And did you listen to the announcers during the game? Made me wanna hurl with all the talk about the Cowpies in the superbowl. Yuck.

Houston ran the ball well
They dominated in the run game. I think I know what direction our game plan will be going next week.
If they're gonna double Smith at every turn
and their run D remains dismal, we should have a field day offensively. But next week will def be a test for our pass D. Peyton still passed for over 400 yards (albeit being behind the whole game).
Let them double Smith
Ham and Nicks are more explosive.

more than 150
of Peyton’s passing yardage was during garbage time in the Colts last 2 possessions down 17 points.

what the Giants gotta do
is control the clock. On O..and on D.
If they can limit big plays and force the Colts to long, tedious drives…they’ll have a good shot.

Eli's INT
Twice within 20 minutes on Mike and Mike this morning Greeny said “Eli had a good game but threw 3 picks”. He claims he watched every game (I’m not sure how anyone could do that) but was making excuses for one of Sam Bradford’s 3 INTs saying it was a hail mary to end the game.

Wow
I avoided watching Mike and Mike this morning because I knew they would say that. There is no way he watched the game because he would of ended that statement with “that all went off his WRs hands”. Idiots
Plus everyone is going to make excuses for Bradford, especially ESPN

Misc Notes
1) I never would have thought Seattle would beat SanFran 31-6, to me that was the biggest surprise yesterday. Alex Smith looks horrible.
2) For all the people whining about the rule in the Bears/Lions game, they are forgetting why the rule was put in the first place…. To eliminate the “touch” catches that were so prevalent previous where the guy possessed the ball for a whopping .5 seconds and was given a catch that could only be determined by instant replay. We had this same whining argument before when the rule was the OTHER way… I’d be curious to see how they “tweak” the rule.
3) Other that all Philly players having the Clap, the next best thing would be for them to have a QB controversy!!! Good luck to them, couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.
4) I had to laugh about the Dallas game. They are just so perpetually overrated its laughable. Good for DMcNabb, although I hate Philly, in my opinion he has always been a class act and i hope he sticks it to them going back there.
5) Did anyone watch that WVU – Marshall game. If you watched the whole game, you would have a good feel for how bad a loss that was. One of the worse I have ever seen.
6) Wow, that QB from Michignan looks scary, but I geuss a lot of guys look that way against the ND defense.
7) The Bengals are the Bengals, the Raiders are the Raiders.
Go Ravens!!!!
watched both college games
Felt so bad for Marshall. Playing West V since 1911 and have never beat them. And on the 40th Anniv. of the tradegy. They blew it so bad when it was in their hands in the 4th quarter.
Being a ND fan, that was bad to watch, who would of thought Lil Montana sucks. That Michigen QB is nasty, 850 total yards in 2 games.
Superman is back!
