Here are your random thoughts for Week 9 in the NFL:
– I loved T.O.’s witty touchdown celebration yesterday when he pretended to fall asleep on the football (homage to him falling asleep during team meetings). But I loved when he alligator-armed a potential touchdown pass that essentially cost his team a win even more.
– Was Chad Johnson about to cry in his post-game interview yesterday?
– The Giants keep on trucking…but they’ve got some serious injury issues.
– Drew Brees is far and away the best offseason move any team made this summer.
– Daunte Culpepper is far and away the worst.
– Is there a more boring team in the NFL right now than the Minnesota Vikings?
– Three potential playoff teams with plenty to worry about at the midway point in the season: Bears (run defense), Colts (run defense) and Falcons (pass defense).
– Their play isn’t converting into many wins for their respective team right now, but both Roy Williams and Kellen Winslow Jr. are turning into excellent playmakers.
– Peyton Manning is amazing, but lets cool it with all the undefeated talk right now, okay? The Bears just lost to Miami at home, so that means that Indy can lose a game at any point during the rest of the season.
– Speaking of Indy – Marvin Harrison’s second touchdown grab last night was one of the best catches I’ve ever seen.
– Here is your biggest QB-controversy that will carry throughout the rest of the season: Byron Leftwich vs. David Garrard.
– Marques Colston (seventh round pick) is just another prime example why even these top NFL scouts have no clue sometimes.
– With Damon Huard playing as well as he is, there is no reason why Trent Green should hurry back from a concussion. Just ask Ben Roethlisberger.
– Due to their madding inconsistency, here are four quarterbacks that I would not have 100% faith in right now heading into the playoffs: Rex Grossman, Jake Plummer, Michael Vick and J.P. Losman.
Whoops, how the hell did Losman get in there? That’s my fault – he isn’t even an NFL quarterback is he?
