saints shot themselves in the foot last week and lost, despite Reggie Bush doing all the work. I felt that they would bitch slaped the Raiders, and boy they did. 34-3. Then I find out I WON MY SUICIDE POOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im assuming alot of people had the Redksins over the Rams. I didnt even know they were playing until I saw the final score. It was either the Saints over the Raiders or the Eagles over the 49ers. I still would have won. I was just so shocked that the suicide pool is over in week 6!!!! I even said in my previous blog that I was considering picking the Dolphins to beat the Texans. Thank God I didnt. Laptop for me............................................
