“Ship All Banged Up” might sink the hopes of the Houston Texans. The Texans received some horrible news yesterday when they found out QB Matt Schaub might be lost for the season with a foot injury. For a team many (including us) saw as possible Conference Champions, now steps in Matt Leinart at the quarterback position. Talk about a buzz kill for those of us who know Bong Boy to be one of the biggest flops in recent NFL history. After receiving over $30M from the Cardinals and Texans he gets the chance to lead a very good team. Are the Texans done?
Monday Night Football showed everyone who the real BMOC is. The Green Bay Packers beat up on the Minnesota Vikings 45-7 at Lambeau Field on a cool autumn night. Apparently someone didn’t tell Aaron Rodgers the score after the game as he complained the Packers still need to correct issues and get better at things like 3rd down conversion and have less negative plays. What else does he want? Jeff suggests hot towels on the sidelines. Whatever it takes to keep this team humming is good enough to keep them gold.
Speaking of Gold, it’s Tuesday and time for week 10 of Jeff’s most Powerful Rankings. Steven is REALY, REALY riled up and insists that the 49ers become a gold medal team or at least make them the only silver team. Jeff being his obstinate self says they are his rankings and anyone is allowed to do their own. He refuses to budge until they rattle an elite team on the road. They will get that opportunity in the Harbaugh Bowl on Thanksgiving day.
Other QBs in trouble due to injuries: Chiefs, Matt Cassel needs surgery on his hand and might miss rest of season. In comes Tyler Palco (?)… exactly! Eagles, Mike Vick has two broken ribs (-mmmmm RIBS) and is unlikely to play against the G-Men on Sunday. Welcome Vince Young to the party, won’t you. In Detroit, Matt Stafford fractured right index finger insists that the reason his passes lacked zip was the wind. The guys think not. And failing to make the production deadline is Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger with a broken bone on his throwing hand. Ugh!
Year of the second string! This your chance back ups SHINE, don’t be so hard on the back up quarterbacks guys. Show some love.
