NFL Week 10: Where do we stand?

Where we stand is there is some f'ed up stuff going on.


Which of the following statements would you have agreed with after the ninth week of the season?


- The Ravens would be in first place
- The Titans would be undefeated
- The Jets would be in first place
- The Miami Dolphins would be over .500
- The Jax Jaguars would be under .500
- The Chargers would be under .500 and would have lost to Carolina and Miami (and beat KC by one)

FYI That's only the AFC..I know, insane...moving on...


- the 49ers/Seahawks/Rams would be a combined 6-21
- Carolina would be 7-2
- THE FALCONS WOULD BE 6-3
- The Dallas Cowboys would be 5-4
- Every team in the NFC East would be over .500


That's a pretty intense list of stats right there and ALL of them are true. Insane to think about that right?


Current Statistical Surprises:


- Kurt Warner is second in the league in passing yards
- The Saints/Broncos/Texans are all in the top five team offenses
- The Redskins has a top five defense (lowest sack total in league last year)
- Joey Porter is leading the league in sacks


This shit is unreal. Think about the previous 15 statements and if you could have guessed five of those you should be working for ESPN. It's unbelievable what has happened this year, it's like Dumb and Dumber got remade and Sea Bass (unknowingly played by hockey superstar Cam Neely) stole the show and won an Oscar for best supporting author.


So that being said, who cares, what's going to continue to happen?


I give you the continuing/non-continuing trends of the "Oh-So-Gay" 2008-2009 NFL Season:


LEGIT:


TENNESSEE TITANS - This team is legit. The only thing that can end this string of wins is a a Kerry Collins injury or a MAJOR line injury. The Titans defense is legit. They have an intense front seven (minus Jevon Kearse) and have a surprisingly solid secondary. They can run, they are physical, they can pass when a team stops the run (Bears game), watch out New England, you will be playing them in the playoffs.


CARDINALS -Their defense is average but it doesn't matter, these guys score a bagillion points every game and you can't stop them. They realized a fatal flaw in their offense by benching Edgerrin James and Warner has been a surprising success. When's the last time you could start three receivers from the same team in fantasy and still potentially score 45 points? Answer, cardinals...Breaston, Fitz, Boldin. This team can beat anyone, anytime, anywhere.



Ravens - I know this seems crazy, but the bottom line is they have a run based offense and a solid defense. That's almost an automatic playoff bid if you stay healthy. Bad thing to say for the Steelers (who are going to make the playoffs anyways, as either a division winner or a division winner) this team can run the ball down your throat and they can knock your fullback into the backfield on any given play, not a good combination to play against.


The Lions: They Suck, two wins, tops.


Giants - I haven't seen a team be this dominant in quite sometime. They have a SOLID rush, a solid pass D, a solid run D = SOLID Defense. They have an unreal run offense, and a surprisingly stellar pass offense...watch out, DEEP playoff run coming.


NOT LEGIT:


THE JETS - COME THE F ON. The Jets defense blows. The first time they played the Pats they lost, the second time they barely beat them (granted away) and allowed Cassell to throw 3 TD passes. Brett Favre is past his prime and is capable of leading a team to the playoffs, but is not capable of leading a team past the Pats. This would be a different scenario if they didn't have mangina as their coach, but the sad thing is they do. They are not impressive on either side of the ball and they will mess this lead up, somehow.


BROOOOOOOOOOOONCOS - HA. Worst defense in the NFL. Well not legitimately, they are 29/32, but they are giving up 21 points a game and have the second worst ratio of TO per game.. Let's be honest, Mike Shanahan is an offensive genius, but he does not light the candle on the defensive side of the ball. This team can put up 40-50 points on any given night against ANY given defense, but the problem is they can do the same thing on D, against any team HOME OR AWAY. Don't plan on seeing this team in the playoffs.


THE EAGLES: I'm sorry it's just not happening this year birds fans, we have a tough conference and a knack for losing games in the last two minutes. Crazy stats for people who think I'm an idiot...last 11 games that the Eagles played which were decided by less than 7 points (0-11) last 11 prime time games the Eagles have played in, (2-9). Scary stats eh. The sad thing is, our city might have lost our coach in the last game against the Giants. 2:54 to go at your own 20 yard line, down 4, you're an Eagles fan...do you expect to score? FUCK NO. Andy Reid (if you listen to Philly radio stations) has a knack for losing games in the last two minutes. It's unreal how he unravels in the last two, it's almost like he means to.


LAST GAME: Here's a run down of how the last game ended


second down seven to go: QB Scramble 5yds.

third down two to go (2:24 to go) : D Mac is tired and calls a huddle because he feels like 24 seconds is too long to get another play in and calls a huddle..WTF ^(*&%(^&)$)(&)%&)($*)($*$#@@@@


a sweep is called to the right side and Westbrook is short by two yards


fourth and two to go (1:45 to go) right tackle run, and an embarrassing STUFF right side


ANDY REID, I HATE YOU


THINGS I'M CONFUSED BY:


COLTS: WHAT THE F Colts? I don't understand...are you old? Are you sleeping? Are you still good? Would you be better with Bob Sanders infinitely on the DL? I'm so confused, you could make the playoffs...get your shit together.


That, my friends, is all I can say about week 10...word.
