Busy weekend in Football..What I saw-What you should know
CHARGERS…Justin Herbert makes plays down the field. The defense has been stout. They are (6-3). Now they go play real people starting next Sunday. Joe Burrow-Bengals..Lamar Jackson-Ravens..Kirk Cousins-Atlanta..Patrick Mahomes-Chiefs…Baker Mayfield-Bucs. Worried about the continued injury issues with Joey Bosa-Khalil Mack.
RAMS..Great matchup on Monday Night with the Miami Dolphins. Big key, all the injured offensive lineman are now back off the injured reserve list. Sean McVay has this young defense playing on the emotional edge.
DALLAS COWBOYS…Sure looks like the end of the world at Jerry’s World. Dak Prescott is facing hamstring surgery. The defense has been destroyed by injuries. They don’t have a running game. This is a messy season.
WASHINGTON…The kid QB-Jayden Daniels held up against the Steelers defense even in a loss. They are still (7-3). Anybody miss Daniel Snyder’s ownership?
STEELERS..Can you believe this team, this defense, the re-emergence of Russell Wilson and the arrival WR-Mike Williams adds zip to the offense.
TENNESSEE…Boy the Titans play hard on defense but that offense is way behind the power curve.
RAIDERS…Great weekend..they didn’t lose, because they did not play. Still have the QB issues though, a talent level roster problem, and a mouthy head coach..
CHIEFS..Unbeaten because of the Mahomes factor. Defense plays hard. But not as explosive on offense yet, so they could be had still. 8-of those 9-wins, come from behind efforts.
RAVENS..A complete team, so dangerous with Lamar Jackson, the WRs, the TEs and Derrick Henry, even if last Thursday’s win was tainted by blown officials calls.
BENGALS…Joe Burrow is having a spectacular season but does not have enough help around him, aside from his WR-group.
CLEVELAND..Just awful, the QB situation, the roster, the waste of a good defense, and the ownership.
GIANTS..Housecleaning coming and might include overwhelmed QB-Daniel Jones. Cannot get much worse, can it?
JETS..Speaking of bad in the Big Apple, can you believe a (3-7) record with Aaron Rodgers as QB? The more I watch this, the more I think how it ended so badly for another ex-Packer QB-Brett Favre, at the Meadowlands with the same team.
BILLS..Josh Allen doing it all and the defense is getting better and better.
COLTS..Looks like the world has caught up QB-Joe Flacco finally. Bunch of turnovers two weeks in a row, and Anthony Richardson looks lost at QB but they may have to go back to him.
BEARS…Caleb Williams-runs hot then cold. Now 3-losses in a row and no TDs in their last 23-possessions. Offensive front battered by injuries is the reason why.
49ers..Toughing it out with all the injuries, but what a statistical season for QB-Brock Purdy.
MINNESOTA..Votes of confidence for QB-Sam Darnold, but he now has 13-turnovers on the season and they are mounting up.
TAMPA..Baker Mayfield has lost his WRs and this will get harder week by week.
EAGLES..This is what we thought they could be, this tandem of Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley and a vibrant offense. Now the defense is playing better.
ARIZONA..What a job building the defense by 2nd year coach Jonathon Gannon and Kyler Murray has quit scrambling so much, is healthy and the offense is dangerous.
MIAMI..Who knows how long Tua Tagovailoa can stay on the field. The big play offense has yet to return.
CAROLINA…A couple of wins in a row, but QB-Bryce Young looks undersized.
PATRIOTS..A 9-sack outing from the defense. QB-Drake Maye is big and fiesty and doing alot by himself.
SAINTS..Injuries wrecked the season, but they pull off this upset over Atlanta.
FALCONS..Still think Kirk Cousins and that big play offense will be something to deal with heading towards the postseason.
BRONCOS..What a job Sean Payton is doing fixing the Broncos. Defense plays really hard, and now it looks like the WR-group is becoming dangerous around do-everything QB-Bob Nix.
JAGUARS..Now (2-8) and Trevor Lawrence now gone for the rest of the season. The coaching staff could be gone too.
LIONS..On everyone’s hit list, but Jared Goff is playing best of his career with a (114-rating)..Then came a 5-interception night in Houston only to be saved by his field goal kicker…they are (8-1) and for real.
HOUSTON…Can they survive the injury barrage at WR. Joe Mixon at running back may have to save the season and his QB-CJ Stroud. The Texans defense is taking on water too with injuries. Gut wrenching loss.
PACKERS..A week off helps Jordan Love get back to 100-percent health.
SEATTLE..A week off does not make things better for Geno Smith-he still does not have enough around him in pass protection or on defense.
