Brasher’s Week 4 Musings
New York Giants at Washington Another TNF blockbuster to get us all excited and looking forward to waking up Sunday for College Game Day. Word out of Washington is that Cousins could remain the starting QB regardless of the health of RG3 in the future. The Hogs FO is busy trying to recruit Kevin Costner in an attempt to deal all those draft picks back home.

Buffalo at Houston A win on Sunday will give the Texans more wins for the season than for all of last year combined. Keep going like this and you are going to win yourself all the way out of a 2015 franchise QB draft selection.

Carolina at Baltimore Two weeks ago the Ravens touched up the Steelers. Last week the Steelers dealt a similar experience to the Panthers. So the Ravens should be 5 TD favourites this week right? Lucky this is the NFL and not Oceania World Cup Qualifying so we get to play the game and better yet watch Steve Smith The Senior go up against his old club.

Green Bay at Chicago This game could end up with a basketball like score line once it is all said and done. I’m not sure either team is especially good on defence, and I’m not real sure either team has that spectacular an offensive line either. This one could come down to who has the ball in their possession last but I’m guessing it will ultimately be decided on a Jaye Cutler error as he attempts to go throw for throw with Rodgers.

Detroit at New York Jets I don’t care how well the Jets think they can or can’t play. This game and the spread gets down to one thing….which Detroit Lions team gets off the plane at JFK?

Miami vs Oakland Whilst this is a Raiders home game its actually closer to home for the Dolphins. To this point in the season Oakland has been pretty much who we thought they were whilst the Phins need to realise that the season for them is more than beating Tom Brady at home. The NFL did well in scheduling this game as far away from the public eye as possible.

Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh Lovie Smith brought in Josh McCown during the off-season to start so that Mike Glennon could sit and learn. Now McCown is nursing an injury so Glennon may have to start. But Glennon shouldn’t be rushed so maybe Lovie should start a hobbled McCown. Lovie Smith has been in Tampa for ten minutes and already orchestrating a situation that is going to get him fired.

Tennessee at Indianapolis Our thoughts are with family and friends of former place kicker Ron Bironas who was killed in a single car accident this week. Many will simply be familiar with Bironas as a fantasy football stud but he should be remembered most for being a quality gentleman, family man and all around good guy.

Jacksonville at San Diego According to Jags Head Coach, Gus Bradley, the 2015 season starts this week against the Chargers with the naming of Blake Bortles as first string QB. Must have been a tough decision to discount Chad Henne’s 4 – 7 for 33 yard first half performance against a team on the road, on a short week, missing a number of defensive starters.

Atlanta at Minnesota Teddy Bridgewater got to experience what it feels like to run out as an NFL QB last week. Teddy Bridgewater also learnt that fat guys, wearing beer stained t-shirts with long hair and whisky beards are not just good at running illegal stiles, NASCAR, hunting boar and bare handed catfishing. Some of them can put together “where the hell did he come from” blitz packages.

Philadelphia at San Francisco What has been most impressive about the Eagles so far this year is that they have got to 3-0 without any notable contributions out of LeSean McCoy and Nick Foles is putting up Marino type numbers even when not looking, well, very good......but that happens when you give up two TD leads early I suppose. Expect that to change this week against an opponent hell bent on finding new and exciting ways to shoot themselves in the foot.

New Orleans at Dallas I was genuinely surprised to hear that Morris Claiborne had walked out on the Cowboys this week…..I’d thought he’d been cut long ago. Having taken the time to understand the story I sort of empathise with Morris now, after all who wants to be set up as the weak link on a team unit where defensive backs go to die.

New England at Kansas City You got to give the Chiefs credit, with the cards they have been dealt with this year you’d be excused for handing out a few free get of jail cards to the franchise for this season. I call it the Alex Smith Effect….you can’t hate on

Thursday Night Football succckkkksssss

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Go Skins

 

[MarcusP2]

No Arizona, no Denver, no Seattle, I have little interest in this week.

 

[ausbacker]

Can't wait to see the Patriots OL go up against Poe, Houston and Hali.

 

[GreyWind]

No Arizona, no Denver, no Seattle, I have little interest in this week.

My team is playing and after that disgrace of game yesterday I'm struggling to get any interest in this week.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I am pretty keen to see how the Panthers bounce back after that awful display yesterday. They surely can't play any worse. Plenty of injuries though which makes it challenging. Hopefully DeAngelo Williams is back so we have a running back. I also reckon the Green Bay V Chicago game has the potential to be a cracker.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

To say the game in Chicago is big is a understatement. Hopefully ARod can check into the season.

 

[Zealbee]

Thank god I don't have to get up at 3 am to watch the Eagles this week.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I'm very excited for the Eagles game. Away at Santa Clara is the first real test of the season, and the first opportunity to get a good read on where we're at. I think we'll win - but I don't say that with any confidence at all.

Other than that... it's a pretty disappointing week of football. Usually I watch up to 10 condensed games during the week, but I can't find more than 3-4 that I'd bother with this week.

 

[Sven]

Teddy time in Minnesota, could see a lot of passing to keep up with the high octane Falcons offence.

btw - it was always going to be a tough game for the Vikes but will be extra tough with no Adrian Peterson (indefinitely suspended), no Kyle Rudolph (out 6 weeks sports hernia surgery), no Chad Greenway (broken hand and ribs) and no Brandon Fusco (shoulder) - that's four starters missing, not including Cassel.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

when does Palmer come back?

 

[Dagless]

Great to see my signature live up to it again.

 

[kaiserchief13]

If the Eagles win this week they'll surely be the last undefeated team with St Louis and Giants the following 2 weeks. I think they can if Vernon Davis doesn't play. If he does I think the 49ers will score 30 which the Eagles probably won't get this week.

 

[LeverPuller]

Barracking hard for the Eagles, feel that if Philly win the Niners are out of the playoff hunt

 

[Blacky]

Must be nice for Cleveland to know they can't lose this week

 

[Papa Juggs]

So after tip with the gut week the form should be a little more exposed.

Still a few tough games that you might just want to go with the home team.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

San Fran will still easily be in the race if they lose this week, 1 game behind a wildcard spot is nothing to worry about
