The NFL is Poop - Week 6

Wrote this last week but never finished it and forgot all about it. Week 7 coming soon.


Game of the Week
Bears 24 Cardinals 23
One of the biggest choke jobs ever, with the Bears coming back from 20 down in the last 15 minutes and 10 seconds. Over that time the Bears offense ran 14 plays. Two runs for 15 yards, 12 passes, 2 complete for 23 yards and 10 incomplete, including 2 interceptions. And they still came back from 20 points down. They had a Mike Brown fumble return, a Peanut Tillman fumble return (great rip by Urlacher) and an incredibly clutch punt return by Devin Hester. The Bears may not be as great as I thought they were last week, but they definitely are a team of destiny, because even through all that they didn't clinch the game...they needed a Neil Rackers missed FG to do that.

We Have Our Answer Part I
I wasn't sure if the Steelers were merely slumping or seriously flawed. Apparently the answer was slumping. They dismantled Kansas City 45-7.

We Have Our Answer Part II
The Rams aren't quite ready to take the NFC West from the Seahawks. They had a huge lead and blew, came back but couldn't hold on.

The Best Rookie QB
Might not be Vince Young or Matt Leinart. Bruce Gratkowski is 2-0 as the QB of the Bucs, a team that sucked early in the season when Chris Simms was at the helm. That splenectomy might have been the best thing to happen to Tampa Bay all year.

A Brief Rant About the Redskins
The great game Mark Brunell had against the Jaguars was definitely the worst that could have happeneed. It's time to go to Jason Campbell. The Skins lost to Tennessee at home to fall to 2-4 with the Colts coming up next. The season is over, make the change. I don't blame Brunell this week though. He was effective in his dink and dunk game. It was the defense that couldn't protect a 14-3 lead. It was the defense that allowed almost 200 yards rushing (178 to Travis Henry). It was the defense that forced no turnovers (for the third time this season).

Cheerleader of the Week

Raylin, Arizona Cardinals cheerleader
Raylin is one of the hottest cheerleaders I've seen on the squads I've evaluated so far this season. Ray-ray is a spontaneous person who enjoys working out and dancing. Her favorite foods are seafood and peanut butter though presumably not together. He greatest accomplishment is giving birth naturally.

If the Super Bowl Were Played Today
I'd still say the Bears will be in it because I'm not sure if that Cardinals game means they are worse...or even better than I thought. And right now the Colts are chugging along but I will never pick them to win the Super Bowl. Bears 24, Colts 17.
