Giants @ Colts:
Its going to be an awkward Thanksgiving at the House of Manning this year. Eli and the Giants were absolutely stomped by his big brother Peyton and the Colts. Peyton was in his
usual form, 20/26 and connecting for 3 TDs. Eli‟s performance was questionable, with two QB fumbles, and the Colts pass rush very obviously made him nervous. He was sacked 4
times and intercepted once.

BIGGEST HEARTACHE?

QB OF THE WEEK:
Mike Vick. And I hate saying that. He looked like the Pro-Bowler that he once was. I‟m wondering if Kevin Kolb
will start next week, as he is expected to return. I'm sure that Andy Reid has some serious thinking to do...

REEL IT? RECAP
What happens when your quarterback has a bad day? Nine times out of ten… you lose. That
seemed to be the story for 5 of 6 teams this week in the NFL.
I‟ll start with the most painful. Brett Favre does absolutely nothing halfway. When he wins, he
dominates. When he struggles, it‟s a debacle. Three interceptions and a fumble in the end zone
were the main reason that the Dolphins were able to beat the Vikings this week.
Vince Young tried his hardest, and you have to give him credit. His passes were caught, just by
the wrong team. With 2 critical interceptions against the Steelers, and Chris Johnson his only
target was made invisible, Young was benched. If I was Young, I would be worried about my
job.
Joe Flacco fell apart this week. It was a sad, sad thing to watch. After a few promising seasons
he is struggling to hold it together and this week was the worst I‟ve seen him. 4 interceptions
against the Bengals. His average pass completion was not even 4 yards.
Matt Moore‟s career with the Panthers is probably over. After a concussion last week and a less
than stellar performance this week, Jimmy Clausen will most likely start the rest of the year. I
think Moore is sad, but relieved.
David Garrard and the Jaguars...what can I say except at least you can spread the blame
around a little. His 4 interceptions weren't the only problem that the Jaguars had, but it was one
of the biggest. He was benched.
The only team that capitalized on their bad QB this week was the Raiders. Bruce Gradkowski
stepped in after Jason Campbell was ineffective in the first half. Led the Raiders to a win. There
is hope for the 2nd Stringers out there.
I look forward to the Bears and Green Bay in Week 3… somebody‟s gotta lose, not everyone
can be 3-0. The games oldest rivalry will be historic, even this early in the season. I‟m also
looking to see what the Dallas Cowboys will do next week against the Houston Texans. I‟m pre-
dicting an 0-3 for them and a 3-0 for the Texans. Sorry Lew, but at least one team in Texas is do-
ing well… maybe they should give the Texans that shiny new Superbowl stadium.
