Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL - Week 5

[Kidlicious]

Look at all the talent on the Rams. Those guys have a few more productive years left. Martz should be doing much better than he is, but because the Rams have so much talent (and seem to have a good ability to aquire it) they will continue to at least be mediocre, and mediocre teams sell tickets. That's all owners and managers care about.

[Ming]

You would think that Faulk is too old based on the few times he gets him the ball...

[Kidlicious]

Have you seen him this year? I don't think that's true at all. He has made some amazing conversions for example where I think few backs could have. LBs are still all over him though. It's amazing. That's a huge reason why Bulger has been so successfull and Martz keeps to the air.

[Ming]

I've been following the Rams closely because I have Bulger in a fantasy league... and as much as I like the air circus, they just aren't running enough. You see defenses just lining up for the pass... ignoring the run.
Faulk has plenty left in him, but you would never know because he barely gets the ball anymore.

[Kidlicious]

Well if you look at the game against the Saints. They had 3 line backers in on just about every possible running play and they were watching Faulk like a hawk. Martz was completely justified in going to the air for most of the game.

The game against Atlanta I didn't see. It's kind of hard to run against blitzing CBs. That loss wasn't really Faulks fault. Bulger fumbled and threw an interception. The game against Arizona Faulk went over 100 yards.

Now, if the Rams can win tonight, then all of my football teams will have won this weekend.

I'd like to wring Walt Coleman's neck right about now. Thanks for handing Denver the game on a silver platter, *******!

/me sighs

Ah well. I guess I'll take solace in the refreshing fact that the New Orleans Saints still suck.

I the colts

What the hell is up with this week?

Titans are 1-3 after losing to the Chargers (and the Titans threw 58 times), Giants (now an amazing 3-1) beat Green Bay (who go to 1-3), Atlanta are 4-0, Arizona beat New Orleans and Emmitt Smith gets a 100 yard rushing game, and San Francisco scored some points.

Meh.

All I can say is that the Colts are going into the rest of the season with a ton of momentum after beating the Titans, Green Bay and Jacksonville.

[Dis]

Titans were without McNair. something I did not know before I made my picks (for work- not here.we can win up to $200 at work)

as for the Colts. I really don't love the Colts. But i have been a huge fan of Peyton Manning since he came into the league. I want them to win this year, because Manning deserves one. I hate to see such a good QB not win the superbowl (like Marino)

Why is Manning so good? Just look at last weeks game. Did anyone see him milk that clock down to 2:00 minutes in the 4th quarter of that game? He had everyone lined up and was pretending he was going to run a play at around 2:30 remaining. And held the line in place for 30 seconds. You have to credit the O-line as well. Not easy doing that without a false start penalty. He is a smart QB, that's why I want to see him win. He can run an excellent 2 minute drill. And is great at calling audibles. His hurry up offense is excellent as well.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Jacksonville, even though they lost looked GOOD today. Great defense and Leftwich was passing really well. When that running game gets working that offense will look nice later this season.

Oh, and Atlanta 4-0!



Vick didn't have a good game, but Dunn/Duckett played well and that swarming, dominating defense played well AGAIN. They could be the best defense in the NFC!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Btw, the most AMAZING thing that happened today was in the Green Bay / NY Giants game.

Brett Farve suffers a concussion
He stays out for 2 plays
Before the doctor can say he can't play again, he waives HIMSELF onto the field
On 4th and 5
And throws a 35 yard TD pass on his FIRST play after coming back in
And then is held out for the rest of the game because he's had a concussion for the past 5 minutes.

This man is simply UNREAL!

And he's also a pr1ck, which is an excellent reason for me to root against them every week.
