Giants Crumble the Cheeseheads, Falcons Beat Bucs and More

The Sunday Night match up yesterday wasn't really a game so much as a beat down. The Packers wanted to win their postseason rematch vs. the Giants but New York wouldn't have any of it. The G-Men started to separate themselves from the Packers late in the 1st quarter and just continued into the 2nd quarter. Two more TDs by the G-Men in that quarter put them up by 21 at the half. One more TD for New York was all that was scored the rest of the game and the Giants put the Packers down 38-10. Eli Manning threw 3 TDs in this game while Aaron Rodgers threw one TD early and also an interception. Both teams are now 7-4.

Meanwhile, the Falcons took their questionable game play to Tampa to face the Buccaneers. This game featured a neck and neck game that went down to the final seconds as the Falcons barely make it out of central Florida with a 24-23 win. Atlanta scored the game winning TD with a Michael Turner 3 yard TD run in the middle of the 4th quarter. A FG miss for both sides afterwards put the end to this game. Falcons are now 10-1 while the Bucs fall to 6-5.

Tampa Bay, however, do not loss any ground in their Wild Card hunt. The Seahawks lose to the Dolphins 24-21 which keeps them at 6-5. So does Minnesota with their 28-10 loss to the Chicago Bears. True, Washington crept a step closer winning their game over Dallas on Thanksgiving but New Orleans 31-21 loss to San Francisco means they don't tie with the Bucs. So Seattle, Tampa, and Minnesota remain tied at 6-5 fighting for that 6th Wild Card spot.

Also, how does San Diego let Ray Rice convert a 4th and 29 on a dump play like that late in the game. The Ravens get the game tying FG as a result and then win it in OT 16-13. Someone fire Norv Turner now. He and Lane Kiffin never deserved their jobs. THAT'S RIGHT, LANE, I'M CALLING YOUR BS YOU CALL HEAD COACHING SKILLS OUT TWO DAYS IN A ROW!!!

Cowboys Beat Eagles in the Battle of Disapointments and More

As week 10 in the NFL began, two teams stood out among the rest as underachievers, jokes, and all around embarrassments. These two were the Cowboys and the Eagles. Both entered this week at 3-5 and both were looking to keep their seasons alive and avoid media scrutiny.

The game between these two stay close for a bit even when Michael Vick had to leave because of a concussion sustained in the 2nd quarter. Nick Foles came in and was average. The Cowboys, however, started to pull away in the 4th quarter with Dwayne Harris getting a 78 yard punt return for a TD. Then Foles threw an interception that was returned for a 47 yard TD by Brandon Carr. The Eagles did get a TD (missing the extra point) to make it an 8 point game but failed a comeback as Nick Foles was sacked in his own end zone fumbling the ball and being recovered by Jason Hatcher for a Cowboys TD. Cowboys win it 38-23. Cowboys are now 4-5 and the Eagles fall to 3-6 with Andy Reid starting to look for a new job on Craigslist.

As for the other games across the league, the Texans go to Chicago on Sunday night and beat the Bears 13-6. Jay Cutler left the game with a concussion leaving the Bears with no offense. Didn't stop him from throwing 2 INTs before he left, though. Giants get shocked by the Bengals in Cincy 31-13. Giants committed 4 turnovers including 2 INTs by Eli Manning. The Falcons are no longer undefeated as the Saints hold on to beat them 31-27. Can you hear the annoying cork popping by the '72 Dolphins? Last one I'll mention is that the Seahawks beat the Jets 28-7. Jets look awful again while the Seahawks still haven't lost at home this season (5-0 at home).

Week 10 ends tomorrow night with the Chiefs playing the Steelers.

Cowboys Spoil Opener for G-Men and My Super Bowl XLVII Pick (Please Let Me Be Right)

Finally kickoff is here and the football season can begin.

Because of the President's speech being tomorrow night, the NFL season kicked off tonight as planned and started in New Jersey with the Dallas Cowboys going against the New York Giants. These two teams played at the end of the last season which had the Giants going into the playoffs and leaving the Cowboys eating their dust. What better way to get back at the Giants than spoiling their opening night.

Tony Romo remembered that night and played like heck to avenge it. After a less than average start to the game which included a INT, Romo rebounded and managed to lead the Cowboys down field for a TD pass to Kevin Ogletree with about a minute to go in the first half. Romo came out in the second half delivering two long TD passes in the 3rd and 4th quarter respectively with the one in the 4th being on a 1st and 30 play. The Giants would score to put it within seven but the Cowboys got the ball back and managed to kill the clock off. Cowboys win the first NFL game of the season 24-17.

Truly a phenomenal performance by Romo and the Cowboys all around. A shaky start for the team and quite a few penalties as well (13) but they managed to exploit the secondary and win the game. Kevin Ogletree made a name for himself tonight in the process catching 8 balls for 114 yards and 2 TDs. As for the Giants, time to stop celebrating and get back to the chalk board. Also, look the ball into your hands, Victor Cruz.

The season starts and who am I picking to win the Super Bowl? I'm going hometown favorite on this pick and choosing the San Francisco 49ers over the Houston Texans to win the Super Bowl. There is no way to say this isn't a bias pick. All I can say is that I am a pessimist at heart and as I make this pick, I don't believe the 49ers will win the Super Bowl. YES, I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY!!!

I'm basically trying to fight my negative side to make this pick. GO NINERS!!!

P.S. Them or the Eagles. DAMN IT!!!
