NFL 11 Week 3 synopsis
Oh… I have to start differently then normal.
I have a new 2nd favorite team. GO BILLS! Oh yes. After being down 21-0 to the Pats, they mounted a comeback, aided by picking off Tom Brady FOUR TIMES in order to win the game. Oh my goodness. This begs the return of a theme of last year. Tom “we suck” Brady is a chump. This also leads me to predict the Bills to win the Super Bowl. Ok, not seriously, but how often would you have a chance to say that?
Moving on. Glad to see number 18 in the house, even if it was on the coaching booth. Our problem is not just lacking Manning, though it does affect is as anyone can see. We were also missing two leaders, Brackett and Bullett, on Defense, and Ryan Deim and Anthony Gonzalez on Offense.
In the mean time let me emphasize that our defense is doing our job. Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney did what they do best. They created two fumbles in the first half, one of which was returned for the Colt’s only first-half touchdown this season. They killed the run first half (Steelers averaged less than a yard per carry). And of course, there was the interception too. Our defense has always been ragged on, but has been just as explosive as the offense. Just ask any other NFL QB about Freeney and Mathis. Sure, Mike Wallace, well, he’s just too fast to stop every time (though he only got in the endzone once). They aren’t perfect, but no D can eliminate all big plays. But they were good enough that Big Ben was terrorized all night. He has to scramble on every play anyway (I don't know why he does it. Maybe he thinks he has to warm up first), but last night, he was looking over his shoulder because he knew Freeney and Mathis were coming. He even got levelled once because he wasn't watching where he was going.
The problem is that the offense has no timing, and can’t find the endzone to save their lives. I just hope we can keep getting better. This hope seems to be dashed, as it appears that Curtis Painter could be our starting QB.
Rest of the League:
Bills- Pats. Have to say is again. Tom “we suck” Brady is a chump.
Lions-Vikings. This was just like the Bills game, just replace Tom Brady with Donovan McNabb. Did I ever mention that I like Matt Stafford?
Niners-Bungles. Yeah…
Browns-Fins. Could the Browns avoid another season of heartbreakingly close losses? Maybe.
Packers-Bears. Go Packers. I just hope they don’t let all this success go to their heads. Some teams start out strong, and then don’t finish (see Patriots almost undefeated season. Just google “David Tyree.”)
Saints-Texans. I started watching this game, except the Texans took the game what I thought was out of reach for how bad the Saints were playing. This was apparently the theme of the day. If only I knew that ahead of time. I ended up watching Silence of the Lambs instead. What a shame.
Giants-Eagles. Lookin good Eli. Glad there is still a Manning to represent. Now Vick is hurt and VY is pouting... I mean injured.
Raiders-Jets. Oh... I bet Rex is mad... They ran all over his Defense.

NFL 11 Week 2 abbreviated synopsis
Here's a quicky. The Browns did well. I like watching Peyton Hillis run. He kinda reminds me of Mike Alstott back in the day. Colt McCoy seems to be a real good kid. That said, that game should have been closer, if it weren't for the cheating refs. That first TD, wasn't a touchdown. He crossed the line of scrimmage. I have a witness. Also, The refs wouldn't call pass interference on the Browns D to save Reggie Wayne's life. It was rediculous. It was like they had predetermined that the Colts would lose, and were trying to help. They Browns didn't need the help!
Our offense still look, well, like they haven't played together (which they haven't). Our defense did well a majority of the time, but it takes 4 guys to take down Hillis, and that last touchdown was a severely blown coverage. I do love seeing Mathis and Freeney do their thing.
Rest of the leauge:
Ok, I didn't have time to watch enough football to know what happened. I do know that somehow Kenny Brit beat the Ravens, which is somewhat unbelievable. Speaking of unbelievable, for once in his life Tony Romo wasn't a pansy, leading big D to a major comeback despite having two broken ribs. He didn't even choke or anything! Michael Vick got a concussion in Atlanta, from what I understand was helmet to helmet contact from his own teammate. And Tom Brady is still a chump.
Sorry everyone! Hopefully I'll have more time next week!

NFL 11 Week 1 synopsis
Let me start out by saying these won’t be so regular this year (as indeed this blog has not been lately), but I will do what I can for my… fans? Anyway, let me start with the white elephant in the room. Peyton Manning will not playing this season (my prediction), maybe ever. His neck problem has resulted in surgery after surgery after surgery. Neck surgery is serious enough without having 300 pound me jumping up and down on you.
In response, the Colts pulled Cary Collins out of retirement. I think this was a good call. Over a year ago, releasing Jim Sorgi was idiotic, but at least they aren’t playing Curtis Painter (can you feel my spine shudder just thinking of it?) Collins spent the last few years stepping in for the Titans every time VY would throw a tantrum. That said, he played against the Colts twice a year. He played for their rival, Tennessee, and also played against the other two division teams, Houston and Jacksonville. He’s old, but experienced.
That said…
Texans-Colts. The Colts started out with life. They got an early INT and started a powerful drive. Addai was off and running, and Collins completed some early passes. Then all of a sudden, its 4th and 14 with a punt. Houston got some big plays, then kicked a field goal. Immediately, Collins demeanor changed on the sidelines. You could read his mind, “Oh crap. I have to play for behind.” It sucked the energy from him. And then he started to suck. He lost fumbles on the next two times he touched the ball (both entirely his fault) in the red zone, which led to an unrested D trying to do way too much, and the entire team was demoralized and exhausted. By the way, why are we still cursed with Gumble and Deirdorff? Isn’t no Manning enough? Do we really have to listen to that moron for another year? I freaking hate Deirdorff, who excused Collins, but trashed our poor exhausted defense. THEY PLAYED THE FIRST QUARTER WITHOUT A BREAK! WHY DON’T YOU GIVE THEM ONE! Man I can’t stand that idiot. In fact, everyone write CBS and ask them to never allow those two to commentate another Colts game again.
Second half, after they got a chance to breathe, the defense did not give up a single point. Brackett got a Interception, and Angerer got a fumble recovery. The offense clicked more, but they got some growing to do. The most unusual thing was that Vineteri missed a field goal. Man, they got some work to do. The TD, well, that was Reggie Wayne doing his thing. That is what they need to keep doing. I have to say, thank goodness we have Jeff Saturday. With the best Center in the NFL, we have a chance to go 8-8 or better (though I’ve still been predicting for weeks that the Texans will win the division).
By the way, respect to the Texans fans holding a sign. “Peyton-you’ve been a pain in our necks for 10 years. GET WELL SOON!” Diddo, Manning. Get well soon 18.
Rest of the League:
Bengals-Browns. So begins another season of heartbreak for Colt McCoy and company. And it’s amazing what the Bengals can do with receivers who don’t quit on every play. Hear that TO and Ocho? You’re a couple of quitters.
Jags-Titans. Kenny Brit vs. Pocket Hercules. Pocket Herc won.
Ravens-Steelers. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! The Steelers had as many turnovers as points. That’s hilarious. I used to kinda like Steelers, then I moved to a place where there’s lots of cocky, trash-talking Steelers fans. Ray Rice destroyed the Steelers D, and well, 7 turnovers… thanks Pitt for making me (and fans of losing teams everywhere) feel better about our loss today.
Packers-Saints. Let me say, the Packers looked good. The Saints had sparks of greatness, but I like consistently smashing the football than sparks of greatness.
Redskins-Giants. Wow. I was curious if the Redskins would be good, with the idiot owner actually letting Shanahan control the draft. Now they have an O-line.
Lions-Buccs. I like Matt Stafford. I think he’s a good kid. Unlike Brett Favre, who no one likes and is a traitor.
Speaking of people no one likes, Tom Brady is a chump and Tony Romo is the poodle of NFL quarterbacks, all fluff, barks too much, and is totally brainless.
Happy Week 1 everyone!
