Someone pinch me because this was one bizarre week of football.
1.
Ronnie Brown! I really can get anything else out of my pie hole other than Ronnie Brown. He has been plastered on my Fantasy Bench since the beginning of the season and then BOOM 30-some odd points of production against the Patriots? Where did that come from? Running for TDs…Throwing for TDs…direct snaps? Hats off to Tony Sparano (or Soprano as I call him). What a great game plan!
2. The Chicago Bears are indeed a team of mystery. They could be 3-0 and instead are 1-2. After dominating a banged up Colts team the Bears blow a late lead to Carolina and now Tampa Bay. The Tampa game was well in hand with a 10 point lead late when the penalties and mistakes started to mount. A bonehead penalty by Peanut and drop by Sheed were pretty much the nails in the coffin. And the defense keeps giving it up at the end. What is the deal with that? Are these guys supposed to be in shape and trained to play 60 minutes? What a bunch of pansies!
3.
Matt Ryan, Roddy White and Michael “The Burner” Turner torched a sad KC defense. Atlanta isn’t a playoff team yet but this team has loads of talent. I bet all of the teams that were looking for a runner in the off season feel stupid for passing up on Turner. Furthermore, I bet the teams that passed up on Ryan in the draft and didn’t move up to get him feel stupid too.
4.
When I heard Westbrook went down early in the game I thought Pittsburgh would have their way with the Philadelphia Eagles. As it turned out Philly didn’t change any part of their game plan as Buckhalter filled in for Westbrook. Buckhalter has got to be one of the best back up runners in the game. He is a quick, powerful runner and has great hands out of the backfield. Watch out for Philly!
5. CHEERLEADERS OF WEEK 3
Let’s Go BRONCOS!!!
Meeeeeeow! The Charger girls sure had a lot to cheer about on Monday.
