Some really horrific ball games this past week. Many werent competetive. Some were offensively inept such as Sea/Cle and last nights debacle. Heck the Mia/Den game was painful for 55 minutes. Lets not forget the college-like NO/Indy game.

glad its over.

To answer OJH's question I don't think it's all Caldwell. They've been making bad personnel decisions for a while. The defense has been overrated for a very long time based on how productive Freeny and Mathis are. Outside of those two and Pat Angerer, almost every defender is replaceable, and guys like Bob Sanders (now gone), Antoine Bethea and Gary brackett have long been given way too much credit for their actual talent levels. The offensive line has been deteriorating without much help, sure they brought in Castonzo this year but before that they made like plugging guys like Charlie Johnson were gonna cut it. The running game has been pathetic for years and Manning has made some mediocre receivers look good. In short, they built the team around Manning being able to succeed and he has, but the talent is pretty lacking without the main man under center.

That said, no team in today's NFL should give up 62 points in a game or average scoring around 16 a game with just one major injury as the excuse.

$4 million for Collins to hold a clip board is a fireable offense too. Like was mentioned though, even with Manning this team might not have been very good anyway...

So I missed the Sunday afternoon slate of games, only to get home to see the Saints open a can of whupass on the hapless Colts. Shut that game off at the half. Then, last night, we were entitled to watch perhaps the worst game in the storied history of MNF. Glad the WS was on.

What a crappy week of football. I feel gipped!
