5-0 Baby! Week 5 is all but in the books

Since we had a 3 game disagreement we do not need the tie breaker game. I do beleive we should now be tied on the season. Let's take a look at this week's Sunday games.

Cleveland at Buffalo was a disappointing game. A 6-3 ending score pretty much sums up the game. It was a close one with the Browns scoring a field goal with 26 seconds to go. Two lost fumbles on Parrish was the kicker to the game. Had he held on, I think this one would have went the other way. Then we have the Jags at the Seahawks, who saw this coming? A 41-0 shutout is crazy. Of course, you have to note they had Matt Hasslebeck back in the game which made all the difference in the world. Throwing 4 TD passes with 18/31 completions for 241 yards left the Jags shaking their heads. On the flipside, Jags QB David Garrard was sacked five time and gave up two fumbles. The Jags defensive line must have been sleeping.

The other surprise to Sunday was Denver over New England. I really thought the Pats had this one. Of course when you rely on Randy Moss and he is having an "off" day.... well why do you think Minnesota gave him up :-). Bottom line on this game, though it was close, Denver flat out outplayed the Pats. Houston in Arizona was a close game. The game started out with the Cardinals stomping on the Texans' 21-0 but the Cardinal's defense had to hold it together. The Texans' must have eaten their Wheaties at halftime because they came back out with a vengance quickly tying up the game. Both QB's in this game shined this week topping 300 yards passing. The kicker was Schaub's one turn over. With the Cardinal's holding the Texans' at the one yard line the game was over.

And then of course we come to Minnesota in St. Louis. I have to admit I was actually bored with this game. The Rams killed themselves by allowing three turnovers in the first half. Minnesota simply walked all over St. Louis. Jared Allen had an amazing 52 yard fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. The Vikings moving to 5-0 for the first time since 1993 may be a sign. I think this year we are going far. Favre earns more and more respect each week. I think he has now earned a purple stripe. Maybe by the end of the season he will have earned the purple jersey he proudly wears. With that I must say "Happy Birthday" as he turned a ripe 40 on Saturday becoming the 12th QB since 1966 to start a game at the age of 40.

Can't wait until next week!
