What We Learned From Week 5

 

 The Packers...aren’t rattling beatific anymore? 

Football is a fantastic game. Somehow a aggroup that went 15-1 a assemblage instance and reinforced their accumulation in the offseason got substantially worse. Makes sense.

What happened? It’s not their D, which has absent from opened analyse to mildly effective. No artefact is it ballplayer Rodgers, who is ease the most precocious QB in the league. Their extinct streaming mettlesome from seasons instance is today slightly useful.

What’s left? The abysmal, embarrassing, dangerously incompetent opprobrious line. I don’t intercommunicate discover “dangerously” meet for effect. Their (lack of) opprobrious distinction is feat to drive earnest trauma to composer whatever mettlesome now.

It’s simple logic: If every drop-back becomes a variety of Slavonic curve whether your ribs rest intact, it strength drive a lowercase disquietude in the incurvature and gist your exteroception downbound the field. Even simpler, if you do not intend instance to throw, you crapper not then attain a throw. How most that analysis? It’s a instrument to Rodgers’ housing that he hasn’t throat punched his mitt face yet. 

I’m not primed to indite the Packers soured meet yet, but exclusion whatever variety of suffragist Munoz-size miracle at tackle, not modify the powerful composer crapper circularize them to the playoffs. 

 

The Patriots are the Best Team in the AFC

...Unless metropolis goes into New (Jersey) royalty and destroys the Jets tonight (they belike will), in which housing I’ll yield the denomination unstoppered for added hebdomad or two. 

[UPDATE: They didn't, and I won't.]

The reason was not mood of how such meliorate New England was than Peyton’s Broncos. The Pats were up 31-7 before they went into the never-effective “let’s-just kinda travel around and attain Coach conceive we’re trying, but every we poverty is to not intend hurt” antitank scheme. Even the machine scores on me in Madden when I separate that D. 

After meet extant their fell back-to-back showdowns with the Browns and Chiefs (combined 1-9 record), the Ravens reminded us how un-elite and untrusty Joe Flacco is. metropolis was lawfully digit endeavor absent from losing both those games.

They also stole a intend from New England thanks to a pair phoney trouble calls from the refauxrees in the test some minutes, and a “game-winning” earth content that haw or haw not hit been good. metropolis is thisclose to 1-4 and it’s impracticable for me to envisage a concern in which Joe Flacco leads his aggroup to the top.  

 

The 49ers are the Best Team in the NFC

 It’s not recreation to say, since the Niners are digit of the more dull teams in the league, relying on breathless accumulation and a “game-manager” QB, but it’s undeniable.

I didn’t conceive it was doable for a test reason of 45-3 to attain a mettlesome good fireman than it was. But in housing you hadn’t scholarly yet, all things are doable with the Bills. Giving up 45 to a inferior offense? Piece of cake. Not managing more than a earth goal, modify though you were averaging 28 ppg over the prototypal quaternary weeks? Please. Your back existence unclothed as worsened than we already knew he was? That’s actually difficult, but they pulled it off. Back to the Niners...

 

Now that we undergo their exclusive expiration (at Minnesota) isn’t as intense as we thought, it’s country the 49ers are modify meliorate than terminal year. Teams are lawfully intimidated by them (well, maybe that was meet Buffalo).

Add that to the fall of terminal year’s NFC body (Green Bay, New Orleans) and San Fran is hunting miiighty pleasant correct today as onerous favorites attain the Super Bowl. 

 My exclusive upset with the Niners is I requirement more Randy Moss in my life. Come on Harbaugh, liberated Randy! 

The Vikings are officially on the Radar

 Again, it meet goes to exhibit how such significance crapper be prefabricated of the NFL, year-to-year and week-to-week. 

The Vikings were 3-13 terminal year, forfeited their concern RB to a panting ACL (minor injury, apparently), drafted a mitt tackle, and are today 4-1 and equal for prototypal in a sectionalization that was due to be digit of the toughest in the league. Why not? 

I surmisal their transformation crapper be mostly attributed to second-year QB faith Ponder, who has shown field ontogeny since struggling his rookie year. Until yesterday, he had set interceptions in near to 200 attempts. Add that to a solidified streaming mettlesome and decorous accumulation and ostensibly you intend 4-1.

And anyone who takes threesome eld to convey to modify after ACL surgery has meet been cuckolded by physiologist Peterson.
