Around The NFL - Week 9

[Cerevant]

Was it just me, or did the mighty Belichick out-coach himself last night?  WTF was up with the fake reverses, reverse screens, etc...  It was like he was trying to create turnovers...Not that Brady wasn't absolutely suck-tastic either.  Its just really uncomfortable to be sitting there, agreeing with Madden while he's trashing the coaching god of football...

Bellicheck=cocky douche
Manning=over patriots regular season hump, still a choke artist in playoffs

Strahan just went to the locker room with a foot injury.   

Strahan will be on crutches for next week

Giants Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan's worst fears did not come true but he also wasn't given the best of news today.

Strahan told FOXSports.com on the way back from his mid-morning MRI that doctors have told him he'll be on crutches for at least the next week because of sprained ligaments in his right foot.

"They told me anywhere from two to eight weeks, they don't know for sure," said a very somber Strahan. "It's really up to how long it takes to heal. It's not torn but it's similar to the injury that I had as a rookie that kept me out for several weeks."

Strahan has been told to keep off his foot for at least the next week and doctors will take another look at the foot after the Bears game.

"They said the way I got it I was lucky because if I injured it by someone coming down on the back of my heel, that would have been much worse," he said. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see how fast I can come back from this. I want to get back in there as soon as I can."

The Bears-Giants matchup will certainly be without one star due to a foot injury and now we may have to wait a little to see if it will be without another. Brian Urlacher told FOXSports.com that an MRI this morning showed he too has a sprained ligament.

Unlike Strahan, however, Urlacher sounds like he's planning to play in Week 10.

"If it's up to me I will," Urlacher said. "They told me it all depends on how much pain I can take. I can deal with that."

If Osi isn't back Grossman will have a ton of time...

The Giants were lucky to hold on yesterday for the win.  They will LIKELY be 7-4 heading into a home game with Dallas week 13, then the following non-gimme games:

at Carolina
PHILLY
NEW ORLEANS
at Washington


Their schedule isn't really any easier than the Eagles.  If the Eagles continue to falter, however, then that week 13 game could very well decide the division.  The Cowboys' schedule from here on out is relatively friendly:

at Arizona - WIN
INDY - LOSS
TAMPA - WIN
at NYG - ??
NEW ORLEANS - LOSS
at Atlanta - ??
PHILLY - ??
DETROIT - WIN

Again... I think their week 13 matchup will definitely be for first place in the division.

[Feva]

  Good shtein, Ed.

[Munson]

Ha! Colston too? Negative.

Rethink Pennington and McNair all year vs. Grossman two bad games.

You aint getting shtein for Grossman with his showing his zestyness plus Berrian being injured for the next month...unless you throw in something to make the deal sweet.
