Thoughts from the weekend:
Detroit D set the tone for the win over Atlanta. D had 7 sacks on the day and Atlanta only scored 2 FGs
In Indy’s win, Ravens got screwed when DPI should’ve given them a new set of downs in OT, instead, it was a turnover on downs that allowed Indy to kick the game winner.
In the ravens loss, Justin Tucker missed a 61 yard FG that would’ve won it. He’s so damn good that his miss was surprising.
Bills picked off Howell 4 times and sacked him 9 times in their win over the Commies. Howell was holding the ball too long, but pass protection has been an issue for the Commies all season. DC’s lone points consisted of a sad 4th quarter FG.
70 points by Miami? What is this, Madden!?! And no D in Denver at all. Shouldn’t Vance Joseph be fired by now?
Vikings, now 0-3, one-upped the Charger’s stupidity. With 2 minutes left and a 4-point lead, Staley made the idiot move to go for it on 4th and 1 at his own 24. It failed. Then the Vikings bailed him out with an tipped-ball INT in the EZ in the closing seconds. Wow. Vikings have the worst turnover ratio in the NFL
Costly win for the chargers, though. They lost WR M.Williams and S D.James to injuries. Williams might be out for the season.
In beating one of the best teams in the NFC, Arizona is tanking wrong. Really, they’ve had 4th quarter leads in both of their losses this season. They could easily be 3-0 right now. Surprising players and some good coaching out there.
In the loss, despite being down several starting Olinemen, Dallas had 400yds of offense, including 185yds on the ground, and were 9 of 16 on 3rd down. But they bogged down in the redzone, scoring a TD only once in 5 trips.
Aside from Dak’s game-clinching EZ INT, Dallas gave up 200+yds on the ground. Unbelievable. Cowboys also had 13 penalties for 107yds. Very Believable.
Bad Jimmy showed up against the Steelers. 3 picks on the night. Then again, he was evaluated for a concussion after the game…
Deshaun balled out on offense. The Browns D shut down Henry and held Tannehill to 100yds passing. The Titans couldn’t move the ball.
Texans huge upset over the Jags. Lawrence looks very different this season and not in a good way.
Ryans is doing some good things down there in Houston. Stroud has looked surprisingly good so far.
Somehow, Seattle let Dalton-led Carolina Panthers hang around for 3 quarters before salting the game away.
On a related note, Jamal Adams is gonna play next week. Wonder how long that’ll last.
Sure, they were playing KC, but man the bears are really bad. Will they even win a game? Well, they DO play the no-D in Denver next week.
After the Saints lost Carr, they couldn’t score against GB. Love led the undermanned Pack to 18 unanswered points in the 4th quarter for a 1-point lead. Then the Saints missed the game-winning 46yd FG. Smh.
If the Jets had half-competent QB play, they would’ve beaten the Pats. I can’t believe the Jets are sticking with Wilson. Is Saleh going to go down with the ship?
