Just like how the 71’ Dolphins are always brought back to protect their undefeated season when a current team gets close to breaking the record the Lions might be the same in protecting their winless season. 10 years from now, the Bengals might be 0-15 and we will have Sportscenter specials and will bring back Calvin Johnson. Johnson will state how there is no way the Bengals will share the title that the Lions will hold forever and that is being the only team to be winless in an entire season.
Take that Mercury Morris.
Tavaris Jackson scored a touchdown on Sunday for every 4.25 attempts. Before that it was a touchdown every 34.2 attempts. He had 4 touchdowns, and Adrian Peterson had 0. Talk about stealing the show.
If I was a playoff team in the NFC, I would be hoping to meet Arizona, and in the AFC I hope that I go up against the Broncos.
The tough call in the Steelers game makes you wonder how we have gone so long without replay. It is almost like wondering how we lived without cell phones. I wonder how many blown calls were made undetected before replay was implemented. All I know is I do not want to be a ref.
I believe that the Titan’s loss had more to do with how hot the Texans have been playing than the Titans just giving up a game. The Texans are improving drastically and their offense is starting to become very scary.
Jeff Fisher stated that the wind was a factor, in his decision to go for it on 4th and 3 instead of kicking the field goal while being down 12 – 13. Although I don’t think a fade down the sideline is a good decision either.
Could Leon Washington and Darren Sproles be starting backs for a NFL team? They have tremendous talent.
What an amazing finish in the Chargers and Chiefs game. First the Chargers are going to lose, then they are going to win, now they might lose, but then they end up winning. Did you catch all of that? Santa came early when the Chiefs gift wrapped the win, with a missed field goal that would’ve put them up for good.
Talk about gifts, J.P. Losman was King Santa Clause if there was such a thing. With the Bills holding a 3 point lead, he dropped back to pass for some odd reason and fumbled the ball. The Jets went to take it into the end zone. The Bills got it back twice after that with Losman throwing some picks to end the game. Remember the article about drafting the worst players for the best score, Losman is the waiver pick up of the week.
Lets take a look at the possible running back candidates for the Pro Bowl. First the AFC is clear. Thomas Jones, Steve Slaton and Chris Johnson should be in. Amazing that 2 rookies top the list. Now who is the alternate……..Ladanian Tomlinson…Yuck. Yes, he is actually 4th in the AFC in rushing yards, with nobody in the rearview mirror. MJD could make a good argument, but how LT is that high nobody knows.
The NFC running back situation is stacked. Adrian Peterson and Michael Turner may be a lock for the Pro Bowl, but after that it becomes unclear. How about DeAngelo Williams who has exploded as of late, or it has to be Clinton Portis who was a MVP candidate. You can not count out the trusty Westbrook or even Brandon Jacobs.
It is going to be hard for people to give LT a chance in next year’s draft. Sure one season will not negate his legacy but we only remember what people have done for us lately and LT has dropped faster than the stock market.
