I'll start off with my first Pro Bowl ballot.
QB:
Brees, McNabb, Rodgers
Manning, Rivers, Palmer
RB:
Peterson, S. Jackson, D Williams
MJD, Johnson, Benson
WR:
Fitz, Colston, Sidney Rice, D Jackson
A Johnson, Wayne, Ocho Cinco, VJ
TE:
Vernon Davis, Gonzalez
Clark, Gates
Safety:
Sharper
Reed
Corner:
Woodson, Samuel, Sheldon Brown
Johnathan Joseph, Leon Hall, Jarius Byrd not available (League leading 8 INTs)
Couldn't vote for Nnamdi as he has 1 pick and 2 passes defensed. It's been 10 games.
DE:
Forgot about Jared Allen... Peppers, Cole
Freeney, Mathis, Schoebel
ILB:
Bradie James, Willis
Ray Lewis (barely)
OLB:
Ware, Orakpo, Briggs
Suggs, Harrison, refuse to vote for Cushing
Obviously my votes are biased, I ignore players who pad their stats by blowing out JV teams (Brady, Moss) as well as those who can't play the real position (Welker, WRs were meant to be covered by CBs not LBs)
On to the week of upsets.
The Bengals lost to the Raiders... This isn't the most shocking thing in the world but damn. No Ace I am not jumping off the bandwagon. They will still make the playoffs, the question is will they have a bye, home game or will they be the 5 or 6 seed. They swept the Steelers and Ravens but losing to the Raiders left the door open.
The Steelers lost to the Chiefs. Didn't watch the game but I know they had a commanding lead in this game and they came from ahead to lose it. I never thought they were going to repeat, other people are probably thinking the same now.
The Colts beat the Ravens. No surprise there although the game was close. Steelers v Ravens next Sunday night. Must win if the Ravens want to be in the playoffs. Roethlisburger is hurt and so is Charlie Batch (his backup) so Dennis Dixon could start... That would be a win for the Ravens. Colts are 10-0, can they run the table? I think they play Houston next.
The Cowboys beat the Redskins 7-6 on a late TD pass. Romo tried to get Roy Williams killed a couple of times. He drops too many passes to be the WR who was supposed to replace TO. Overall the Cowboys receivers looked like shit in this game, Roy is still a bust. I thought the Cowboys were supposed to be great in November and then suck in December? Jason Campbell is getting way too much blame for the Redskins problems. Their O Line is horrible.
The Giants halted their losing streak by beating the Falcons. Matt Ryan the NFL has figured you out. Not sure this team will make the playoffs. I bet it's not so easy to forget about those great Michael Vick years right about now...
The Eagles beat the Bears to stay in the hunt for the NFC East.
Saints beat the Bucs to stay underrated
Vikings destroyed the Seahawks, do we know how good they are? When is te last time they played a good team? You people thought Denver and the Giants were great.
VY led the Titans deep out of their own territory to within field goal range to beat the Texans down in that shitty ass city... VY looks like he has learned how to play in the NFL. Chris Johnson is brasting on everyone. The Texans are still the underacheiving team we all know. Will Kubiak finally get fired? This was one of the few good Monday night games this season. These teams really don't like each other.
If I forgot anything let me know....

randy goes over VJ or ocho...
ReplyDeletebrady goes over rivers. looking at your picks you are closet "i love the chargers except LT" fan.
corner back picks are always tricky... you have to separate out pick numbers from reall good play... if i am playing the raiders or broncos there is a side i don't even throw the ball too because namdi and bailey are there. see romo antics for what happens when you try the opposite and test the best corners on teams game after game. obviously you don't want to send guys on name alone but you have to watch and make sure that stats are not a reflection of fear of good players and lack there of of others (thus bums getting opportunities to get picks and also wack tip drills).
also you gotta go with favre over mcnabb. humble one, how is favre in the top 5 for MVP but not in the pro bowl. rodgers should be in.... if he isn't its a travesty. honestly he may be the best QB RIGHT NOW as far as real skill and QBing goes... give the dude a line and defense and who knows (that's practically a whole team he needs to win so folks will take him seriously).
i still like ryan but obvioulsy he (the falcons) was not going to have an exact repeat of last year. but he is good... time will tell if he is rodgers-to-rivers good or eli-to-romo good (i mean they are struggling and i know folks who might take him over romo now...not me but i know there are those people).
also i got ronnie brown over benson (even though he is hurt, name ronnie the starter and benson as an alternate.. benson really there has to be someone else, lets' see.... can't think of anyone... uuhhh ray rice, LT... i guess benson it is).
where your newman synopsis?
is it too early to talk about vick to TO in buffalo for 2010-2011? not sure such a market can handle that kind of "diversity" on the squad...
one more thing... how dumb do the titans feel for bailing on VY so soon after the blown out of proportion mental breakdown fiasco (reminds me of TO supposedly wanting to commit suicide)... i don't knwo these people but outside of that, get the people some help if need be and put them on the field (which may be their best medicine if they are in fact deemed a threat to themselves...
ReplyDeleteback to the topic, titans could be talking about home field advantage for their first playoff game vs salvaging the season and lofty hopes of running the table if they would have at least entertained the idea of playing clutch, better decision making (shoudl i run or pass, well i will get the first running out of bounds real quick and hit britt next time), etc. they are working the option in the NFL---CRAZY!
