Week 5 Roundup
It was a rough sports weekend for me. What with my Yanks getting knocked out. Also for the first time that I can remember since having the Sunday Ticket, my wife wasn't around. She was working a Sunday shift, so it was a solo football Sunday. Here were the games I invested the most time in:
Cleveland/New England
I know the final score doesnt really indicate how close I think this game was. The Browns are scrappy. They fight hard. Unfortunately they ran into the buzzsaw that is the NE Patriots. Randy Moss finally had an off game, but it didnt matter because Ben Watson scored twice, and Dontae Stallworth finally arrived. They have an embarrassment of riches on both sides of the ball. They really might go undefeated... as long as they can get past Dallas this weekend.
Jets vs. Giants
I was cheering for the Jets, seeing as how I hate the Giants. For a while there it looked like Chad and the boys might pull it out (Santana Moss had two ridiculous catches in the first half). Thomas Jones continued to disappoint. The Giants scored the last 21 points of the game, with another inspired effort by Plaxico. He's having a great season catching and scoring with the ball.
Indy vs. TB
After a quick trip to the supermarket I started watching this game. I thought the Bucs would put up more of a fight. Especially with the Colts missing Addai and Harrison. The Colts though just kept on rolling. Dallas Clark had his weekly touchdown. Peyton looked great as usual. This is one solid team that is only the third team in the history of football to start 3 consecutive seasons 5-0. They will not roll over for the Pats. Another dominant effort.
Chicago/GB
This was a tale of two halves for the Bears. In the first half they looked horrible as the Bears were marching up and down the field. The Bears took advantage of a couple miscues by Packers receivers in the first half to keep the score close... then finally the offense arrived in the second half. They outscored GB 20-3, knocking the Packers out of the ranks of undefeateds... and serving notice to the league that they still have some fight in them. They will be a team to be reckoned with the rest of the season.
Dallas at Buffalo
Without PIP (picture in picture) I was forced to constantly hit the PREV button on the remote control. Flipping back between those Yankees losing there series to the Tribe and than Boys getting beat down. Romo the great looked awful. He looked at different coverage packages all night and made some awful throws. His first two passes were picked off for scores. He then threw 3 other INT's. He did everything possible to blow this game... Then the Romo of old showed up with the Cowboys down 8 with less than 2 minutes in the game. He led the Boys down the field by completing 9-11 passes and moving them 80 yards for the score. He showed that he has a very short memory and lots of moxie. Definitely the type of leadership skills I want running my team. Of course the Cowboys then missed the 2 point conversion on a very nice defensive play ripping the ball away from TO. Which then set up the ensuing onside kick which the Boys miraculously recovered. Two completed passes later set up a Nick Folk 52 yard fieldgoal... which Dick Jauron tried to ice by calling a timeout... then the rookie stepped back and knocked it through again... money. Cowboys win and stay undefeated... at least for one more week as they play the Patriots this week. Should be interesting.
I had a bad fantasy week... Kitna garbage... TO disappointing... Todd Heap didnt even play... The Cowboys defense played well and so did Ronnie Brown. This weeks picks are Kurt Warner. Ronnie Brown again, he's on a roll. Dontae Stallworth against the Cowboys. Kellen Winslow against the Dolphins. Jacksonville defense to dominate at home against Houston... see you next week.
