Week 3 Recap

I called the Bengal's upset a week ago. Need proof, go to the Week 2 Recap.

Let’s get something straight. I don’t like Jake Delhomme. I think he is overrated, I don’t think he is a franchise QB. However he is a better fantasy QB than a hurt Matt Hasselbeck or Byron Leftwich who has been benched. It is not wrong for me to pick Jake Delhomme up out of the gutter and start him against the Cowboys. Through 2 weeks the Cowboys have 0 sacks and 0 INTs. When is the last time you saw the Cowboys clamp down on a defense? He plays in a division with the Saints, Bucs and Falcons. Only the Falcons have proven to have above average pass defense.

Titans
Dolphins

The Jets are doin it. They beat a playoff team from last year whose backs were against a wall. That says a lot about a team. The Jets probably broke the Titans will. I don’t see them recovering to make the playoffs. Not in that division.

The Cardinals have returned to form. You all (Emeka, Ace?, Trey?) it was more than just Emeka bought off on Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Not sure why, I told you all he was overrated, but you all didn’t want to hear it. “He started in the Super Bowl.” Anyway he got embarrassed by every Colts receiver possible on Sunday night. And one guy, Pierre Garcon, no one had ever heard of 10 days ago. Antoine Bethea did get away with a hold on Anquan Boldin in the end zone but that definitely wasn’t the difference maker. What’s going on with Fitz? I mean we are continuing the trend of when Q and Fitz are both in the game Q is the go to receiver. Just asking?

The Steelers got beat by the Bengals. Now Carson Palmer’s play was questionable at best, but of course you won’t hear about that on ESPN because he is overrated and overhyped every season. However I’m not going to call him a bum like some bitter fantasy owners who have been burnt in the past. The Steelers didn’t put the Bengals away when they had the chance and they came back to win. They could be 3-0 and be headed for the playoffs. If Carson Palmer made better throws there would have been a lot more “kiss the baby”

The Cowboys beat a pathetic looking Panthers team. Still not sure about this team though. I give them credit for winning a game they should have, but Jason Garrett made horrible play calls at the goal line. The Boys also benefitted from a horrible offensive pass interference call that erased 7 points. This call actually made a huge difference in the game. Maybe Steve Smith should have punched a teammate in training camp cuz the defense looks horrible. 3 games and DeMarcus doesn't have a sack.

The Giants have beaten 2 teams they definitely should have (Redskins, Bucs) and the Cowboys in a Romo to opposing secondary scrimmage. They play the Chiefs and then the Raiders so we won’t have any idea of how good they are until week 6 when they play the Saints. The Bucs decided to bench Byron Leftwich, now obviously something was wrong with their offense yesterday, but was it Leftwich? He played well against the Cowboys and Bills, maybe he just ran into a good defense. I don’t see how Josh Johnson gives you a better chance to win, especially since they fired their offensive coordinator after the preseason.

The Texans gave me another reason to hate Houston. After last week when I faced Schaub and Andre Johnson they put up ridiculous stats. This week when I picked them to win they lose to the Jaguars at home. They probably cost me about $125. Anyway how do you fumble when you are going into the end zone Chris Brown? MJD torched them and made Emeka happy.

The Saints beat the Bills pretty easily, but it wasn’t the bloodbath that other teams have experienced. The Bills are another team that fired their offensive coordinator after the preseason. TO was held catchless yesterday but refrained from calling anyone out.



Rodney Harrison called TO a clown for the answers he gave and said he was a selfish player. TO shot back via twitter stating Harrison was a cheater because he used steroids then asked if he needed the steroids because he could no longer get it done. Skip Bayless, the hater that he is, defended Harrison by saying it was HGH which isn’t as bad as steroids and he was coming back from an injury.

The Vikings pulled a victory out of nowhere. I have to admit Favre threw a great pass and Lewis made an even better catch. Luck was involved but I must give credit where it is due. Vernon Davis looked to have his breakout game, maybe I’ll start him sometime. Emeka swears he said Vernon Davis was finally going to breakout. Anyway as we discussed on Sunday we have no proof of this conversation, I can claim to have believed this because I actually drafted Vernon Davis…

Aaron Rodgers may have gotten on track, he threw 3 or 4 TDs against the Rams including a ridiculous bullet to Donald Driver that made Brett’s arm look like nothing.

The Broncos are 3-0, should be 2-1 but who cares they aren’t going to do anything.

The Chargers are 2-1, should be 1-2 save a horrible call that went against the Raiders. How interesting would that be? Is Shawne Merriman’s career over? The Dolphins are right on course with the Bill Parcels scheduled season 2 letdown. Chad Pennington? HAH!

What was up with those ugly neon green uniforms the Seahawks wore? What is it about the northwest? First the University of Oregon now the Seahawks? Who is Johnny Knox? Jay Cutler loves that kid.

Everybody was hyping Tebow and I don't like to knock injured players but if he can't take the hit he took on Saturday how is he suppoesed to play in the league? I know he's White Jesus and all according to most people but I don't see it.

Why does ESPN have Drew Bennett talking about football? He sits with Kordell Stewart who wasn't great but played in and won some big games for the Steelers. Drew Bennett played for 8 seasons and had a total of 307 receptions for 4,412 yards and 28 TDs... This is almost as bad as Tim Hasselbeck.
