Monday Morning Football Thoughts

Pittsburgh Steelers/Tennesee Titans
They pulled it off in spectacular fashion. Willie Parker stepped up and came out big. Ben R. had a perfect QB rating. No sacks were allowed by the 0-line. Wow. Good stuff. I'd rave more about this, but I'm gonna need to see more of this type of play against some very good teams to be convinced. Tennesee isn't exactly the powerhouse they used to be. Still, let's give up a little love to the home team. They looked great in the opener.

Baltimore Ravens/ Indy Colts
I'll say now what I said last night when watching the game: The Baltimore Ravens were responsible for the score on both sides of the ball. Their defense and offense kept the points down. To Bohler's credit, he had no help from his O-line. They crumpled instantly on every pass play. I've read that their offensive line was built for the run, not the pass. It was evident. As for Indy, I'm not ready to jump on board their "Our defense is tough" bandwagon. They need to beat a team with a decent offense before they get any love from me.

Cleveland/Cincinatti
Cincinatti may just turn out to be a huge force to be reckoned with. They have a very good offense, and their defense plays with a lot of heart. But there's really nothing to say about the huge can of whoop-*** they opened on Cleveland. Cleveland is just going to suffer all season in their condition, so a win against them is also nothing to brag about.

Everything else

-Miami slapped Denver all over the field yesterday in just under 110 degree heat. Awesome.

-Duante Culpepper rubbed butter all over his hands yesterday, and then tried to be the QB. Uh, 2 fumbles and 3 Interceptions? Way to hand a victory to Chucky and his Pirates.

-Despite the Cowboys win, I impressed with two things: Drew Brees looked great without Gates, and Keyshawn (Me-shawn) Johnson can still play half-decently.

-Panthers shouldn't have lost against the saints. Since when did the Saints get to take the Cowboys title of "America's Team"? Sorry, lots of pity for the saints, but come on, let's not over-do things.

-F-U-M-B-L-E-JETS!JETS!JETS! 6 fumbles? Hey Pennington, did you shake hands with Culpepper any time on Sunday?

-Bills beat Texans...big deal. Texans smack-down line forms to the left.

-49ers beat the Rams. Okay, that's just weird. The Rams will be spending extra hours studying tape after that one.

-Will people stop quoting Lee Corso's "Not so fast my friend!"??? It was never funny, and its worse when it gets quoted.

-Bears vs. Redskins. Hmmm, next time both teams should bring their offense to the game.
