Week 3 Musings

This will be a short list, because I didn't watch as much as normal.

  • -The Giants should just go to the K-Gun all the time. They do much better late in the game running the no-huddle that they do in their regular offense. There is no way they should have scored 27 points in the 4th quarter. If they hadn't been so dreadful in the first half, well, who knows.
  • Will Chris Simms play better now that his spleen has been removed? That was a helluva hit - gotta admire the hustle to get in the end zone, but, damn.
  • Greg Jennings of Green Bay will go to the Pro Bowl in the next three years.
  • Don't get excited because the Packers beat the Lions. Florida State would beat the Lions.
  • Tom Brady sure seems to whine a lot more when they don't get all the calls.
  • The Jets have surpassed the win total I predicted they would have for the whole season. I'll begrudgingly give credit - even though it was the Bills, a road win is a road win.
  • Did you expect Mark Brunell to start with 22 straight completions?
  • Frank Gore's fumble at the 1-yard line might be the most important play of the year - a sure 7 points for the Niners by their up-and-coming back turns into a fumble and a 99-yard touchdown for Philly. It might send the Eagles on a tear after last week's disaster and completely destroy the Niners' early confidence.
  • The Bengals are 3-0. The temperature in Hell is dropping.
  • The Jaguars blew too many opportunities today. They will regret it when they have to go on the road in January, if they even make it to the playoffs.
  • Dear Jeff Fisher: Start Vince Young NOW. Please stop subjecting us all to the sight of Kerry Collins interceptions.
