NFL 10 week 3 synopsis

This game was a little worrysome, and not just from the win-lose standpoint. The Colts had several (I believe I heard 6) starters out at the beginning of the game. Throughout the course both sides had plenty of injuries, most who came back. I kinda think it was just hotter than they expected, so dehydration and cramping was an issue in that high altitude.

Ok, onto the game itself. The defense is still sick of hearing about how bad they did two weeks ago. It looked like the old "bend, don't break" days of old. Orton had big yardage, but two different times, the defense refused to let them in on fourth and goal. I think that they were out to make a statement, even without Bob Sanders (or perhaps especially because of that).

The Colts offense was, well, the Colts offense. Manning was Manning. Wayne was Wayne. They double covered Clarke all day, and did well at hampering them in the endzone.

Rest of the League:
Cowboys-Texans. I don't think anyone saw this one coming. Perhaps the Texans were a flash in the pan, but now people have learned how to stop them. Maybe the Cowboys after turning the ship around. All I know is that Romo wasn't crying after the game for once, and that the Texans don't have to worry about the undefeated talk anymore. You know who does?

Chiefs-Niners. That's right. Kansas City is finally putting all those perenial early first-round picks to good use. They are one of the few undefeated teams left.

Steelers-Buccs. Yes Jim, I know that the Steelers are also undefeated. All that proves is that the Buccs are terrible, the Steelers D is good as usual, and Rothlisberger is overrated as a QB. I mean, even their 3rd stringer can win with them.

Titans-Giants. Guess Big Blue still hasn't recovered from the beating they were thrown last weekend.

Pats-Bills. Tom "We Suck" Brady and the New England Patriots barely squeaked by the Bills. The BILLS! I mean, come on. They haven't fielded a decent team since the 90s. Seriously.

Eagles-Jags. Yes, Vick had a big day, but it was the Jags. They only have 1 player, pocket Herc. That was like sending a Basset Hound in against a Doverman. That doesn't prove that the doverman is tough. Just that the Basset Hound was neutered.

Vikings-Lions. Once again, the lions have a crushing defeat, though this time it was at a bigger margin. Brett Farve is still a Geezer, and still played poorly, but Minnesota ran all over Detroit like a Ford F-250.

Rams-Redskins. Ha ha. I told you McNabb wouldn't help. You lost to the Rams, for crying out loud. The skins did show some life at the end of the 1st half, but nothing in the second.

Seahawks-Chargers. Here's an idea, Chargers. You should play some special teams. They would have won, had they not allowed Leon Washington to run back TWO 100-yard punt returns for TDs. Here's an idea. Don't kick it to him. Kick out of bounds.

Falcons-Saints. Wow. What a game. If the Saints kicker wouldn't have choked at 29 yarder in overtime, the Saints would have won. Of they would have had another chance if they wouldn't have tried to ice the kicker, making the blocked punt not count. That's a tough way to lose such a tight game. Atlanta, however, put the NFL on notice that they are coming and they want to win.

Ok, that's it for now. Be sure to comment below.

  1. Bob Sanders has become the Colts Ken Griffy Jr. Nice to have...but ALWAYS on the injured list.
