Still Perfect.. and You're Not.
As per usual I watched football all day Saturday and all day Sunday so I guess I continue my streak as a great football fan and a very bad husband but I guess you can't win them all. I am currently in the BWI Airport in Baltimore waiting to fly into Miami for tonight's game. I feel like a little kid I am so excieted. It was just a year ago that the league dubbed that we were so bad they wouldn't even give us ONE prime-time game; they didn't come out and say that but its obvious it was their thought. This organization is taking all the strides in the right direction. I'll touch on tonight's game later on....
*I watched a lot of football this weekend and the best player I saw was Eric Berry. I know Chris Johnson has an awesome day but Eric Berry is as good as advertised. I think that he could turn out to be the best Safety to ever play the game. He is so skilled in pass coverage, pass defense, tackling, and as a play maker it is truely unfair. Tim Tebow might be the greatest player to ever play at the collegiate level but Berry was the best player on that field.
*Kyle Rudolph and Michael Floyd are guys to keep a close eye on. Rudolph is exactly what Parcells fancies.
*The Lions hung in there against the Vikings for awhile but in the end Adrian Peterson hits another big run. Brett Favre has looked a little less aggresive and isn't turning the ball over. The Vikings are a dangerous team come playoffs because of their defense, running game, and now Brett Favre..
*I am so tired of hearing about the Patriots and Mark Sanchez that it literally is making me sick. What Sanchez did Sunday was impressive but the Patriots have lost Vrabel, Brushci, Harrison, Seymour, Hobbs, etc. and the fact is that they are NOT the same team we saw two seasons ago. It is no way refreshing knowing we play the Jets two times because Rex Ryan has that defense playing out of it's mind. Darrelle Revis is trailing only Nnamdi Asomugha as the league's best corner. Revis totally shut down Randy Moss.
* The Browns are the worst team in the league. They got destroyed by a below average Denver Broncos team. I think Mangini is going to look at a Quarterback in Aprils' draft if they have the #1 overall pick which I am thinking they will. The Broncos are now 2-0. Sweet schedule.
*The Cardinals seemed to find thier rhythm out there on Sunday. Jacksonville is not a very good football team but it is obvious when Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald are on the field together the Cardinals are a much better team.
*The Redskins and Rams game was among the worst games I have ever flipped to in my life. Chris Cooley and Steven jackson were the only bright spots in this game. The Skins wanted Sanchez last April and I am thinking that Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Colt McCoy, and Jevan Snead are going to be on their draft board this April.
*What a difference a week can make. The Seahawks dominated the Rams and then in turn were dominated by the now 2-0 49ers. Michael Crabtree where are you? The 49ers defense looks good and Frank Gore is having an MVP like first two weeks. Shaun Hill has not been impressive and in my opinion this team is a Quarterback away from contending.
*The Raiders defense is good. The Chiefs are a horrible team. There really isn't much more to say. Jamarcus Russell is the worst Quarterback in the league. He is so inaccurate and for lack of a better term dumb that I cannot believe he was a #1 pick. The Raiders won't win many games but the Chiefs, Broncos, and Raiders are bad teams that will beat up on each other all year long.
*That Houston/Tennessee game was special. We saw Andre Johnson show why is he is among the best receivers in the game. Matt Schaub had his career day. Where are you Steve Slaton? My fantasy team needs you. Chris Johnson is really special. the kid has an unmeasurable speed and a swagger about him. When the Titans took him I was like who? what? why? Boy was I wrong as this kid is turning into one of the best players in this league.
*The Ravens are my Super Bowl favorite. Flacco looks solid, their run game is great behind that monster Offensive Line , and they have a great defense. The Chargers did pass all over them and didn't have two starting Offensive Linemen or Jamal Williams and the Ravens took advantage of that. Terrible play calling down the stretch for San Diego. Haloti Ngata is the best defensive tackle in the game.
*The Steelers blew that game. The fact is without Troy Polamalu their defense is just good; not the best in the league like when they have him. They will regret losing that game bc now they are chasing the Ravens.
*The Giants/Cowboys game was as good as advertised. I do not like Jerry Jones but that stadium is friggin awesome. Tony Romo is not a big game Quarterback and it continues to show. Marion Barber is a big game Running Back and so is Felix Jones. The Cowboys secondary is suspect, Eli Manning is turning the corner as an upper echelon Quarterback in this league. Mario Manningham and Steve Smith have improved so much. Kevin Boss is servicable but they lack a big play tight end and it's obvious
*The Packers are pretenders after losing to the Bengals but the Bengals could very well be 2-0 if it wasn't for Brandon Stokley. Carson Palmer for Comeback Player of the Year and not Tom Brady.
*The Falcons trade for Tony Gonzalez seems to be a good move. The Falcons are for real but they are not as for real as the Saints. Drew Brees is the best player in the game right now. The Saints defense is better and if I had to pick today I would say Ravens/Saints in the Super Bowl.
*Tonight's game is big for the Dolphins. The Colts offensive tackle Charlie Johnson is banged up and this is the moment where the combo of Jason Taylor and Joey Porter need to shine for us. We CAN beat the Colts and if our offensive line can handle the Colts defensive line and we can get Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams going we WILL win this game. I cannot wait. Chad Pennington this is your night. Prove your doubters into followers; GO DOLPHINS!
