Week 6

So this week was another good week in football. Even though the Giants lost there first game last night it still was a good game up until the end. Some injuries the Cowboys who lost to Arizona on Sunday in tight one that went down to the wire. In an overtime loss Tony Romo broke his pinky finger on the first play during overtime he will be out for about 4 weeks, which might mean that they might slip in the division and might not have a chance to make the playoffs. And according to ESPN sources Felix Jones will be out 2-4 weeks with a torn left hamstring.
The Patriots have had a few rough games the past two weeks with consecutive losses and Tom Brady's injury seems to be affecting them a great deal at the QB postion.
The Steelers' Willie Parker who expects to play Sunday in Cincinnati, revealed that it was a sprained MCL in his left knee which sidelined him for the past two games, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
So as you can see there are many injuries this year that can haunt many teams and make this a very interesting year in football!!! See you all next week.

Week 5

After I finished watching the giants pommel the Seahawks I got to see the Colts and Texans game and the hits that the quarterback Sage Rosenfels fumbled twice to lead to two scores after some big hits from the Colts.
Another big hitting game full of both offense and defense that was a fun game to watch too was the Saints vs. Vikings game on Monday Night Football. It was a well faught battled on both sides with Reggie Bush's two punt returns for TDs and Drew Brees' laser arm throwing for over 300 yds but the real fun came with the hits. A blocked laid by a Saints player for one Bush's TDs was porbably the best hit of the game. And late in th game Adrian Peterson was hit very hard n a run up the middle. With these bone crushing tackles and the offense that was played it was hard not to stop seeing the replays on this game.

Week 4

Well in week 4 the Giants 3-0 had a bye so I didn't get to watch much football this week but I got a chance to see some highlights of the Jets vs. Cardinals game, and the vicious helmet-to-helmet hit did not look good for Anquan Boldin when he left Sunday's game on a stretcher in the fourth quarter. The safety Eric Smith who delivered the hit is suspeneded for one game.

During that game also Brett Farve, new addition to the Jets, completed 24-of-34 passes for 289 yards with a career high six touchdowns and one interception after working through a twisted left ankle during the week. He has started 257 consecutive regular-season games, an NFL record for quarterbacks.

Aaron Rodgers, who missed two series in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Bucs, thinks he may have separated his throwing shoulder, the Associated Press reports. "It felt like that's what possibly happened," Rodgers said after Sunday's game. "But we're going to wait until tomorrow to figure out exactly what the problem is." But the first year starter intends to play Sunday against Atlanta, according to the Associated Press.

Streak Ends!

This week was a fun week of football. First and foremost the Patriots end there streak 21 game regular season win streak went down the drain after the Dolphins',Ronnie Brown,ran all over them in that crazy set. It was almost like a high school formation but hey whatever works.
Another Streak that was ended this weekend was Washington Redskins defensive end Jason Taylor's streak of playing in 133 straight games. He has not missed a game since 1999 and will miss his first game this Sunday verse Dallas. Taylor was kicked in the shin in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. A Redskins source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that Taylor's shin "blew up like a balloon." Taylor was in excruciating pain Monday morning and doctors became concerned he could suffer nerve damage.
Taylor checked into a hospital and underwent a 20-minute procedure. The operation drained a pool of blood that had accumulated in the calf. Coach Jim Zorn said that "he will be ok though".

Brain Westbrook limped around without crutches Monday. The All-Pro running back is day to day with a strained ankle, encouraging news for a Philadelphia Eagles team that can't afford to lose its top offensive player. He probably still will play on Sunday.

And sspeaking of the Eagles and they're defensive stance on the Steelers this past weekend. Poor Ben Rethlisberger getting sacked a total of 8 times and then the 9th happening to Brian Leftwich if I'm not mistaking. He hurt his hand and shoulder and was taken out of the game but he is expected to play this Monday vs. the Ravens.
Well that's all for this week hopefully i will hear from everyone again this week.

Two Weeks Into the Season

So this is my first time writing a blog and I hope this seasons reports come out well so here goes nothing. In the first two weeks there have been so many injuries and some huge ones that we are going to discuss in the entry. One player that made a big difference on the Saints is Marquis Colston he was a huge part and a huge impact on the Saints passing game. He is having season ending thumb surgery all the best to him and a hopefully he will have a speedy recovery. Also Devin Hester was moving around very gingerly in the locker room after leaving Sunday's game midway through the third quarter with a rib injury, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He is an all pro returner and was an excellent part of the Bears. But personally I think that the biggest injury in the NFL at this time is Tom Brady. He went down in week one vs the Chiefs and will be having season ending surgery on his ACL. People actually had the nerve to sell t shirts about his injury and say that he deserved it even though it was unintentional and for them to do that to a great player like that is a disgrace. Well that's it for the this post hopefully you'll read and write and post on this.
