There are a LOT of things to digest after week three’s NFL action. The most glaring observation of the week in my eyes is the amount of BAD teams lining up each week. I can’t remember when there were this many uncompetitive teams playing in a single season. Read MoreTampa Bay, St. Louis, Washington, Oakland, and Cleveland are not very good football teams. Detroit and Kansas City aren’t far behind either. I am starting to think about how many wins the bottom five teams might have collectively…and I’m struggling to give them more than eleven wins. You might see a team win two games and get the 5th pick in the draft if coaches don’t turn things around. Or are those new coaches the ones responsible for the pathetic outings?
I Wonder
If you ever doubted what the most important position in football is, take a look above. See a few leaky QB situations? I do and I wonder if we might see a little bit of a carousel in the coming weeks. Poor play and injuries should have a few quarterbacks on the market. Derrick Anderson, Byron Leftwich, Tyler Thigpen anybody?
No Huddle
The Jets are for real and they haven’t even hit their stride offensively. My gut says Thomas Jones is in full decline but my brain says it’s way too early to throw in the towel on the guy.
The Bears needed another two missed field goals to win. Yikes! The Bucs can’t tackle and that’s kind of a big part of playing football. I hope you chose the under. People are talking about Brett Favre…and it’s about throwing a touchdown pass? What is this world coming to? Truly a great play, I just can’t believe the 49ers let it happen.
Are the Broncos for real? That win against Cincy is looking better and better. Raise your hand if you played against Drew Brees? You might want to consider PowerBall this week. If you are a commissioner and haven’t collected league fees from the owners of Clinton Portis, Matt Forte or Ladanian Tomlinson you might want to move that up the “to do” list. Ok McNabb owners, now what? You’ve managed solid production from Kevin Kolb but Philly has a bye week so it’s time to turn to plan C. Choose wisely.
Bears Corner
Chicago’s fate always seems to be determined by their opponent and that’s not a good thing. Sure they have played well enough the past two weeks to win, but they have yet to go out and win a football game. Week one they lost the game, weeks two and three their opponents lost the game. Needless to say I’m an unimpressed Bears fan who is hoping we can improve on the fly.
