We probably showed up on Sunday with the confidence of knowing which teams were going home with another win. Well... It started with the Patriots meeting up with the defending champs, Mad Ink Browns. Certain people were saying that there was no way the Pats were gonna take another game away from the Browns. And that after last week, the Browns changed everything around and may have found a secret weapon on the offense. That the Patriots couldn't change enough to repeat the upset.
Well the battle began and the Patriots almost ran away with it. The Pats came in with a game plan and followed it to a tee. The Browns tried to stop it but just couldn't adapt quick enough to stop the Patriots to from scoring. The Patriots finally got their 2nd win and it was well deserved. They played their hearts out. They improved their record to 2-5 and although it isn't too impressive, it may be good enough to make it into the playoffs. Yes I said playoffs. The Browns have 4 more games to ruin those plans. It isn't going to be easy for the defending champs. Those last 4 games are against the 5-2 Raiders; the 4-3 Saints; the 3-4 Falcons; and the 6-1 Eagles. Each of these teams drive the Browns crazy. Now nothing is guaranteed in this league, and that's why we show up on Sundays and play these games. If the Browns can pull it together to make a last strong run, they can surely make the Patriots nervous about that playoff spot.
Now the battle of all battles happened between the Saints and Eagles. This was to keep the Eagles from clinching and hopefully take them out of the Playoff picture all together. Who ever won this game was going to be declared the best team in the division and even the league. This game was one you had to watch. it was truly one of the most competitive games this season. And the best part about these two teams is that there is a good chance they may meet in the Playoffs. If they went "H.A.M." during a regular season game, can you imagine what they are going to do in a game that could mean going into the Superbowl? Painful!!!!
The Raiders are leading the AFC and the only team to beat them twice is Dem Falcons Boyz. Who did they just play in wk7? You guessed it, the Falcons. The Falcons came into this game with just 9 players. They have a tremendous amount of players on the injured reserve list. And the players that are on this list are players that are some of the most important ones for this team. They showed up with a team that is still considered very dangerous and if they can just get a lead, they can hold off an offense attack long enough for the time to run out and sneak off the field with a win and sweep the Raiders.
The Raiders are a very impressive team. They adapt every week and look like they dont get tired. They have a great offensive line lead by a QB that is very difficult to predict. they also have a defensive line that just looks scary. these guys seem to run at a 100% all day. They don't have one game that they slowed down once. It is getting to the time of year when they play teams like the Saints and the Eagles and this will be a test for these guys. The Raiders clinched a Playoff spot by beating the Falcons this week and not allowing a sweep. They also had help from the Patriots when they beat the Browns making it almost impossible for them to take one of those 2 playoff spots.
Will the Browns make a run for the Playoffs? Can the Patriots hold them off for the last 4 wks so they can get in? Will the Raiders continue to show their dominance and not just make it to the Playoffs but take home the crown? Will the Falcons regroup and put the best players on the field to try to move the Saints out of that last playoff spot? Will the Saints bounce back off of their tough loss and put the league on notice. Will the Eagles overcome the injuries to their team and finally put it all together to take home the ring for the 2nd time?
What would be your Superbowl preference?
