I've been a little inconsistent and sporadic with my articles lately, mainly because of school. So, as a different approach, I've decided to make a post every Monday in regards to the NFL and college football.
So here goes.
My Thoughts on The NFL: Week 10
1) First off, I want to make a comment about my hometown Falcons. Thank you Atlanta, for not only beating the hated Saints and improving to a 6-3 record, but also for still being curdious enough to allow Drew Brees to throw for over 400 yards.
My fantasy lineup of Brees, Roddy White, Jerious Norwood, and the Falcons defense and special teams, had a serious performance this week!
On that note, dont look past this Falcon defense at all! They gave up a google of yards on Sunday, but remember that New Orleans came into the game as the NFL's best offense and the Dirty Birds held them to 13 points...until the last six seconds when Lance Moore caught a hail mary! Woops!
I'm going to be honest with you. I did not think Matt Ryan had the arm strength to play in the NFL.
Maybe I'm just really used to watching...that guy who wore No. 7...sling balls around the field like oranges for five years. But with Ryan in town, those "oranges" are all of a sudden catchable (and might I add so tasty!).
Matt Ryan has been incredibely impressive. This guy is a rookie! He found a loophole or something, because rookie quarterbacks dont do this kind of thing. I couldnt be happier with the Falcons performance so far this season.
2) On an opposite note, I cannot help but find the "car crash" (no pun, in reference to the motor city...okay, maybe it was) that is the Detroit Lions somewhat comedic. This team came into the year with playoff implications, and havn't even won a game.
I heard Detroit was having a "blackout" this weekend, and expected to see their black jerseys. Little did I know that meant they weren't even making it onto television. They took the oppurtunity to wear their beautiful throwbacks instead.
Well, glad we got to see those Detroit. Try wearing them when people actually get the chance to see them!
Honestly, I think Detroit could pull off the unthinkable this year, and go winless. I know its difficult. The Dolphins gave it their all for the goose egg last season. But, Greg Camirillo accidently found a crease and the ball stuck to his hands. Camirillo could not slow down the wheels before he passed the goaline. Is it that hard to stop running?
Camirillo must have felt like the "sickest man in America."
