1 pm Recap: Saints, Rams and Dolphins All Remain Winless
Uncategorized October 7th. 2007, 4:49pm
New Orleans 13, Carolina 16: David Carr got knocked out of the game in the first half with a back injury, then returned to fire a fourth-quarter TD pass to Steve Smith. Then, Carr orchestrated a late drive that led to a John Kasey 52-yard field goal, keeping the Saints winless. Brutal loss for New Orleans at home.
Pittsburgh 21, Seattle 0: The Seahawks must have been horrendous to only muster 144 yards of total offense against a Steeler defense missing its best two players. Poop Davenport scored twice and the Steelers improved to 4-1.
Arizona 34, St. Louis 31: Still a laughing at our Cards-to-the-playoffs pick? They’re 3-2 after the dueling QBs led them to victory. Kurt Warner passed for a TD, and rushed for one, and Matt Leinart left with a collarbone injury (karma, baby). The Rams looked decent behind Head Butt Frerotte, who threw three TD passes.
Washington 34, Detroit 3: So how good is this Skins D? Four sacks, two picks (one for a TD) and a safety. The Lions could only generate 145 yards of total offense as the Redskins improved to 3-1. Jason Campbell threw two TD passes.
Tennessee 20, Atlanta 13: Five turnovers, but the Titans still come out winners. How the hell do these guys do it? They’re 3-1 after rebuffing Byron Leftwich – in for an ineffective and battered Joey Blue Skies – in the final minutes.
Miami 19, Houston 22: There were two TDs in the first quarter. Then came eight field goals. Miami remains winless because Kris Brown drilled a 57-yarder with one second left. Trent Green took a knee to the head and got knocked out of the game, but all the reports we’ve seen indicate he’ll be fine. Word of advice: hang ‘em up, dude. If you want to be coherent 15 years from now.
New York Jets 24, New York Giants 35: The Jets were in control at the half, but the Giants erupted in the second half for 24 points, including a late pick-six to send the Jets to 1-4. If Maroney’s got the best RB stiff-arm in the league, then Plaxico’s got the best among WRs. Wait till you see this TD he scored.
Jacksonville 17, Kansas City 7: How pissed would you be to own Larry Johnson in fantasy? Nine carries for 12 yards? At home? Damon Huard was so bad, that Brodie Croyle came in and tossed a late TD pass, so perhaps there’s a QB controversy in KC, not that anyone would care. The Jags are 3-1.
New England 34, Cleveland 17: We sweated this one out because in one of our many parlays, we had the Pats -16.5. New England led 27-17, then bricked in the Browns red zone with a minute left, only to score a freakish TD on a fumble recovery for a TD seconds later. Amazingly, the Browns moved the ball at will and got into the Patriots red zone … but it was just a tease. Whew! (If Baltimore beats San Fran, we hit a six team parlay!!)

The only thing that sucked worse than my Dolphins going 0-5 today was the newest batch of Coors Light Press Conference commercials (the ones where Denny Green looked like he’d downed a bottle of Tylenol PM shortly before sitting down).
At first I thot those commercials were mildly amusing, then just okay. Now they just need to go. They’re growing increasingly lame.

How does New Orleans keep losing? They were ONE win away from the Super Bowl last year, and this year they can’t BUY one win. It’s pathetic, really.

goes to show- a team is only as good as its offensive line…and New Orleans’ line has been playing horribly.

Go Buzzsaw! I guess Grandma Warner will be calling local radio stations in Phoenix now, extolling her grandson’s, er, I mean, husband’s virtues.

This is a bit like declaring that Rosie O’Donnell is a fat pig, but Cedric Benson is a bust. A timid, no-heart, vagina having bust. Oh, and Drew Brees sucks big horse cock.
As if you couldn’t tell, I have both guys on my fantasy team.

Dear Mangenius,
Please, for the love of everything holy, start Kellen Clemens next week. You can count it as my Christmas present. For serious.
Love,

Why must when Ronnie Brown is finally healthy and getting the ball the rest of the Dolphins players turn to pure shit and can’t do anything right. The defense sucks all of a sudden, they can’t pass the ball whatsoever. Arg!
