NFL Week 7 Recap

OK, week seven is over and as we’re getting closer to postseason and contenders and pretenders are coming out. We had a few key games that help us define the season. We get to them and next this week rankings:

Saints 46 X Dolphins 34:

Miami had a 21 points first half lead, Ricky Williams ran for 3 TDs and they intercepted Drew Brees 3 times, all that while playing at home. All good things if they didn’t let New Orleans turn things around. And it’s not like a last minute comeback, the Saints finished 12 points ahead. What we’ve learned from that? Miami Wild Cat is fun, but they need a real quarterback and they won’t make very far this season. We knew New Orleans had a great defense and a great air game, but now we’ve seen they can even find a way to win ugly. This team seems ready to win it all, let’s see if the experience of Colts and others will make difference coming playoffs time.

Vikings 17 X Steelers 27

Favre had no TD and an Interception. He better start giving Peterson more carries if they wanna get somewhere. The guy was the best running back of the last season or two and this season improved his years/carrie avg, yet he’s carring the ball almost 3 times less per game than last season. The Steelers got Polamalu back and you know that means people should take them seriously.

CARDINALS 24 X GIANTS 17

Maybe Arizona still got some of that mojo from last year, and they should we receivers like that. Eli’s Giants after two straights losses looks a few steps behind his brother’s Colts.

Reiners 122 X Browns 62

Thanks to Peyton Manning, Ricky Williams, Vincent Jackson and Colts D (or Rams O) I killed this week and now I have the lead in my conference fantasy league. Maybe my second title in three years is coming after 3 W in a row.
