Rat Pack League

Top and Bottom

briantc9 — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 03:16:28 +0000

Top five
1. New Orleans Saints (11-0): Good luck to foes figuring out who to cover on any given play
2. Minnesota Vikings (10-1): Percy Harvin(notes) looking like a shoo-in for Rookie of the Year
3. Indianapolis Colts (11-0): Fans need to stop nit-picking with the small critiques.
4. San Diego Chargers (8-3): One of about a half-dozen contenders I don’t trust.
5. Cincinnati Cincinnati Bengals (8-3): An incredibly disciplined defense led by coordinator Mike Zimmer.

Bottom five
28. Oakland Raiders (3-8): Gradkowski bubble burst worse than the housing bubble.
29. Detroit Lions (2-9): Why was Stafford playing in the fourth quarter against Green Bay?
30. St. Louis Rams (1-10): There’s so much to fix, where do you start?
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-10): Expect them to scout UF’s Carlos Dunlap very hard.
32. Cleveland Browns (1-10): Charlie Weis working for Eric Mangini? Are you kidding me?

Bears Sinking….bring back….

briantc9 — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:52:51 +0000

Summary: I sit here watching this game and the Vikes are up 36-10….Tarvaris Jackson is in the game and I’m just dying for this game to end. It’s like being in the dentist’s chair…you try to think about other things to pass the time until the misery is over. The Bears are just awful. Jay Cutler is not going to get it done and Matt Forte is no longer a fantasy relevant RB…yeah I said it. Brett Favre throws for 392 yards and 3 td’s on the day…he is going to win the NFL MVP this year and if he caps that off with a Super Bowl at the ripe old age of 40, how can you argue that he’s the best ever. His numbers are gross and this is the first year he’s had a really good O-line and running game around him and look what he’s doing! 24 td’s and 3 INT’s. SICK! He’s made Adrian Peterson an absolute afterthought. How do you defend a team like that? Where the leagues best RB (this side of Chris Johnson) isn’t even a required part of the game plan? You stack the box to stop AP and Favre torches you. You take away his WR’s and he kills you underneath. You hang back and AP brutalizes you for 8 yards a pop. How the hell do you defend this? I don’t think the Bears could keep Girl Scout troop 696 out of the endzone so it’s hard to gauge on this game but the Vikes have done it to almost everyone this year. Scary. I don’t see them losing another game this year. They just need New Orleans to lose to get the home field throughout. Tomorrow night will be very interesting for the Vikes! Another game…another Favre domination.

He Graduated

Playoffs!? Playoffs?!

With Mudville taking down A Bomb he is playoff bound, Your Mom’s Hero is also in the playoffs with A Bomb losing. Hero’s will defeat Gumballs on Monday night. Week 13 will determine the bye week for either Hero or Mudville. A-bomb looks like a lock for a wild card game.

The whole Cal Sag division will come down to the last week.
