Well, not a horrible weekend. 4-2 on Saturday and 2-2 on Sunday (thank you very much Giants prevent offense in 2nd half). Bringing us almost all the way back to .500 at 10-11. Looking forward to this week of drinking and gambling.
How about them Browns? Well, how about them Browns in the first half? The Browns looked like a competetive football team in the first half. Their offense was sputtering all game, but a first year QB will have that. They did get some pressure on Favre and completely shut down Adrian Peterson in the first half, but that only lasts for so long with that guy. All in all, the Browns, while they had some lapses, look like a competetive football team. I am not saying they are winning more than 6 games, but they should be in a lot of games and look like an NFL team unlike last year.
Finally, I don't want to go as far as to say Ohio State needs to fire Jim Tressel, because he is good for the program and teaches kids the right way to do things. BUT, if he does not get someone in their to start calling the plays and opening up the offense, then he needs to go. There is no reason that with the talent the Ohio State has had over Tressel's tenure that they should not be scoring more points. Pete Carroll proved why he is one of the best coaches in the country, because he knows his team has talent and makes them show it on the field. Carroll goes on the road and attempts (and converts) 4 fourth downs because he has confidence that his team will get the job done. And they did. The Buckeyes have no excuse for not winning that game as they dominated every aspect except the scoreboard, and that is on Tressel.
Stay tuned for this weeks picks starting with the Thursday showdown at the U.
