Week 9 Thoughts
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 3:05 am
Here are some thoughts and observations with every game but one in the books for Week 9:
I'll start with something close to home - it's time for Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy to go in Green Bay. This is a poorly coached team with poor execution and a glaring lack of top-level talent. The two men responsible for those shortcomings are Thompson and McCarthy. With so many top head coaching candidates available after this season, now's the time for Green Bay to make the move. My ideal choice would be Bill Cowher.
Dear Chad Johnson - the dollar store is two blocks down and on the left.
I'm not going to lie - my man love for Chris Johnson could result in a restraining order being issued against me.
Welcome back Mike Sims-Walker.
Calvin Johnson owners spent the last month without their (allegedly) stud wide receiver and that is what they receive when he finally gets back on the field? Life sure isn't fair sometimes.
Hey look, Reggie Bush can still catch a ton of passes in a game.
I think Tom Brady and Randy Moss are on the same page again.
Memo to the Dallas Cowboys - you might want to consider scrapping the "We won't throw the ball to Miles Austin until the last few minutes of the game" plan. He's pretty good and should be getting the ball a lot more than he did Sunday night.
Remember when the San Francisco 49ers were considered a rising playoff team? That was a fun couple of weeks, wasn't it?
Think the Vikings picked a good week to have their bye?
Jake Delhomme not only started in the Super Bowl once, he nearly beat Tom Brady there. Try to remember that as you watch him now.
Hold on, Dallas Clark just caught another pass.
That sure was ugly Joe Flacco. Good thing you have the Browns coming up next week.
This one is for Ken Magner who I saw in Phoenix last week - Sack, didn't I tell you the Bengals were looking much stronger for this week's game than you thought?
It's painful watching LaDainian Tomlinson try to run these days. Absolutely painful.
The Patriots get the unbeaten Colts next week and the unbeaten Saints in Week 12. That's the kind of scheduling NFL fans should all appreciate.
Vince Young still can't throw but there's no denying the Titans are playing with more zest with him than they did with Kerry Collins. Again, though, his utter lack of passing ability makes him a liability that will be exploited against better teams than the Jaguars and 49ers.
Anquan Boldin wasn't happy he was inactive due to his ankle injury. It probably didn't help his mood that Arizona's offense looked as good as it has all season long without him.
