The Week In Review - week 10

The Week in Review…
Congrats to the Rams who broke through the ice this week to get their first victory upsetting the Saints in Louisiana which is a step backward for the team from New Orleans. On the injury front AP had to be helped off the field and will be going for an MRI on Monday which is never a good thing and the other rookie Marshawn Lynch turned an ankle though at least he scored a TD before he headed to the bench so be prepared to check your injury reports next week if you own either of them.
Now on to the games…
The Games:
Dirty Birds 20 @ Pussy Cats 13
What a boring game as the Falcons scored on their first and last possessions but nothing else and the Panthers got their TD from their defense. I do think there were more players over 40 in one game that I have ever seen as Vinny T started the game and Morten kicked in it and they are 89 years old combined. Dunn and Crumpler scored for the Falcons and that is all that happened in this one.
Bills 13 @ Winless Fish 10
Another boring contest for Fantasy owners as this game had no offensive rhythm to it whatsoever. The rookie RB from Buffalo scored one before he left the game and Lemon ran in the other one. I thought the fish might get into the win column but they could not hold back the Bills in the 4th quarter.
Rams 37 @ Saints 29
The Rams broke into the win column this week in a shoot-out with the Saints. Bulger threw for 300 + and 2 TD’s one to Bruce and one to Bennett. Holt had a 124 yards and SJax ran for one and threw for another. The Saints got off to a slow start but Brees wound up with 272 yards throwing for 2 TD’s and 2 Int’s. His primary target was Coltson but found both his TE’s for his touchdowns. Reggie Bush also got a little dinged but he did find the end zone in a relatively unproductive game for him.
Broncos 27 @ Chiefs 11
What a difference Jay Cutler makes as the Broncos looked like a different team this week in Arrowhead. Travis Henry did not play but no matter as Selvin Young stepped in and ran for a score + a c-note. The Chiefs were without LJ and therefore without their offense as they only managed to kick 3 FG’s and score a safety.
Bungles 21 @ Ravens 7
The Bungles moved the ball between the 20’s but never found the end zone as Shayne Graham kicked 7 FG’s this week for all their scoring in this one. The Ravens got their touchdown once the reigns were turned over to Mr. Boller who promptly led them down the field for a score though it was a little too late.
Vikings 0 @ Packers 34
The Packers are for real folks as today they ran on the Vikings which noone does and Brett Favre was his usual self throwing for 351 yards and 3 TD’s though they were not to his usual suspects as Rovell Martin caught two and one to Donald Lee who just got his contract extended. The beneficiary of the rebound running game is Ryan Grant who put up a career best 119 yards and a TD. The only thing that happened for the Vikes in this game was the loss of AP, the bigger question is for how long.
Jaguars 28 @ The Titans 13
A defensive tackle can make quite a difference as the Titans were without Mr. Haynesworth which allowed the Jags to run all over the Titans as MJD ran for a 100 +a score and Fragile Freddy found the end zone as well. Vince Young and company can not come from behind and they were today which took them out of their running game and force Vince to pass which is no good for anyone as he had more Int’s then TD’s this week. Lindale White could not find a rhythm and came off hobbling towards the end of the 3rd quarter so you need to check on him later in the week.
21 Lions @ Cardinals 31
The Cardinals defended their home turf in a game that was marred by Turnovers. Kurt Warner threw for 3 TD’s two to Fitz and one to Pope who also caught one from Rattay giving him two on the day. The Lions ran for -18 yards so that will tell you the kind of day that Kevin Jones had though he did score a TD. Roy Williams and Jon Kitna hooked up twice in the 4th quarter as the Lions feverishly tried to come back.
Eagles 33 @ Skins 25
Donovan McNabb had one of those games throwing for 4 TD’s and his primary target was Mr. Westbrook who caught two and ran for another. McNabb’s other two went to two players who have been a disappointment this year as LJ Smith and Reggie Brown hauled them in. The Skins put up a good fight as Jason Campbell threw for 3 TD’s, two to James Thrash and the other to Kennan McCardell so I doubt anyone benefited from those.
Browns 28 @ The Steelers 31
This game was a lot closer then I thought it would be as both QB’s kept their teams in it. Big Ben threw for 2 and ran for one finding Hines Ward and Heath Miller for scores and Willie Parker ran for over a 100 but could not find the end zone. Derek Anderson continued his stellar play throwing for 3 TD’s one each to Winslow, Edwards and Vickers.
Bears 17 @ Raiders 6
In the final yucky game of the day the Bears were led to victory by Rex Grossman who came in to replace an injured Gresie and found Berrian deep for a score. Cedric Benson ran for a score and 76 yards which was all the offense in this game.
Cowboys 31 @ G-men 20
Tony Romo led the Cowboys to victory hooking up with T.O. twice, and one each to Crayton and Tony Curtis. The Giants were led by Shockey who had a huge game this week catching 12 balls for a 129 yards and a score. Brandon Jacobs had 95 yards on the ground but his TD was called back due to a holding call late in the 3rd.
