Around the NFL -- Week 7

Yeah, yeah... I started this way early. But that's because I have an important question:

Why is Green Bay getting 4 1/2 points against the god-awful Dolphins? Sure, Green Bay sucks too and it's in Miami, but this should be a 1 point or less spread IMO.....

Interesting line indeed. I'd tease that one up for sure...make it +10.5 and its a lock.

Also interesting that Pitt is a 2.5 favorite @ Atlanta.

That's because Atlanta's run defense looked a lot like KC's run defense last week.

QuoteESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Jay Cutler may take over for Jake Plummer as early as Sunday.
The Broncos are 31st in the NFL in scoring, so it's not a huge surprise. Mort says that the Broncos will likely see if Plummer can help beat the Colts and Steelers in their next two games. If that doesn't happen, Cutler could get the call.

QuoteESPN's Sal Palontonio said it looks "increasingly unlikely" Sunday morning that DE John Abraham and DT Rod Coleman will play against the Steelers.
Atlanta is playing at home, but they could have a tough time slowing down Willie Parker and company without their two defensive line stars.

If Coleman and Abraham don't play, Willie Parker and Davenport are gonna run all over that defense/.

PhillyPhreak54 · October 22, 2006, 12:12:06 PM

And after I sign Garrard in the CF FFL ESPN comes back and says Leftwich will start now. Thanks.

kc beat sd on a last second 53 yd fg by lawrence tynes. zesty kickers making long game winning fg's is a recurring theme today.

MDS · October 22, 2006, 04:31:07 PM

Who cares. The taterskins ineveitable assraping at the hands of Indy cant cheer me up.

PhillyPhreak54 · October 22, 2006, 04:34:34 PM

Nothing can cheer me up. NOTHING.

I do hope WAS gets blown out though.

We have to root for Dallas tomorrow night.

REAGOR IN "SERIOUS ACCIDENT"

Colts defensive tackle Montae Reagor has been involved in a "serious accident" on Sunday afternoon. A vehicle slammed into Reagor's SUV, causing it to flip over. He suffered what is being described as a "severe cut" to the head.

Reagor was taken to the hospital. The Colts are scheduled to play the taterskins at 4:15 p.m. EDT.

The Colts already are shorthanded at the position, due to the absence of Corey Simon. And Indy has had much difficulty stopping the run this season.

Am I reading the scoreboard right or did Pit and Atl play to a 38-38 tie?
