Sep 08Thoughts on the NFL’s Week 3 (ongoing).
After suffering a pretty gruesome-looking knee-to-the-head injury during the Ravens’ win over Cleveland, it looks like safety Dawan Landry is going to be ok.
If Martin Gramatica didn’t suck, the Saints would’ve had a pretty nice win at Denver. But he does.
How ’bout them Iggles? As long as Donovan stays healthy (major, major if), they can probably hang with just about anyone.
Didn’t watch it, but I got burned by Peyton’s last-second comeback last week, so I bet on him this week. And the sans-Sanders defense let the Jags win it.
So far, Cowboys-Packers is a pretty damn good game. As I say that, Aaron Rodgers throws a 50-yd strike to Donald Driver. And then the Green Bay offense rolls over, poops itself and dies with less than 10yds to go. And the Cowboys roll.
From certain angles, Aaron Rodgers looks like Ryan from The Office. Maybe it’s those dreamy blue eyes?
Update: The Cowboys have run that pump-fake-delayed-handoff play about thirty times in the second half. And it nearly always works. Maybe make a note of that, Packer coaches. Also, Jason Witten is just killing the Packers. They just cannot cover him.
Leftover note from Iowa’s 21-20 loss at Pittsburgh yesterday, because I am still a little grumpy about it: Ok, so there’s about six minutes left in the game, you’ve already run for 160 yds or so, and your quarterback has been pretty damn bad. In order to score without leaving time for a comeback, you’d want to run the ball a few times, right? Not throw it 80 times straight? I thought so.
