Week 6 In Review - Wrong Jerseys, Nice Socks, and Tough Crowds

Confession - Between the baseball playoffs, training for a marathon, and some other weekend commitments, I watched less football this weekend than I have all year, so forgive me if I miss anything here. Still, some things jumped out...

Week 6

-2 Tennessee Titans via Worst Week Ever Titans getting hit twice here. First off, there's the 59-0 beatdown in New England. That's bad enough. Then Coach Fisher wears a Peyton jersey to a charity event because he says he wanted to feel like a winner? (Watch it here)  If most of the Titan's fans didn't have an orange Peyton Manning jersey from his college days, this would be a much bigger deal.

+1 New Orleans Saints via Giant Beatdown - You win the biggest game of the week, you usually get a point. Big win for the Saints and Who Dat nation...

+1 New England Patriots via 59-0 - 59 points, 35 points in 1 quarter, 6 TDs for Brady, and a field full of snow? That's a good week.

-1 Washington Redskins via Tough Crowd - I think they're the only team that's getting booed more at home than on the road, and maybe rightfully so with that offense.

+1 Denver Broncos via Peanut Butter Bar Socks - All I could think of when watching this game were the Atkinson's Peanut Butter Bars that you can get for about a nickel each. Come to think of it, I haven't seen these in a long time. That is, except for Jabar Gaffney who went with the swirl look

-1 New York Jets via Sanchise - It's only fair. If I'm going to hammer Delhomme for his INTs in week 1, then the same has to be done for Sanchez's 5 this week. Sanchise is starting to look more like the rookie we expected than Mr. Poise of the first 4 weeks.

And that's it for now.

  1. as a titans fan, i would have given them more than just a -2 for that horrible display of football on sunday followed by fisher's need to "support dungy and a charity" so i'm thankful for your graciousness.

    can the titans get bonus points for my peanut butter bar answer? that'd be helpful since they're on the field play isn't doing much
