- Is it me, or does it seem like the bad teams this year are REALLY bad? I mean, it used to be that there were maybe 1-3 teams in any given season that stunk up the joint. But this year, we have the Titans, Rams, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Browns, Redskins & Raiders that are not playing at NCAA Division 1 level, much less the NFL level. Granted, most of these teams either have 1st year coaches [Rams/Bucs/Chiefs/Redskins/Raiders], and the two with experienced head coaches have QB issues. The question is: which team will fire it’s coach first?
- Now I have heard it all. Why are people making a big deal about Mark Sanchez eating a hot dog on the sideline during the Jets-Raider game? If the man was hungry, he was hungry. I think it was a matter of the TV cameras not having anything to look at during the game [I mean, was there anything to look at for Raider fans from the first play?], and this one item is getting more buzz than the excellent job that the Jets players did. If I were a Jets PR executive, I would have a Hot Dog day at the next home game – 1 free hot dog for every one that attends the game! What Publicity!!! [Nathan’s anyone?]
- Now behold, the second coming … of Alex Smith? Yes! The same QB that people had written off as a complete bust has now been named the starting QB for this week’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, and will be the starter for some time to come. All I know is this – the 49ers have to see what Alex can do after being on the team for the past 4+ years. Is he the QB of the future, or do they need to look elsewhere? Shaun Hill is a decent team manager, but this team needs a QB that will get the ball down the field and get the fans excited about the possibilities of having a downfield game again. Mike Singletary’s philosophy of “Hitting people in the mouth” was fine in the days of the Ditka Bears, but now the successful teams have a balance of running AND passing in their offense.
- One more note – To The OWNERS: You hired the men you have on the sidelines as coaches for a reason. Hopefully the reason is that you believed that they had the ability to lead your team to victory. If that was the case, LET THEM COACH, and you worry about signing the paychecks.
