NFL 10 week 5 synopsis

Well, that sucked.

Let me set up this game. Indy played Kansas City, the only undefeated team left in the NFL. Who would have thought that the Colts play Chiefs in week 5, and the Colts were underdogs??!!!

If you know me, then you know I would rather play well and lose than to play poorly and win. Well, I did not get my wish. That game was AWFUL. Manning sucked. I've seen him play better and get 4 INTs. He under threw almost every throw. His completions were only half of his attempts, which is rare for Peyton. He had 1 INT, admittedly his fault, and 0 TDs. He was awful.

People are harping on the defense. They did a heck of a lot better than last week. It looked like the old "bend don't break" Colts D. What they do is hold the other team to field goals while the offense delivers touchdowns. This lets them build a lead, to which the opposing teams are forced to throw. That unleashes Freeney and Mathis. To be honest, Freeney kinda looked like he didn't want to be there, and Manning DEFINATELY looked like he didn't want to be there. It looked like some throw-away preseason game. They just didn't look like they were trying.

To make it worse, Addai was injured, leaving the Colts only with their 3rd string running back. As an Ohio State fan, it is difficult for me to admit that I was excited when they picked Mike Hart up from Michigan a few years back. He looked like he didn't know the game was supposed to be a throw away, and was excited for the opportunity to play. He ran for a TD in the 4th to put the game out of reach. This was the only TD by either team, as the Colts score was mainly from Adam Vinateri's right foot.

Just to tell you how bad this game was, the highlight real had three plays (in order): Manning's 3rd quarter INT, Manning throwing a 15 yarder for a first down to Reggie Wayne, and Mike Hart's TD run. The only news worthy thing about the game was that with KC's fall from undefeated, this is the first season without a 4-0 team since 1970. Congrats 79 Dolphins, you get to break out the champagne early this year.

Rest of the League:
I have to start with Monday night.

Jets-Vikings. I guess Randy Moss didn't help Minnesota beat the Jets like Tom "We Suck" Brady and the New England Pansies hoped. You kinda had to feel bad for Favre. You know that when it rains, his arthritis acts up. But seriously, Favre somehow injured his elbow during the bye week. Aparently Life Alert was called to his house because he fell in the tub. He pushed the button and said quote, "I've fallen and I can't get up." He didn't want to get up for that game either. When he had a chance at the end, despite sucking as bad as Peyton did Sunday, he did what he does best, threw an INT for a pick-6. He then started to CRY on the sidelines. Seriously, Geezer, man up.

Jags-Bills. Buffalo lost again. Big surprise.

Eagles-Niners. San Fran lost again. Big surprise. Headlines in Philly read, "Eagles win. Fans still threaten to murder Kolb, saying Vick would have won by more."

Buccs-Bengals. Ok, time to put in the back up. I'm done with Palmer.

Falcons-Browns. Another close one, at least for most of the game. The Falcons did score a TD in the end, but for most of it the Browns were right in it again.

Lions-Rams. The Lions finally got a big win, and maybe they can use this to build momentum that was lost when that game wimming TD was robbed from them.

Cards-Saints. Wow. The Cards are bad this year. I can't believe they won. The Saints are just so hot and cold, descriptive of basically the entire NFL this year.

Giants-Texans. Speaking of hot and cold, both of these teams started with high expectations. The Texans seemed to start with it and lose it, and the Giants seemed to have found it. I think its better to end strong than start strong. We'll just have to see what happens now.

Titans-Cowboys. Well, Big D tried to come back, but could not sustain it. They are just oer-hyped as usual. They never have lived up to the hype, and with Romo at QB, perhaps never will.

What do you think? Who is the best teams this year? Comment below.
