Monday Morning Quarterbacking

Allright, so I would like to make this a regular feature, but I'm sure I won't and will stop updating all together after two weeks, but I will look at yesterdays games and give a quick viewpoint on them.

Cleveland 17 Atlanta 13

Vick is the big bust that nobody wants to admit. Just because this guy sells a ton of jerseys and is loved by the media because of his highlight reel plays does not mean he is a good NFL QB. Matt Schaub is a far better option for Atlanta going forward as he is more suited for the west coast offense. Vick is just too mistake prone and does not have good QB mechanics. The experiment failed, the sooner Atlanta realizes this, the better they will be. Sucks for Adam though...

San Diego 49 Cincinnatti 41

If LT is not the MVP of the league, I want to hear some suggestions on who else it could be. This guy is consistently amazing each and every week. Phillip Rivers is turning in to a bonafide star in the league and has great leadership abilities. Taking a team 21 down at the half to a victory on the road takes serious heart. Watch out for this San Diego team, they are the real deal.

San Francisco 19 Detroit 13

Is Roy Williams going to shut up yet? Detroit is bad, god awful bad. However they always are so I'm sure it has become expeced in Detroit for the Lions to suck. I wonder what they would do if they ever actually saw success? I doubt they could handle it. Frank Gore is the best RB nobody knows about, this guy is good. San Francisco is actually a surprisingly better team then most people thought, they will get a few more wins this year for sure.

Baltimore 27 Tennessee 26

How do you blow that one Tennessee? Oh well, its not all bad news for the music city. This team has actually shown a lot of fight and heart this year for a team that has very young and very little talent. Jeff Fisher will never in a million years be considered for coach of the year, but he has had themost difficult job and has done the most. Dont know what to think about the Ravens yet, they seem to keep winning but they sure look bad doing so.

Indianapolis 17 Buffalo 16

Yeah the Colts are undefeated again and nobody is talking about it. Nobody should. This team has shown year after year that they blow through the regular season and then choke in the playoffs. These guys need to lose a few games and have to fight for seeding in the playoffs this year. If they don't and they have it all locked up again by week 15, then mark my words, they will be bounced early again. J.P. Losman is not the answer in Buffalo.

Miami 13 Kansas City 10

Break up the Dolphins! A team that was in total disarray has reeled off two wins in a row against serious playoff teams. Might be that team that isn't going anywhere but nobody wants to face going down the stretch. Just as an aside, Indianapolis' last game this year is against the Dolphins. Could Miami spoil the undefeated season for yet another team? We shall see...

Green Bay 23 Minnesota 17

Brett Favre is not done yet! Seriously, for all the people who put this guy in his grave last year, they are eating a lot of crow right now. This Green Bay team is dangerous. Minnesota...what is going on with you guys? You crush the Seahawks and then turn around and lose to San Fran and Green Bay? I don't think Minnesota is a playoff team.

New York Jets 17 New England 14

Don't look too much in to this game. Sure the Patriots have never lost two in a row in 4 years, but they are still one of the most elite teams in the NFL. The Jets are very good at home and should never be taken for granted. Next week they play the Bears in New York, they have the ability to make it interesting if nothing else.

Philadelphia 27 Washington 3

God the Redskins suck. They are horrible. All the attention is on Mark Brunell and replacing him, which will help, but this teams problem is defense. Sean Taylor was burned bad twice and the cornerbacks couldn't cover a table with a cloth. This is the most expensive mess of a team I have ever witnessed.

Houston 13 Jacksonville 10

Guess David Garrard and his 4 INTs are not the answer for Jacksonville. So after pissing on Byron Leftwich and putting all his chips in the Garrard pile, Jack Del Rio has very likely put his once promising season in peril. These guys were good and they were winning and you introduce a QB controversy? If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Well now the Jags have gone and broke it.

Denver 17 Oakland 13

I would just like to state as a fantasy owner of the Denver running backs, nothing make me more angry then Mike Shanahan. On Wednesday they say Tatum Bell probably wont play and Mike Bell will start. Well at the last second before game time they don't even suit up Mike Bell and Tatum Bell starts. Serves you right to almost get beat by Oakland!

Dallas 27 Arizona 10

Yeah, they are the Cardinals. They are a joke.

Pittsburgh 38 New Orleans 31

Is there life in the defending champs? They sure looked good against a tough New Orleans team. However, I think they have dug themselves far too deep of a hole to get out of. While this season may be a loss, if they finish strong perhaps they can keep some hope for next year and not blow up the team.

Seattle 24 St Louis 22

I swear this team is going to put me in an early grave. Yet another game winning field goal from the man himself Josh Brown to beat the evil Rams. Seneca Wallace has played well and has kept us afloat as we get through these times without Hasselback and Alexander. With a two game lead on the Rams in the division and those guys coming back it looks as if we are well on our way to another playoff run.

Chicago 38 New York Giants 20

Chicago has firmly entrenched its position now as the class of the NFC with a huge victory over big blue. Are they beatable? Sure. But it is no easy task and these guys are for real. Like any NFL team they can slip up and not show up on any given Sunday. But with big statement victories against the two NFC teams most likely to compete with them for top seed in New York and Seattle, they have proven themselves. It will be interesting watching these guys in the playoffs.

Thanks for the recap, I was worried that I missed out on the Southeast Sports Center.

See ya at the sidelines!
