The Shenoa Report Regular Season Week 5 '12


The Shenoa Report
October 3, 2012
Regular Season Week 5

It’s always a little bit harder to write this report after a Giants loss. I felt ill after the game. But I was hopeful that the Bears would raise my spirits in Monday night football, and they did.
I am thankful that the refs are back, I’m pretty sure the rest of the football nation is glad too. They even got a standing ovation for their return before the game Thursday night. Now we all know these refs aren’t perfect and will make mistakes, they already blew a few calls this weekend, but at least they maintained control of the game. 
My picks were also a lot better this week. 12-3
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month in the NFL. Just remember real men wear pink! 
Let’s recap week 4.


Browns @ Baltimore 16-23
This was a great game to welcome the real refs back. The Browns really showed promise and almost came back to win.

Patriots @ Bills 52-28
If you only count the first half of this game the Bills looked great and would have won. Maybe someone should remind Buffalo that the game has 4 quarters and you shouldn’t quit after the first half. This was an ugly day for Bills fans. If nothing else, you can say that the Bills and the Pats have the same record.

Chargers  @ Chiefs 37-20
At least the Chiefs are consistently bad. You can count on them for that. Sorry if you’re a Chiefs fan, you’ve got a long season ahead of you.

Titans @ Texans 14-38
Interceptions are one thing but, when they are returned for touchdowns it hurts a lot more. This was the case for the Titans and largely the reason why they didn’t win on Sunday.

49ers  @ Jets 34-0
Do you hear that? Yes, they are chanting TEBOW, TEBOW, TEBOW! Hey Rex Ryan, did you hear that? I bet his name haunted your dreams last night. It can’t get much worse for the Jets, you might as well give the people what they want. And that’s Tim Tebow. 
The 49ers on the other hand were quite happy with the way the Jets played.

Seahawks @ Rams 13-19
Shorty McShorterson forgot that interceptions really don’t win games and threw 3. The last one put an end to the game and sealed the Seahawks loss.

Panthers @ Falcons 28-30
This game was heartbreaking for Panthers fans.  They had the lead and let it slip through their fingers at the end of the game. Those last second field goals are killer.

Vikings @ Lions 20-13
The Vikings are really showing promise this year. They must finally be getting the last of the Favre stench out of the air. And the Lions, well they look like the Lions of yesteryears. Poor Lions.

Bengals @ Jaguars 27-10
The Ginger strikes again with another win for the Bengals.

Raiders @ Broncos 6-37
Well it looks like Peyton Manning and the Broncos finally got it together. YAY!

Dolphins @ Cardinals 21-24 OT
I can’t believe I’m writing this. The Arizona Cardinals are now 4-0. It took an overtime to do it… but they did it. Wow.  

Redskins @ Buccaneers 24-22
Oh, this game was SO CLOSE. It broke my heart a little bit to see the Bucs loose. Like I said those last second field goals are killer.

Saints @ Packers 27-28
Wow, it was a super close game. I honestly didn’t think it would have been that close. And this was another game that came down to a field goal in the final minutes. Only this time the field goal was missed and the Saints drop to 0-4.

NY Giants @ Eagles 17-19
I’m still feeling ill after this loss. I really don’t want to talk about it. As I sat there watching the final seconds of the game I kept saying over and over and over again, “don’t leave it up to Tynes…”


Bears @ Cowboys 34-18
If anything could make me feel better after a Giants loss it would be a trouncing of the Cowboys. So thank you Bears for making me feel a little bit better. Romo threw 5 interceptions!!!!!! He’s getting to be in good competition with Vick.

WEEK 5

Thursday October 4th

Cardinals [4-0]  @ Rams [2-2] (8:20pm NFLN)
I really don’t think that the Cardinals can keep this winning streak up but at the same time I don’t want to bet against them. On the other hand, I didn’t think that the Rams could beat Seattle last week… ok I’m going to pick Arizona

Sunday October 7th

Browns [0-4] @ NY Giants [2-2] (1pm CBS)
This will probably be a tough game, and a close game but I’m picking the Giants to bounce back from last week and win.  GO GMEN!!!!

Dolphins [1-3]  @ Bengals [3-1]  (1pm CBS)
I’m taking the Bengals.

Ravens [3-1]  @ Chiefs [1-3]   (1pm CBS)
Going with the Ravens.

Eagles [3-1]   @ Steelers [1-2]   (1pm FOX)
As much as I hate this sentence that is about to come out of my mouth… I’m not only picking the Steelers to win I will be rooting for them too.  PS I hate the Eagles. … more than Big Ben… well it’s a tie actually but right now I hate the Eagles a little more.

Packers [2-2]  @ Colts [1-2] (1pm FOX)
Going with the Packers.

Falcons [4-0] @ Redskins [2-2]   (1pm FOX)
GOOOOOO FALCONS WIN WIN WIN. Yeah I’m picking the Falcons

Seahawks [2-2] @ Panthers [1-3] (4:05pm FOX)
I’m going to take the Panthers. Yes that’s right. I might be crazy.

Bears [3-1] @ Jaguars [1-3] (4:05pm FOX)
I’m picking DA BEARS!

Broncos [2-2] @ Patriots [2-2] (4:25pm CBS)
As much as I would like to see Peyton Manning beat Tom Brady…. Well, the heck with it. I’m taking the Broncos… ballsy I know. I’m just tired of picking the Pats.  

Bills [2-2]  @ 49ers [3-1]  (4:25pm CBS)
Pretty sure the 49ers have already got this one in the bag.

Titans [1-3] @ Vikings [3-1] (4:25pm CBS)
Sorry Abby, I’ve got to pick the Vikings.

Chargers [3-1]  @ Saints [0-4]   (8:20pm NBC)
Ok I really don’t think that the Saints are going to go 0-5 so I’m going to have to pick New Orleans to win this game.

Monday October 8th  

Texans [4-0] @ Jets [2-2]    (8:30pm ESPN)
Even if they put Tebow in I’m going to have to pick the Texans.

BYE WEEK: COWBOYS, LIONS, RAIDERS, BUCCANEERS


GOOOOOOOOOOOOO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the edit Mom
