Week 4 - Pretty In Pink

And as the first quarter of the season (for most teams) comes to a close,  it's time to hand out some points for the good, the surprising, and the horrendous.  The best part of the week by far was seeing 300 pounders in pink shoes as NFL players donned variations of pink accessories to support Breast Cancer Awareness.  While there were too many pink shoes to count, there were some other performances that stood out during the week.

+2  Minnesota Vikings via Farve/Jared Allen - No matter how sick you were of hearing about Favre (and I'm probably up there with anyone), you know you watched this game.  You knew Brett was going to be either great or terrible and nothing in between, and he was great. 24/31, 271 yards, 3 TDs.  You might want to get used to hearing about him this week.  Oh, and Jared Allen is scary.

-1 Tennessee Titans via Forgetting to Show Up  - The best news for the Titans?  No one in Jacksonville saw the game on TV.

+1 Denver Broncos via 4-0 - I'll admit, I thought Josh McDaniels was going to be lucky to make it through the season. I thought that Week 1 Stokley catch was nice and all, but thought it'd take miracles like that every week to win.  I have no clue how Kyle Orten is the QB for a 4-0 team, but he is.

+1 New Orleans Saints via Reggie Bush - Sure, Darren Sharper is probably the more deserving Saint for his on the field performance, but in a week where Lamar married Khloe, Reggie got back with Kim.  Advantage:  Reggie.

-1 St. Louis Rams via End-Zone Allergies  - The Rams are averaging a whopping 6 points per game and have been shut out in half of their games so far.  That is less than a Touchdown more than I'm averaging this season.

-1 Oakland Raiders via Jamarcus Russell - The good news?  Russell had his highest QB rating of the season in Week 4.  The bad news?  It was 48.5.


And that's all I've got for this week. If you think I missed something, let me know. More tradition/analysis scores are on the way.
