Allow me to open up this Wrap-Up
the right way. I was called out last week to OWN UP on a statement about
the Arizona Cardinals. On one hand, I talked about how the Cardinals
were the team to beat in the NFC, which is true if you go by the fact
that they are the reigning NFC Champions and when they are on their
game, nobody in the NFC has an answer for them. Then I made this statement:
Was anybody surprised that the Cardinals lost
last night (I sure wasnt)? Well look, there isnt a contradiction
present in this evaluation. Whether you realize it or not, there is
a Rivalry setting in the NFL. The NFL is about matchups and how
much data you have compiled on your opponent. The San Francisco 49ers
are built to beat the Cardinals. If the Niners dont beat another
team the entire season, theyll step their game up against their rival.
I appreciate the call out; it keeps me on my toes. And youre welcome
Saints fans, no need feel down.
The Cowboys just wanted it and need it more. Whoa, did I just type that?
The Saints are no longer undefeated and its not because your team
didnt try the Saints left all they had on the field in the fourth
quarter. You couldnt tell me that Drew Brees wasnt going to pull
another comeback out of his helmet. The mountain was too steep to climb
this time around though. I will step back from the Saints because their
fans go extremely hard every week on the Wrap-Up. So in your own words,
how did you take the first loss of the season?
Before I go any further, lets
have a moment of silence for Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver, Chris
Henry .
Ok Steelers fans, Ill
OWN UP! I stated that your team wouldnt win another game this season
without Troy Isnt It Polamalu in the lineup. Yesterday, the
Steelers kept their Playoff dreams on life support. Roethlisberger threw
for 503 yards and a game winning, no seconds on the clock, touchdown
to beat the Green Bay Packers. Throwing for 503 yards in one game is
pretty epic, I cant lie. The win placed the Steelers in a 6-way tie
with Miami, the Jets, Houston, Jacksonville, and Tennessee, all a game
out of the final Wild Card spot. If your team is in this mix, OWN UP
on your chances of making it to the second season.
Let me guess, the Giants fans
will make an appearance this week in the Comment Section shots fired!
Week 15 saw a few records get
met or broken. Randy The Cornrow Lumberjack Moss gave it to the
media during his postgame interview. Desean Jackson cant stop catching
50+ yard bombs. The Tennessee Titans held on to beat the Miami Dolphins,
tightening up the race for the final Wildcard position. The Minnesota
Vikings offensive line got Brett Favre 4.0 lit up. Then Brett walked
all over Coach Childress, telling him that he wasnt going to leave
the game. San Diego is streaking! Wow, I love this game.
My Game of the Week for
Week 16 is Baltimore at Pittsburgh. Just think about it. Baltimore Ravens
are holding onto the final Wildcard spot. They are in control of their
own destiny. If they could beat Pittsburgh, Baltimore would add more
cushion to their positioning for a Playoff run. If Pittsburgh beat the
Ravens, theyll be tied in the AFC North and Pittsburgh would be won
step closer to defending their Superbowl championship. Ive heard
that Polamalu will be active for the game. Get your popcorn ready!
As always, I cant get to
every team in these wrap-ups. Id like to thank all the consistent
AHH NFL fans that comment every week. I read every comment and seriously
take them into account. So lets OWN UP! Will Indianapolis go undefeated
in the regular season? How is your team fairing in the Playoff hunt?
Is anybody else tired of Michael Vick running the Wildcat other than
Michael Vick?
