A Case of the Tuesdays
Football season is the only thing Monday has going for it. It is probably why football is played during Winter, because without it, Mondays in January would be a total nightmare. On Tuesday you finally get to look at the week's worth of action, you check out the numbers, and then you realize that Tuesadays suck. So, here it is, the first installment of "A Case of the Tuesdays."
The Best of Week 5 Football:
Reggie Bush finally puts it in gear and returns a punt for a touchdown that will eventually be the game winner. The boy is looking good in gold. (The 4-1 Saints are the feelgood story of the season)
The Colts (we ask yet again "is it Peyton's year?") go to 5-0 but just barely, sqeuaking a 14-13 win over the Titans. The who? Yes, the 0-5 Titans. (For the record, I say, no, this is not, yet, Peyton's year)
Leinart (ARZ) and Smith (SF) have good games. If there is one thing football nerds love its the next crop of hall of fame QBs. These guys have had so much talk surrounding them, and while their teams won't contend this season its nice to see them have 100+ yard games.
Philly DOMINATES Dallas. The hype about T.O. is ridiculous, and it's not what football is about, but when there is more coverage of Mr. Owens screaming at his offensive coordinator then of him catching passes, you gotta smile just a little. On a sidenote that should not be a sidenote, McNabb is playing like a goddamn MVP.
Da Bears. Best Offense. Best Defense. The only team that could go 16-0 this season. The Bears can, and I think will, win the superbowl, and Rex Grossman will be the sleeper QB of the season.
Roethlisberger has a great game (20-31, 220) and still loses. Roethlisberger is outplayed again, and will be consistently this season. The Steelers will not be a new Superbowl dynasty.
And finally, the Ravens accept their first loss at Mile High Stadium. Jake Plummer was clutch, Steve McNair was...asleep? The Ravens needed a loss to get their egos in check. If they step it back up, they could be major contenders, and though I don't think it will happen, a Bears v. Ravens Superbowl would be fantastic.
