Interesting slate of games this past week.
Big upsets of AFC North powers Pittsburgh and Cincinnati by KC and Oakland, respectively. Any given Sunday, indeed.
The Packers are playing well, living up to preseason expectations. Dallas eked out a win in a defensive struggle with the 'Skins. The G-men got back into the win column, finally. Denver looks nothing like the team that started 6-0. Can they get back on track? The Bears, well, Cutler didn't lose the game for them this time at least. The one INT he did have was on a tipped pass on the last desperation drive of the game, so it wasn't all bad for him, but he constantly overthrew open receivers during the game, perhaps trying too hard not to make a mistake. Hopefully he'll learn.
The Saints looked good, but you would expect that in a game against a one-win team. Big big test for them next Monday night vs. the Pats, should be a good barometer of how well they match up with an elite AFC team.
Even the Browns and Lions made for a good game, and both showed more offense than they had all year. Hopefully both franchises can build upon this and put up similar performances against good teams, not just bad ones. Stafford showed a lot of guts going out there with a separated shoulder.
Speaking of #1 overall quarterbacks, it looks like Jamarcus is going to ride the bench the rest of the year if Gradkowski can keep leading this team to wins. Hopefully Jamarcus learns and matures on the sideline and can come back next year strong, like Vince Young.
Bud Adams, the owner of the Titans, was hit with a quarter-million dollar fine for twice giving the middle finger to Bills fans. I thought the dude must have been drunk at the time, but looking at him during MNF last night, he looks rather senile; he's got that wild-eyed old man stare that makes you think he's not all there. Or he's high as a kite on 10 different meds. Hopefully he doesn't do anything to further embarrass himself, not when his team is playing pretty good football after a nightmare 0-6 start.
3 Thanksgiving Day games this year, to satisfy your football fix: Packers-Lions, Raiders-Cowboys, and Giants-Broncos.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
