Absolutely unreal - 35 points - that missed xpoint is so huge now...knew it when he missed it...come on Wash put a drive together...this is sickening how conservative the teams got last half of 3rd quarter and entir 4th - it's like nobody wants to take a shot to win it - Minny could have gotten 7 if they wanted to that last drive...
My favorite pick of the week came through with San Diego rolling Oakland - I just can't understand what the Raiders are thinking w/ Art Shell - the guy doesn't do anything but sit there and look clueless on the sidelines - you think they would have learned 10 years ago the guy is useless as a coach - and Aaron Brooks - wow he looked clueless as well...Lamont Jordan 10 carries? They never ran it enough last year - this was not a good start - and didn't even let Jordan catch anything out of the backfield. Fade the Raiders big time this year - anxioous to see what the Raven D will do to this Oakland offense! However i think Balt already 9 point faves - i like them to win but this spead may be an overreaction due to both the Ravens and Oakland performances...but I don't see how Oakland puts up many points against Balt...Balt may actually cover the 9...
Was a measley point away from going 2-0...i thought i had the Wash/Minny game capped correctly...at halftime they did have 22 points on the board, just needed 14 more...only scored 6 points in last 19 minutes of game...that missed extra point was costly, as was Hall's FG that was makeable - but of course this is John Hall who loves to choke...that's how it goes though i would probably estimate 35% of all games have those few mistakes that cause a result to go either way - in the long run we will benefit and not benefit from them equally...but losing by the hook was kind of a "bad beat"...
Alright good luck - we'll get 'em again next week..
