Week 7 Almost Over

I normally give my summary of the NFL week after the Monday night game, but this week is different because the Indianapolis Colts are playing at the Jacksonville Jaguars today. They get their own post.

The media's favorite team, New England Patriots, dismantled the Miami Dolphins. Tom Brady, you heard about this guy right? Well, he threw 6 TDs on Sunday and is on pace to throw 62 on the year. The backup QB for the Patriots scared Bill Belichick and had to send Brady back into the game in the middle of the fourth quarter.

Brady immediately went back in after Matt Cassell threw an interception that was returned for a TD and cut the deficit to a mere 21 points. How did Brady respond? With an "eff you" TD to make the score 49-21.

The sad part in the game? Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown went down with a knee injury and looks like he will be out for the rest of the season. He was the only bright spot for the Dolphins this year, and more importantly, he was my main man on my fantasy football team. Goodbye fantasy football season.

Even my favorite lounge singer, Phil Shane, knows what important event that is occuring on November 4. Colts v. Patriots.

Quick shots:
Willis McGahee returned to Buffalo and his team lost. Jeff Garcia fumbled the game away to the Lions. Saints win the suck-off fest against the Falcons. Giants have one five in a row. The Redskins squeezed by the Cardinals (Neil Rackers missed a FG as time expired; thanks Rackers, you cost me points). Rob Bironas can kick FGs; he kicked a record 8 FGs to lead the Titans to victory. The Bengals won a game (thank the Jets)! The Chiefs are in first place in the AFC West after winning a close game with the Raiders (ninth straight over them). Dallas got a boost from their special teams to help them over the Vikings. St. Louis joined Miami at 0-7. The Broncos almost gave the game back to the Steelers before kicking getting a game-winning FG as time expired.

And the Chicago Bears-Philadelphia Eagles matchup.
Brian Griese is trying to make sure Rex Grossman stays on the bench, as he guided the Bears from their own 3-yard line on their final drive for a TD to take a 19-16 lead with nine seconds left.

The interesting part? Griese called all but one of the plays on the final drive because the audio in his helmet was not working. Take that Grossman.

Be sure to catch tonight's game. Week 7 picks record coming tomorrow (about .500 on the week, ugh).
