NFL Football: Week 10 – A Final Look Back
Posted on | November 14, 2007 | No Comments
Today we’ll take our last look at Week 10. Tomorrow we’ll begin to look forward to Week 11.
My biggest surprises from this week had to be the way the Colts and the Lions performed. I was really beginning to believe in the Lions, but now I’m not so sure. If Sunday told us anything about the Lions is was that they can lose to any team on any given Sunday. And that just isn’t good enough.
The Colts lost and they lost in a bad way, but you know what? They really could have (and probably should have) won that football game. Despite the fact that Peyton Manning looked worse than his brother on Eli’s worst days, the Colts still could’ve won that game.
So what does that tell me? The Colts are still the second best team in the AFC and if they get healthy, they are the second best team in the NFL and possibly the very best.
It also tells me the San Diego Chargers aren’t very good. They didn’t have to face some of the Colts stars, they had INTs gift wrapped for them, and they had Vinatierri (Mister Automatic) miss not one but two field goals, but they still barely won the game. So let’s not start thinking the Chargers are back. Believe me, Norv Turner will find a way to keep this team dragging.
The other thing I learned this week is that the Steelers are for real in the AFC. The playoff will be great in the AFC, because I believe the Pats, the Colts, and the Steelers are all good enough to make it to the Super Bowl.
In the NFC, barring injuries, the only two teams that can really make it to the Super Bowl are the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers. I don’t think the Giants are good enough as they just lost to the Cowboys by eleven as home. The NFC West has a division full of bad teams. The NFC South has Tampa Bay but they aren’t very good. And we already talked about Detroit – they aren’t for real.
So the game in a few weeks (actually two weeks from tomorrow) between the Packers and the Cowboys could very well be a huge game. It could be for NFC supremacy and for home field advantage in the playoffs. And if Green Bay is at home when they play the Cowboys in the playoffs, then I would like the Packers’ chances.
