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.
