Week 7 Wrap-up

Sorry for the late post...I was...ummmm...busy (read: lazy) yesterday. I will start this week's post by saying that a win is a win is a win is a win! So, let us remember that we are complaining over a win...

I was at the game this past week, and from inside the stadium, it didn't look nearly as bad as it did on television. As in the Giants game and the Green Bay game, we just completely fell apart in the second half. This offense is really, really bad...and in my opinion, it's all coaching. What is going on with the play calling? Our offensive line is tattered, yet we continue to think that we can ice games by running with a completely inept Clinton Portis and a non-existent Ladell Betts. COME ON!! Throw the damn ball.

Now, I've been complaining all year about this team and some of it's players. But, let's look at the reality (and I'm in no way even sipping the kool-aid here). We are 4-2. I'll repeat...we are 4-2. I think everyone needs to step back and think about that. Last year we were 5-11...5-11. We are not the Patriots or Colts, but we're in the hunt. We are worth mentioning, and I think that is worth noting. For some reason, people in the town are expecting us to go from 5-11 to 14-2 or something...that's not going to happen. So, let's be happy with the fact that we might be better than last year. We've got the makings of a franchise QB in Jason Campbell. Our defense is one of the best in the league again. Our special teams is playing well also. All these things, in my book, spell P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S.

Week 7 Cuts:
- Clinton Portis (taking the top spot because...well, geez...ya'll saw the game)
- Carlos Rodgers (still bad...his mistakes are masked by our stellar safeties...nice INT drop though)
- Brandon Lloyd (no list is complete without him)

Week 7 Props:
- London Fletcher (dude is a stud...I'll overlook the personal foul penalty)
- Andre Carter (he's making our D-line relevant)
- Jason Campbell (please let him throw the ball)

Note: Derek Frost and Shaun are off the list this week because Frost has started shanking punts and Shaun has missed a couple of kicks. They'll probably be back next week.
