Your Week 7 NFL Recap
GENERAL By Gotty™ on October 26, 2009 at 9:44 am
Even though the Vikings lost, they proved themselves a formidable opponent for the Steelers. With the score @ 13-10, it was tit-for-tat all the way until the fourth quarter. Then, hell broke loose. A Favre fumble returned for a touchdown 77-yards by Lamarr Woodley. Boom! The ensuing kickoff returned by Percy Harvin for an 88-yard score. Zing! With three minutes left, the ball and a three point lead, it seemed peak time for Favre to work his magic. But a deflected pass lead to an interception and deflated hopes of Minnesota remaining undefeated. While his arm is still strong as ever, Brett’s legs are not. His limbs straight wilted while he was pursuing Keyaron Fox. Nevertheless, the V’s showed they could and should remain a contender this year.
– Where Brett’s last minute mishap was more understandable, Eli Manning just screwed the pooch and his team’s chance to win in the final minutes. While he’s looked sharp this year, whatever coverage he thought he read looked like it came from the Book of Old Error-Prone Eli. L taken, Cards win.
– Broncos on a bye, still undefeated. Colts still rolling as Peyton operated with his usual cold precision. The Saints rolled over the Dolphins as Drew Brees had a so-so performance. After looking a little ruffled early (he threw two picks early), he settled and got help from his friends Jeremy Shockey and Reggie Bush. This fourth quarter, double reverse, flying leap into the end zone by Bush = highlight reel.
With what’s left of their schedule, it could be very well be smooth sailing for NO.
Other Happenings This Sunday
– The Buccaneers went all the way to England to get their asses handed to them by the Pats. Take the Bucs’ passports & keep them there please.
– Lovie’s Bears got no love from the Bengals as Carson Palmer tossed five TD passes in la route, going 20-24. The Bengals are 5-2. That’s a question and a statement.
– JaMarcus Russell finally found his way to the bench after he turned the ball over three times in the first quarter (2 picks and a fumble). Doesn’t matter as the Raiders took their weekly trip to behind the woodshed, losing 38-0 to the Jets.
– The surprising suffering Chargers dumped on the Chiefs. Crabs in a bucket.
– The Titans didn’t lose this week! But they didn’t win, saved by a bye.
– And somebody goddamn explain why Howie Long still spikes his hair. Even Brain Bosworth doesn’t spike his hair anymore.
The highlight of the day came from Adrian Peterson’s Tecmo’ing of the William Gay, word to Bo Jackson.

holy shit AP
i was in the break room at work and saw all day do that real time. i went bananas. “don’t you know i’m loco homes?” – owen wilson in zoolander
Mr. Brees almost killed my fantasy football win for the week… (I said almost).
The guy redeemed himself and I destroyed the competition!
QB’s
Warner, Favre both have fuckin rocket launchers for arms. I love watching them throw.
Peyton Manning so accurate it’s unbelievable.
AP is a monster. You could hear poor mr.gay’s spine crackle as he got mollywhooped.
Man the Giants need to get back on track and keep C.C(Can’t Cover) Brown off the field.
And JarMarcus man o man; he has taken over Racism as the #1 reason Black QB’s won’t get drafted anymore. He is so bad the raiders wanted to demote him to working the ticket window; but the raider execs were afraid he would give the tickets to the wrong people. lol
My BEARS got destroyed yesterday. It’s a damn shame. Lovie might want to go back to just calling the offense. He obviously can’t call the plays on both sides of the ball. Stop giving the Defensive Coordinator a free ride and let him do his job without you micromanaging.
Damn Lance Moore. Damn Pierre Thomas. Damn Anquan’s ankle. Damn Donald Brown’s shoulder. Damn Jermichael Finley’s knee.
Damn the Colts coach – leave Peyton in and run up the damn score…. Word to Bill Belichick…
One Loss and One game pending (up by 25 w/ Donovan Mc to play on my opponents team)
*woosah*
@douglas: I roadtripped from chi to cincy for the game. Cost of tix/splitting hotel and gas wit folks was still cheaper then getting a ticket in chi. We left 1 possesion into the 3rd quarter. It was a anticlimatic end to an otherwise decent trip. Salty. 4.5 hour drive of shame.
I don’t think Lovie coaching the D is a problem, remember how terrible Babich was last year? Lol. The problem is the D-line fell off (wale and alex got old at DE and Harris is perpetually hurt and is not even half the player he was 3 years ago) so there’s no pressure on the qb unless they blitz and expose their soft secondary where the rookie Afalava is the only decent dude since Peanut is getting old and losing it and Vasher got hurt and lost it and nobody else ever had it. Factor in Urlacher being out for the year and good QBs eat up the bears because nobody is adjusting the D and as smart as he was out there making calls and shutting down rbs and tight ends in the passing game. The D has major personell issues.
And for the love of jeebus can they fire Ron Turner already. I don’t understand how a consistently mediocre offensive coordinator has kept his job so long. He was wack back in the mid 90s as bears coordinator, was wack when he left to be head coach at u of illnois, and was wack when he got fired there and returned to the bears. Since the age of 9 or so I’ve had far too much Turner in my football life fucking shit up ( I went to u of I while he was coach) I’m tired of him lol.
El Ro: lol@ throwing Ron on the bus. But the bears have gotten old at key spots and injuries have really hurt their defense. On offense Matt Forte is having a worse sophomore jinx than K-Solo. lol
Damn AP is killin them out there.
no love for Alex Smith?!
blah..
