Hakkapeliitat, week 4
Looking reasonably good from a managerial perspective.
Though the opponent’s choice of wide receivers is downright scary - messieurs Williams from the Lions and the Jags have put in painfully good numbers. Fortunately offset by two key members of the Dallas offense - both Terry Glenn and Julius Jones hit sixes against the surprisingly inept Tennessee defense. The only black spot on the agenda was the even more inept Niners uphill struggle against lowly Kansas City, and Frank Gore’s continued drought.
The final nail of the victory was the game featured on Sunday Night Football: Bears vs. Seahawks. The perennially lowball Chicago team won over the last year’s superbowl finalists, and with a very convincing display of offense and defense. Seattle, of course, was hampered by the absence of Shaun Alexander, their greatest offensive weapon, but the receiving corps had a bad evening overall.
Unless Donald Driver and the Eagles defense screw something up Real Bad[tm] on Monday Night Football, this week ought to be a victory, the lead is comfortable.
The funkiest play of the week-award goes to the Jets, against the Colts. Such lateral fests are not seen often, and this one ends in a fumble. Fortunate for the Colts, less so for future attempts of such plays by worried coaches. They, and the quarterbacks, in an act to keep the game entertaining, sure ought to take risks - but not expect every attempt to end in the mirth of the legendary Stanford vs. Cal game of 1982 - even the transcript of the last down is hysterical (and unlike the previous reference, the wikipedia entry does provide links to live footage).
