- In keeping with the throw-back theme, I'm returning to my origional format.
- And then there was one.
- Kansas City Chiefs the only unbeaten team in the league after four weeks. Whodathunk it?
- Do Titan receiver Kenny Britt’s hands smell of Swiss cheese on a cool fall afternoon?
- Do Jason Avante’s also?
- Guys, you’re paid to make catches when games are on the line.
- There’s light at the end of the tunnel for the Lions. Just make sure it’s not a DDOT bus flashing high beams at midnight.
- Matthew Stafford can’t get back and too soon.
- Calvin Johnson will catch it if it’s thrown to him.
- Charles Woodson head to the end zone and to Canton.
- Aaron Rodgers was lazer sharp. Then again, Annie Oakley would hit her target against the Lions secondary.
- T.O. gets 222 yards and 10 catches and the Bengals still lose.
- He waves bye-bye to Isaac Bruce in most career yardage as a receiver.
- And now for the fake press conference where he expresses more concerns about the teaming losing the game.
- This after him complaining in previous weeks he’s been open but not getting the ball.
- If the Bengals want to go far, they’d better give it more to Cedric Benson and not T.O. or Ochicinco.
- Did Jason Garrett somehow get hired as Cincy’s offense coordinator and there was no official announcement?
- Browns corner back Eric Wright was in the wrong place too many times Sunday.
- Bells will be ringing, for Jordan Shipley.
- Carson Palmer is just a shell of himself.
- Palmer feels the wROTH of Matt.
- Indy has its Peyton and the Browns have theirs (Peyton Hillis.)
- Seneca Wallace, Michael Vick Jr., minus the whole cruelty to dogs thing.
- Ohio belongs to Cleveland, for now.
- He may be quarterback for a team in the Big Apple, but Mark Sanchez has cut down on the turnovers.
- No interceptions since the beginning of the season?
- Keep laying this way and your team might back up your coach’s pre-season boast.
- Maybe Braylon Edwards needs to get stopped for DUI more often.
- Dustin Keller is a straight up baller.
- Ponce De Leon, thy 21st Century name is LaDainian Tomlinson.
- LT rediscovers that pep in his step.
- Jets aren’t known for a ground stampeded (both Shonne Green and LT over 100 yards.)
- Buffalos are but not this Bills team.
- Isn’t it a little too early for cough medicine even in Buffalo, Marshawn?
- The 0-4 Bills were actually trash talking?
- It’s up it’s … GOOD!
- Atlanta’s kicker Matt “Money” Bryant for the win, again.
- Get down, Nate! Get down, Nate! Get down!
- The difference between winning and losing often comes down to boneheaded decisions.
- By now, a corner intercepting a ball that virtually assures a victory should know to take a knee and not pad his stats.
- Nice pick though.
- Finally, a Vernon Davis sighting.
- Sign that man (Taylor Mayes) as a receiver.
- Do you feel sorry for Mike Singletary?
- I often wonder how different Alex Smith’s career might be if he had the opportunity to sit and learn like Aaron Rodgers.
- Gotta love the wrist-slapping punishments handed out by teams.
- Gary Kubiak’s not going to jeopardize his job trying to prove a moral point.
- One half good enough of a suspension for Arian Foster.
- Another violent display by the Arian Nation. His victim: The Oakland Raiders defense.
- How many times between Sunday and now do you think the Raiders receiver who dropped two critical passes has heard “Murphy’s Law”?
- (Darren) McFadden (without Whitehead): “Aint no stopping us now. We’re on the move.”
- Brad Gradkowski needs to get a feel for the pass rush.
- “My Name is Earl” Thomas introduces himself to Sam Bradford. Only once, though.
- You know your secondary is slow or being blocked out of the stadium when a back with a tender groin rips off a 30-yard run.
- Pete Carroll looked like the rookie, Bradford the veteran.
- I thought it was a bad idea for the Rams to begin the season with Bradford as the starter. I was wrong.
- Kid is getting better each week.
- That fake field goal by Seattle was doomed before it began.
- Stevie Wonder could tell what was coming.
- Josh Scobee keeps the Jags and Jack Del Rio’s tenure alive and kicking.
- Special teams MVP for week 4. Hands (and legs) down.
- The quarterback option play is a safety occupation hazard for most quarterbacks but it worked for David Garrard.
- Jags get back to a balance offense feeding the ball to Maurice Jones-Drew.
- Colts defense back Kelvin Heywood won’t get too many gifts like Sundays to close out a game.
- Reggie Wayne did everything but get into the end zone.
- Shawn Phillips puts in his bid for defensive player of the week with four sacks and an interception return for a touchdown.
- Open the Gates and let the flood begin.
- Larry Fitzpatrick made ordinary by awful quarterback play.
- The Cardinals may be in line for Jake Locker or Ryan Mallet.
- Derek Anderson is not the answer.
- How bad was Matt Leinart he couldn’t beat out Anderson?
- So Carolina’s backs weren’t on injured reserve.
- Almost, not good enough.
- The game is starting to take its toll on Panthers’ Steve Smith.
- Saints changed kickers just in time.
- Out of retirement (home) and into role as winning kicker. That’s John Carney.
- Philly fans have a nasty reputation, but kudos for them putting it on hold to cheer Donovan McNabb’s return.
- Of course, they cheered when he skipped a few passes off the turf.
- So much for the McNabb-Vick battle.
- McNabb only completed 8 passes and Vick became the turkey in a Commander sandwich.It was bound to happen.
- Vick is elusive, but he’s not built to take a pounding, which is inevitable with his style of play.
- Stupid decision by McNabb to run out of bounds after picking up the first down close to the end of the game.
- The Commanders Torain made Nat Allen taste turf on his romp to the end zone.
- DeSean Jackson knows how to preserve his body from big hits.
- Like Tory Holt, he gets down and gets down fast.
- The booth review after L. McCoy’s non-touchdown took too long.
- Skins will stay in the hunt for the NFC East title as long as they emphasis the running game with a strong offensive line.
- Kyle Orton not ready to relinquish his spot to the two upstarts under him.
- He passed the Broncos to victory.
- Titans kept knocking him down (six sacks), and he kept getting up.
- Did I read that right, Lawrence Maroney, 11 rushes for 5 yards?
- Look up underrated and you’ll see Eddie Royal’s name.
- Josh McDaniels leaves too many points on the field by eschewing the field goal and going for the first down.
- There’s a fine line between guts and stupidity.
- Rob Bironas, another kicker who displayed a canon for a leg Sunday.
- Special teams weren’t all that special for the Titans.
- The New York Sack Exchange was open for business Sunday night.
- Jay Cutler simply didn’t know what to do.
- There’s a fine line between courage in the pocket and slow to pull the trigger.
- Where was the Chicago running game?
- Mike Martz: a quarterback’s best friend and worst enemy.
- The Bears must have taken stripping lessons from hookers. They do it well.
- Brandon Jacobs didn’t want none of Anthony Adams.
- Antwan Randle-El, back where he belongs.
- Willis McGahee froze James Farrior, James Harrison froze McGahee.
- Pittsburgh had a need for Jeff Reed, and he didn’t deliver with three missed field goals.
- T.J. Housmanzadeh, back tormenting the Steelers.
- Joe Flacco takes a step forward to being a quarterback who can deliver when time is winding down.
- The division will start to really heat up once Big Ben gets back.
