Week 14 in Review

Week 14 was pretty exciting, especially with the roof collapse in Minneapolis. Did you see the footage of the roof collapse? I was scared. (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/minneapolis-metrodome-collapses-during-snowstorm-121210). That was the theme of the day; being scared. I am scared of how good the Patriots are after seeing them score 81 points in 2 weeks. I am scared of the Steelers Defense. They were ridiculous in their defense. Granted that it was against the Bengals, for the 3rd straight week they held their opponents under 16 points (2nd in 3 weeks 10 or less). I am scared that for the 1st time in I can not remember, Peyton Manning will not be in the playoffs since the 2001 season and that was the only time that he was not in the playoffs (Jim Mora's famous rant of, "Playoffs!?! I hope we can win another game"). They are 1 game behind the Jaguars(?) who cam back from 10 down to beat the Raiders is a great game. Next week showdown will be the winner of the division and I think that Peyton Manning will want to show America and his team the reason why he is the reigning MVP. i am scared that the Buccaneers are good and are not going to go away. The Bucs came back again to win. I trust Jaaash Freeman (Josh Freeman; thanks Bill Simmons and Cousin Sal) and he had another comeback win and he defiantly wins football games. Although the Bucs are playing great football, the Falcons are the team to beat in the NFC south. At 11-2 they are debatably the 2nd or 3rd best team in the NFL right now and for sure the best team in the NFC. Matty Ice is a very real possibility for the MVP and if he shows us more flashes of his greatness, he will turn more heads before it is all said and done. The J-E-T-S are not as good as we thought they were. They are 9-4 and in all 4 losses they did not score a touchdown (Week 1, 9 points, Packers, 3 points, Patriots, 3 points, and this week against the Dolphins 6 points) Also 3 out of 4 of their losses are at home. That is the scariest part of it all. They keep losing at home and they are now the 5 seed in the playoffs and could possible go 10-6 instead of what Jets fans prematurely thought of a 13-3 season or something like that. They win too many close games and it finally came back to bite them. Mark Sanchez is not that good and football fans need to see that. I don't blame him for the home game. Santonio Holmes should have made the easiest catch in the history of the league and he just dropped it.  Finally, How 'bout the Cowboys! Should be 5 wins in a row but 4 out of 5 will have to do for now (thanks Roy Williams). Jason Garret has done a great job as the interim coach by putting more physicality in practices and therefore into the games. I said it a couple weeks ago but I love to reiterate it. On the flip side, the Eagles look out of sync on all cylinders. Michael Vick looks flustered and out of place (although making some great plays). The Eagles are not in trouble (for now) in terms of a playoff spot and if they keep struggling, the could lose home field and possibly the playoffs all together. Week 14 was a good week n Football and I hope to have an exciting Monday night game (2) tomorrow.
