What have we learned - Week 10
Bleh. Not a lot to say today, because I'm watching football and the Eagles aren't getting killed yet, and I watched only a little of the games. So I learned some things, but not as much as I sometimes do.
One thing that I didn't have to learn, because everyone knows it: the Cardinals suck on the road. Jesus. They scored a rushing touchdown, though, so that's something.
The Colts are an unimpressive 9-0. I'm sorry, but they are. They could seriously lose 5 of the last 7 games. I wouldn't be surprised.
What a cool play by Nathan Vasher on the missed field goal. The Bears are playing like they did in 2001, when they went 13-3 with a lot of smoke and mirrors. They're 6-3 but not all that good.
Even when the Patriots are down, they're still damned lucky. Miami up 7-0, Chris Chambers (I think) catches a deep pass, falls down, and just as he gets up to run for more yardage, some Patriot knocks the ball out. Instead of possibly going up 14-0, New England goes down and kicks a field goal. Stupid Patriots.
Hey, aren't you Eli Manning, who was supposed to be the quarterback in the Super Bowl this year?
Stupid Chiefs. Turnovers will kill you. Just ask Eli Manning. Without those three interceptions, the Chiefs win.
I LOVE that the Ravens suck. Suck suck suck. Screw you, Brian Billick. I love when chickens come home to roost. Unless it's the Eagles. Doesn't everyone love the Eagles?
What the hell happened to Jake Plummer? Seriously. Someone stole his brain and replaced it someone smart.
Boy, the Panthers look good. Yes, the Jets played well, but Carolina just kept hammering and hammering them. It's hard to keep going with that kind of pounding.
Why no love for the Seahawks? Everyone says Indy is so great, but they get to play the Texans and the Titans twice. The Seahawks figured out that they should probably pound teams with Shaun Alexander. What a freakin' concept.
The stunner of the week had to be Green Bay beating Atlanta. Minnesota got lucky, but the Packers just pounded the Falcons. I hate rooting for Nancy-Boy Favre, but I wanted the Packers to win that game. I held back criticizing Vick last week because he played well, but this week he came back to earth. He looked okay in the early going, but for the rest of the game he looked awful. Sorry, Michael, but you're going to have to do better than a nice game against the Dolphins.
What a great call by Jon Gruden. Just like last week's Kansas City game. I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you can't pick up 1 yard in this league, you don't deserve to win.
Boy, the Browns looked good on the opening drive. I guess it's true: don't poke the bear! The Browns poked the bear, and the Steelers roared and beat the snot out of them.
I always have a little extra reason for wanting the Eagles to win. Tonight it's so Michael Irvin shuts the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, Michael Irvin. Terrell Owens is an asshole, and so are you. He thinks the Eagles are going to curl up and die now that dickhead receiver isn't playing for them. What a fucking tool.
I don't have much to say about college football this week, except that I loathe Notre Dame and hope they lose to Stanford, and even though I don't really like Texas that much, I was ambivalent about them winning the National Championship. After Saturday's game, I hope they either lose the Big Twelve Championship Game or get beaten by USC worse than Oklahoma last year. Why? They led 49-0 and kicked a field goal at the end of the half. Classy, Mack Brown. What a douchebag.
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!
[Update: Goddamn. The Eagles, essentially, made one mistake in the game, and they lose. Fuck. Why throw on second and seven when you're trying to run out the clock and you have been running the ball so well? Why? Goddamn. They may have lost McNabb, too, which might not be a bad thing, seeing how this season is basically over. Shut him down, get him ready for next year. Tonight they proved they could run the ball. Why the fuck doesn't Andy Reid do it more often?]
