The 2012 season reached the end of the first quarter with
the great replacement officials’ fiasco finished. The pros were back and most of the action
last week seemed much more down to earth where the game was the focus. Not that
there weren’t some real freak shows like the New England Patriots visiting
Buffalo and playing total inhalation football in the 2nd half
leading to a 52-28 massacre. The Chicago Bears laid the big hurt on the Dallas
Cowboys on national TV Monday night that one would think any pretense of
calling Tony Romo an elite quarterback or the ‘Boys a top team is totally
absurd. They are not a top tier team and haven’t been since the days of of
Michael Irvan, Emit Smith, and Troy Aikman. The big surprise has to be Arizona undefeated so
far. That Atlanta and Houston have no losses shouldn’t be a big
surprise especially considering their competition so far. New Orleans at 0-4 shows just how much the
punishment for the bounty scandal runs deep. They are a team in disarray.
Week 5 Picks:
Thursday night:
Sunday:
It’s time for the Ravens to kick up their defense effort and
show they are still one of the league’s best units with a convincing defeat
against the Chiefs.
More education for Andrew Luck who will see how a truly
great NFL quarterback picks apart his team’s defense and scores a big win.
No fun in Landover Sunday, the Dirty Birds will win
convincingly and have the Redskins wondering what hit them.
The 2/2 Giants will look much more like defending champs
playing the winless Browns; however, the Browns should not be taken as
pushovers.
The Battle for Pennsylvania finds two
teams with lots of fight but lots of questions. A Philadelphia win will reveal father time has
gone to work on the Steelers – not the killers they had been for most of the
past decade.
A great opportunity for Cam Newton to show his sophomore
jinx is over. It’s time for Seattle
to start falling back into the scrap heap where they normally reside.
Hot off their dominating defeat of Dallas ,
the Bears can enjoy a short Florida
vacation slapping around the hapless Jaguars.
The early days of the Peyton Manning era has not created one
tough butt kicking team yet and New England is
not the place for that quality to emerge.
The chronic underachievers against the team in the doghouse –
slight edge to San Diego .
Monday Night:
The Jets are going down hard. At what point will Tim Tebow
come into the game?
