NFL Preview - Week 7
SportsHubLA —
Vikings (3-3) at Bears (3-3) — Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, FOX: A win he Adrian Peterson re will help snap a three-way tie atop the NFC North, and could lead to sole possession of first place. The Bears gave up a staggering 224 yards to Adrian Peterson last season at Soldier Field, but that defense played with a banged up Tommie Harris, who collected one tackle before being sidelined. This week, Peterson and Bears running back Matt Forte will be the keys to winning a brutally physical game . Line: CHI (-3), Weather: Soldier Field, Chicago IL. Partly cloudy, 16 mph wind, 64-degrees . Steelers (4-1) at Bengals (0-6) — Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, ...
Buckeye NFL Watch: Week 7
Eleven Warriors —
... Another intriguing game later this afternoon is up in Green Bay, where the Colts will visit Lambeau Field. AJ Hawk continues to lead Green Bay in total tackles and should have a few over the middle encounters will Anthony Gonzalez. FYI, Roy Hall can’t catch a break with the Colts, as he sits again today with a knee injury. After only appearing in three games last year before his stint on the IR, Hall as participated in just one game this season, recording no stats. ...
Your Last Sunday Night Game for Two Weeks Could Be More Appealing

... Hey, remember when all the dipshit Colts fans last week were blithering that the rest of the AFC had to be pissing itself following Indy’s rolling of the Ravens? Well, no one was buying it. Not even them. And that was why. One game does not a saved season make, shitheads. ...
Packers 34, Indianapolis 14

What a way to go into the bye week. A few quick hits on the game:
Pass offense. QB Aaron Rodgers was his usual self, post shoulder injury, going 21 for 28 with 186 yards, 1 TD and zero turnovers. His biggest contribution was to keep the offense moving while not allowing any turnovers. Indianapolis did a good job covering the wide receivers, RB Brandon Jackson was the leading receiver, but the pass protection was fantastic.
Run offense. I expected this to be the difference between winning and losing, and boy was I wrong. RB Ryan Grant had a good day, 31 for 105 ...

I already did a quick recap, but I'm finished watching the Rays beat the Red Sox. Now I want to kick the tires more on the win over Indianapolis.
On a baseball note, I watched the game five collapse at Boston. Tampa had a 7-0 (SEVEN RUNS!!!) lead and blew it. That should have been the end of them, but they came back and won game 7. If you don't already know who David Price is, there is still plenty of time to learn.
Back to football. This was the first game this season that:
QB Aaron Rodgers didn't have more passing yards than ...

Packers RB Ryan Grant had his first 100-yard game of the season. Both of Colts QB Peyton Manning’s interceptions were returned for touchdowns . After his team racked up 12 penalties for 110 yards , Colts S Melvin Bullitt said “it seemed like no matter what we did, there was a flag on the ground.” Said Colts coach Tony Dungy, “ They played smarter and sharper than we did and consequently won the game by a big score.” Packers LB Desmond Bishop gave DT Johnny Jolly a push in the back that helped Jolly block a field goal in the third quarter. The Packers left LB A.J. Hawk on the sideline in favor of LB Brandon Chillar to offset ...
MONDAY SUCK-OFF: WASHED-UP OLD QB’S
With Leather —
Plenty of suckiness to go around yesterday, especially if you had the misfortune of watching the dreary Raiders-Jets overtime game or the Browns-Redskins slog. Some teams performed with the expected amount of suckiness — the Lions, Chiefs, Seahawks, and Bengals all looked like their usual crappy selves — while others took the opportunity to look at their level of sky-high potential and skill and say, “Let’s take the week off, fellas.” This latter category includes the Saints, whose high-powered offense was stifled by the Panthers, and the Colts, who just look old and slow and ...

Gamble is developing into a lock down specialist.
For the first time in a few weeks, the former Buckeye wide receivers showed some life in the statistical category, but only one of their teams managed a win.
On the defensive side of things, there were a few standout performances by a couple of corners, making this week’s decision a ...
