John Skelton of the Cardinals wins games and he did it
again this week as the Cardinals won in overtime to bring Skelton's record this season to 6-2. Kevin
Kolb might have received a big
contract, but Arizona http://sma1pariaman.com/blog_entry.php?user=avgame&blogentry_id=59366
just didn't
win
with him like they do
when Skelton is under center. I'm starting to get the feeling Skelton is going to get a chance in the offseason to compete for the
starting role. I know one thing for sure, Skelton gets the ball to Larry Fitzgerald and the nine receptions for 149 yards in the finale should
go a long way toward
solidifying Skelton's opportunity next season.
Joe Webb in Minnesota might be a long shot, but Christian Ponder better come out winning games
next year or the fans will be crying for Webb. Webb makes things
happen when he's on
the field and even though he threw two interceptions this week, he deserves a shot at the starting job next season.
We entered the Week
17 games with a
new league record for quarterback passing days of more than 300 yards. The record
before this year was 104 games and this year it was 112 games even before last
weekend. Week 17 just added
more 300-yard games to the record, which now stands at 120, as I predicted last Friday. One head coach I spoke to said he would guess most of them came in
losing efforts, but it's not true. This week 300-yard passing efforts delivered a 5-3 record, which for the year stands at 65-55.
It's amazing that some of the best
teams heading into the playoffs don't seem capable of slowing down opponents. It's starting to look like giving up 300 yards and less than 30 points is a pretty good day for a
playoff team. The Saints and San Francisco 49ers did just that and it was good enough for solid wins.
After watching the Packers, Patriots, and
Lions surrender
1, 527 yards and 107 points between them, all I can say is Rodgers, Tom Brady and Matt Stafford
better
be close to perfect in the playoffs or this formula is going to blow up in their faces.
Of course the Steelers played
a typically
great defensive game coming off a loss last week, as I expected. In the last two years when the Steelers lost a game, they came back the
next week and not only
won the game but held their opponents to 11 points or fewer. They were right on schedule this week when the Cleveland Browns could only manage
nine points.
