NFL Week 4 Recap; Real Scores Vs Proposed Scores

In week 4 of the National Football League, it was a week of highs and lows. Many teams looked great as they pummeled their opponents into the ground, while their opponents themselves must be rather embarrassed with their performance.

Teams that looked good:

Indianapolis - While the game did not look all that tough coming into it, Peyton Manning insured that this one was not even close as he threw for over 350 yards, alone with 2 touchdowns keeping the Colts looking good undefeated.

Miami - It has been quite a disappointing year for Miami, up until this game where they thrashed Buffalo. They defense looked good as they forced three interceptions, the run could not be stopped, and Chad Henne did a good job of managing the offense.

Houston - The Texans kept it call together as they trounced the Raiders on Sunday, as Steve Slaton did his part with a rushing and receiving touchdown.

Jacksonville - Another disappointment this season up until this game was the Jaguars, but they started to sway opinion in the other direction with their destruction of rival Tennessee. For a running team like Jacksonville, it was impressive to see over 300 passing yards and 3 touchdowns through the air.

Teams that looked bad:

Oakland: Their offense was in disarray as they were routed by Houston this Sunday. They need to create some sort of running game to get this offense on the right track and help out lackluster QB play.

Tennessee: What happened to the Titans? is the defense even alive out there? could they really be this bad?

Buffalo: They gave 250 net yards rushing in their disappointing loss to the Miami Dolphins, they were looking like they were improving this year. Key word: Were

Tampa Bay: There's not much to say here, they need an overhaul. Now.

NFL Week 3 Recap; Real Scores Vs Proposed Scores

Well week 3 is over and let's look at how the game's went and what kind of moving and shaking teams are doing with a 3rd game under their belt.

Teams Keeping Their Dominance

New Orleans - Even in a game where the passing attack was not statistically ridiculous the Saints trounced Buffalo with a potent rushing attack and efficient football.

Both New York Teams (Giants and Jets) - With the Giants shutout of Tampa and the Jets victory over Tennessee they are looking better then ever.

Baltimore - With another big win, they are playing good hard football.

Teams That Are Moving Up

Indianapolis - With their destruction of Arizona on Sunday night, the Colts have looked the most promising all year, applying significant pressure to Kurt Warner, running the ball better, and playing football better on all sides of the ball.

Jacksonville - They got a much needed win over a division rival as they ran up and down on Houston. We'll see if they can continue versus the hapless Titans next week.

Cincinnati - With their upset win over the super bowl champs, they are looking less and less like a fluke and more and more like a real threat.

Teams That Are Moving Down

Seattle - They opened the season with a shutout victory over the Rams and have thus fallen to 1-2. Matt Hasselbeck did not play because of a broken rib. Next week's game with Indy is going to pose real problems.

Miami - The Dolphins fall to 0-3 as they get beaten by the Chargers. There running attack is potent, but lack of passing success, big play ability, and conversion play has limited them.

Tennessee - The team with the best record last year is currently 0-3. Their misusing their talent and they need to figure a way to fix that fast.
