Only two blogs this week...today and Wednesday...and a short blog next week as I'll be in San Diego for the Holiday Bowl...
-What is it with the Cardinals playing to the level of their opponents? The Lions are 1-13 and without their starting QB and RB...yet they were very much alive in the 4th quarter yesterday.
-Something still seems off with Kurt Warner...he really looks tentative in the pocket and it seems as though he doesn't trust his offensive line that much.
-I truly believe the Cards will have their hands full in the 1st round of the playoffs - they will either be hosting the Packers, Cowboys, or Giants...and all three teams are more than capable of winning in Arizona.
-Well so much for my prediction that the Saints would finish the regular season undefeated...the looked befuddled to say the least on Saturday night as the Cowboys seemingly manhandled them all over the field.
-Compound New Orleans' poor performance with another Minnesota dud and that Saints-Vikings NFC Championship Game isn't looking quite as probable now.
-I can't believe my Packers choked that badly in Pittsburgh yesterday...mind you they were beaten on the final play by a perfect throw and an amazing catch...but the momentum Green Bay had built in the last month now is out the window. A win over Seattle seems like a near certainty, but then again...
-Denver losing to Oakland at home? Come on Josh McDaniels...I know you're a rookie head coach, but you can't let that happen...
-I'm still sticking with San Diego and New Orleans in the Super Bowl.
-What a pathetic showing by a superior Fresno State team in the New Mexico Bowl this Saturday. They were totally outplayed by a Wyoming team that didn't belong on the same field with them.
-Watching teams like Wyoming and Middle Tennessee win is the reason the College Bowl system is great as is...for the lesser teams to have a chance at a postseason game. I would still make changes at the top though.
-I'm thrilled my Cubbies unloaded the cancer that is Milton Bradley to the Mariners, but for Carlos Silva, arguably the worst pitcher in the Major Leagues?
-Silva can eat innings...but he gets crushed because he rarely strikes anyone out...for his career, batters are hitting well over .300 off him - which is brutally bad.
-If Silva starts more than 5 games for Chicago this year, I think all of my hair might fall out...I won't be able to stand it.
-Bradley could be a great move for the suddenly contending Mariners or he could be an absolute nightmare...call me crazy, but I actually believe he'll be a success.
FINAL THOUGHT - There's been rampant speculation that the NFL wants to expand its regular season by 1 or 2 weeks. Considering at least 20-30% (on the low side) of opening day starters are sidelined due to injury at this point, don't you agree that 16 games is more than enough? Adding more meaningful games will actually cause the competition to decrease by the end of the regular season.
