This week was a less exciting week with the WORLD CHAMPION NY GIANTS on a bye week, as were the Colts, Seahawks, Lions and Dolphins. But let’s get started anyway.
If you ever hear anyone say “Jay Cutler is a good quarterback.” You tell them to bite their tongue! This week he, and the Denver Broncos, lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, the team I just made fun of for not having a QB a few posts ago; the team that actually thought about playing a wide receiver at QB. And Jay Cutler and his 2 interceptions cost me, $120K. Yup, I took the Denver Broncos over the KC Chiefs this week, and lost...despite the fact that, Cutler actually had 361 yards passing?? Well, the four turnovers didn’t help! I have to be be mad at someone...
The Carolina Panthers beat the Atlanta Falcons, 24-9. Muhsin Muhammad had 147 yards receiving, and Steve Smith had his first touchdown. Not the WORLD CHAMPION NY GIANT, Steve Smith. The other one. The one that punched his teammate and broke his nose...sound familiar? Well, I guess he is sorry, because Smith took the football he scored with, from a fan and gave it to his teammate, Ken Lucas, as an “I am sorry I broke your nose” present. Awwwww...now next time, he can steal the ball from someone else and give it to the fan he stole the ball from this week as an “I am sorry I took the football from you to give it to the guy whose nose I broke” present. Looks like Steve Smith started an ugly cycle.
He made up for breaking someone's nose, by giving them a football, he took away from someone else...if you don't see the wrong in that,look here...

Ohhhhh guess what!?!? The Cleveland Browns won a game!! They beat the Bengals this week, 20-12. Lucky for Anderson, this may mean he gets to keep his job for another week. Sit down, Brady Quinn. I am sure you know how to do that, we all watched you sit for hours while you didn’t get drafted on national tv. (Nothing personal, as a Penn State fan I must hate all things Notre Dame). You know what else was lucky for Derek Anderson, he played the Bengals without Carson Palmer. Maybe next week, Brady.
Special teams wins the game for Jacksonville, again. Scobee, who I didn’t know existed until ESPN had an entire "Scobee Moment Montage" this weekend, kicked a 37 yarder through the uprights, in over time and the Jaguars beat Houston 30-27.
PS. Houston is NOT good.
Deeeuuuuuuccceee McAllister outshone Reggie Bush this week and led the New Orleans Saints to a 'W' over the 49ers. I know, its just the 49ers, who haven’t had a player on their team I can name since, Steve Young. But maybe this means, Deuce is back! That’s exciting because now the Saints have 2 running plays! Run Reggie, Run Deuce. Come on, I love the Saints. No one hates the Saints, but you know you were tired of the same play! Nice Job, Deuce! Saints over ‘9ers, 17-31.
There was also an old timers game this weekend, where the old NFL quarterbacks game back to play each other...oh no, wait...that’s Brett Fav-ruh...and Kurt Warner? Yup, the too old guys of the NFL, hit the turf together and the older of the old won. Favre and the Jets, 35-56. And the Jets even wore their hideous throwback jerseys. Perhaps to make the old guys feel more comfortable. Just like old time, huh guys!?
Kurt Warner even wrote Favre a nice letter before the game to show his good old time sportsmanship. Fav-ruh shares it with us below...
In the Battle of the Bays (Green and Tampa, yeah, I made that up!). Things didn’t go so well for Aaron Rodgers. He threw 3 interceptions and we got to see Matt Flynn play. I know what you are saying, poor guy, they took him out after just three interceptions? Nope, he was sacked three times and there were those 2 fumbles. Ok, lets be nice. Poor Aaron, he actually hurt his shoulder (and his feelings )and had to come out of the game. I am not ready to write Aaron Rodgers off yet, he has potential and to his defense, “Can he get a little help from his offensive line, please??” To be honest, the Tampa Bay defense was right on the money (kinda like the Kansas City defense was right on my money! Stupid, Cutler!). Don’t look too smug yet, Favre.
All these interceptions and you know who didn’t have any this week? Former, NY Giant, Kerri Collins. Can you believe it? Kerri Collins and the Tennessee Titans are 4-0 with the Minnesota Vikings being their latest victim. I didn’t watch the game, sorry. 17-30, Titans.
San Diego beat Oakland, 28-18. (Should have picked that game! Stupid, Jay Cutler!) I can talk about it if you want, but the Oakland Raiders played like the Oakland Raiders and even though Phillip Rivers has 2 interceptions and no one really had a break out day for the Chargers, when Oakland plays like Oakland you don’t need to do too much.
Buffalo is undefeated and I never would have thought they would be, but this week they proved nothing when they beat St. Louis. St. Louis is the new laughing stock of the NFL. I thought there would be more competition, you know with the Raiders and the 49ers, the Detroit Lions and the Miami Dolphins, but while those teams still have the potential to be no good, the title for the worst team in the league has clearly been claimed, early in the season, by the Rams. They took out Mark Buldger, who I am sure will leave the NFL after this year and never be heard from again, and replaced him with Trent Green. Yup, same guy who once played for the Dolphins! Good luck. Final score, 31-14, Buffalo.
Now, for the NFC Beast games.
Ouch! That’s what Tony Romo felt when the Redskins put an end to all the “Cowboys are awesome chatter” we hear every year when the news is diluted with how great the Cowboys are, but every year they are quieted; This year it came early with a loss to Washington. Ouch! Yeah, that’s what Tony Romo and Dallas felt for a second time, when TO said “it aint my fault!” Give the ball to TO and win games, don’t give it to TO and lose games, sums up TO's post-game commnets. Either way, I don’t care. I am just happy that for at least the remainder of the season I don’t have to hear another word about the Cowboys possibly going 16-0. Not happening buddy...not this year! 26-24, ‘Skins.
With another upset in the East, Chicago beat Philadelphia. Which is great for me because any loss for Philly is a win for a Giants fan. The Eagles were short Westbrook and a few others, which is what I am sure they will blame the loss on, but as much as I would love to pick on the Eagles, the game was pretty boring. I am sure Bears fans didn’t think so, but in the end it was 24-20. Bears!
Monday night game is Baltimore at Pittsburgh.
Monday Night update:
Looks like you are no where this year without a good kicker. Yet another OT decided by 3 points. After Pittsburgh managed to score TWO touchdowns in 15 seconds to take the lead, a Baltimore TD and Steeler's field goal tied things up at the end of regulation, but 46 yrd field goal in OT ended Pittsburgh over Baltimore. 23-20.
