NFL 12 week 9 synopsis

I was looking forward to this game, because I thought Miami and Indy are fairly evenly matched. That’s not true. Miami has a running game. How many times do I have to say it? Reggie Wayne and Andrew Luck need some help out there.


We had some chances to take the lead back in the first half. Vinetari missed a FG (because Mr. Clutch doesn’t give a crap if the game ain’t on the line), and Miami blocked another. Then to close out the half, Luck kept putting the ball on receivers’ hands, and they dropped them. That sucked.

It was nice to have Robert Mathis back, even if he got hurt immediately. Our defense just plays different with Freeney and Mathis up from knocking the snot out of people.

In the end, it was a tough, close, exciting game. Luck broke the rookie throwing record, and the Colts got a hard-fought W.

Rest of the League:
Bears-Titans. That’s just ugly. Chicago looked good, you know, except for their offense. Tennessee, well, looked like Chicago has much of this season. They got a safety, and threw some Interceptions. Good times.

Panthers-Redskins. Cam Newton vs. RGIII. I’m a little disappointed that it wasn’t more of a game than this.

Texans-Bills. If the Texans stay hungry, they can’t be beat. And they weren’t even that hungry in this one. Maybe they ate too much Halloween candy. Tom Brady went as the same thing he did last year, a Chump.

Ravens-Browns. I was amazed how well the Browns did in this game. It stayed close until the very end, surprisingly.

Steelers-Giants. Ok, that second Giant’s TD in the first half WAS a TD. The ball was already moving before his arm came forward. Just because he pushed it forward does not mean that it wasn’t a fumble. Moving on, this was a great game. These teams are both traditional kick-you-in-the-teeth powerhouses. Giants have a little better offense. Steelers have a little better defense. Defense won the day this day. The Giants used to have a power running attack from 3 RBs, which they nicknamed Earth, Wind, and Fire, anchored by Bradshaw (Earth). They just didn’t have that running attack anymore. They sorely needed it.
