First of all, let me say congratulations to Dwight Freeney for now being over 100 career sacks, thanks to two in this game. Good job. You've earned your HOF gold jacket.
That was pretty much the highlight of the Colt's day. Even without Ray Lewis, the Raven completely dominated our offense, especially right at the line (as evidence by three sack-fumbles by Orlovsky, though he did recover all three). Our defense did little more to stop them the rest of the game. They did not come out with any energy and never gained any momentum. Interesting fact: it was week 5 since the Colts even held a lead in a game. That was also the last time we scored a TD in the first quarter). We did manage to finally get a TD with 0:00 left in the fourth, too little too late. But hey, at least we haven't been shut out this season. Not every team can say that.
Rest of the League:
Packers-Raiders. Wow. This wasn't even a game.
Lions-Vikings. The Lions took their foot off the gas when they scored their fourth TD of the day in the 2nd quarter, but nearly let the Vikings come back. Don't do that.
Saints-Titans. Was this an off day for the Saints, or a really on day for the Titans D? Don't know, but when it counted, they came up with the sack for the win.
Texans-Bengals. This was one heck of a hard fought game, with every point earned on this field. The Texans, in case you missed this, are down to their third-string QB Yates, but his mom came out to watch as he pulled victory from the jaws of defeat.
Cards-Niners. Ok, someone please comment and explain to me how this happened. Yes, Larry Fitzgerald made some big grabs, but the Niners should have been able to win this game. Someone please explain it to me.
Broncos-Bears. After the Amazing Race (Congrats to Colt's Marcus Pollard for finishing 3rd) I flipped to the end of this game. Why? Because the end of the game is Tebow Time. First, Lovie Smith sends his kicker out for no aparent reason. Most would have punted. Lovie showed balls, and his kicker knocked down a 54 yarder. After a Broncos TD and onside kick recovery, Tebow got his kicker in range to hit a 59 yarder. Game went to OT. Bears get the kickoff and are driving, until Marion Barber was stripped. I don't blame him. I feel bad for the big guy. He didn't do anything wrong. The Broncos got his hand by two fingers and ripped his hand away from the ball. Not really anything he could do about it. Then, Tebow Time. He marched them down the field for the 51 yard game-winning FG. I wonder how many games have had nothing but 50+ FGs by either team. Got to love us some Tebow.
Giants-Cowboys. Gotta love a game that starts with a safety. There should be two things you learn from the game. #1 As Prime says, bELIeve in Eli. #2 The Cowboys are the only team that icing the kicker actually works on.
Patriots-Redskins. Who would have thought that the Patriots would get in a shootout with the Deadskins? They managed to win in the end, but still. Brady, to prove his standing as Chump was well deserved got into a fight with his coach after doing something stupid. Instead of being sorry and listening to wisdom, he showed what a hot-head and a jerk he really is. In the mean time, my brother-in-law sent me a video link that shows how many of us feel about the Pats quarterback (though maybe not so strongly). Enjoy. "Idiot."
