Hey Manning, see the guys with horseshoes on their helmets? They're on our team. Thanks for that. I know he ended up with a wrapped elbow. He also had guys in his backfield all night. 26 yards rushing for the night. Manning had 4 INTs.
It also did not help that the refs were apparently from Jacksonville. The third interception came from a guy blatantly grabbing Reggie Wayne, throwing him to the ground, and grabbing the ball. Pass interference anyone? The stadium booed and booed. Think about it. Take 7 away from the Charger and give it to the Colts in the third and they are in a position to try to come back. The next drive also stalled when Manning was sacked. He was sacked because they grabbed the right guard by the facemask and shoved him backwards into Manning.
Once again, the lone bright spot was the defense. They held the Chargers to field goals until the game was out of reach anyway. I do have an idea for how to improve things. We should put out linebackers on offense so that they can tackle the other team when Manning throws the ball to them.
Rest of the League:
Jets-Bengals. That's just mean to make the Bengals go to Jersey on Thanksgiving.
Saints-Cowboys. It is amazing what the Cowboys can do when the pretend that they are professionals. It was not, however, enough to knock off the defending champs.
Pats-Lions. I don't think the Lions have won a Thanksgiving game that I can remember. Having to face Tom "We Suck"Brady and the Pats... Well, they've turned into the second best team in the AFC.
Giants-Jags. Thanks Giants. At least we're still only a half game off in the division.
Falcons-Packers. Holy cow this game was good. It was everything you could hope for. These two teams were the NFC best, and possibly a preview of the NFC Championship. These teams were evenly matched, but in the end the home team won by a field goal. Excellent game.
Bears-Eagles. These were the other two best teams in the NFC, who ironically played the same day. I must say for the first time this season, it looks like the Bears are legit IN SPITE OF their QB.
Browns-Panthers. Too bad the Panthers aren't a better team so that they could blow them out. Peyton Hillis had a big game for the Browns. Unlike many heartbreaking finishes this season, Cleveland ended up with a W on this one.
Steelers-Bills. The Steelers think they are so good, but barely squeaked by a team that got their first W two weeks ago. Yeah. You're so good.
Texans-Titans. The one highlight of this game from the Titans was at least they didn't have to cuddle VY after the game.
Vikings-Skins. See what I said about the Steelers, and insert a comment about Favre being older than dirt. He ran 10 yards at one point, and was so out of breathe he said he felt like he ran a mile. Oh Childress, why did you hitch yourself to that wagon?
Ravens-Buccs. The only thing I have to say about this game is that one INT by the Buccs was the best interception ever. The guy caught the ball with his feet. His feet!
Niners-Cards. The only reason I am talking about this boring, meaningless game is the post-game interview. They showed on the sidelines during the game Anderson laughing at a joke down 18. He explained that this guard made a joke to lift his spirits and keep him in it. One reporter asked him about it again and again. After about the fourth him, he exploded. Some criticize him, but most don't. I'm with the majority on this case. If you push me like that, I'll blow too. I'm just saying.
