Week 12: HD MM's Monday Morning QB Thoughts
1. Another impressive victory by the New York Football Giants on the road. And this time, without their #1 RB and #1 WR! My God, this team is scary good!
2. Eli without much of a run game yesterday, schooled Old-Man-Warner. He showed him that video game stat lines don't necessarily win games. Instead it's efficiency, limiting turnovers and capitalizing on red-zone opportunities that gets the job done. Old-man-river, take note.
3. With Romo back and TO getting utilized again, the Cowboys really DID miss Mr. Jessica Simpson when Brooks Bollinger and Brad Johnson had to take over. What a difference.
4. Speaking of the NFC East, no one is talking about the Washington Redskins and I would like to know why? They do everything that it takes to be successful in the playoffs including: running the ball effectively, limiting turnovers and playing great defense. IMO, this is why I rank the Skins ahead of the 'Boys.
5. Has there ever been a more clutch kicker in NFL history than Adam Vinatieri?
6. The Jets are still sitting alone atop the AFC East. They also have one of the easiest remaining schedules left (vs. Denver, @ SFO, vs. Buff, @ Seattle, vs Miami). I can't believe I'm saying this, but do we have a chance at a Subway Super Bowl? Ie: Giants vs. Jets?
7. Sabres, now do you see why you shouldn't make rash personnel changes in sports, especially at the QB position? Trent Edwards played masterfully yesterday, scoring 4 TD's (2 rushing, 2 throwing). The Bills' 54 points were the most the Chiefs have allowed in franchise history.
8. Speaking of the Chiefs, they have now lost 19 of their last 20, dating back to last year. Even the Lions have won 2 games in that span!
9. So much for the epic 0-11 Lions vs. 11-0 Titans, Turkey of a game. Come on Tennessee! Detroit held up their end of the bargain!
10. And finally, I give you all permission to rank my lowly Browns at the bottom of your power rankings. This team officially quit on Sunday. 5 turnovers, 5 more drops by Braylon Edwards and absolutely no emotion whatsoever by anyone on the team. For God's sake, our defense let a QB named after an herb pick our secondary apart! This team, from the front office and the coaching staff all the way down to the players are all in shambles. The crowd was chanting "Cowher, Cowher, Cowher" in the 3rd quarter, as a sign as to who they want to replace next year (Romeo A. Crennel). What an embarrassment to the NFL! With yesterday's lack of effort, the Browns are no longer my favorite sports team here in Cleveland. There is NO excuse in sports to EVER give up in a game! And that is what the Browns did in front of 70,000 fans at Cleveland Browns Stadium and countless amounts of Browns Backers world-wide! In summary, I'd like to quote our classy GM directly, "F*** you" Browns!!!
