Around The NFL -- Week 4

[General_Failure]

It's both.

[SunMo]

Jesus.  Watch the NE/CIN highlights.  Reche Caldwell got murdered. 

yeah, and a penalty was called.  just further wussification of the NFL.

[General_Failure]

Chicago is moidarizing the Seahawks.

[QB Eagles]

Chicago is moidarizing the Seahawks.

Yeah, and they're beating them too.

[cj2112]

I'm still not that impressed by the Bears.  They look good tonight but Seattle is obviously lousy without Alexander.  Chicago does have good receivers and their size and speed would certainly pose an enormous challenge for our feeble secondary. Chicago always seems like that team that puts up a gaudy record in the regular season but will get their teeth kicked in once the playoffs roll around.

[Beermonkey]

Skins win..
Colts win...
Cowboys win..
Panthers win..
Falcons win..

It's like an unholy alignment of stars is bringing forth the dark ones. Not a good football Sunday for me. 

Plus whoever wins tonight will be 4-0 and stay at least a game up on the Eagles...

At this point, I'd be happy to just see them alive in the NFCE. Until I see them excel against some good teams, I'm not even thinking about the NFC as a whole.

[QB Eagles]

This half, the Seahawks haven't even put up the pretense of attempting to win. They've been punting it away on every 4th down, including 4th and 1. I can see TMQ bitching about it already.

[The BIGSTUD]

Other than the first half last week the Seahawks haven't been impressive at all. Didn't score a TD in week one and didn't dominate the Cardinals nearly enough in week 2. They are great in the first half against the Giants last week(who isn't?) then stink it up in the second half and get blown out tonight.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Someone tell Eskin to get a haircut. Fruitcake.

Some things of note from week 4:

1. In the Miami/Houston game, Miami went for an onsides kick and #57 on Miami falls on it only to have the ball Michael Lewis on him and get fumbled by a Houston player then fall out of bounds. Well that #57 happened to be ex-Eagle Keith Adams. Good job Bullet.

2. In the same game Mario Williams finally got his first career sack(s). 1.5 sacks for the game on the same defensive series I believe.

3. Mike Furrey on Detroit who had a breakout game played safety for the Rams the last few seasons. He played receiver for them in 2003 though, but was moved to safety. Now he is with Detroit and is again a receiver. Good game.

Week 4 observations:

1. This Raiders team could truly be an 0-16 team. They are that bad. Not only are they bad, but they have terrible coaching and just don't give a shtein about playing.

2. Miami still sucks. Culpepper isn't the only reason either, but he is a huge part of it.

3. The Pats stomped the shtein out of Cinci in every which way. Maroney is a future pro bowler. Brady is Brady. Just when you want to count out the Pats, Brady pulls them back with a win over who I considered the best team in football going into this week.

4. Chicago has a very good defense as expected. Their offense seems to be much improved, but I don't know. I'm not going to buy into it completely yet. Everyone knows they can run the ball though.

5. Dallas sucks.

6. Washington got lucky and still suck.

7. The Jets are much better than I thought they'd be. The Colts had to scratch and claw for every win this season except Houston. Their undefeated status won't last long. They clearly aren't as good as last season. On either side of the ball. Not that they'd contend for a Superbowl anyway. We all know the deal come the playoffs.

8. Jerious Norwood can farging fly.

9. For a 4-0 team, the Ravens aren't impressing me.

[rjs246]

JR Reed just fumbled the kickoff on the goal-line, and then recovered it. Ran straight up the middle, and tripped over his foot at the 13.

This made me laugh. He can't feel his dead foot.

[General_Failure]

How often do you think someone just walks up behind him and barks?

[BigEd76]

The Colts had to scratch and claw for every win this season except Houston. Their undefeated status won't last long. They clearly aren't as good as last season. On either side of the ball. Not that they'd contend for a Superbowl anyway. We all know the deal come the playoffs.

They're missing 1/3 of their starting defense, haven't had a healthy Vinatieri yet, and Addai is not Edgerrin.

[Diomedes]

Addai may not be Edgerrin, but he looks pretty damn good so far.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Addai looks better than Edgerrin.  The OL makes the back.
