Week 5 NFL Recap

I realized last week, Mike Vick is one of my favorite players and I can’t wait to watch him ball again.

What the hell happened in the NFL?
The Falcons are 4-1 and they should be 2-3 (Saints and 49ers gave them games)
The Chiefs are 3-1 and could have beaten the Colts
The Chargers lost to the Raiders

The Patriots traded Randy Moss to the Vikings for a 3rd round pick and won’t say why… I am rooting against the Patriots even more than usual. The NFL Network asked it’s analysts if WRs are appreciated after Michael Irvin’s interview with T.O. Marshall Faulk was dismissing WRs, talkin bout they don’t block. Maybe the receivers he played with didn’t block, but the one’s that do block get very little credit for it. Great example Irvin gave is that Shannon Sharpe and another guy I’m not old enough to remember aren’t in the Hall of Fame yet… I agree with Irvin, too much credit is given to QBs and not enough to receivers, especially by non-athletic sports writers… Mike Lupica!

The Jets survived a defense that collapsed in the 4th, horrible play calling with less than 4 minutes to go in the game and Sanchez missing open receivers. The Vikings offense was horrible for 3 quarters and then Brett Favre had a spurt of greatness until he threw a pick 6 to end the game. LT is playing at a high level, I think this is the my former team cut me so I’ll get back in shape and “prove them wrong” it’s more like prove I wasn’t working that hard… Sanchez is a bubble, it will burst just like Tech in 2001 and Housing in 2008.

The Cowboys lost to the Titans because they had a ridiculous number of penalties, was it 16? The deal breaker was Jason Witten tossing the ball to Marc Columbo who then spiked it, they did a chest bump and then Columbo fell on the ground. I am not anti celebreations, unless they suck, but this broke the rule. 15 yd backup on the kickoff led to a long returns, the kicker had been kicking touchbacks. The Boys need leadership! I have been saying this for over a year now… Jerry Jones needs a GM. That catch Miles Austin made was sick… And VY was ballin… Mike Jenkins… really? Why are you grabbing a receivervs jersey twice on the opening drive?

The 49ers lost to the Eagles. Mike Singletary went off on Alex Smith, but he responded by leading the offense down the field and almost coming back to win. Maybe Singletary should yell at him before the game… Jeremy Maclin continues to emerge as DJ can’t beat double coverage, I believe I said Maclin would close the gap this year… If you don’t remember, check yahoo I drafted him!

The Bengals lost to the Bucs because of an absolutely horrible call. A Bucs receiver attempted to catch the ball on the sideline, 1. One of his feet was in the air and came down out of bounds, 2. The player did not maintain possession as he hit the ground. Absolutely horrible call, don’t know how that didn’t get talked about more. T.O. was over 100 with a TD again. Carson Palmer continues to be a bum. He is consistently throwing behind receivers and telegraphing passes like he went to UF. Josh Freeman is quietly playing very well, he’s in his 2nd year and gets no run. JOSH FREEMAN IS BETTER THAN MARK SANCHEZ! Yeah I said it. Give Freeman the Jet’s weapons and what do you think he does? Braylon, Holmes, Cotchery, Keller, LT and Greene vs Winslow, Mike Williams, Cadillac and Earnest Graham…

The Colts had troble with the Chiefs but got the W. The Chiefs are not a bunch of scrubs and if they didn’t have a USC QB they would be even better. I still think Peyton will get it together.

The Giants beat the Texans down. When is Gary Kubiak getting fired? How do you start the game off airing it out? I know you have the best WR in the game but your RB is leading the league in rushing. Most teams use their run game to setup the pass game, not the other way around. I guess there’s a reason for that…

The Saints lost to the Cardinals. The Saints miss Reggie Bush more than anyone thought they would. The Cardinals are ridiculously inconsistent. Drew Brees needs to stop throwing INTs.

The Packers lost to the Skins in OT. The Skins should have been called for roughing the passer and given the Packers a chance to win. I don’t understand how refs can blow calls like roughing the passer when they usually throw them too easily…

The Raiders beat the Chargers because the Chargers special teams sucks… That’s the same way the Seahawks beat them.

Other Games:
Falcons beat the Browns, the birds are overrated
Lions beat the Rams down for 1st W
Jags beat Bills
Ravens beat the Broncos
Bears beat down the Panthers, 4 INTs by Todd Collins and the Bears won 23-6 (lucky 4-1 team)

Next Week:
Ravens @ Patriots
Falcons @ Eagles (will Vick play)
Chiefs @ Texans
Boys @ Vikings
