So Far In Week 5.....

Jaguars @ Bills 36-26
Well the Bills came out on fire in this game looking like a team ready to get their first win, but Jacksonville did not panic and held strong. The Jaguars tied up the game going into half time and that was about all she wrote after that, they came out the second half and put the smack down on the Bills. The Bills are in desperate need of some pieces to their puzzle, Fitzpatrick is probably not the answer at QB and need some offensive line help. Jaguars are looking pretty good now and could be a force to reckon with in the AFC south. Jacksonville will be at home against the Titans next week, and the Bills will try to get some problems figured out in their bye week.

Buccaneers @ Bengals 24-21
Well I’m not sure to give congrats to the Bucs or slap the coaches of Bengals. Did they not watch film, did they not know that the strong suit of the Bucs were defense? Still have to give credit to the Bucs for winning the game, but I think Bengals shot themselves in the foot with playing mistakes and coaching mistakes. On the upside for Cincy is Benson had 23 carries for 144 yards and Owens has had back to back 100 yard games. Far as Tampa goes you have to like their defense they play very well and the offense is coming around under Josh Freeman this could be something special in the making, have to wait and see. Tampa has the Saints coming down to them in a very winnable game for them, and Bengals will enjoy their bye week.

Falcons @ Browns 20-10
Believe this or not but the Browns actually went into halftime with a 7-6 lead. After the third quarter it was only 13-7. The Browns have some talented players it’s just they don’t have all the pieces to the puzzle yet, but with Mike Holmgren as the mastermind of the team, it will get better. Falcons though have a solid team on defense and on offense and are my pick to win the NFC South over the Saints. Matt Ryan is not playing all worlds but he is playing very solid, and with Michael Turner back their running game has been solidified once again. Atlanta will travel to Philadelphia to have a Falcon vs. Eagle battle, and the Browns are fortunate to get the Steelers.

Rams @ Lions 6-44
Well I think most thought this would be a close game but that the Lions or the Rams could squeak it out, just whoever had ball last. Well the Lions showed that their offense is high octane. The defense I am not sold on but that offense can hang with some people. The Rams were going for 3 straight wins but with an early exit of Marc Clayton with a knee injury it put some strain on the offense. The Lions though should have saved some of those points for next week when they take on the Giants, and the Rams will try to bounce back against the Chargers who are not good away but they are home where they been excellent.

Chiefs @ Colts 9-19
What can you say about the Chiefs except I think they lost this game for themselves? Did they not realize at beginning of the game every point could matter and that’s why they didn’t kick the f/g early in the game or was it because they did not have faith in their defense to slow down the Colts? Well either way the Chiefs defense is for real, and the Chiefs are for real. The Colts are kind of scary this year, you just don’t know how they are going to do, and Peyton Manning almost seems disinterested out on the field now. Colts will get to look better against Washington next week at Washington, and the Chiefs look to go 4-1 against the Texans.

Packers @ Redskins 13-16
Well I will be the first to say I drank the Packers Kool-Aid and thought every team was going to struggle to compete with them, well I might have been little wrong but I will say Ryan Grant going down hurt them a ton. The Redskins in this game did not seem like they were doing much but they just would not go away, they stuck around and stuck around, until they tied the game up with a FG at end of game to tie it up to take it to overtime. Then a pick by Rodgers and a few offensive plays by Redskins gave them the game winning FG to beat the Packers. The Packers should have tried to get Lynch at RB but what is done is done. The Packers will face Miami at home next week, and the Redskins will take on the Colts at home, can Redskins upset it two weeks in a row?

Bears @ Panthers 23-6
Did the Panthers forget they have two stud running backs? Did they forget their QB is a rookie, or that their best WR was out? Well I will tell you this Bears did not forget that Cutler was out and that Collins is not the man, because they gave the Panthers a heavy dose of run, run, and run. This is what is surprising Forte had 22 Carries for 166 yards, but leading rusher for Panthers was Williams with only 12 Carries for 51 Yards. You can do the math that is averaging over 4 yards per carry and I do understand Bears got on a big early lead but it was the first quarter you don’t abandon your game plan yet. Cutler should be back for the Bears next week due to the sign he was practicing Friday, the Bears will take on the Seahawks at home. The Panthers will try to get their act together against the BYE week, maybe the only “team” they can beat.

Broncos @ Ravens 17-31
I really thought that the Broncos would have played better than they did in this game, but I think that is because of that Ravens Defense that is just well good. Orton still threw for over 300 yards which is a good sign if you’re a Broncos fan playing against the Ravens, but the rushing attack well there was none. Joe Flacco did not do much in this game but he didn’t have to, Ray Rice finally decided to show up and play, 27 carries for 133 yards and 2 Touch Downs. The Ravens and the Jets are looking like the teams to beat in the AFC have to keep watching to find out. Denver will take on the Jets next week, and the Ravens will go to battle with the Moss-less Patriots.

Giants @ Texans 34-10
Well this game was I think a surprise to everybody. I don’t think it was much of a shock that Giants won but the fact they made the Texans offense look like a middle school team. If I told you a QB went 16-34 for 196 yards you would of thought it was Manning but no it was Schaub, and if I told you a WR went 12 receptions and 130 yards and 2 TDs you would of thought AJ but no it was Nicks. If the Giants can keep playing this well on offense and play that stingy defense keep your eye on them, as far as the Texans go they need to turn this around and do it quickly. Unfortunately they will have to try against another stingy defense in the Chiefs, and the Giants will try to beat the Lions back down to reality.

Saints @ Cardinals 20-30
I will be first one to say that I thought the Saints would have a double digit win over the Cardinals, especially with that beast of a QB that Cardinals were playing Max Hall, but it was just not the case. You almost have to ask yourself is the Saints really any good this year? It is a question I keep asking and I keep coming up with yes but it is starting to fade into a no. The Cardinals I will give them credit for beating the Saints but I am not sold on them, I do not think Max Hall is the answer but QB’s have came out of nowhere before, so we will see. Max Hall will get another opportunity in Week 7 because Week 6 they will enjoy a Bye and the Saints will take on the Bucs down in Tampa.

Titans @ Cowboys 34-27
How about dem Boys? Jerry Jones has to be ready to go to his grave seeing his team play this bad, especially with all those Super Bowl talks in the preseason. Really what’s scary about this team is I’m not sure if that there good just playing good teams, or if they are just not really good at all. I will have to give credit to the Titans they played a hard fought game and never game up and came out with the victory. CJ went CJ again and had 19 carries for 131 yards and 2 TDS and I think he is the key to the Titans success not Vince Young. The Cowboys will try to go 2-3 against the Vikings next week and the Titans will look to stay in the fight for the AFC south against the Jaguars.

Chargers @ Raiders 27-35
By time this game ended I was no longer surprised what could happen in the NFL, of course I thought Chargers would beat the Raiders because offense is better and looked to have a good defense, well I was wrong and if you had the Raiders stop lying to me and yourself. Phillip Rivers had a career day out there throwing for 431 yards but somehow the Chargers defense managed to make the Raiders offense look all pro. It was a good day though for you if you had Chargers offense on your Fantasy team but not so good if you’re just a Chargers fan. The Raiders are the Raiders and don’t get to excited to think you guys are back yet, you will get a chance to prove it next week against the 49ers that are a winless team and the Chargers go on road where they been horrible against the Rams.

Eagles @ 49ers 27-24
Alex Smith looks like he should be picking up garbage rather than playing QB in NFL, then all of a sudden he looks like the second coming of Steve Young. In order for him to keep his job and to be successful in this league he will have to learn to be consistent. I do not have much to say about the Eagles because I honestly believe the 49ers beat themselves way more than Eagles beat them. I will say Kolb enjoy your time at QB soon as Vick comes back your back to the pine. The 49ers will try to get their first win next week against the Raiders, while the Eagles will take on the Falcons at home.

Unpredictable, Crazy, Mayhem, Surprises, and not to many sure things, that is what is going so far in Week 5…come back tomorrow to get MNF update.



************************UPDATE**************************

Vikings @ Jets

Well this one got started off late because of the lighting delay, but once it started looked like the Jets were only ones ready to play. Well I hate to say only ones because the Vikings defense looked ready but the Offense not so much. In usual fashion though late 3rd quarter Brett Favre started to bring back the Vikings and then in usual Favre he throws an interception at end of game to seal it. As far as the Jets go Sanchez has looked much better even though he struggled in 2nd half of the game, and L.T is back my freinds, I don't know if he can play a whole season like he is playing but if he can watch out. The Vikings will take on the Cowboys and The Jets go to Denver to take on the Broncos.
