holy shit saints are for real

Man I knew that when they got Derron Sharper. Their defense does just enough to slow down the opposing offense. While Drew Brees airs it out.

Oh, God!

I forgot to start Drew Brees in one of my fantasy teams :(

Nothing like watching your team get their asses handed to them one week, and then the team that demolished you gets their asses handed to them the next week. The Giants just made the Raiders look BAAAAD.

Lucky me although it came at the expense of the Giants unfortunately, at least they'll be in the playoffs which is more than you can say for Oakland.

As for my Brownies the defense had it's moments, but the offense turned the ball over way too much. With this and the upset to OSU I lost all hope for Ohio sports. Well at least we have the Cavs.

You can blame Modell for that, those aren't the same Browns you used to know and love. Also keep in mind Couch is not a draft bust.

aaaaaand the Ravens channel Scott Norwood all the way to 3-3.

My picks were looking so good this week too, way to blow it Baltimore :(

They should have kept Stover, oh well.

Brady had two TDs in less than a minute due to a Titans fumble. I hate New England, but goddamn I've never seen that happen before.

Jamarcus is 8/10 for 134 yards and a TD leading the Raiders to a 10 - 3 lead. In other news, hell has frozen over.

What is up with the Titans lately, granted they lost their best defensive player to free agency but still...seriously!

FREE VINCE YOUNG

I have him on two fantasy teams actually including the Newgrounds one. Poor Nightcrawler.

Yeah fuck Art Modell. As for Couch I never thought he was a bust his career QB rating is around the 80's and that's good considering he never had a 1,000 yard rusher and a horrible offensive line.

As for my picks I'm doing fairly well. Should have went with my gut on the Kansas City Washington game, but other than that I did okay.

First off.

RAIIIIIIIIIIIIIDERRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSS SSS. HOO, HOO, HOO!

Too bad when we win a game I start the players from the losing team (had McNabb, Westbrook, Celek & Akers all on my NG League team). Two simple moves of taking out McNabb and Walter and putting in Garrard and Jonathan Stewart and I could have won this week's matchup. Walter was my bad, McNabb should have played better & received a lot more protection in the pocket. Six sacks. SIX. I said goddamn.

Maybe Tony Gonzalez can pull out a huge game and put me in the lead heading into MNF; my opponent has Vincent Jackson left to play tomorrow.

Second, final yardages for TEN-NE:

Total Yards (NE-TEN): 619-186
Total Pass Yards: 426 - -7

Lastly, today was a highly interesting QBing day in the NFL. Let's call it The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. To review:

The Good:

T. Brady: 29-34, 380 yds, 2 sacks, 6 TDs
(^ + B. Hoyer: 9-11, 52 yds, rush TD)
M. Schaub: 28-40, 392 yds, 2 sacks, 4 TDs, 1 INT
B. Roethlisberger: 23-35, 417 yds, 3 sacks, 2 TDs, 1 INT; 6 rush, 11 yds, 1 fumble
A. Rodgers: 29-37, 358 yds, 5 sacks, 2 TDs, 1 INT
D. Brees: 23-30, 369 yds, 4 TDs
J. Flacco: 28-43, 385 yds, 3 sacks, 2 TDs
B. Favre: 21-29, 278 yds, 3 sacks, 3 TDs

The Bad:

T. Edwards/R. Fitzpatrick: 15-30, 159 yds, 1 sack, 1 TD
D. McNabb: 22-46, 269 yds, 6 sacks
M. Hasselbeck: 10-29, 112 yds, 5 sacks, 1 INT
D. Anderson: 9-24, 122 yds, 2 sacks, 1 TD, 1 INT; 1 rush, -1 yds, 2 fumbles

The Ugly:

J. Campbell/T. Collins: 15-30, 164 yds, 3 sacks, 1 INT
D. Culpepper/D. Stanton: 11-25, 105 yds, 5 sacks, 3 INTs
J. Delhomme: 9-17, 65 yds, 1 sack, 1 TD, 2 INTs
K. Collins/V. Young: 2-14, -7 yds, 2 INTs; 5 rush, -2 yds, 1 fumble
M. Sanchez: 10-29, 119 yds, 2 sacks, 5 INTs

It should be noted that Jamarcus Russell is not newsworthy this week. He has for once in his career, hidden himself in "The Mediocre." IMO, this is more shocking than Tom Brady throwing 5 touchdowns in a quarter.

Wow, I'm excited to see the weekly picks roster this week. I'm pretty sure that this is the most fucked up week this year, picks-wise.

To be fair, Eli had a heel injury from 2 weeks ago. The only reason the Giants won last week was because Eli threw 10 passes. He was just the middle man between the center and the running back. But this week he was needed to throw, and he couldn't do it.

And lucky me I didn't have the Titans defense

59-0? Really? I don't think that the Raiders ever sucked that much.

Top Five Performances Of The Day (RB):

1. Maurice Jones-Drew - 33 rush, 133 yds, 4.0 YPC, 3 rush TD, 1 fumble; 5 rec, 45 yds, 9.0 YPC, 1 fumble, basically won the game for St. Louis (with the help of Josh Scobee's foot)

2. Ray Rice - 10 rush, 77 yds, 7.7 YPC, 2 TDs; 10 rec, 117 yds, 11.7 YPC, long of 63 yds

3. Panthers' Rushing Attack:

Total - 47 rush, 262 yds, 3 TDs, 1 fumble; 2 rec, 20 yds (~1/3 of Delhomme's total passing)
D. Williams - 30 rush, 152 yds, 5.1 YPC, 2 TDs; 2 rec, 20 yds
J. Stewart - 17 rush, 110 yds, 6.5 YPC, 1 TD, 1 fumble

4. Thomas Jones - 22 rush, 210 yds, 9.5 YPC, 1 TD, long of 71 yds; 2 rec, 17 yds

5. Laurence Maroney - 16 rush, 123 yds, 7.7 YPC, 1 TD, long of 45 yds; 3 rec, 10 yds

Top Five Performances Of The Day (WR/TE):

1. NE's Big Two:

Moss - 8 rec, 129 yds, 16.1 YPC, 3 TDs
Welker - 10 rec, 150 yds, 15.0 YPC, 2 TDs
Total - 18 rec, 279 yds, 5 TDs
Also, that flea-flicker from Brady to Moss was just ridiculous. Same with the Welker wide-open toss. Highlights of that game are like watching people play Madden.

2. Marques Colston - 8 rec, 166 yds, 20.8 YPC, 1 TD, long of 40 yds

3. Owen Daniels - 7 rec, 78 yds, 11.1 YPC, 2 TDs, including this TD catch.

4. Zach Miller - 6 rec, 139 yds, 23.2 YPC, 1 TD, long of 86 yds (longest TD play in 25 years by Raiders, GW-TD)

5. Pittsburgh's Big Three:

H. Ward - 8 rec, 159 yds, 19.9 YPC, 1 TD, long of 59 yds
S. Holmes - 5 rec, 104 yds, 20.8 YPC, long of 41 yds
H. Miller - 5 rec, 80 yds, 16.0 YPC, 1 TD
Total - 18 rec, 343 yds, 2 TDs

Ten Biggest Disappointments Of The Day:

1. Mark Sanchez - 5 INTs and a fumble? Against the Bills? Oof. This game should have been a gimme, but Sanchez's play kept the Bills in the game and ultimately won it for them with Sanchez's OT pick.

2. Kerry Collins - 2 completions, a pick, and -7 yards. I didn't think anyone could have performed worse than Derek Anderson did last week with 23 passing yards, but Kerry did it. If it's any consolation, Vince Young was no better, 0-2 with an INT of his own.

3. Titans' Defense - 59 points, shut out, worst loss in franchise history and the most lopsided victory in 50something years. 'Nuff said.

4. Donovan McNabb (Eagles o-line) - Six sacks and no TDs against Oakland's D is not what anyone saw coming. Jason Peters got taken out of the game with an injury, adding to an already porous O-Line, but this game was just sad to watch, and I'm a Raiders fan. Donovan was getting treated like a sack of potatoes out there.

5. Washington Redskins (Campbell/Collins/Zorn) - Played the winless Lions and lost. Played the winless Panthers and lost. Played the winless Chiefs and lost. Benched their starting QB for a dink-and-dunk passer, who proceeds to get sacked for a safety to ice the game. Zorn got play-calling duties stripped of him, but let's be real here...the man is out as a coach by the time their bye week rolls around.

6. Seattle's Passing Game - Apparently last week's 4-TD showing was an anomaly for Hasselbeck & Co. Matt had 112 yards, Houshmanzadeh got basically shut down, and they managed 3 points against Arizona's well-known-for-suckiness pass defense.

7. Jake Delhomme - 65 passing yards and 2 picks against the Bucs defense? This isn't 2002. Jake is about toast now with 10 picks in 5 games, but credit to Carolina for turning a Cardinals backup QB into a franchise QB that took them to the Super Bowl. However, it's time to get a new QB and start grooming him. And Matt Moore is not the answer. We both know that.

8. Steven Haukscha - Hate to have to put him this high, given the degree of difficulty of a 44-yard kick, but he was brought in to replace Matt Stover for a reason. He had the distance, not the accuracy this game, but at the same time he was in a dome. No wind, just noise to deal with. Story of the Ravens' season right now, heartbreaking losses. a 6-0 team that is 3-3. It's a shame.

9. Seattle's Running Game - A corps of Julius Jones, Justin Forsett and Edgerrin James is supposed to be bad, but this was just shameful. A look:

Jones - 5 rush, 5 yds, 1.0 YPC, long of 5 yds
Forsett - 2 rush, 4 yds, 2.0 YPC, long of 5 yds
James - 3 rush, 3 yds, 1.0 YPC, long of 4 yds
Hasselbeck - 1 rush, 2 yds, 2.0 YPC, 1 fumble
TOTAL - 11 carries, 14 yds, 1.3 YPC, 1 fumble

10. Giants' Defense - This long-vaunted, regaled unit shut down Oakland last week, only allowing seven points, all seven of which were accidental from the Michael Bush rushing TD after a muffed punt return. This week, Drew Brees torched them for roughly three times the amount of passing yardage they had allowed on average coming into this week, and almost four times the total points allowed by the Giants per game. Seven different Saints scored TDs (Colston, Robert Meachem, Jeremy Shockey, Lance Moore, Reggie Bush, Mike Bell, Heath Evans) and the Giants' D suddenly looks far less intimidating than it did on Saturday.

The Patriots winning over the Titans and running up the score by continuously passing, even while being up by 30+ points was like watching a group of full grown men beating up a baby and not stopping.

First they do some well aimed stomps at the head (Randy Moss TD 1)

Then one of the guys lifts the baby up and slams the babies back over his knee, effectively breaking its spine. (Randy Moss TD 2)

After that, they swing the babies head against the wall. (Kevin Faulk TD)

Then one man stomps straight down on the babies stomach and crushes the babies lower body with his boot completely. (Wes Welker TD 1)

As the baby lies there twitching in unspeakable agony, the men pull out shotguns and each take a shot point blank at the babies face. (Wes Welker TD 2)

And finally, the men proceed to stomp on the bits and pieces that are left of the baby, making blood fly every where around their pants and boots. (Randy Moss TD 3)

All throughout this, another group of people all across the country is watching this and they all say "Why are you doing this? Clearly the baby has had enough! You should stop this now!"

And the group of men, and the people who support them say "There's nothing wrong with what we've done! You're just jealous of our superior baby killing skills! It's necessary to do everything we did to it!" That group of men then go off to drink Sam Adams.

I don't see anything wrong with what the Patriots did. They scored all of their points in the first 3 quarters, so its not like they tacked a few on at the end just for good measure. They also pulled Brady from the game somewhat promptly. I don't think they really ran up the score, most of their points were scored in the first half and it's a delicate judgment call in football when you should turn off the jets and stop pouring it on; say they pulled Brady when they went up 38-0 and became content with running futile draw plays over and over again, to dwindle the clock as fast as possible. That was still the second quarter, there would be plenty of time for the Titans to get a few lucky breaks, crawl back into the game and end up stealing it, because once you shut down your offense like that it's tough to get it started again. No one wants to be that guy.

Also, what the fuck is up with kickers this year? I realize being counted on to consistently hit field goals is a tough gig, but it's literally all you do. Your entire life's work is to boot a ball through uprights. You shouldn't be in the NFL if 45 yard and under field goals aren't more or less automatic 9/10 times.

brag - opponent in some fantasy league had brady and welker and second most points in the league this week and still lost

I don't see anything wrong with it. My view is no matter how much you are ahead you give you keep your starting team in for one drive or two after the half. If the other team doesn't score a touchdown at all then it's back ups for the rest of the game. Now of course if Brady was hurt then we would all be making a big deal about it.
