NFL Week 9


On the sexy back of Peyton Hillis, pictured above, the Browns stun the Patriots in a big win. Hillis had an amazing day where he just ran all over New England and kept the Brady offense from ever getting on the field to catch up. I'm very hopeful, perhaps too much, that if the Browns can get the win against the Jets; this could be the start of an epic play off run. They would obviously need help from Baltimore and Steelers but its not impossible. I need something to believe in! Patriots, I hope, will rebound and beat on the Steelers next week.

Texans lose another game, this time to the surging Chargers, and drops them to 4 and 4. The game against the Jaguars is really important, its basically a must win game if they want to have some control over their destiny. They did get a really awful call that cost them a touchdown, which would have turned the game in their favor. I'm not real optimistic right now, the defense is not performing well enough for them to win.

Wade Phillips gets fired, finally, after the Cowboys get utterly ruined by the Packers at home. I'm kinda sad about it, as I've enjoyed this era of the Cowboys constantly under performing. They will now get a good coach and turn things around, well maybe, Jerry Jones is still there...meddling around.

Everything is Bigger in Texas, even the loses


Jason Witten, here with his son, is the only thing I actually like about the Cowboys. I only really feel bad about their 1-5 season because he is a good guy, not to mention handsome.

So Monday Night Football has come and gone, but it had a major impact. Superbowl hopes were already on the ropes with their terrible start but NFC east rivals, Giants, k.o.ed them. The NY Giants sacked and broke their starting QB, Tony Romo, and thus broke their team. It doesn't take a lot for Cowboy fans to hate Giants fans but I would have to think that rivalry has gone from hate to flat out death wish on your family. The Giants not only kill your Superbowl dreams, but they also have the first official win your new billion dollar stadium from last year.

Its probably not smart to totally write them off, they are very talented or so I'm told. I just don't see Kitna being able to rally that team, which doesn't seem to have any leadership and Wade Phillips doesn't strike me as someone who inspires his team to greatness.

Oh well, Witten is still attractive.
