NFL Review Week Five



Usually on Tuesday night, I review every NFL game and give you some thoughts on it. However, I’m tired, just watched the Presidential Debate and not in the mood to truly give some analysis.

If you want a comical power ranking, check out this link from Deadspin: http://deadspin.com/5059549/oh-for-the-days-of-rape-and-murder-questions-at-debates

But, to be fair, I’m going to do a one to five-word association with each team and tell you the first thoughts on each team, which may include a fantasy football note or two

St. Louis: Changing coaches means nothing
Detroit: Firing Millen means even less
Cincinnati: Chris Henry represents what’s wrong
Kansas City: Edwards isn’t solution or problem
Oakland: Can’t fire Davis, until then more losses (sorry that’s more than five words)
Houston: Quarterback cost them first win
Cleveland: Braylon microcosm of bad season
Seattle: Sucks to be Seattle sports fan now
San Francisco: Should have drafted Frank Gore
Green Bay: Can’t lose to Atlanta at home
San Diego: Biggest paper champions of decade
Arizona: Don’t retire, Kurt Warner, seriously
Miami: Wildcat can be next Run and Shoot
New Orleans: Fun to watch, lose often
Minnesota: What happened Adrian Peterson?
Indianapolis: Win ugly, just surviving
Atlanta: Ryan Pro Bowl QB?
Tampa: No one cares, go Rays!
Baltimore: Beat Giants in Super Bowl, bastards
New England: Welcome back Randy Moss
Jacksonville: Average, just plain average
Chicago: Long live Kyle Orton
Philly: In wrong division
Buffalo: Get well Trent Edwards
Denver: Cutler for MVP, seriously
Carolina: Good for John Fox
Pittsburgh: Needs a bye like right now
Dallas: Better be careful of overconfidence
Tennessee: Run the ball, stop the run
Washington: Zorn/Campbell = Walsh/Montana (just kidding, fuck the Redskins…yes, I used a bad word but I will never like them).
Giants: Champs until proven otherwise

That’s what I’ve got. Until then, good fight, good night.

like meggie, i too enjoy this. HOWEVER, (there's always a however with me, huh? lol) 1)do you really think dallas is OVER confident? imo, they are a variety of things (suberb, america's team, former home of former greats: aikman, irvin, smith; not to mention current home of future great and my pick for rookie of the year, felix jones) BUT, i'm going to go with my kanye analogy for them right now. you're tired of hearing how great THEY think they are, but you have to admit... they are pretty tight. where would jay-z be had kanye not made the "izzo" beat for him? where would the nfl be if michael irvin never showed up to games in full furs and dark shades AND amidst that foolishness still manage to go to 3 super bowls and 5 pro bowls? i rest my case... =]
2) i have a soft spot for al davis... but he is the fidel castro of oakland. having said that, dude is old and senile. there MUST be a way he can hire a great coach who can trick davis into thinking he'll do whatever davis wants, right? how hard can it be??? sigh... i appreciate the early optimism but your tune must be diff now. what's gonna be our record in the end?
