Week 5 started with a sleeper and ended with a laugher.
TNF was pretty awful this week when the rams took on the 4-0 Arizona Cardinals. And then Arizona turned 4-1, and man was it boring. In what some people might call a "defensive" game the Rams and Cards put everyone to sleep. The only entertaining part was seeing Kevin Kolb get hit time and time again. Rams win 17-3.
Now on to better more entertaining games. The Colts/Packers game was one of the most fun games to watch this year. Beside the last minute finish to the game. It was the heart of a colts team driven but their coach Chuck Pagano who was diagnosed with leukaemia last week and will not be with the team for the next 6 weeks at least. The colts d held their own against a packers offence that was shorthanded yes but still has plenty of talent on it to put up tons of points. The colts offence lead by rookie Andrew Luck stunned the packers when they drove down the field last minute to win the game. Reggie Wayne played like a beat with 212 yds receiving which was 18 yds shy of what Mark Sanchez threw for this week. Colts may have turned things around a lot sooner than people expected. Colts win 30-27.
The Giants/Browns game probably should have been irrelevant to this week. But it showed the weakness the Giants have. They are a slow starting team that is prone to turnovers (kinda like that other NY team). With the Browns jumping out to a 14-0 lead the Giants really should have lost this game. If they were playing a real team they would but luckily for them they were playing the Browns. Giants win 41-27.
Now the only reason i am mentioning the Steelers/Eagles game is because Michael Vick has to be the most overrated player in the league. He fumbled 4 times Sunday, he only lost 2 of them luckily for him or eagles fans probably would have been losing their minds on Monday. Here is a guy who said when he needs to he takes care of the ball. I'm pretty sure you need to take care of that thing every time you have it you clown. The steelers were a better team all around so they won 16-14.
Falcons/Redskins was an interesting one. Played in Washington should have levelled the playing field for the Skins'. And it did for the most part but ATL was just too much. Side note on this game is that RG3 will be sliding for an hr a day in practice this week because he got his brain rattled and left the game with a concussion, can anyone say Mike Vick rd 2. Thankfully for Skins fans Kirk Cousins is a very solid replacement. Falcons win 24-17.
Over in New England the Pats showed why people have so much faith in them this year. They got up on a good Broncos team early and never looked back. The run game was excellent again, Brady ran the no huddle to perfection, and the D played really well but let up at the end of the game which hopefully doesn't become a trend. Pats are the second best team in the AFC and will continue to show that. Patriots win 31-21.
Finally MNF, I love when the Jets are on national TV especially this yr. First of when fans boo the QB in favour of a guy who showed again last night he can't throw the ball you are showing us why no one likes you or your team. Second the J.E.T.S just suck something fierce this year and as a pats fan i love seeing them struggle. O ya and that other team who played is pretty good as well. The Texans are just overall a very good team, the potential loss of Brian Cushing for the year could leave a huge hole in the middle of the field but this is a good team that has a better coaching staff so they will figure something out. JJ Watt is making a case for DPOY and Arian Foster/Matt Schaub are running that offence perfectly. Texans win 23-17.
Other winners this week included Dolpins, Ravens, Seahawks, Bears, Vikings, Niners, Saints. Also big congrats to Drew Brees who broke Johnny Unitas consecutive games with a TD pass record as he threw one in his 48th straight game. Guys a class act i hope the streak goes on.
