NFL Week 3 Recap
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord, Alert the media…The Detroit Lions have a won a football game. They beat the Washington Redskins 19-14 on Sunday and made it look easy because the Redskins didn’t really show up. It was nice to see them end their losing streak and get a win under their belt. How about Brett Favre and his last second heroics to beat the 49ers. That was one of the best games of the week. There are still seven undefeated teams in the league right now. They are the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens and the team that I thought would fall apart, the Denver Broncos. This coming week the New York Jets are at the New Orleans Saints and one team is going home with their first lost. Cincinnati has came out of nowhere. They beat Green Bay and Pittsburgh back to back which tells me Cincinnati better not be ignored. Then you have the Cleveland Browns who can barely score any points. I honestly think the Browns could be the next 0-16 team in football. They are that horrible right now.
Speaking of horrible. My fantasy football week wasn’t the greatest either. In my Yahoo League this is how shaped out.
Hollywood’s Rejects 160.77
Has Steve Smith 2 271.06
This puts me at 1-2 for the year. My highest point earner was Wide Receiver from the Baltimore Ravens Derrick Mason.
In my ESPN league it wasn’t much better.
Greg’s Mustache (sdsu)(2-0-1)78
Hollywoods World of Sports (HWOO)(0-3) 68
My highest point earner was New York Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez who is quickly becoming one of my favorite players to watch. In terms of my predictions I went 9 for 16. Another rough week of football but hopefully I’ll rebound this week. Speaking of rebounding the Panthers have a bye week this coming week and I hope by then they have a new Quarterback. This thing with Jake is getting ridiculous. The guy is not a top-tier QB and he never was. He just had a couple of good years. I would also like to add that I really enjoy Rex Ryan’s press conferences. He tells it how it is and holds nothing back. As I said before the Jets are becoming one of my favorite teams and it’s not because they are 3-0. I have always liked Mark Sanchez even when he played for USC and Rex Ryan is just a cool coach who speaks what he thinks. The Monday Night game this next week could be the most watched Monday Night Game in a long time. The Green Bay Packers go to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. This is not as monumental as the Minnesota going to Green Bay but it will be the first time that Favre plays against the Packers. This is going to be an intense game with a lot of tension in it. Just wait when they play in Green Bay later on in the season.
Well that’s it for week. I will have my predictions for week 4 tomorrow. It should be an interesting week. A lot of tough match ups once again. It should be a great week 4.
