Ten Things About Today's Game
10. It was a be-au-ti-ful day for football, and a wonderful day to push the streak to 8-0.
It sure was and while the game itself was no thing of beauty, 8-0 is still 8-0. Your pictures are fantastic and I'd love to know the camera you use. Do you make a lot of camera adjustments or just have a fast shutter speed to prevent any distortion? I love Photobucket and use it for work.
9. The formula worked again. Stingy points on defense, just enough on offense, no critical turnovers, and forced a big turnover in the fourth quarter on special teams. Alex Smith had an OK day.
That pretty much sums it up except Alex Smith still continues to miss big throws and has cost us a TD in at least 5 games this year with bad misses. That throw to Fasano was an easy TD and he missed him by 10 feet, just like the miss to McGrath in the end zone a week or so ago. Smith is better than Cassel but he is no elite QB to rally you back from more than a TD down.
8. Eight guys caught passes, so we continue to spread the ball to anyone and everyone. Bowe only had one catch for seven yards, and that is very troubling.
I can't tell either if it's separation or speed but Bowe seems a step or two slower this year. I'm curious if he is playing heavier than years past. His blocking however has been stellar.
7. Eric Fisher had another bad game.
He has been a HUGE disappointment and I think he must be at the bottom of rankings for O-lineman. As the #1 overall pick he is a complete bust so far. Several people in the bar commented that he looks like a little pipsqueak and needs to bulk up. Too weak and too slow.....
6. Sean Smith had a very bad day.
He looked like he was out for a nice and relaxed Sunday stroll for most of the game. He seemed lost and playing with no intensity.
5. The player of the game was Derrick Johnson.
He made the first two tackles of the game and plays balls out 100% of the time. Just a great player.
4. Cleveland's offensive line did a very good job in pass protection.
They did a GREAT job in pass protection. Campbell had much more time to throw than Alex Smith did.
3. I think Colquitt's plant knee is still bothering him.
He's not been the same since and I agree.
2. I can't express my man love for Andy Reid enough.
I was in a different bar than normal and there were a lot of Eagles fans and they all said to me, "You must be glad we gave you Andy Reid, I'm sorry Andy left, I always loved Andy Reid." He still has a lot of respect from the fans in Philly
1. As for that cheap shot douche bag Stevie Johnson, I hope Eric Berry knocks the day living crap out of him. How great would 9-0 be? It would be be-au-ti-ful!
It sure would and I HATE Buffalo as much as I hate any other team because they always piss on us. It's time to turn the tide!
