Was anyone else suprised by the starts of some of the games last week? I remembers Carolina and Detroit Being up by 17 one point. Also, though im still having trouble believing it, the Bucs won a game.
Washington at Atlanta
My Score Prediction- 31-13 Falcons
Final Score- 31-17 Falcons
No suprise here, the Falcons simply got the job done against a mediocre team. Though the Redskins did show some sign of a possible comeback, Michael Turner put those dreams away with a 58 yard touchdown run to put Atlanta up 31-13.
Grades
Atlanta (B+) Though their defense started to get lazy near the end, they got the job done.
Washington (C) They had the heart to beat Atlanta, but not the talent.
Arizona at Chicago
My Score Prediction- 20-17 Chicago
Final Score- 41-21 Cardinals
There's the Cardinals we all know and love, after last weeks breakdown they got right back on track, and they started to run the ball better. However, the Bears came decently close to a comeback.
Grades
Cardinals(A) The offense looked great running and passing, but the Cardinals better cover the tight end a little better in the future
Bears (D)- The first half was pathetic, the only player that showed up was Greg Olsen.
Baltimore at Cincinnati
Score Prediction- 20-17 Baltimore
Final Score- 17-7 Cincinnati
Wow, the Bengals are for real.
Their defense played great against a pretty powerful offense.
However, they scored on their first 3 drives and then didn't
score again, 17 points isn't enough to call it game.
Grades
Cincinnati (B) The defense played great, but the offense fell asleep after a few scores
Baltimore (D+) What happened to that power offense, in fact, what happened to the entire Baltimore Ravens team, after that huge Denver win I thought they were back.
Houston at Indianapolis
My Score Prediction- 31-28 Indy
Final Score- 20-17 Indy
This was a pretty intense game that i believed should have gone into overtime. The low score suprised me, but it was a close game as I predicted.
Grades
Indianapolis (B-) They seem to be getting closer to a loss each week, but the defense played well against a high powered offense
Texans (C+) They were a field goal away from possibly winning against the undefeated Colts.
Kansas City at Jacksonville
My Score Prediction- 24-10 Jacksonville
Final Score- 24-21 Jacksonville
The KC offense played much better than usual, including great play by Chris
Chambers...Where was that for that last 8 weeks? Anyway back to this game, Jacksonville just slipped away with a victory, but the question is, is Kansas City improving, or is Jacksonville actually worse than we thought?Grades
Jacksonville (B-) They came away with a win, not the greatest looking win but they came away with it. They continued a solid running game and David Garrard threw 0 picks.
Kansas City (C) They played pretty good for Kansas City, but lets take another week to see if Chambers really improves the team that much.
Miami at New England
My Score Prediction- 30-23 New England
Final Score 27-17 New England
The Patriots are looking great, but the Dolphins still played pretty tough. They had a chance to win this game but just blew it. Tom Brady looked sharp as usual and Randy Moss looked the best he has all year against a decent team.
Grades
Patriots (A-) They looked a little shaky at first, but finishing is what matters and they finished strong.
Dolphins (B-) They let the game slip away, they were playing solid defense and keeping the game tied and then just kinda disapeared.
Green Bay at Tampa Bay
My Score Prediction- 38-14 Green Bay
Final Score- 38-28 Tampa Bay
Wow...Wow...Im in shock. This is no doubt the upset of the year so far. Still wow, Tampa Bay played great and officially ended any chances of a winless team this year...wow. Now let's see next week if Josh Freemen is maybe the best of the 3 QB dratfs this year.
Grades
Tampa Bay (B) The offense finally looked alive, but there is still adjustments to be made on defense, luckily they have a year for that.
Green Bay (D+) They didn't look terrible on offense. Even their defense played well for the most part, 3 touchdowns were because of defense and special teams. So why did i give them a D? Because they did this against the Bucs
Carolina at New Orleans
My Score Prediction- 35-20 New Orleans
Final Score 30-20 New Orleans
So the Panthers were up 17-0 if im correct, and then they choked. Even though it was against the Saints powerful offense, they played so well at the beggining and then just gave up. It was kinda like the Bengals game only the defense didn't play well. In the end, the Saints put up 30 again, something they have done all but one game this season.
Grades
Saints (B-) They gave all the fans a heart attack at the beggining, but as I said before, it matters how you finish.
Carolina (C) Come on...FINISH THE GAME. They started so well, and just let it all go away. Deangelo played so well, and they just let the saints march all over them near the end.
Detroit at Seattle
My Predicted Score- 30-14 Seahawks
Final Score- 32-20
It was alot like the Carolina game, only it was Detroit. They actually really need to win a game. The fans are getting upset and the team is looking even worse ever since their win. I would have been pretty pissed if I saw my team go down after being up 17-0. Anyway another choke, another win.
Grades
Seahawks- (B-) They never gave up, and it proved to actually work. Their defense came through and the offense got itself back together after its bad start.
Lions (D) Not a bad grade for the Lions, its just what you'd expect. However in the beggining they actually looked like a professional football game.
San Diego at Giants
Just check out my recap.
Tennessee at San Francisco
My Predicted Score- 27-24 San Francisco
Final Score 34-27
This was a great game. All thats needed to say. Came down to the very last plays, but in the end Tennessee won its second straight. Is Vince Young all this team really needed? Well one thing that wasn't new was Chris Johnson playing great, rushing for 135 yards. One thing that improved for the Titans was their pass defense, picking off Alex Smith 3 times.
Grades
Tennessee (B) They looked great on offense, but the defense, despite getting 3 picks, still let up 27 points.
San Francisco (C+) They just aren't the same team from the beggining of the year, but it seems that they are only a few positions away from a playoff team.
Dallas at Philadelphia
My Predicted Score- 38-25 Philadeplhia
Final Score 20-16 Cowboys
Ok after this game im officially upset, what's up with all the high scoring offensive games being low scores. But what upset me more is why couldn't the Cowboys get good against the Broncos? Next thing you know the Broncos Steelers game will be 45-42... let's just see.
Grades
Cowboys (A-) They played good defense, but the offense wasn't nearly as explosive as you'd expect, then again the Eagles have a great defense.
Eagles (B) They didn't score enough touchdowns, you can't expect to win when you score one touchdown.
Thanks for reading guys, and go Steelers tonight.
