Monday Morning Countdown

A few items before getting to the countdown...

First, a tip of the hat to the Jacksonville coaching staff. Using the "if it ain't broke, fix it" philosophy, they shunned the tapes of the 49ers shutting down the Cardinals vertical game and used their own defensive scheme.
Result: No sacks, no interceptions, and a 92% completion rate for Warner.

After having beaten Cincy and Cleveland, Denver is the King of Ohio.

The NFL Channel said yesterday that Drew Brees set a modern NFL record by starting the season with nine touchdown passes in two games. They went on to say that the last quarterback to throw nine td passes in the first two games was Charley Johnson in 1965.
Being a baseball guy, I know that modern day baseball records start in 1900, when do modern football records start?

This just sounds boring, I can't imagine watching the game...The Redskins had zero interceptions, zero fumbles, zero touchdowns, two punts, and three field goals......and won

--------------------------------------------------

10- The number of times Aaron Rodgers has been sacked this year. Half of those were yesterday by Antwan Odom. There is no truth to the rumor that the Bengals awarded a game ball to the Packer offensive lineman who didn't block Odom

9- Points scored by New England and also the number of runs scored on the same day by the Boston RedSox.
Good for baseball, not good for football

8- Scores for the Saints. Giving them 15 in two weeks. The Rams have 7 POINTS.

7- Oakland completions...and they won...Al Davis must be turning over in his....Oh...still?...never mind

6- Receptions by Derek Schouman... I had to look up his first name

5- Johnson touchdowns in one game. Insert your own johnson joke here.

4- Touchdowns by Adrian Peterson, Frank Gore, and Willis McGahee this year. McGahee had seven all last year.

3- Hyphen-ated names in the Jacksonville-Arizona game. Jones-Drew, Sims-Walker ,Stephens-Howling. Did these guys marry celebrities? How soon before we get cool hyphen-ated names like Walker-TexasRanger?

2- Kurt Warner incompletions. He probably had more in warm-ups, not to insinuate that the Jaguar defense was NOT better than nothing.

1- One catch, one yard, one touchdown for Shiancoe. These stats and ownership of Shiancoe should let you know if you are a "glass half-full guy" or a "glass half-empty" guy.

0- The number of interceptions, fumble recoveries, and sacks for the Cowboys this year.
They've faced two offensive juggernauts in the Buccaneers and Giants.

-4 The Cowboys turnover ratio. If an errant whistle wouldn't have blown another Giants return for an interception last night, Romo would have had 127 yards passing to the Cowboys and 82 yards passing to the Giants.EOE

A couple of footnotes:

I can go back to forgetting Schouman's name.

If Rodgers continues getting sacked at that pace, Jennings owners will continue to suffer.
Hmmm, in individual defensive player leagues, make offensive linemen fantasy relevant by giving them a point for every 30 yards of rushing and minus one for every sack?

Dallas led the league in sacks last year.
A bumper sticker-
Where, oh where, is Ware?

If Javon Walker changed his name to Javon Walker-Texas Ranger I would pick him up in every league I'm in and start him for the remainder of the season regardless of whether he played or not.

I'm dead serious.

I'm dead serious. LOL
Mike Sims-Walker-TexasRanger would give us the ultimate. A double hyphenated cool name who is actually fantasy viable.

Where, oh where, is Ware? When you make Steve Smith look like the other Steve Smith, you've got issues. And who takes on Dallas this week - none other than the other Steve Smith.

I enjoy reading these too. Quite entertaining.

We'll have Steve Smith and Ahmad going for us this week. If the Giants are gonna throw that much, perhaps Ahmad will be on the field more than Jacobs?

Yeah, it's good to have Doughboys posting on the NFFC boards now too. Dan and guys like Wayne Edwards and Kent Stermon are NFBC lifers who are trying football for the first time in many moons and having a little fun with it. We're glad to have all of them posting on the NFFC boards and enjoying the online leagues they entered. Maybe with a little success, we'll get Dan and the gang at the live events next year.

Keep up the good work Dan. You will be rewarded with drink tickets when we hook up in March at the NFBC live drafts!!
