Here's week 3! Sorry it took so long -- my laptop has decided to die on me. Typical. So now I'm at Swem posting this. I mean, doing actual college work.
Anyway, enjoy this! I also wanted to thank you guys for 300 pageviews... it means a lot to know that people are actually reading this. You guys rock!
Patriots v. Bills (31-34)
Whoa.
Just whoa.
I’m not going to say that the Bills are a Super Bowl
contender yet. Remember a few years ago when Miami beat New England with the
new wildcat? Let’s not get carried away. However, this is the second big comeback
for the Bills in two weeks. At the very least, the Bills have shown that
adversity won’t beat them down like last year. The difference in these Bills is
that they finish games now. Patriots fans, don’t panic here. The Bills just
played a little bit better. You’ll get another chance – you might even see them
in the playoffs.
Lions v. Vikings (26-23 OT)
Minnesota, if the games were 30 minutes, you’d be
undefeated. But they’re not. So you’re not. Detroit ha yet another comeback
under their belts – and the first division road win in 3 years. The Lions,
completely healthy now, have seen the light and are giving Detroit hope. They
don’t keep anything stop them… Now they’re tired for a lead with the Packers for
the division. What? What? Lions? Lions?! Yes, and this had once again convinced
me that the Lions are finally for real. Well done Jim Schwartz.
Giants v. Eagles (29-16)
Eagles’ fans, I’m sorry to say that there seems to be a problem
in paradise. I wouldn’t say its panic time. Yet. However, Mike Vick lashing out
at the media is usual. And he does have a point. Some of the hits on him should
be flagged. If that was Brady back there, they would be. I’m not sure what can
be done about this –perhaps more awareness by the officials. But with defensive
players so touchy about these issues now, it’s tough to crack down. Please try not
to lose it, Philly, it’s still early in the season.
Steelers v. Colts (23-20)
The Colts almost won this game. But almost doesn’t count
in the NFL. If Collins had stayed in, perhaps they could have eeked it out. But
even though they didn’t get the ‘W’, there are large signs of improvement here.
I don’t think the season is yet lost for the Colts, though I think now they
have trouble winning the division. Life without Peyton is tough, but it’s also
a reality check for the future. Peyton is not immortal. He himself pretty much
put the end date at 5 years, including this season, from now. Don’t cry yet Indy,
but get the tissue box ready.
Redskins v. Cowboys (16-18)
Dallas won
without scoring a touchdown. No lie. That really happened. Honestly, neither of
these teams really deserved to win. This was a fat cry from the great
Redskins/Cowboys games of old. Just because the score was close, doesn’t mean the
game was good. In fact, it was downright painful. The best player in this game
was rookie kicker Bailey (Dallas). Six field goals! Neither quarterback played
well. However, Romo is injured, but playing through. The offense is losing
pieces and that showed on Monday night. Though the Cowboys came away with the win,
both teams are searching for answers.
