Manning Bowl

So it was kind of cool that the NFL set up a game like this but it was way over hyped. It will only be outshined by Super Manning Bowl at the end of the season. :-)

NY:
Tiki and Plaxico made Eli look good. He made some good plays on his own but those guys make him look better.
They killed themselves on penalties.

Colts:
The running game is weak. They showed signs of life here and there but it won’t get them through the season. Rhoads has a cool spin move. But, he got stopped on the goal line where he went outside his blocker instead of cutting back in. Addai can catch the ball, has speed and strength. I hope he can come into it as he gets some carries under his belt.
Defense had a real problem stopping the run, even more so than last year. Granted, Simon is out so there was not fat man to block the middle.
And who knew Peyton could scramble? He must have been working on that in the offseason since he knew James wouldn’t be there to pick up blocks.

Fantasy Football:
I’m losing in both my leagues but I still have several players left on Monday night. I have Santana Moss on both my teams, hope he comes up big tomorrow night.
