The Shenoa Report

Regular Season Week 9
I don’t even know where to start?! Week 8 was crazy! There are some horrible football teams out there this season *cough cough* Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers. Even the Detroit Lions have a better record this season than these 3 teams!
Mentioning the Lions brings me to my second point. Mike Shanahan, you sound like one of my 3 yr olds trying to talk your way out of a corner. Just admit, YOU BLEW IT by taking McNabb out and putting Rex Grossman in. Big mistake, BIG, HUGE, mistake. I mean really? Your go to guy is Grossman? Come on! And that’s how Detroit got their 2nd win of the season hand delivered by Shanahan.
Brad Childress, another stellar coach in the NFL this season (please note my sarcasm) really has some major problems. He can’t manage his team, he continues to start a QB who is less than impressive this season while his backup QB is an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. He traded a third round draft pick with the Patriots to acquire Randy Moss and then not even a month later put Moss on waivers. Sports Center did a poll earlier this week on whether or not Childress should be fired and out of almost 100,000 people who responded to the poll 80% agreed he should be fired. The Minneapolis Star Tribune did a similar poll and 90% agreed he should be fired. Fans are not happy and neither is Zygi Wilf the owner of the Vikings. Childress is in some pretty hot water.
And finally Randy Moss… He’s on his 3rd NFL team this season! After being put on wavers 20 teams passed on picking him up! 20 TEAMS didn’t want to deal with his nonsense. If that doesn’t humble a person I don’t think anything will. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what kind of stink he makes in Tennessee. Any one want to bet that he’s back in New England by the end of the season or jobless????
With that all being said let us now recap week 8.
Denver @ San Francisco 16-24
I am horrible at picking games. And Denver is horrible at winning games. I was wrong I thought that Denver would win this game. I was definitely wrong. PS my mom went back though my past Shenoa Reports and calculated my picks… I am right exactly 50% of the time…. Not a good stat. I’m going to try to get better the second half of the season.
Jacksonville @ Dallas 35-17
Yeah Dallas sucks… the end.
Miami @ Cincinnati 22-14
Cincinnati did a pretty good job of keeping Miami out of the end zone but still allowed 5 field goals and one TD and lost the game.
Buffalo @ Kansas City 10-13 OT
This is the second week that a Buffalo game has gone into OT and the seventh time that the Bills have not come up with a win. Oh Buffalo I don’t know what else to say…. 0-7 … ouch.
Washington @ Detroit 25-37
I was glad to see Detroit win but not at the expense of McNabb. I would love to know what was going on in the mind of Shanahan to take McNabb out and put Grossman in…. what an idiot.
Carolina @ Saint Louis 10-20
No surprise here. Sam Bradford looked good for a rookie QB with 2 TD’s and no interceptions. I can’t say the same for Matt Moore and the Panthers.
Green Bay @ New York Jets 9-0
Watching this game I was STUNNED. I’ve got to hand it to GB though…. They played a great game. Its been a real long time since the Jets have been shut out at home.
Tennessee @ San Diego 25-33
I was very glad to see the Chargers get out of their funk. Thank you for helping out my Colts. Tennessee I don’t know whether to congratulate you on the new addition to your team or send condolences. At least you have a bye week to figure things out.
Minneapolis @ New England 18-28
As I expected scenario 3 practically came true. The Pats knocked out Favre but it was too late in the game for Tavaris Jackson to turn the game around. When is Childress going to get a clue…. Maybe soon he won’t have to because he’ll be fired for being such a sucky coach. Argh. On a side note Randy Moss had an uneventful game against his former team and then got the boot….
Tampa Bay @ Arizona 38-35
The Bucs seem to be the rally back team. It’s hard to believe they are in 5-2. It is truly anyone’s year… well except for the Panthers, Cowboys, and Bills… it’s definitely not their year…
Seattle @ Oakland 3-33
Oakland is really surprising everyone this year. They are playing some decent football and seem to be killing the competition.
Pittsburgh @ New Orleans 10-20
I was glad to see the Saints win this game and even happier to see Roethlisberger hit the ground so many times thanks to the Saints defense. Good game boys good game.
Houston @ Indianapolis 17-30
This game sure did not disappoint! The Colts team came in with 3 key players out and somehow Peyton and the Indi defense came out with a fantastic win. Peyton had an awesome game throwing 2 TD’s, no interceptions, a rushing 1st down, and he even threw a block. He is my hero.
WEEK 9
Tampa Bay @ Atlanta
Both teams lead the NFC South at 5-2. I’ll pick Atlanta this week. I don’t think that the Bucs will be the come back kids Sunday.
Chicago @ Buffalo
Hey Buffalo lets win this week in regulation…. Against my best instincts I’m picking the Bills to win this. Yeah I don’t know why either. Chicago is 4-3 and Buffalo is of course 0-7
New England @ Cleveland
My picks are so bad because I usually want Cleveland to win and always want New England to lose. So once again I’m going with my heart and picking the Browns to win this one. The Browns are 2-5 and desperately need a win… New England is 6-1
New York Jets @ Detroit
Detroit got lucky last week and it isn’t going to happen again this week unless Suh has another big week but I think that the Jets are going to be ready this time. NY is 5-2 and Detroit is 2-5
Arizona @ Minnesota
Arizona’s got this. The Vikings are falling apart and quite frankly I’m tired of all their shenanigans. For the love of God bench Favre, start Jackson, and fire Childress. Arizona is 3-4 and Minnesota is 2-5
New Orleans @ Carolina
Another coach that should be fired is John Fox. Carolina is horrible this year. I think its safe to say that the Saints will win this game. Maybe I’ll wear my Shockey shirt today and walk around the streets of Charlotte. New Orleans is 5-3 and the Panthers are 1-6
Miami @ Baltimore
This should be a good game. I’m going with the Ravens this week. I hope that their defense plays well because I haven’t won fantasy football in 3 weeks. Miami is 4-3 and Baltimore is 5-2
San Diego @ Houston
The Chargers need to win this one. Houston has a short week this week being that they lost to the Colts this past Monday. Hopefully they won’t be prepared enough for this game and the Chargers will win. Houston has the better record but San Diego needs the win more and so do I. San Diego is 3-5 and Houston is 4-3
New York Giants @ Seattle
The Giants will be facing a 2nd string QB in Seattle this weekend and with the way that the G-Men’s defense has been playing Seattle might want to get their 3rd string QB lined up and ready to go as well. The Giants should be very well rested coming off their bye week and ready to win this football game. I’m going with the Giants! They are 5-2 while the Seahawks are 4-3
Kansas City @ Oakland
The Raiders are on a rampage and will put a hurting on KC. I am still confused that KC leads the AFC West at 5-2 but it won’t be long because Oakland is 4-4 and ready to take over.
Indianapolis @ Philadelphia
I hate Philly and LOVE Indi. Go Colts! Peyton exudes confidence in his team and will lead them to victory again this week. And to quote Stuart Scott "I feel like picking against Peyton Manning is like not filing a income tax return, ethically wrong and illegal." I feel the same way Stuart. I feel the same way. Oh yeah the Colts are 5-2 and the Eagles are 4-3
Dallas @ Green Bay
Dallas doesn’t have a chance… Wade Phillips… another coach that will be looking for a job at the end of this season. Dallas is 1-6 and Green Bay is 5-3
Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati
I’d like to see Cincinnati pull off the upset but I won’t hold my breath. It was nice to see Big Ben get knocked around last weekend… maybe it’ll happen again this weekend. The Steelers are 5-2 and the Bengals are 2-5
This week’s byes are the Broncos, Jaguars, 49ers, Rams, Titans, and Redskins
Enjoy! GO GIANTS & COLTS!!!!!!!
PS a special thanks to my mom for editing for me!
