My NFL Thoughts after Week 3

Well three weeks are in the books in the NFL season.  Fall is upon us.  Lets start with my beloved Rams...

Not sure if Bradford is the answer

Austin making great catch in the Endzone

This was suppose to be the year they compete in the West.  After the Week one win against the Cardinals, a win that was expected, they traveled to Atlanta to face the Falcons.  Now I wasn't expecting them to win this game...and they didn't, but they played a tough game, coming back to make it very interesting.  After going down 21-0 to the Falcons they scored 21 points in the second half, 14 in the 4th quarter including Tevon Austin's 2nd TD catch of the game for 10 yards from Bradford to make it 31-24 with 4 minutes to go.  Unfortunately they were not able to complete the comeback. 

Murray just loves the Rams

So then they face a key span of 2 games; at Dallas and then home to face the 49ers.  It was time for the Rams to make a statement to the NFL that this was not the same old Rams.  It was time to let the NFL know the Rams have arrived and were a bona fide playoff contender.  Well sorry to say that "Same Old Rams" still stands.  They go to Dallas and completely lay down.  DeMarco Murray loves the Rams.  His first start he rushed for over 250 yards.  This week he rushed for 175.  The Rams defense looked like a sieve.  They couldn't stop him at all.  Cowboys had their way with the Rams winning 31-7.  Embarrassing.  Now they play a very pissed off 49er team that lost at Seattle and then had the Colts come into San Francisco and punch them right in the neck.

Prick 1 and Prick 2

Seattle Seahawks are starting to look like the real deal.  And if they can get home field advantage in the playoffs, I can't see anyone beating them up there in Seattle with that wild crowd.  I don't know who I hate more.  the 49ers or Seahawks.  Pete Carroll or Jim Harbaugh.  Both drive me crazy....and seem to be arrogant pricks....



Miami Dolphins or Portland Breakers?

Tell you what...some surprise 3-0 teams that I see are in the AFC.  Kansas City Chiefs are one of them.  Looks like Any Reid really makes a difference, not to mention Alex Smith.  Not the most thrilling quarterback, but doesn't turn the ball over.  Andy's return to Philly really was a big game for the Chiefs in prime time...The second team is Miami.  The Dolphins are 3-0 with two impressive victories over two pretty good teams.  First on the road against Andrew Luck and the Colts and then in Miami over the Falcons.  Not too bad, but now comes a Monday night game in New Orleans.  This might be where the Dolphins come back to
earth...By the way, I still think the Dolphins' new uniforms look like something from the USFL....

Peyton Manning...what can I say about the Forehead you could show a movie on?  He has been incredible.  From his 7 TD performance on opening night against the Ravens he looks better than ever.  Watching him on Monday Night versus the Raiders calling out singles, barking out audibles completely picking apart defenses.  I especially loved the simple 13 yard TD pass to Orange Julius Thomas.  Manning yelled out singles calling out Charles Woodson as the "Mike" and boy was he right as Woodson moved in leaving Thomas wide open in the flat for an easy TD.  Its like watching an artist paint on the canvas, a musician creating music...okay I might have a man crush...

Omaha! Omaha! Hump Day!!
