I bet you haven't read enough about this weeks games yet.
Hey! I'm in town for an NFL Recap! And what an exciting week it was! I should stop using exclamation points!
The first game of the weekend was in Baltimore, featuring the Colts and the Ravens, in a game that everyone seemed to be touting the whole "the Colts used to play in Baltimore" thing. In retrospect, did Baltimore really need to experience Jack Trudeau? I say no. And besides, Baltimore stole the Browns from Cleveland and promptly won a Super Bowl, so I feel no compassion. So anyways, the Colts defense showed up again, making Steve McNair look like the type of quarterback the Titans would give up on before the season started. In the end, the Colts kicked five field goals and won by nine in a remarkably boring game. They better be saving their energy for the next two weeks.
In New Orleans, the feel good Saints kept on feeling good, while Jeff Garcia inevitably lost. At least this means the Eagles won't be turning on Donovan McNabb, right? My favorites two plays of the game were the ones where Reggie Bush got lit up. A very sick part of me wants to see Reggie bush incapacitated for the rest of the playoffs to dispell the myth that he is the sole player that has revamped the Saints, rather than a healthy Deuce McCallister and the added Drew Brees and Mark Simoneau and Scott Fujita and Marques Colston. But Bush is a VERY talented third down back.
The Bears played well in the first quarter or so against the Seahawks Sunday, but then both teams just kind of keeled over. Sure touchdowns were thrown and what not, but it was just a poorly played game. Naturally, nobody was surprised. The Bears are this years bumbling team that gets a lot farther than they should, despite themselves. The irony is, it has little to do with Rex Grossman and more to do with the lack of a dominant running game and a defense that opponents are able to gameplan against now. The irony is, of course, that the Seahawks and Bears, two teams in need of SOMETHING in the draft will probably be to low down to get what they really need, or too proud to go after it in the off season.
So, let's review some of the things working against Marty Schottenheimer here. First, if ever there was an epic performance needed, it would come against Marty. Second, he was playing against the Patriots, a team that ALWAYS gets an epic performance when they need it (unless they are in Denver and hand it to Kevin Faulk). Third, there was no way the football gods would let Tony Dungy play a big game against Marty Schottenheimer. So, there you have it, the Chargers had three strikes against them going into the game. But there could be a nice, cross country rivalry brewing here if LT keeps talking.
That was the weekend in football. Only three more games left this season, and that makes me a little sad. - Ryan
