STUDS OF THE WEEK:
Darren McFadden:
McFadden has a total of 393 rushing yards the first 3 games of the season. Sunday against the Jets he rushed for 171 yards and 2TDs. A force to be reckon with on the football field….flat out unstoppable.
Wes Welker:
Welker set a new franchise single game record with 16 catches 217 yards and 2TDs in Sunday’s loss against the Bills. Welker currently leads the NFL in yards and catches. Brady is hot right now and seems to be focusing a lot of his tosses to Welker. Guess Ocho-stinko really isn’t working out that well…huh?
Jermichael Finley:
Finley showed us why he is so important to the Packers when healthy. Sunday against the Bears, he had 7 catches for 85 yards and 3TDs. Finley hasn’t played a full season in the NFL yet. Hopefully he will be able to do so this year. If that is the case, I would have to say the Packers have a good chance to repeat as Super Bowl champs.
DUDS OF THE WEEK:
Phil Costa:
The Cowboys center made life for the ailing Tony Romo even more difficult. He had one of the most terrible performances I have seen. He basically made up his own snap count. Half the time Romo wasn’t ready for the ball! Lucky for Costa he got a pep talk from the veteran Audre Gurode. If he doesn’t shape up this week for the Lions, he better not step foot on the field the rest of the season! I have spoken!
Michael Vick:
…..Michael you are a quarterback in the NFL…..I hate to break it to you but your gonna get hit. A LOT! Especially when you are up against a divisional rival. I can’t believe he had the nerve to call out the refs for not pulling flags for clean plays. Ok, maybe one was questionable but still, get it together and do your job! He has since apologized for the comments made.
Antonio Cromartie:
Frustrated during the Raiders game and was clearly being targeted by the refs. The worst move was the mishandling of the ball after a kickoff in the 3rd quarter…..you should have attempted soccer with Ocho-stinko if you wanted to kick around a ball, jackass. He left the game later in the 4th quarter with a bruised rib.
alright toast here ya go!!!
stud for the week- cam newton. hes putting up unbelievable numbers for a rookie. not the numbers that count tho, unfortunately. all the yards fathomable dont mean anything if they dont turn into points.
dud of the week- ELI MANNING. he can watch all the tape and footage he wants, but when it comes down to it, he consistently makes the same mistakes week in and week out. he will not learn his lesson fast enough. patrick peterson will pick him off at least once near the sidelines because he is terrible at back shoulder throws.
I have spoken.

Cam Newton was not a stud against the Jags! Granted, it was his first win and it was raining cats and dogs out….but he didn’t put up the numbers he had in his first few starts. They barely beat the Jags!
Emily Manning actually impressed me this week. He found Victor Cruz and THREW the ball! They didn’t rely on the run game as heavily against the Eagles and were actually successful. I couldn’t believe it! He is still frigging terrible but considering the WR injuries the Giants have right now, for Eli to find a receiver he’s comfortable enough with, is key.
