Checking Down:
-David Garrard is 10-10 for 126 yards and 2 TDs at half. However, please listen when I say it is a total mirage. One play was an outstanding 41 yard TD by Mercedes Lewis that Garrard cannot take much credit for. The rest were check downs and defensive lapses by Dallas. He is not the long term solution. It is like looking at Jason Campbell numbers in Washington some games: West Coast created numbers.
-The Dolphins really need to stop kicking FGs. It is killing them, and they will lose more games like they did against Pittsburgh if they cannot get more points out of their opportunities.
-Dallas looks like they have given up. I am pretty sure this is because they have given up.
-Kansas City dominated Buffalo today, but the scoreboard will not reflect it. The running game is so very good, and Cassel is settling well into a task master who can find people when he needs to.
-There’s the real Mark Sanchez! 40% completion, 1 pick, 2 other should have been picked passes.
-GB is in trouble. Their win today was nice, but this is supposed to be a high scoring team.
-Welcome home Matt Stafford. Detroit Lions, your 2011 NFC North Champions everybody!
-Patriot home reds are an awesome alternative uniform.
-SD starts the game with a safety, why am I not surprised?
-I really like the Chiefs and what they are doing. However, they need to put away teams like Buffalo if they want to make a playoff run.
-McNabb isn’t very good anymore, but it anyone surprised Rex Grossman fumbled on his first play?
-So, Oakland might be decent? I can’t believe I am saying this, but it is Oakland and Kansas City.
-Hey, a Darius Heyward-Bey sighting!
-The Raiders have racked up 92 points the last two games. Um, what.
-Green Bay showed good heart and with the win over the Vikings and the Vikings loss today, they will probably win that division. However, Detroit has 16-1 odds to win the NFC North. It isn’t crazy….
-The Jets and Sanchize were exposed. He is too inconsistent to lead them on a serious Super Bowl run as he is right now. If they hadn’t beaten New England earlier in the year, they’d be in some trouble right now.
-There are my Saints! Pittsburgh gets exposed for not being truly dominant, especially for Big Ben’s accuracy under pressure.
-With the 1st pick in the draft, the Dallas Cowboys select…..
Going Long:
-From what I’ve seen, Troy Smith should be the 49ers QB the rest of the year. I am not thinking he is perfect, but he does give them a chance to win and possibly grow into being the future at the QB position for them. He reminds me of several positive qualities from David Garrard and Matt Hasselbeck. Several times in Baltimore it was apparent he had something to offer, and he did win the Heisman. Alex Smith is always hurt and has never proven much, and we know David Carr is worth nothing. So, let him play, let’s see what happens. He is more innovative, and he did well today despite being in a different country and not having Vernon Davis to throw to.
