Seattle vs Green Bay week 3 halftime
Unbelieveable, but it’s only half time in the Seattle game. It’s the Seattle Seahawks against the Green Bay Packers on 09-24-12. The unusual part is that Arron Rodgers has been sacked 8 times already!
When the game started I was really pulling for Green Bay, but the Seahawks defense has been extremely effective in shutting down Rodgers. Whether they can keep it up in the second half remains to be seen.
New England vs Baltimore week 3
By now most of you reading this post will have already heard that the New England Patriots lost to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday 09-23-12 with a score 31 to 30.
Another game that had a number of mishaps (some say bad calls) by those officiating the game. I don’t want to pass judgement on the replacement officials since I can’t claim that I would do better, (even though on some calls I might have) and it’s easy for us watching the replays to say things like “That was a bad call etc”.
It is my sincere hope that the league will get the contract dispute settled, although some sources say that it is currently getting no where. I just want to get back to enjoying the game more, and with all these distractions with the officials it is taking a bit of enjoyment away from the game.
The game was mostly a lot of fun to watch and I was impressed with the resolve and professionalism of Torrey Smith who had only learned of his younger brother passing away just earlier that day. Way to go Torrey for scoring 2 touchdowns on such a day and may you and your family recieve comfort.
More and more this season we are seeing quarterbacks be given a little more freedom on the fieild and a number of them are honing their skills and doing a good job of calling audbles at the line and converting well on the no-huddle plays. Tom Brady of New England is one such quarterback and in fact at one point during the second half it really did appear that Brady would be successful and take the Patriots to victory but such was not the case.
All in all though a good game.
Don’t forget about this week’s upcoming games
Don’t forget about this week’s upcoming games.
One of the hot games on Sunday is gonna be the Patriot game. As of the time of this writing Bet Online has them at +2.5 against the Ravens.
I am actually more interested to see how Peyton Manning does after a poor start last week and whether he can keep the rythym going that he had in the second half of the game against the Falcons.
Atlanta vs Denver in week 2
Unbelievable how rocky of a start Peyton Manning and Denver had during the first half of this game. I can’t remember how long it has been since I watched a game that had 3 interceptions in a single quarter and the fact that all 3 turnovers were interceptions that Manning threw just makes it that much more rare.
In fact at the half Denver had turned the ball over 4 times, 3 from interceptions and one fumble.
Denver was able to improve their game greatly during the second half, but it wasn’t quite enough and Atlanta came out with the win. The final score was Atlanta 27 Denver 21.
You gotta give the Atlanta defense a lot of credit since they kept Manning and the rest of the Bronco defense on their toes which could be seen in the many audibles and changes Manning called before the snap.
Tampa vs NY in week 2
Rarely do I post in the middle of a game but the Buc’s game has me on the edge of my seat.
I honestly thought the game was close to decided mid way through the 3rd quarter but I could not have been more wrong.
Throughout the first part of the game NY was just not able to capitalize on 3rd down conversions, especially in their own territory. That changed toward the end of the third quarter and by the fourth the Giants were back in the game.
This certainly turned things around and made the fourth quarter quite exciting.
Although thew Bucs got the ball back with only 31 seconds left in the game, Eli Manning was doing a good job of moving the ball down the field and getting the clock stopped, but the interception he threw in the last play sewed it up and gave NY their first win of the season. Final score was 41 to 34 with the Giants on top.

Rookie quarterbacks doing great preseason 2012
There have been a number of reports and articles talking about rookie quarterbacks and their performance during the first few weeks of the pre-season in 2012.
Many commentators, sports journalists and blog writers have speculated and given their opinions as to why they seem to be doing so much better than those of previous years.
Although they do not all agree, the general consensus surrounding the reasons for this is based more on what has been taking place in college ball. There has been a bit of a change on the college football fields around the country, and if you compare how the teams of the past few years to 10 years ago you can see that the passing game of many schools has improved considerably.
This has led to more quarterbacks having much more experience with passing by the time they get to training camps and also giving them more confidence. That has translated to rookie quarterbacks being much more effective and accurate, and has made many of them more aware and better able to perform in or out of the pocket.
Only time will tell if those teams that are willing to play, (or even start) their rookies more this year will pay off for them in more yards added to the stats and more touchdowns scored.
