As Seen on TV

Here are a few tidbits I picked up from watching the games, not the box scores, this week.

To those who started Bernard Scott and are lamenting Carson Palmer's two rushing touchdowns.  Save the energy.  Brian Leonard was their goal line guy Sunday anyway.  You'll want to know that if Benson can't go next week.

I've been high on the fantasy worthiness of the Seahawks all year (largely due to their favorable schedule), but that team wouldn't have beat Cleveland yesterday.  Wow are they bad.  Poor talent (especially on the offensive line), poor play calling, and a defense that plays the part of butter to the hot knife.

Maybe this isn't breaking news, but Jay Cutler is not a good quarterback right now.  He missed a lot of throws last night that would have resulted in big plays for the Bears.

Kurt Warner will probably be back next week.  Peter King wrote this morning that he took himself out of the game yesterday.

Rex Ryan almost blew a gasket when Brady (out of the shotgun) took a shot deep to Moss with less than a minute left in the game and the Pats up by 17.  Think that had anything to do with Darrelle Revis?

Told you Matt Leinart isn't good.

Anquan Boldin looks much better than he did two weeks ago.  He's back to starter worthy.

Jamaal Charles is fast, really fast.

Washington's play calling is atrocious.  What a terrible sequence that led to the Cowboys having a chance to win that game.  Fourth quarter, Skins up 6-0.  Second and four at the Dallas 33.  Halfback dive, straight into a run blitz up the middle from the Cowboys, gain of two.  Third and two.  Convert and the Cowboys have very little chance to win.  Cowboys show the same inside run blitz, and the Skins run a fullback dive straight up the gut.  Loss of two yards.  Missed 50 yard field goal.  Ballgame.

I have no idea what is wrong with the Cowboys offense.

I saw not on, not two, but a handful of drops by Braylon Edwards yesterday.  He and Roy Williams are neck and neck in the MVP race for the Roberto Duran All-stars.  Right now, it's Edwards award to lose.  By the way, the rest of the team is comprised of Darrius Heyward-Bey, TO, Troy Williamson, Limas Sweed, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, and Ted Ginn Jr.

I don't know what's wrong with Donnie Avery, but there has to be some reason why Brandon Gibson was targeted 17 times by Marc Bulger Sunday.  Gibson only caught five passes in the game, by the way, and he and Bulger looked totally out of sync.  It was really strange that they kept throwing it to him.
