The NFL’s Grand Central Station of blogs is back to recap Week 8 action.
Giants 13 Dolphins 10:
Big Blue Notes questions why the NFL played the game in London.
Chargers 35 Texans 10:
Bolts Blog: “God that Texans offense was like nails on the chalkboard. Rob Dayne is like having Jackie Gleason as RB. But Jackie Gleason was faster. Freakin’ sloths could catch that guy from behind! HOU QB Matt Schaub was knocked out of the game for foolishly taking two steps toward the play after he was intercepted and being cracked hard by Stephen Cooper I believe. Who was wrongly penalized I feel. Then we were treated to the back up QB who strikes fear into the hearts of men, SAGE! Sage Rosenthals came in to lend a hand in the INT fest.”
Lions 16 Bears 7:
Da Bears Blog: “The quarterback is still the number one question mark on the team. Most have said it was that way for quite some time now, dating back to Rex days but it still holds true. I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks was the main cause for our loss today. I know what I think it was. I’ll give you a hint….it involves a noodle for an arm. Take away the padding of stats with some passing yards late, Griese wasn’t very good.”
Bills 13 Jets 3:
Coztanza’s Jets Commentary: “Chad Pennington finally did enough poorly for Eric Mangini to pull him. Pennington was 13 for 20 throwing the ball with no touchdowns and no interceptions. He only threw for 106 yards, barely 5 yards per attempt. That is atrocious. The most disturbing part about this performance was not that Chad struggled to move the ball with any regularity against a bad defense. It is not the fact that he put up only 3 points. These certainly were bad, but the most troubling thing was the fear Chad displayed. He had absolutely no confidence. He looked scared to throw an interception. He hardly attempted any passes that carried even a small risk with them.”
Eagles 23 Vikings 16:
Vikings War Cry: “A great point by Jeff Dubay and Mike Morris on Vikings Fanline: All of their recap shows sound the same. And that’s because these Vikings games are pretty much following the same script.”
Titans 13 Raiders 9:
Goldfish and Clowns: “The Raiders, in-between shooting themselves in the foot via penalty after penalty, couldn’t run the ball to save their lives against the top-notch Titans run defense. Therefore, it was up to Daunte Culpepper to make things happen. He didn’t. Then again, considering his only available call at the line of scrimmage was “hut-hut-hike-watch me run for my life” — this happens when you get sacked five times — how could he?”
Ravens Blog uses his team’s bye week to take a look at the NFL landscape.
Finally, SportzAssassin suggests that all NFL teams should have a backup stadium in case of emergencies.
