Yeah week seven! We saw one incredible comeback (and man-on-man action), several first time-starters and more than a few clunkers in this latest weekend of NFL action. I still loved every minute of it. Let’s start The Final Drive!
(4-3) Atlanta Falcons 23(5-2) Detroit Lions 16
Apparently you shouldn’t taunt Matt Ryan when he’s injured… because he’ll come back two plays later and smoke you. As for the Lions; dropping two in a row and Matthew Stafford is “day to day” with ankle and knee injuries? Zoinks Scoob.
(4-3) Houston Texans 41(3-3) Tennessee Titans 7
Yeah… Chris Johnson is hot garbage right now. He’s still dancing around like he’s at a nightclub during the lock-out. Without him, the Titans are also hot garbage, leaving Houston at the top of the division be default.
(2-4) Denver Broncos 18
(0-6) Miami Dolphins 15
Yeah Tim Tebow led a mind-boggling series of drives to come back from down 15 in the final three minutes, but he still looked like pure shit for three and a half quarters. But, he did kiss Demaryius Thomas on the field after the win. Let the debate rage on! (Also, fire Tony Sparano right now.)
(4-3) New York Jets 27(4-2) San Diego Chargers 21
I feel bad for Charger fans who saw their team just pfft away a sure win to freaking Mark Sanchez and an ex-con. I said it.
(3-3) Kansas City Chiefs 28(4-3) Oakland Raiders 0
Hue Jackson had no business putting Carson Palmer in a game in which he wasn’t prepared enough to start. Kyle Boller may have thrown three picks, but that’s no reason to toss Palmer to the wolves. Just bend over, take the loss, head into the bye and get Palmer ready. (And how are the Chiefs 3-3? I call B.S.)
(7-0) Green Bay Packers 33(1-6) Minnesota Vikings 27
So Christian Ponder didn’t look half bad. That’s all I need to say on this one.
(0-7) Indianapolis Colts 7
Wait, before we fire Tony Sparano, Jim Caldwell needs to get canned. If you can’t get your NFL-level defense to not give up 62 points, you need to go. Peyton Manning never played defense. That kind of effort is completely unacceptable. (They should give Manning the MVP Award this week. Seriously.)
(2-5) Jacksonville Jaguars 12(4-2) Baltimore Ravens 7
What a clusterfuck. Even with three Maurice Jones-Drew fumbles. It took the Ravens nearly 58 minutes to score their only points of the game, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Josh Scobee’s four field goals. Effing Ravens.
Alright everyone, see you next week!
