Week 5 Thoughts
1. The "dream" has turned into a nightmare. The Iggles are 1-4?! Ouch. Can't see Vick not ending up on the IR in another week or so either. The thing is, we all saw this coming (with Vick not being able to stay healthy and with the porous offensive line). The question is, how did Eagle management NOT see this???
2. Emotional win by the Ray-dah's! JUST WIN BABY! Despite what you think of Al Davis, football historians know him for the man who effected the NFL on more levels than just about anyone else in the game. As a scout, coach, commissioner, owner and innovator. Al would be proud of the way their boys pulled it out in the end against a very good Houston team.
3. Chiefs vs. Colts. Did anyone WANT to win that game? Ouch. Suck for Luck sweepstakes: Advantage Colts.
4. What happened to the Cardinals this year? An embarrassing loss to the lowly Vikings? What are they, 2.5 years removed from the Super Bowl? Derek Anderson wasn't the answer. Kolb doesn't look to be the savior that everyone envisioned either. They've got a lot to figure out.
5. Why can't the Giants win two in a row? And a loss to the Seachickens, in East Rutherford?! Seattle typically doesn't play well when travelling to the east coast. This loss is more proof that the G-Men are still a very Jekyll and Hyde team.
6. So much for Ben's sore foot. Besides, he didn't need a foot to sling 5 TD's Sunday. Looks like the Steelers are working through some early season woes and may have righted the ship on Sunday.
7. Is there such a thing for a "moral victory" for Cam Newton and the Panthers? If so, they've got about 3 or 4 this year.
8. The Bengals are a better team with OUT Carson Palmer and Terrell Owens. This of course is a surprise to all. Including me.
9. 49ers 48, Bucs 3. Was that a college score?!
10. The Chargers are the luckiest 4-1 team in the league. But the fact is they are still 4-1 I guess. Not a very good 4 win team though.
11. Falcons lose another! Keep losing! Where my Browns make their second 1st round selection next year depends on it!!!
12. What happened to the Jets?
13. Looking forward to checking out the most exciting team in the NFL tonight.... the DETROIT LIONS! Never thought I'd say that!
