Random Thoughts on Week 15

Filed under: NFL — Drew @ 12:36 am

Cleveland_Browns_at_Baltimore_Ravens

  • Charlie Frye doesn’t really have a shot at getting his job back. He came close to being the first QB to get two Offensive Coordinators fired during the same season.

Cincinnati_Bengals_at_Indianapolis_Colts

  • Just when I was ready to anoint the Bengals as the AFC rep in the Super Bowl, they lay an egg.
  • Cincy has some real issues along the O-line and cannot rely on Carson if the Defense gets even the slightest amount of pressure on him. Maybe he isn’t healed as much as people claim.
  • Freeney still knows how to get to the QB.

Dallas_Cowboys_at_Atlanta_Falcons

  • What happened to the D in Dallas? They are getting shreaded left and right, but still people pick them over the Bears.

Denver_Broncos_at_Arizona_Cardinals

  • If Denver doesn’t make the playoffs, blame Shanahan. He should have left Plummer in AZ. Or at least gave Cutler a shot earlier in the season.
  • Denny Green deserves another year. The wins aren’t there, yet, but he has actually put AZ on the NFL map. They have a lot of potential on Offense and he has proven that he can convince a free agent or two to sign with the Cards.

Detroit_Lions_at_Green_Bay_Packers

  • Can the Lions look any worse? Just watch them flush this season down the drain by winning a game and “losing” the #1 pick in the draft.
  • Favre needs to retire. Sure he can still sling the rock, but hell so can Jeff George, Bledsoe and Vinny.

Houston_Texans_at_New_England_Patriots

  • Ron Dayne hasn’t looked this good since he was at Wisconsin. Maybe Kubiak can get him to play up to his college resume.
  • The Patriots make the most out of what they have. A Super Bowl is not in the future, but they will be a tough matchup for any playoff team.

Jacksonville_Jaguars_at_Tennessee_Titans

  • Jacksonville is the poster child for the state of the NFL. Just when you think they are solid, they spot a team 21 points.
  • Jeff Fischer should get some consideration for Coach of the Year. I still cannot believe the Titans are 7-7.

Kansas_City_Chiefs_at_San_Diego_Chargers

  • I really wanted Herm to lead the Chiefs into the playoffs his first year, but they do not look worthy.
  • I thought Barry Sanders was the best RB ever, but LT is slowly making me put his name into the conversation. Lets see what he does for an encore next year.
  • San Diego will be disappointed if they have to rely on Rivers to win them a playoff game.

New_York_Jets_at_Minnesota_Vikings

  • Did it really take Childress this long to realize he needs a QB?
  • Coles is one of the most underrated WRs in the league.

Philadelphia_Eagles_at_New_York_Giants

  • Here is a snippet from a phone coversation between Eli and Archie:
  • “Son” - Archie
  • “Yes, Dad. Did you watch the game?” - Eli
  • “Yes. Me and your mom were talking.”
  • “About the game?”
  • “Yes. And we had an idea that may help you out.”
  • “Aw, shucks. What? I can use the advice.”
  • “We think you should change your last name to Bledsoe or Batch.”

Pittsburgh_Steelers_at_Carolina_Panthers

  • The Panthers suck.
  • The Steelers didn’t get the memo. They thought the season started just 6 weeks ago.

St_Louis_Rams_at_Oakland_Raiders

  • The Raiders Defense is actually pretty good. Surprising given that their “stars” are on Offense.
  • Marshall will not be a Ram next year.

Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers_at_Chicago_Bears

  • Gruden should be fired. His only success was with Dungy’s players and he waited til they secured a top 5 pick before putting Rattay in the lineup.
  • Rex has enough to get Chicago to the Super Bowl. But the question is, Does the D have enough left to get to the Super Bowl?

Washington_Redskins_at_New_Orleans_Saints

  • The Saints will not win in Soldier Field.
