2009 NFL Week 15 Game Recaps

Colts 35, Jaguars 31 This loss is the end of the 2009 Jaguars. I know they can win out and finish 9-7, but they put everything into this game. The fans actually showed up for the first time all year; the team played way above standards; Jack Del Rio and Dirk Koetter actually got the…

2010 NFL Week 6 Game Recaps

Rams 20, Chargers 17 San Diego’s first road loss was just a fluke. The rain was coming down, Arrowhead was loud, and the Chiefs hit three big plays. OK… San Diego’s second road loss happened because of two kickoff returns for Seattle. That can’t possibly happen again, so let’s write that off. All right… San…

2009 NFL Week 8 Review

Ravens 30, Broncos 7 With Baltimore’s poor secondary play, all the talk this past week was how rookie corner Laradarius Webb was going to get more defensive looks. Webb didn’t contribute on defense, but he essentially won the game for the Ravens. Coming out of halftime, Baltimore held a slim 6-0 lead. Webb made it…

2009 NFL Week 3 Review

Ravens 34, Browns 3 The Ravens did a great job scheduling the Browns for their homecoming game. The 34-3 score doesn’t really tell you how much Baltimore dominated. The team outgained Cleveland 479 to 186, and beat the Browns on first downs, 28-11. Of course, it didn’t help that the Browns gave the Ravens four…

2009 NFL Week 18 Game Recaps

Jets 24, Bengals 14 I’m disgusted, so let’s try something different. Here are eight goats in this game for each of the eight units that I lost: 8. Steve Weatherford: The punter for the Jets couldn’t play because he was apparently “too ill.” What does that mean? You’re too ill to punt? Just go back…

2009 NFL Week 20 Game Recaps

Colts 30, Jets 17 It’s really amazing how different the first 28 minutes of this game were compared to the final 32 minutes. The Jets led 17-6. They were hitting big plays against a sloppy Colts defense, and Peyton Manning was dancing around in the pocket as if he were battling the Chargers. New York…

2008 NFL Week 9 Review

Jets 26, Bills 17 It’s official: Eric Mangini has no idea what he’s doing. The Jets stopped the Bills on third-and-11. Buffalo was penalized five yards. Though he had the option of declining the penalty and forcing a field goal, Mangini, in his infinite wisdom, pushed Buffalo back to make the kick tougher. Instead, Trent…

2008 NFL Week 5 Review

Panthers 34, Chiefs 0 The Chiefs are comical. The fact that they were outgained by 315 yards doesn’t even tell the whole story. In the third quarter, the Chiefs kept the game alive, intercepting Jake Delhomme in the end zone, down 21-0. Damon Huard tossed a pick on the very next play. It’s tough to…

2008 NFL Week 16 Review

Colts 31, Jaguars 24 When you handicap a game perfectly and watch the unbelievable happen, it can be tough. When it happens a few times a season, it’s sickening. And when it happens as much as it has occurred to me this year, it’s time to keep the car running in the garage. You’re not…
