Here are my quick observations, rants, stew and syrup from Sunday's action.
1) What is going on with the Saints defense? Two TDs and immense pressure on Mark Sanchez for the win. Did Greg Williams really make that big a difference?
2) I am now pronouncing the other Steve Smith as THE Steve Smith and the old Steve Smith is now the OTHER Steve Smith. After 100+ again... and two scores, Steve Smith is one of the better receivers in the league right now, and Eli loves him.
3) Since I am mentioning Eli, 3 more TDs and nearly 300 before injuring his heel. Not sure how serious it is, but Eli swears after the game he will be ready for Oakland. How many would pick up David Carr is Eli sits?
4) Is Brandon Marshall back? If you can get him cheap right now, steal him. Did you see the TD? Leaping over the defender, running across the field, breaking tackles and out running the others. Nice play.
5) Are the Titans really this bad? Each week, I don't think, other than Chris Johnson, there are any players worthy of fantasy mention, at least not consistently. The rookie WR, Kenny Britt did post a nice game in garbage time.
6) Ocho Cinco seems to have returned to himself, running clean route, making nice grabs and posting regular good numbers. He kept alive really well on the final TD reception.
7) If I were a Matt Forte owner (and I am), I would be happy with the 140 yards and a TD, but I would be worried about the lack of touches, only 14.
8) Is Tom Brady still a tier 1 fantasy QB? Perhaps it is the solid defenses he has been facing early this year. Still, 250 and a TD is a bit less than his owners had hoped.
9) I am somewhat amazed at the numbers the formerly retired Derrick Mason is putting up. I know, I know, Joe Flacco can really heave the rock, and really, does Baltimore really have any other solid options? Yet, I am still surprised.
10) Was that a pathetic quarterback display in Tampa Bay today? They barely completely 50% of their passes and just were not good.
11) What a nice game by David Garrard. 300+ and 3 TDs. Very strong. and to think, I could have picked him up as a bye week replacement.
12) The only thing that saved a horrible game for Maurice Jones-Drew was a rushing TD and that just barely. One would have thought, looking at the scoreboard, he would have been a bigger factor. And a quick shout out to Mike Sims-Walker, strong with 91 yards and 2 TDs.
13) Peyton Manning has established himself as the best QB in the league so far this year. Kudos for passing Tarkington in career TDs. Only a matter of time for him to catch Marino and Favre?
14) Is JaMarcus Russell really this bad? 12 for 33, 128, no TDs? Really weak.
15) Steve Slaton broke free finally, with 89 combined yards and 2 TDs.
16) The ground game in Miami is going strong. Ronnie Brown with 115 and 2 TDs and Ricky Williams with 85 and 1 TD. Really strong.
17) There was a TO sighting... briefly. (3 catches for 60 yards)
18) The RBBC experiment in Buffalo is not off to such a good start. less than 50 yards between Jackson and Lynch. So, how are the Dolphins making it work?
19) San Francisco really kicked the Ram's tail. Three defensive TDs? Ridiculous! Sick!
