Saints open a can of whip ass on the Colts

  Sean Payton's latest injury had no effect on the Saints 62-7 win over the Colts. Payton arrived on the field on crutches sporting a leg brace. Many fans were worried how Payton not being on the field would effect the play calling. When in fact it might have help more than anything. Giving him a different perspective of the game from the booth. The Saints blew the roof off the superdome tying the NFL record for the most points scored in a game since the merger in the 1970's. For four games in a row Brees has thrown for 350 yards or more but failed to extend his NFL record falling short by 25 yards. And the NFL's best tightend Jimmy Graham who leads all tightends in the NFL in receiving yards and only trails 2 receivers had another effective game against the Colts. Darren Sproles averaging over 7 yards a carry and reception has been one of the Saints best free agent signings since Drew Brees was                     signed in 2006. Both players coming from the San Diego Chargers.                                        

Top 5 teams in the NFL in week 5

 #1 Green Bay is the best team in the NFL in week 5

#2 The Saints offense is rolling & the defense is starting to learn how to play with the new additions on the defensive line.

 #3 The Lions have made a drastic change from  the team they were last year and have given hope to a team that was once the door mat of the NFL.

 #4 The Patriots have improved there roster from last year and have there eyes set on a Super Bowl run this year.   

 #5 The Ravens are one of the deepest teams in the NFL at almost every position on the team, and have the most talent on defense.

Monday Night Football

  The Lions played the Bears on Monday night football. It's been almost a decade since the Lions have played on Monday night football. Bears QB Jay Cutler was hit on almost every play. Not one time did Cutler get to set his feet to make a throw down field. He still managed to put up decent passing yards throwing for 260 yards and a touchdown as Cutler showed great foot work all through the game. Matt Forte ran for over a 100 yards again this week after running for over 200 yards last week. The Lions defensive line handled the Bears offensive line like they were a high school team. Suh let his presents be felt all game long and the Bears had no answer for him. At half time I expected the Bears to make adjustments, having a running back chip the defensive ends, or bringing in a tight end are two to help the Bears offensive line. Not one time did the Bears  try anything to help protect Jay Cutler during the game. But you have to give the Lions credit. They played great on both sides of the ball on Monday night football. On one of the biggest stages in football they brought there A game. It's been since 1971 the last time the Lions had a pro bowl quarterback and since  1956 the last time they started 5-0. Well it's 2011 and the Lions are 5-0 to start the season and Stafford is having a tremendous year so far. He has a ways to go to make the pro bowl this year but has began the season with a great start. Matthew Stafford finished the game 19/26 with 219 yards 2 touchdowns and 1 int. Lions running back Jahvid Best had a career high 12 carries for a 163 yards rushing  and a touchdown. Calvin Johnson a.k.a Megatron lead all receivers with 5 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown.

     Everyone keeps waiting for the Detroit Lions to lose. They just keep finding ways to win.

Week 4 results minus monday night's game

Will Romo be the starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys next season?

  So far this seasons picks have not been that bad. This week minus the Monday night game I'm 11-4. That's a total of 43-20 for the season. I picked the Dallas Cowboys to upset the Detroit Lions, and it looked like a good prediction til the fourth quarter came around. The Dallas Cowboys have never lost a game with that big of a lead going into the second half. It was a total disaster for Tony Romo. Who had played so well in the first half of the game. Romo ended the game 34 of 47 331 yards 3 touchdowns and 3 ints.

Fizpatrick sputters in Bills first loss of the season.

    Who would have believed that the Bengals had any chance of beating the Buffalo Bills? The rookie quarterback wide receiver combination in A J  Green and Andy Dalton have given this franchise hope for the future. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton went 18 of 36 for 298 yards 1 touchdown and 2ints. A J Green had a tremendous game with 4 receptions for 98 yards averaging 29 yard a catch.

Can Vick get his team on track before its to late?

    No one gave the 49ers a chance to win against the Eagles this week. Michael Vick had a tremendous game
throwing for a career high 30/46 for 416 yards 2TDs and 1INT. On the ground he carried the ball 8 times for 75 yards. The Eagles were on there way to winning this game, and than came the second half. The 49ers scored three touchdowns in the second half. Alex Smith went 21/33 for 291 yards 2TDs catching on fire in the second half of the game. Gore ran the ball effectively rushing for 127 yards on just 15 carries and 1TD.



    Two teams that have not been able to win a game in the first three weeks of the season. Kansas City has played awful in their last three games,  not even coming close to winning a game this season. The Vikings new QB Mcnabb has not played well. In the first game of the season he throw for less than a 100 yards. Adrian Peterson was a number one or two pick in most fantasy leagues at the beginning of the year, but has not been fed the ball enough. He rushed 23 times for 80 yards against the Chiefs.Mcnabb threw for 202 yards 2 TDs and 1 INT. Kansas had a good game through the air with Matt Cassel throwing for 260 and 1 TD. Dwayne Bowe caught 5 passes for 107 yards and 1 TD.


   

Can Vick stay healthy all season

Will Vick be able to stay healthy all season long? If he can will it be good enough for the Eagles weak offensive line. Vick makes up for alot of problems the Eagles have on that offensive line, and a broken Vick may not be able to pick up the slack. The last 3 weeks of the season he's been off his game. He's staying in the pocket way to long. It seems like he's trying to draw the flag instead  of playing his game. Vick is the best dual threat QB in the NFL ever. His running has always been the highlight of his game. His passing game improved last season, but that was due to his running ability. When a QB is a dual threat the safety's have to stay true to the threat of the QB running ability. Vick has to stop worrying about drawing the flag, and play his game.Vick has more of a chance of getting hurt in the pocket than running the ball. If he can run the ball effectively the Eagles have a chance at the playoffs
