NFL Brief- Week 4

Pretty sure Brett Favre read last weeks recap every night before bed, and used it as motivation for Sundays career high 6 TD performance. Last week I wrote, "With three weeks complete in the NFL season nobody is talking about Tom Brady (injured), Peyton Manning (winless at home), or Brett Favre (washed-up)." Rumor has it in the post game press conference, Favre was quoted as saying, "This game is dedicated to Mark Hebert who recently called me washed up!" Brett, I take it back, for this week at least. This game that showed an extreme lack of defense, gun-slinging throws, and TD after TD, only to have late in the fourth quarter, one of my favorite players, WR Anquan Boldin getting knocked unconcious on a hit that has caused Jet Safety Eric Smith a 1 game suspension and a $50,000 fine. Boldin is home resting after being decorated in the end zone.

Elsewhere, in what I thought was the game of the week and aslo the worst coached game of the season.. DAAAAA Bears vs. the E-A-G-L-ES Eagles Sunday nighter from Solider field. The Eagles, without stud RB Brian Westbrook (Ankle), Starting TE L.J. Smith (back), and the Big Kid RG Sean Andrews (depression or some other physical ailment), failed to score on the goal line with 4 tries and the Bears hung on behind Kyle Orton to beat the birds 24-20. Coach Andy Reid should take a brunt of this loss, as a questionable first half touchdown by Greg Olsen should have been challenged as it appeared by the time he got possesion of the ball he only managed to get one foot in the endzone. His second mistake was running the ball on consecutive downs on the goal line without even one play action pass play to get the stingy Bears D to bite. Instead they rushed the ball up the gut on consecutive plays and got stuffed like a thankgsiving turkey on each try. Tough loss for the birds, big win for DAAA Bears.

Patriots were off this week-- so I was at peace going undefeated.

Undefeated teams--- GGGG- Men, Titans, and the Bills cause we all know, "No body circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills."

Big Games next week- Stellers at Jaguars and Washington at Illadelphia (not a typo, just get your thug on)
