1st and 10 (Week 3)

thoughts from Week 2

- Roy Williams, shut the fuck up.
- Jags blank Steelers, 0-9. i didn't watch the game, but the revered TMQ states that it was an exciting one. this then reminds of one of my games in Madden 07, where i played the Texans (yecch) against the Packers (yecch). David Carr sucked (or maybe its just me throwing a lot of INTs)! the Pack spotted us a 9-0 lead into the 3rd quarter. then i just pounded Domanick Davis at them (out for season in real life), and managed to get a TD. not to mention the Houston defense (no thanks to Super Mario) kept stopping the Pack offense as well, and not letting them get a TD. a 45 yd Kris Brown FG and several clock-eating runs later, i won ugly, 10-9. now i learned to appreciate a low-scoring game. Carr's postgame QB rating: 1.1. ugh.
- Bucs, Fins, 'Skins, Panthers, all 0-2. whudathunk?
- that fumble return TD by Tim Carter? sheer luck. as in.
- and they won despite Eli being sacked 8 times. that's David Carr-like.
- speaking of sacks, here's the cream; Baltimore, Chicago, Buffalo, Philly, Dallas, and Frisco(!) - all got more than 5.
- Chad Pennington, you teaser.
- the master is still The Master.
- if Peyton (Manning The Elder) can hang 43 on a team in the Playoffs, i'd reconsider my respect for him
- speaking of whom, his spinmeisters are really working overtime to get my respect (well, sometimes its funny and it works)
- and doesn't he have this ridiculously large neck?
- still celebrating: fantasy football owners who had 49er RB Frank Gore
- Joe Buck still looks every bit the tightass he is - how long till Terry and Howie stop putting up with him? can we have a WWE-like skit where Howie clotheslines him, then Terry whacks him with a chair? and then he'll drag himself to the cameras and scream "that's disgusting, shameless behavior!!!"
