Outside The Blue - Week 7

Week 7 in the NFL was a week of blowouts across the NFL. This season the bad teams are bad and the good teams are good. I don't believe the league will be like this next season. There are a lot of teams rebuilding this season and a lot of teams that are ready to make a playoff run. Here are my notes from week 7.

• The Cowboys continue to look very strong with a big win over the Falcons. I didn't think the Cowboys would lose, but they impressed me with how they dominated the game. They were always a step ahead of the Falcons.


• The Saints were able to escape the trap of their own ego this week after pounding the Giants the previous week. Their ego and confidence almost got the best of them. They are a great team and it seems Drew Brees can score whenever he wants and control the game.


• Its time for Dan Snyder and the Redskins to clean house and what I mean by clean house is gut the whole thing. From front office people to players. Its time to rebuild in Washington.


• Its a shame a team like the Carolina Panthers who were so good last year- are horrific this year because their quarterback gets confused as to which team he is throwing to. They have a great running game but cant sustain drives. Time to draft a quarterback and hope for the best.


• Talk about an impressive win for the Bengals. They totally manhandled the Bears 45-10. Its amazing what a healthy Carson Palmer and a great run game can do.


• The Steelers proved they are the Champs for a reason with a big win against the Vikings. The defense stepped up to close the door on Brett Favre and company.
