The Monday Quarterback

This will be my usual topic on Monday's from here until no more football......I'll review some of Sunday's game, giving who won and lost and the reason(s) behind it.

Colts 10 at Titans 31
This game was pretty much over with in the 2nd Quarter, when the Titans scored 17 points and the Colts offense never recovered as the Titans scored 20 points in the 1st half.

Saints 21 at Rams 31
Rams get their 1st win of the season, behind an aspired defense and Stephen Jackson power running. Maybe it was because of presence of the newly crowned Champs, the St. Louis Cardinals. Great Week for the city of St. Louis.

Dolphins 17 at Giants 20
Whatever people may say or write, the Miami Dolphins DID NOT quit, but again they came up short at the end. The Giants just showed why they are the better team in this tilt.

Vikings 24 at Panthers 21
This could mark the beginning of many match-ups between Newton and Ponder. Both rookie QB's played GREAT and both teams could have won, but the Vikings defense was the difference in this game. Timely turnovers and Adrian Peterson won the game for the Vikings.

Cardinals 27 at Ravens 30
Well this game was the tale of the halves: 1st half went to the Cards and 2nd half went to the Ravens. Flacco, who came off of his sub-par performance last Monday Night against the Jags, had a slow start but finished the game well. Anquan Boldin torched his former team with 7 catches for 145. Good comeback by the Ravens as they prepare for there showdown next week with the Steelers.

Jaguars 14 at Texans 24
Well this was an important win for the Texans. Keep in mind that Peyton Manning is on the shelf, so it would be WISE for the Texans to win the division this year or else suffer the wrath of "Blowing Up" this team.

Redskins 0 at Bills 23
Not really much to say about this game, just that Redskins QB John Beck was sacked a lot of times........

Lions 45 at Broncos 10
The Lions responded after their two game losing streak by going out and annihilate the Broncos. As for that Tebow guy, it seems as if he could be in way over his head with this starting QB in the NFL. The Broncos have a lot to look at before they can get back to those glory days of the 80's and 90's. This may take awhile after watching yesterday's game.

Patriots 17 at Steelers 25
This was the game of the week and it did not disappoint anyone either. The Pats came into this game winning 6 of the last 7 meetings against the Steel Curtain, but yesterday the Steelers had enough and really dominated this game with their defense. Brady was dazed and confused all day long and Big Ben played maybe he's best game as an NFL quarterback.

Brows 10 at 49ers 20
The 49ers are showing to the rest of the league, especially the NFC, that this team could be a huge contender for the NFC title come playoff time.

Bengals 34 at Seahawks 12
This win for the Bengals shows two things: 1.) that they are rebuilding, but at a VERY VERY fast pace and 2.) they are not contenders for the AFC wild card, if not, the AFC North division. They haven't played the top two dogs (Steelers and Ravens) in that division yet, but they are winning the games they are suppose to win.

Cowboys 7 at Eagles 34
Eagles needed this game to show everyone that (in the words of Lee Corso) "NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND" in counting this team out of the NFC East race. As for the Cowboys, if they can be consistent, then they just may be a big player in the NFC playoff picture.
