Sunday

It's Sunday, which means I'm sitting at home watching football and eating as much as possible. I'm watching the Falcons Packers game right now and I am very impressed with the Falcons defense. Sure they caught a break with Rodgers fumbling in the endzone, but they have actually looked very good. For me I looked at this game as two teams who have great offenses, and one team that has a great defense, that team is the Green Bay Packers. But today it has been the Falcons who are showing up on defense, and leading right now 10-3 in the third quarter. It might be because of their great home-field advantage. The Falcons with Matt Ryan as their starting quarterback for the last three years are 18-1 at home. Which to me is amazing seeing how Ryan was a rookie in '08, and the Falcons struggled to an 8-8 record in '09. I'm also watching the Giants Jaguars game, the Jaguars are leading 17-9, and yet I still see the Giants as a team that could win the Superbowl which angers me. Even though the Giants have lost the last two weeks to the Cowboys and the Eagles, and are getting run over by the Jags, something about that team scares me. The Giants started 1-2 and everyone thought they were terrible. Then they turned it around to a 6-2 record and they looked like the best team in not only the NFC but the NFL. The offense can look unstoppable at times with both the power run game, and the explosive pass game. But then the Giants lay an egg and look like a confused team. But just the fact that they can look so good a times scares me. Because I think everyone remembers when the Giants hit their stride during the playoffs a couple of years ago and upset the favored and undefeated Patriots. So even if the Giants lose today and you hear all over ESPN that they are a terrible team don't listen, because they just might squeeze into the playoffs and beat your favorite team (if you have not noticed I'm a Pats fan). By the way the score of the Packers Falcons game is now tied at 10. Right after I tell you how great and surprising the Falcons d is Green Bay marches down the field and scores. Later tonight the Bears play the Eagles and the Chargers play the Colts, two great games. The Bears will look to slow down Michael Vick and the Eagles offense, and I hope they do because Vick is on my opponents fantasy team. The Sunday Night game is going to be great, Philip Rivers is having a great season and is really helping my fantasy team. Vincent Jackson will also be returning tonight after being suspended during the beginning of the season both by the NFL and the San Diego Chargers, I also just picked him up on my fantasy team, but enough about me. Alright that was just a quick update on the NFl today. Quick note the Heat lost to a good team last night yet again and continue to talk about this "process" which I guess means they have some sort of evil master plan to take over the NBA. Well I think they have already succeeded seeing how they are the only thing that anyone talks about while the Celtics, Lakers, Spurs, and Magic quietly just keep on winning. Have a good week.
