NFL Slants for Week 11

Checking Down:

-The Colts are just too hurt, and Peyton knows it. That is why he played for the win and not overtime. He knew he wasn’t going to get another chance

-Houston needs a secondary badly

-The Jets win again, and while I don’t believe in them still, my own logic with the Pats applies. The team that comes from behind every week is still winning

-Baltimore dominated like it should, but the defense took a long time to come around

-Buffalo unloaded a can of whop ass on Cincy. Maybe we need to see the other Palmer soon

-Dallas is decent team. We knew that, but they were apparently sleeping. Now the question is: Does Romo come back?

-Jacksonville just keeps on winning. I almost hope they make the playoffs, because that would be entertaining to watch them get blown out first round

-KC blew out Arizona, like we thought. Funny thing is, Larry Fitz continues on pace to be better than Anquan Boldin this year

-This was an assertive moment for both Pittsburgh and Green Bay to put potential challenges essentially out of their misery and assert themselves as clear upper echelon teams. It is truly impressive for Green Bay

-There’s the Oakland we all know

-Tennessee proves my point from last week that this is a QB driven league, and they have someone called “Rusty Smith” at the position. Yup

-New Orleans is rolling…..shhhhh

-TB puts SF out of its misery, but we didn’t really learn anything in that game, did we?

-ATL won convincingly, but St. Louis showed its quality again. Bradford is going to be SPECIAL

-Philly and the G-Men both showed deep flaws (PHI-red zone inefficiency, scoring without the big play, and NYG-consistency and throwing from behind). It is why the NFC champ will most likely come out of the South

Going Deep:

-The Pats again dominated the game. That they almost let up the lead again (like the BAL, PIT, and SD games) just shows a young secondary and normal garbage time effects. However, that they have “almost” let up 4 times against 4 really good teams but never did really does show something about them. Best coached team in the league, by far. They, and Brady, will matter come playoff time. Now, they just need to beat the Jets and they will have head to head tiebreakers over the Colts, Steelers, Ravens, Chargers, and Colts for top seeding. Now THAT is impressive.
