Congratulations to the Detroit Lions who won their 1st game in their last 20. They beat the Redskins at home 19-14. Rookie Matthew Stafford was impressive 21-36 241 yds 1 TD. 2nd year RB Kevin Smith who experienced his 1st career win ran for 101 yds on 16 carries. In defeat Jason Campbell threw for 340 yds on 27-41 passing and 2 TDs. Santana was his main target. Moss caught 10 passes for 178 yds and a TD. They didnt give Clinton Portis the ball enough only 12 carries 42 yds. They say Coach Jim Zorn is safe for now but I really dont see how he is hindering Campbells growth and cant coach this offense, he should be fired!
Jacksonville stole one in Houston 31-24 for their 1st win of the season. Houston had it won until former #1 overall pick Mario Williams got a penalty for a horse-collar on 3rd down which extended Jax drive. Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 119 yds on 23 carries and 3 TDs. This season is his first as the feature back. Matt Schaub was good throwing for 300 yds on 26-35 and 3 TDs.
In a must win for Tennessee against the Jets they didnt! New York took an early 14-0 lead int the first but the Titans would battle back to lead 17-14 in the 3rd. But after that it was all NY who won 24-17 led by their new #1 WR Jerricho Cotchery who had 8 cat for 108 yds and a TD. Rookie QB Mark Sanchez became the first rookie QB to start and win all of his first 3 games. He was 17-30 171 yds 2 TDs 1 int and an amazing 14 yd TD run where he lowered his shoulders and head to get into the endzone. For Tennessee Chris Johnson ran for 97 yds on 22 runs. QB Kerry Collins was horrible again 15-37 170 yds 1 TD and 2 ints. He missed on his last 13 passes.(VINCE YOUNG!!! thats all Im saying).
My Eagles took care of business against Kansas City without Donovan who was resting his ribs for another week and we have a bye next week. Kevin Kolb led us to our 34-14 victory. Kolb was 24-34 for 327 yds and 2 TDs no ints. He became the first QB in history to throw for over 300 yds in both of his first two starts. Rookie LeSean McCoy led our running game with Brian Westbrook out with an injury, he had 20 runs for 84 yds and a TD. TE Brent Celek had 8 cat for 104 yds and a TD and second year WR my boy "D-Jack" DeSean Jackson also had a big day with 6 cat for a career high 149 yds including a 64 yd TD. My boy did a cartwheel into the endzone lol he a fool but you either Love the Swagg or keep hating! The game was also the homie Mike Vicks first game in over 2 years. He was not used much only 0-2 passing and 1 run for 7 yds.
The Vikings won in dramatic fashion over the 49ers 27-24. Frank Gore was only in for one carry before he had to leave the game with an ankle injury. San Fran had no running game after that but Shaun Hill was nice with the offensive leader and soldier out. Hill was 15-25 for 195 yds and 2 TDs with 1 int. His main target was one of the great young up and coming TEs in the league, Vernon Davis he had 7 cat 96 yds and both of the TD passes. AD ran for 85 yds on 19 carries but the day was stole by the old man. Favre was only 24-46 but threw for 301 yds and 2 TDs 1 int. On the final drive he went 80 yds on 10 plays in only 1:27 and threw his first ever game winner in the final :10 of a game. He found Greg Lewis a former Eagle who was just cut by the Pats in the back of the endzone for a 32 yd TD. He wasnt great all day, he did nearly throw what shouldve been a game ending interception on the drive before but Dre Bly dropped it. Hes also getting too much credit for the final play. YES! It was legendary but the catch was even better than the throw. Show Greg some love too, and Im not being bias cause I never really liked him too much when we had him because he dropped every huge crucial throw D-Nabb ever threw him and kept us from beating Carolina in 04 and getting to the Super Bowl a year earlier.
Seattle in those ugly ass jerseys had an early 13-0 lead on my boy Jays Bears but "theBEARS" lol calmed down and regrouped. They were still down 13-7 at halftime after Matt Forte was stuffed at the goalline Coach Lovie Smith went for it on 4th&goal and off the playaction Jay Cutler made a great jump pass to Greg Olsen (from DaU!!!) while being rushed They dominated the 3rd and took a 17-13 lead into the 4th. The Seahawks captured the lead again at 19-17 but with 1:52 left in the game Devin Hester (from DaU!!!) caught a slant and broke a tackle on his way to the endzone from 36 yds out. They got the 2pt convo final score 25-19. Cutler was an outstanding 21-27 for 247 yds 3 TDs and 1 int.
The Cincinnati Bengals are living up to the early high hopes and predictions of their star WR Chad Ochocinco as they get another upset. This one over the defending champs. It was their first time beating Pittsburgh at home in 6 years. The Steelers where up 20-9 going into the 4th then the Bengals scored two 4th qt TDs. Carson Palmer hit Andre Caldwell with :14 left for a 4 yd TD pass that capped off a 16 play 71 yd drive to win it. Caldwell had 6 cat for 52 yds and Ochocinco had 5 cat for 54 yds. They were Carsons main targets as he finished with 183 yds and completed 20-37. Cedric Benson ran for 76 yds on 16 runs with the other 4th qt TD. Ben Rothlisburger was 22-31 276 yds and 1 TD with an unlikely go to guy in Mike Wallace. He had 7 cat 102 yds and Willie Parker caught the only TD pass he also ran for 93 on 25 carries.
My Colts did they thing on Sunday Night in Arizona winning 31-10. Peyton threw 4 TDs to 4 different guys. He was 24-35 for 379 yds. Reggie Wayne had 126 yds with 7 cat, Pierre Garcon 3 cat 64 yds 1 TD, Austin Collie 3 cat 47 yds, Dallas Clark 7 cat 62 yds 1 TD. The other TD was caught by Joseph Addai and he ran for 63 yds on 13 carries, the guy he shares time with rookie Donald Brown ran for 40 yds on 14 carries and had a huge 72 yd rec. Kurt Warner was 30-52 332 yds 1 TD 2 ints.
The Cowboys got their first win in their new stadium beating the Carolina Panthers 21-7. They were shutout in the first half 7-0 was the lead for Carolina but that was just a good 2:00 drive that took 1:45 8 plays 90 yds and was capped off with a 25 yd TD pass to Dante Rosario. Delhomme was 22-33 with 220 yds 1 TD and 2 more ints. although you could argue that neither one was his fault. Steve Smith aknowledged and apologized for the second int saying it was his fault. Carolina for some stupid reason stopped running when they are a running team. DeAngelo Williams had 64 yds and only got 11 carries, thats 5.8 avg per carry... WHY THE HELL DID HE NOT GET MORE RUNS????? and lets not forget Jonathan Stewart who only got 3 runs. Romo went 22-33 for 255 yds, Marion Barber was out with injury and after his replacement Felix Jones had 8 runs for 94 yds he got hurt. Tashard Choice ran for 82 yds on 18 runs. Dallas is clearly what I said they would be (if they want to win) the best rushing team in the league. The last two weeks they have ran for over 200 yds its the first time they have done so since the Tony Dorsett days of the 70s. If they would have lost it would have been blamed 100% on Jason Garrett for calling two dumb ridiculous calls on the 2 yd line. A fade lob pass to Roy Williams which he shouldve caught but then on 3rd down choosing to throw it again insted of pounding it in behind that huge overpaid OLine...WHY??? Oh well they won.
Signing out DaKING, Jody-Jo.....YEZZIR!!! BALEE-DAT
