NFL Week 14

Mark · Dec 12, 2004

I hope no one minds if I get this started early...

Any thoughts on the match up this week?

I'm wondering how well Curtis Martin will do against the Steeler defense.

I'm looking forward to seeing if Peyton Manning will be setting any new single-game passing records against the Houston bottom-of-the-barrel pass defense.

I fear that the Washington defense might be too tough for Brian Westbrook.

Any other thoughts?

Bengels will give the Patriots a game. Chargers continue their winning. Steelers again find a way to win.

edit: and the 49ers make sure they have the first drafty pick so they can get the USC QB.....

Some nice early games. Bengals looked okay but turned the ball over too much, Ravens dominated, and the Browns...well, 17 yeards of total offense speaks for itself.

17 yards... I couldn't believe that when I saw it...

Go Jets! (I can't believe I'm cheering for the Jets...)

The Jets Steelers game is defense....three zip in one half, jets have tons of penaties and a pair of turnovers.

Well they grossed close to 100 yards of offense. It's just that the BUFFALO BILLS defense sacked them eight times for -79 yards. Go Bills!

Wish I could have watched it, but (a) it wasn't televised and (b) I spent most of the afternoon working on a short (maybe 500 yard) move.

Steelers win another close game and sloppy game. I didn't see it but the stats seem to indicate that the Steeler offense needs to be found. They have some tough games ahead of them and fighting for home field advantage against a Patriots team that has a much easier schedule will be tough.

Bucs are 7 points down, and looking for an onside kick. Forlorn hope time. But not totally hopeless. And it's no good. Not enough distance.

And the Chargers win, 31-24. Go 10 and 3.

I don't see that happening at the moment. Leinhart says he wants to stay at USC and use up all of his college eligibility. But things could always change...money motivates people.

plus the 49ers won...now if they can only play Arizona for a third time this season......

the draft is a very difficult thing to predict. and money makes a lot of people come out earlier then they should, personally I'd love to see him back at USC next year.

Well, the playoff race is really looking to be something. Lots of good games in the last few weeks.
