I got the Sunday Ticket. Since the Bills weren't in action today, I relaxed on the sofa with my clicker and watched as much football as possible. Here are some random non-Bills notes I collected.
* I think Bill Cowher made an awful decision to not start Charlie Batch and stick with Big Ben. For one he's coming off a concussion, for another he's simply just not there physically or mentally.. This guy should've taken more time off. He's been AWFUL this year, Pittsburgh is almost out of the playoff race already.. Might want to sit him and let him heal, he has an entire career ahead of him.
* The Raiders may suck, but that defense is pretty sweet.
* Most Bills fans could care less, but if the season continues the way its going, this was a good bye week for the Bills. Why? Well because Tennesee, Cleveland and the Raiders all won to get to two victories, the same as Buffalo. As of right now (again, if you're eyeing a high draft pick) only Detroit, Miami and Arizona (1 win) have fewer wins..
* I think Michael Vick is finally becoming a great quarterback. 20-28 for 293 yards and 3 TD's and 55-yards rushing. Thats back to back great games against quality teams.
* I could care less what his stat-lines I'm seeing, Vince Young is a straight up LEADER and a proven winner. Tennesee is pretty God awful across the board, yet Young has led them to two straight victories. He looks poised, he doesnt make any stupid mistakes, and he's playing smart. His 20-yard TD run was brilliant. Most importantly, he's ALREADY becoming the unquestioned leader of that team. I look for little things. WHen he gets hit, half the damn team goes over to help him up. He has command of that team already and the respect of his teammates and coaches.
* Tampa only put up 3 points.. and oh my god their offense line is horrible; but I like the way Gradkowksi plays. I think he's a keeper. Not that Buffalo would be interested in him anyway, but I think Chris SImms won't be in Tampa next year.
* Talk about problems on the offensive line.. Buffalo's looks like the Super Bowl era Bills compared to Arizona. Wow, those guys don't block ANYBODY and the can't pass protect to save their life. I'm not sure Edge had a single hole to hit the entire game. Leonard Davis is going to be a UFA at tackle. You can have him, I dont want him.. That line is deplorable.
* David Garrad had boring numbers, but he manages a game well. His win today at Philly reminded me of the best game Losman played all year, when he threw for only 80 something yards at Miami. AGain, not that I'd want him anyway, but I think Leftwich is going to be available, I think Garrad is going to end up with the Jags job.
* Looking forward to watching Green Bay vs Buffalo next week. The Pack are getting better. Farve looks like he's having fun again. They have some good young receivers. Our front seven better find a way to stop Ahman Green.
* Seneca Wallace looked good for Seattle in a tough road venue in Kansas City. There are a good handful of teams that have valuable backup quarterbacks in this league.
* Peyton Manning was unbelievable today.. 18-22, 232 yards and 3 TDs in the SECOND Half AT Denver today. I'm not looking forward to facing him in two weeks. That could get REALLY ugly. We gotta be able to run the ball and make the game shorter.
