Week 3 Rant

- Biggest surprise of the Saints victory over the Falcons...A Saints defense that held the high-octane Falcon offense to 3 points. The secret, using 3 safties to contain Michael Vick. It'll be intresting to see if future Falcon opponents use more 3 safety looks.

- Now I won't go into detail about the importance of the Super Dome reopening but I have to give the people of New Orleans credit, the Saints fan did an excellent job of providing a high energy enviornment, cudos.

- Part of the Falcons offensive woes were due to dropped passes. The most costly one came when Alge Crumpler dropped a wide open touchdown reception.

- Mark Brunell threw for an NFL record 22 consecutive completions in a game. Now I know the Texans suck but thats still hard to do against NFL competition.

- Nevertheless I can't help but be disappointed in the lack of touches for Moss, Llyod, and Cooley. If the Redskins want to have the offense their capable of then these guys are going to have to get involved.

- Which brings me to my favorite topic. The Texans. Now I know I keep giving this guy a hard time but Mario Williams still hasn't gotten his first sack. Its ridicoulous, here the Saints are sitting on top of their division 3-0 while the Texans are still looking for their first win. Nevertheless I think its fair to say that Williams has gone up against 3 quality O-Lines in the Colts, Eagles, and Redskins, but thats why they drafted him. To make an impact no matter whos blocking him. Ironically I'm rooting for Mario but I can't help but kick myself when I think back to the draft..."With the first pick in the NFL Draft the Houston Texans select Mario Williams.." Oh well I guess ignorance is bliss.

- All right enough Texan bashing.

- The Falcons are really starting to miss John Abraham.

- Even though their 1

-2 the Bills are still competing. Personally this team is almost as surprising as 3-0 Saints and I can only hope that they can keep up the good work. I'll admit I have a soft spot in my heart for teams that come to play despite being the odds on favorite to lose every other week.

- The Jets are 2-1 but without a ground game they'll only go so far. Still pretty good for a team thats suppose to be in rebuilding mode.

- Where are all the Super Bowl contenders? So far no team has set itself ahead of the pack. Here lets observe:
- Colts - No running game
- Ravens - Good offense but 15 points vs the Browns isn't going to cut it
- Chargers - Philip Rivers hasn't faced a good defense yet.
- Bears - Best team they've faced is the Vikings, we'll need to see more
- Seahawks - Please see Colts
- Bengals - Players keep getting arrested

- Good job Odell.

- So far Matt Hasselback, Drew Brees, and Donovan McNabb are looking like the early favorites to represent the NFC in the Pro-Bowl.
- How the hell did the Dolphins only score 13 points agains the Titans?

- Also why is Seattle leaving players in when their up 35-3. They almost lost Hasselback as well as Alexander.

- The Giants are the best 4th quarter team in football, now if they could only play that way the other 3 quarters then they'd be unstoppable. Wait I'm a Redskins fan, scratch that.

- By the way, why is everyone outside of fantasy football making such a big deal about the loss of Shaun Alexander. If anything his injury is a blessing, now he'll get a chance to heal and hopefully come back as strong as ever. Look just because he dresses up doesn't mean hes going to rush for over 100 yards.

- The worst play in football happened this past weekend during the 49ers-Eagles game. At the goal line with a chance to get back in the game the 49ers handed the ball off to Gore, however Gore fumbled and watched the ball get ran back by a very large man. To make matters worse, 49ers impact rookie Vernon Davis broke his leg on the play and is expected to miss 4 weeks while Gore was left with an Ab strain. I guess bad things do come in 3's.

Week 3 Ballplayers - Mike Holmgren, Saints Defense, Mark Brunell, Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, Donovan McNabb, Matt Hasselback, Brian Westbrook, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Tatum Bell,Willis McGahee, Roy Williams (Lions), Brett Farve, Reggie Brown, Chris Simms.

Week 3 Non-Ballplayers - Mike Holmgren, Texans Defense, Falcons Recievers, Kurt Warner, New England ground game, New York Giants, I would put Big Ben but he admitted he didn't play well so I'll give him a break, Odell Thurman, and the Miami Offense.
