Around The NFL -- Week 3

PhillyPhreak54 · September 24, 2006, 10:05:07 AM

Some pretty good games today.

Cincinnati travels to Pittsburgh to try to avenge their loss in the playoffs last year. This game has many sub-plots. Divison rivalry, Kimo von Oelhoefen (despite no longer in PIT) shredding Carson's knee, Cowher mocking the "Who Dey" chant and Lewis showing the video to the team, Chad Johnson vs. Joey Porter smack talking. And the Steelers are coming off of a shutout with Roethlisberger playing poorly.

Washington goes to Houston. The taterskins are reeling and the Texans want to get their first win under Kubiak.

The vaunted Bears defense faces the pedestrian but yet effective Minnesota offense. Both teams are 2-0.

Carolina and Tampa are both 0-2. The Panthers OL is in shambles, Delhomme has looked bad and their defense is not playing well either. The Bucs look even worse especially Chrissy Simms. I am rooting for Tampa because I want Carolina in a deep hole.

Jacksonville goes to Indianapolis. The Colts are missing Bob Sanders, Adam Vinatieri, Corey Simon and Brandon Stokely. They signed Martin Gramatica to kick for them this week. Jacksonville is coming off that great defensive performance against Pittsburgh. Is Matt Jones going to play? Can the Jags get pressure on Peyton?

Did last weeks miracle win really wake up the Giants? Will Shaun Alexander finally get on track? Will the Seattle crowd help cause 11 false starts again this year? Will Jeremy Shockey look like a fool again as Jay Feely misses a FG in OT?

FOX just showed Chad Johnson and Joey Porter shouting at each other during warmups...

I'm looking forward to the Bengals stomping the Steelers. That embarrassment on Monday night last week was the only thing that saved me from a whole week of getting my balls broken about the Eagles game.

7-0 Texans!

No problems for the Steelers. Quick drive for a TD.

Another penalty on the kick return by WAS.

Another handoff to Portis. 4 in a row.

3rd round pick insurance guy TJ Duckett is inactive.

And they handoff to Portis for the 5th straight time - 3rd and long coming up.

Brunell shovel passes to Portis.

He runs forever and ever. All the way down to the 13 yard line. 74 yard play.

PhillyPhreak54 · September 24, 2006, 01:19:01 PM

Betts runs it in for a TD.

7-7 tie ballgame.

That really sucks. I started Johnson in my money league, where points are only given for scores (and the points are determined by distance).
