How much can happen to a team in a day? The Cowboys announce that Tony Romo is out with an injured pinky for 4 weeks, the NFL suspends troubled d-back Adam “Pacman” Jones for at least 4 games (any bets it will be for the entire season, an entire career?) for an alcohol-related fight, and then the Pokes trade a first round draft choice plus others for UTexas alum, WR Roy Williams, from the Lions…that is a busy season for some teams…that plus the fact that the Cowboys lost in overtime to the Cardinals on a blocked punt can’t have made Jerry Jones a happy man…
But back to the field…there doesn’t look to be a super team in the league this year…Tennesee is 5-0 but there aren’t many people looking for a challenge to the ‘72 Dolphins or the ‘07 Patriots…so what are we left with…a more dominant NFC (only 4 teams with records under .500) a weaker AFC (8 teams under .500), arguably the best player (Tom Brady) out for the year, Petyon Manning admitting he had 2 surgeries, not 1…5 QB’s with passer ratings over 100, two of them being greybeards Brett Favre and Kurt Warner…no wonder we love the NFL…you just never know what will happen next!
On to the rookies…
Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) led the his team to a last second win over the Bears…he still leads the rookie QB’s with a 59.8% completion %, an 82.9% QB rating, 5 TDs and 3 ints…
Matt Forte (Chicago Bears) leads rookies in rushing with 459 yds, a 3.6 yd/carry average, and 3 TDs…
Eddie Royal (Denver Broncos) is ahead of the rookie receivers with 30 catches for 321 yds, good for a 10.7 yd/reception average…
Matt Forte (Bears) and Tim Hightower (Arizona Cardinals) are tied for the lead in rookie scroing with 30 pts…a big part of their teams early season success…
On to week 7…the game to watch? San Diego at Buffalo!
