Sigh....NFL, Week 3
I'm less enthusiastic to do the NFL post this week. I didn't see as much football today; it's grading season, and the essays are rolling in. But I made sure to be in front of the TV for the late game. Sigh. My Steelers looked pretty innefectual in their 23-20 loss at home against the Patties. The loss could have been worse, if not for a long touchdown to Hines Ward and a series of turnovers by Brady and the boys. Ben, in particular, seemed to lose confidence in the 2nd half before the final game-tying drive. The game wasn't pretty on either side, really; we'll have to see what happens when (it seems inevitable) the two teams meet at in the playoffs.
In the mean time, I raise my Yuengling to you, Massachusetts Chris.
My favorite stat of the game: Pats CB Chad Scott, a former 1st-round draft choice of the Steelers, was called for 2 pass interference penalties, for a total of 48 yards.
The Steelers' young corners, Ricardo Colclough and Ike Taylor, look great.
The Stink List:
Packers, 0-3. Poor Favre.
Cardinals, who lost Kurt Warner to a groin injury. He was replaced by...it doesn't matter. Some joker. Say hello, Matt Leinart. (Did you know that Leinart is taking only one class this semester? But he's teaching a master class in scoring with chicks.)
San Francisco, 1-2: Can't wait to see this team duke it out with the Cards twice this year.
Ravens, just for good measure.
The Scary List:
Bengals, 3-0 and atop the AFC Central.
Colts, 3-0: But why didn't they score against the Browns? Are they only scoring when they need to now?
Back to normal: Minnesota started its season this week with a pounding of poor New Orleans. Kyle Orton threw 5 INTs in a big, ugly loss. The Jests lost late. The Jags played tough. The Rams out-slopped the Titans for a home win.
Not normal list: Eli threw for 350 and lost. Miami won, beating the team who beat the Patties last week.
Rooks: Ronnie Brown had 100. Carnell Williams had 150. Damn.
I have high hopes for the Chefs/Broncos MNF game: this, as Groundskeeper Willie said, is the test for the Chief's D. And I think they'll produce, especially given Jake Plummer's all-around suckitude.
Cheers.
