Big Willy Style's week 3 recap

  • Dont get too excited about the Redskins 2-1 record, Arizona made too many mistakes in key spots that put the game on a platter for the Skins. Such is the growing pains for a talented team learning how to win tight games.
  • The Titans defense is the reason they are 3-0. Kerry Collins will do just enough to win games and their running game is very underrated with rookie Chris Johnson. Many are surprised by their 3-0 start but not this guy, this is a good football team.
  • The Giants didnt play their best game on Sunday but still found a way to win the game as championship teams do. There are not many players more clutch than Eli Manning when the game is on the line, you just know hes gonna come through.
  • Ok what the hell happened in Foxboro this weekend. Ronnie Brown became Walter Payton, the Dolphins did to the Pats what the Pats were supposed to do to the Dolphins, and Bill Belichek gave credit to an opponent after the game. Just when I think I have this league figured out...
  • The Vikings saved their season for now by a spirited effort by their defense that was spotty in the previous two weeks. They still have major issues on the offensive side of the ball, one being the name Frerotte on the back of the jersey of the guy taking snaps from the center.
  • The Bears blew it... again. I didnt think they could top last week's debacle in Carolina but they pretty much doubled it at home against the Bucs. For 3 straight weeks teams have tried their best to hand them victories and we're only able to accept that gift once, just imagine when a team plays well against them.
  • In another great comeback this week, Trent Edwards put the team on his back and the Bills escaped a scare from the Raiders and moved to 3-0. Edwards along with his team is fa real folks.
  • The 8 people in the metropolitan area that watched the Atlanta-Kansas City game were treated to another great performance by Michael Turner who has been one of the league's best kept secrets his whole career.
  • Another week, another anal drubbing taken by the Rams, and now we're hearing Trent Green is replacing Mark Bulger to turn the season around. If I we're them id investigate improving a defense that has given up somewhere in the neighborhood of 450 points in the first 3 games, but who am I to tell them what to do.
  • In an extremely close 2nd to the pathetic Rams as NFL's worst team, we have the Lions. I'm sorry I don't have any advice, other than maybe bringing Scott Mitchell, Barry Sanders, and Herman Moore back out of retirement so at least they'll be good in a video game (an unreal trio in Madden 96 for Super Nintendo)
  • Jay Cutler is quickly becoming my favorite QB in this league (who isnt a reigning superbowl MVP), and the Broncos are becoming my favorite team to monitor (who arent reigning super bowl champions). If they can just learn to stop someone on defense they may become the best team in the AFC.
  • In my opinion, the best team in the AFC (Steelers) lost to the 3rd best team in the NFC....East (eagles). The score does not justify how lopsided this one was, maybe the Eagles will actually play meaningful games after Thanksgiving this year since superbowl 39.
  • The Jags saved their season with an enormous come from behind win in Indy. When they run the football well they are as good a team as anybody to go along with that defense. Once I thought the Colts would take off after their win last week they go ahead and pull that at home. Maybe they should move back to the RCA dome.
  • The Browns are 0-3 and look nothing like a competitive football team. Maybe its time for Brady Quinn to show what he can do, they have nothing to lose at this point.
  • Yea yea the Cowboys won easily in Lambeau and are now 3-0 and now every NFL analyst on ESPN can talk about how unstoppable they are. Here's a healthy reminder how it always ends for them every year....http://z.hubpages.com/u/284238_f260.jpg
  • What a job by Brett Favre last night. It was a Wills Reed'esque type performance playing through that gimpy ankle and trying to bring his team back from a tough deficit (which he had nothing to do with it was all his WR's fault running the wrong routes of course). I mean the man can do no wrong can he.
