Rounding out week #10 of the NFL season, I've come to notice some big things from unlikely places.

The first, and I'd like to apologize and eat my words from this weekend, when i said the Bengal's are a first round bust. The '09 Bengals are the REAL DEAL! I watched them play the defending NFL champs, and stick it to them. It seemed like every time I watched Worthlessberger drop back, he was getting dropped by that hawiian dude with the pony tail...Sha-ney-ney or something, or one of the Bengals linebackers...Chad Ochostinko obviously wasn't kidding when he went against that A-hole critic on ESPN and said they were going 12-4 this year. He's gained alot of respect in my book and hopefully he can make it to the big stage this year in January! And need I bring up adding 3rd down RB larry Johnson to the mix??? The Bengals may become one of the toughest teams to beat...

Secondly, It seems that this year in the NFL, it's a capitalist league where 4 or 5 elite teams are winning 95% of the time, and the rest have only 2 or 3 wins all together. Including my Niners, who need atleast 4 more wins to make the playoffs behind Mike Singletary.

Third order of business...Colts vs. Saints in the Superbowl? What a matchup! This is the dream game this year I feel, the battle of the (currently) unbeatens. Both teams however, have to face some scrappy teams that could easily come out and blast them. The Saints in particular still have to face the Patriots, as well as a slew of tough NFC teams including the C-boys, ATLiens, and the new and improved Panthers the last game of the season. The Colts Still have to face the Ravens, and Denver before season end. I feel that the Colts still have the best chance at running the table out of these two teams. However, should these teams meet, Saints all the way. Better rounded team against the all offense Colts. The D of the saints would shut down Manning, and hold him to 2 TD's(which is whatr i consider shutting down Manning! HAHA).

Lastly, What the heck happened to the Giants?!?!? They were coming out early on in the season, scoring mad points and putting subs in during the 3rd quarter, and now they can't even close a game out without being embarrased...geez, I had alot of faith in these guys early on, and now, nothing. I hope they are sitting back like they did in 07 and waiting until the end of the season to make a run at the Superbowl...

feel free to add anything noteworthy in the NFL...
