So a day before week 7 starts I'm getting my life together here and will put together my thoughts on week 6 for you guys.
The once 4-0 Arizona Cardinals have fallen from the graces and with another loss this week they are now a bombing 4-3. They played the Vikes (5-2) who so far are the surprise team of the year. Adrian Peterson is a freak coming back from his knee, and it looks like he barely lost a step. Christian Ponder is playing very smart this year. Managing the ball well, not turning it over and making the throws that people doubted he could make coming out of the draft. I think he is answering a lot of questions people had about him coming out of Florida State. The game itself was alright never really a doubt that Minnesota would win it but Arizona kept it interesting. Vikes win 21-14.
The Giants and Redskins played a thriller at Metlife Stadium Sunday. Eli and RG3 went back and forth until finally Eli threw the knockout punch, a 77 yd TD pass to Victor Cruz (his only TD pass on the day). RG3 continues to show how mature he is for a rookie QB. Doing lots of damage with his arm and legs. He got huge praise from Justin Tuck after game, which was well earned. I think Cam should take some notes on how this kid is acting. As impressive as RG3 was they still didn't win. Giants win 27-23.
The Texans bounced back from getting thrashed by the packers last week to thrashing a pretty good ravens team. Although they were without Webb, and Ray Lewis, they got Terrell Suggs back which helped especially after losing Ray. It wasn't enough though, even if they had those two guys probably wouldn't have been enough. Matt Schaub was back in form, Arian Foster was also back in form after running pretty soft after against the Packers. People still saying the NFC is head and toes above the AFC which I feel isn't true. The NFC is a better division but i don't think the gap is as wide as most people think. Texans win 43-13.
The aforementioned Cam Newton played like a 7th rd pick again on Sunday. He is holding onto the ball too long, when he is throwing they are not good throws. He is playing like a guy who is surprised at the speed of the game. His rookie season was a good one for him, but what people fail to see is that they were still 6-10 last year. They weren't a good team last year. They have a decent roster but they can't put wins together. I have failed to mention the team that beat them because they did nothing special to win this game. It was the Cowboys and that is even worse for the Panthers. Cowboys win 19-14.
Pats/Jets on Sunday was an interesting game. The Jets went down the field first drive and scored to which the Pats responded with a Kickoff return for a TD. From there it seemed that the Jets just couldn't finish. Kind of shocking to look at the scoreboard and see the Pats up for the majority of the game. In the end the better team won, but in OT, and only because Mark Sanchez is Mark Sanchez and should never be put in a clutch situation anymore. He fumbled Pats win, and everyone still hates the J.E.T.S. Pats win 29-26.
Other winners on the week were 49ers, Packers, Saints, Titans, Colts, Raiders, Steelers, and Da Bears.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to watch game 1 of the World Series tonight.
