Week 3 - What Not To Wear

Week 3 is in the books and for some teams, it wasn't pretty in more ways than one. As we do each week, let's give out some points:

+2 Detroit Lions via Snapping the Streak - Call it the Blessing of the SWF. In the same week that the Detroit Lions make their pitch to me, they also snap their losing streak at 19. Coincidence? Hardly.

-1 Tennessee Titans via Jeff Fisher's sweatshirt - Bill Belichik is not amused. Lucky for Jeff, his sweatshirt wasn't the ugliest thing worn on Sunday...

+1 Baltimore Raves via Explosive O - It's hard to watch a Ravens game without expecting a 17-14 slugfest. 38, 31, and 34 points in the first 3 weeks? Who are you guys and what did you do with Trent Dilfer?

+1  Minnesota Vikings via Favre's Game-Winning Heave - I confess that I've been a little harsh on Favre, but this was a heck of a play and the kind of stuff we've come to expect from him.  I'm tough but fair.

-2 Seattle Seahaws via the Lime Green Jersey Disaster - My vocabulary is not expansive enough to think of an adjective to adequately describe these jerseys. I have looked for some kind of logical explanation to these hideous things for two days now and can't find any reasonable defense.

-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers via the Goose-egg - Byron Leftwich goes 7/16 for 22 yards? I have no idea how you average 1.4 yards per pass but I know it isn't fun to watch.

+1 Denver Broncos via Retroactive Point for Week 1 - I can admit when I'm wrong. I deducted a point from the Bengals for the Brandon Stokley but failed to give credit to the Broncos for pulling it off. If you missed the catch,  here's an accurate re-enactment.

  1. let's just say that as a titans fan, seeing not only coach fisher but the entire team in oilers attire was rather weird and a tad wrong...i applaud you for making note of the ugliness that was fisher's sweatshirt. i even asked my brother if fisher pulled the sweatshirt out of his closet.

  2. Yeah, SWF... giving the Lions 2 points this week and seeing the Lions tied for 2nd with the Cowboys in the reader poll...

    Next stop: load the closet with Honolulu blue and silver...

Let me hear your thoughts on who is the right (or wrong) team for me. In order to keep SWF family friendly, please avoid the use of profanity.
