NFL Update Week 7 & 8


Last week in football was not very surprising some what bland in a way but still like all weeks not everything goes as planned. The biggest upset of the week was definitely the St. Louis and Dallas game. Of course everyone knows that St. Louis is horrible they've only won one game against Washington, which was a big upset too, theres no way they can beat the talented Dallas cowboys right? Not exactly, not when Tony Romo is out with a broken finger and Steven Jackson rushes for 160 yards and 3 touchdowns. The rams are supposed to be horrible they were last year, but watch out they're on a two game winning streak and it seems like they finally maybe in a rhythm as they dominated the cowboys 34-14. I'd like to talk about Tennessee for a second who over the years hasn't had much recognition even though their defense is truly beast, best in the league in my eyes and now they destroy the Chiefs 34-10. I know that may not be very impressive because the Chiefs aren't necessarily "Good" but still the Titans trampled them and are the only undefeated team left in the league. I can see them going very far into the playoffs if they don't win it all in the Superbowl. Now on to week 8, which i don't think is going to be too exciting but hey what are you gonna do, the game i would recommend u watch is the London game. I don't recommend it just because of where its being played but also because of the match up, San Diego against New Orleans two good teams battling it up in another country whats not to love about that. The last thing i would like to say is go Stevenson as my high school battles it up against Churchill, our cross town rivals.

NFL Update Week 5 & 6


Another week of football is down the drains and this week there wasn't to much that surprised me. One of the few upsets of the week was Miami taking down San Diego 17-10, Miami coming off an almost no win season last has really came to play in these last couple weeks showing what Dolphins football really is. There were a few come from behind wins in the fourth quarter that otherwise would have been pretty big upsets, the Atlanta Falcons against Green Bay was close to being one of these games. Instead, the Falcons came out and surprised everyone by beating the Pack 27-24, the two teams combined to score 24 points in the fourth quarter. Perhaps in my opinion the best game of the week was on Monday Night Football where the New Orleans Saints were hosting the Minnesota Vikings. The game was somewhat ridiculous everything that could have happened did from Antoine Winfield catching a blocked Field Goal and taking it back for six to Reggie Bush returning two punts for touchdowns and combining for close to 300 all purpose yards. The whole game was back and forth between the two teams and ending in a Vikings 30-27 win over the Saints. This is the recap of what happened during the game. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/recap?game_id=29602&displayPage=tab_recap&season=2008&week=REG5. In Week 6 coming up once again the Lions are going to lose especially to the Vikings I'm predicting that Adrian Peterson is going to run all over their defense up and down the field. Other than that game i don't think theres going to be very many blowouts this week, which is good id much rather watch a close game then a blowout any day that's one reason why the Super Bowl is so entertaining teams don't usually get blown out when they're the best in their conference. It happens its just not usual. I think I'm gonna be watching the Dallas and Arizona game I'm expecting it to be a close forth quarter win maybe even in overtime. Any way you look at it this is going to be a great week of football and I'm looking forward to watching it.
