Last Sunday’s Dallas/Detroit game was not a very exciting matchup. Not much interest for the Pittsburgh/Oakland game. And the Seahawks were prettymuch expected to knock the stuffing out of the Rams. Not to mention yesterday’s game, how often do you see a DE make the winning score in OT?
Dallas/Detroit not exciting? Dez Bryant versus Megatron? Two of the league’s top offenses in a dome? Dallas, the team that finds exhilarating new ways to lose every other week?
I think it clearly illustrates how pass-driven the league is becoming, and also how many teams utilize multiple RB’s in their offenses. But it is indeed crazy, having grown up in the era of RB’s being centerpieces of offenses, racking up multiple hundred yard games per season, etc. But, it was only what, a season ago when Adrian Peterson rushed for over 2,000 yards? I think it’s at least an indication of a shift away from the importance of RB’s with the exception of an elite few like AP, and they are pretty rare.
The Bills can’t stop kicking themselves in the nuts. They gave up a 101-yd runback on an interception on a play where they should have scored a touchdown (a 14 point swing.) And just now fumbled in their own redzone, which KC’s defense converted for 6 more.
The Panthers are playing good football. Very balanced. The defense is very solid and opportunistic. Their offense is tough to scheme against because they have a lot of weapons. Newton did not have a good game today and they are still up 21 on the Falcons. That being said, they still haven’t beaten a good team. Next two weeks against SF and NE will be big tests.
Oh Weeden, how do we get rid of you? Browns are looking pretty good against the Ravens, defense is playing great, team scored, everyone is pumped up. Weeden comes in due to injury and the whole team is going to end up deflating I bet.
Tampa Bay is up 3 TDs on Seattle. Odd. Campbell is back in. Whew. I know the consensus here is that Campbell is the worst thing ever, but you have no idea how much Weeden just sucks the life out of everything. Campbell is massively better, he at least doesn’t drag the rest of the team down.
