A great Oregon-Purdue game + OSU getting their A-holes whooped + One of the best MNF games ever + the VY-less Titans putting a butt-kicking on a pride-less Bengals team.
As you can probably tell from my updates on the last post, inspired my a random sighting of a USC-Song Girl buttocks shot, I made a huge USC bet to cover all of my Saturday college football bets and ended up coming out on top. Only to make two bets on the NFL to have one thrown by Hurricane god-damn Ike and it's 800 MPH winds in Cleveland and the other to New Orleans not being able to play defense.
All in all, a pretty decent week for me.
ANYWHO, what we've learned in the NFL this week:
Buffalo is LEGIT - I told you guys early in the season, this team is really, really, really good. I said "they can contend for the wild card in the AFC." Well, after a big win IN JAX, they look like a real contender. The key to this whole game was their defense. They were all over Garrard all day, and were run-blitzing the hell out of a depleted Jags line.
Jags are in trouble - 98 yards rushing...98!
This was a team last year that would bust off numerous runs of 20+ every single game, from both RB's. Their longest run of the day was 13 yards and the rushing attempts breakdown was 14-7 in favor of Taylor. I don't know what the F is going through Del Rio's head...GIVE THE BOWLING BALL THE BALL...
YOU HAVE NO RECEIVERS, stop passing the ball unless they put eight in the box and you set up play action. If you're a Jags fan, don't give me the Matt Jones story...white receivers not named Wes Welker or Ed McAffrey don't count....you need to run, you're a running team, start running.
Jay Cutler has a CANON - All I saw on Sunday were RIDICULOUS passes from Cutler. Passes that had the smallest windows I've really seen a QB try to throw into, other than Manning...the Peyton variety, not his idiot brother. It was almost like he was making pre-snap reads and throwing the ball so hard that it was impossible for CB's to make a play on the ball.
Cromartie, arguably one of the best CB's in the league couldn't make a play all day and was penalized three times because of the passes he was throwing to Marshall.
Marshall is a top five receiver - Anyone who watched this game knows that it was obvious they were throwing him the ball every time he caught it. The CB's just couldn't do anything. Cutler threw the ball up where only Marshall could get it, and he did, almost every time. His stats from Sunday... 18 catches for 166 yards and a TD. FILTHY. Welcome back Marsh.
Indy is fine - If Peyton stops trying to throw to Marvin Harrison. Yes, they almost, and should have, lost to the Vikings. Yes they are banged up on the O-Line. All that is completely fine though. Why? Peyton is back ladies and gents. Peyton put together a monster 4th quarter drive to lead his team to victory and oh my did he look good. There were NO signs of injury, his head was on his shoulders, he looks like the Peyton of old...welcome back.
Brett Who? - Alright, I know that the Packers played the Lions. My god they suck by the way. The bottom line is, his passes were crisp and right on the money ALL DAY. They fell asleep in the beginning of the second half and almost let D-troit back in it, but then they woke up and ran away with it. The Packers are winning the NFC North...called it three weeks ago.
Washington finally figured out its' offense - This team is going to be dangerous from here on out. about half way through the third quarter on Sunday, it clicked...to the tune of 20 points. Campbell started hitting short routes, Portis was hitting holes hard and when the D came up to stop him, Campbell threw it over their heads...twice. This team could have just been determined to win the game at home...but I think otherwise. Watch out for this team.

It's all a matter of time before Aaron Rodgers stumbles and true packers fans will come crawling back beggin for that "drama queen" to come back once again.
If he performs ok in the next two weeks and then gets back on it against Atlanta in week 5...who knows?
He plays Chicago twice after that...their schedule doesn't bring up a lot of tough Defenses...and don't say Minnesota because he only had 4 incomplete passes against them the first time he played them
Dear Iversen,
Touche
The Packers do have a relatively easy schedule this year and the NFC North is an absolute joke it seems like. Oh well, at least I know where my true allegiance lies.
Week 4?
Aaron Rodgers:
or
Brett Favre:
Permission to laugh in Packer fans faces at how poorly their "goddess" Aaron Rodgers played, and at how dominating Brett Favre looked over in the meadowlands?
In Week 4 I would have picked Farvrah because he's playing a shitty defense...well he's got a better match up. Rodgers played like a true balone...
