Week 7 NFL Review

Seattle @ San Francisco- Defensive battle from one of the leagues best defenses, as well as a defense that is finding its strides. Frank Gore runs for 131 yards for San Francisco and they win another division game.

Better now- San Francisco
Better at the end of the year- San Francisco

Washington @ New York (Giants)- Eli outpasses RGIII, but the game remains close until the end. RGIII isn't able to pull off a comeback, and the Giants take a division game. Giants are a legit running attack away from being the best in the NFL. The NFC East is stacked (aside from Dallas).
Better now- Giants
Better at the end of the year- Giants


Arizona @ Minnesota- Skelton outpassed Ponder, but Ponder has a freak named Adrian Peterson as his running back. 23 carries for 153 yards and a touchdown, and a magical season for Peterson continues after a horrible injury at the end of last year.
Better now- Minnesota
Better at the end of the year- Minnesota


Dallas @ Carolina- Both teams need a lot of help, both teams have two RB each that could share running duties and take pressure off their QB's if the team would use them. Dallas gets back to .500, while Carolina continues to put it together.
Better now- Draw (they both aren't good at all at the moment)
Better at the end of the year- Dallas


New Orleans @ Tampa Bay- Another game with no defense! Brees with over 300 yards in the first half! Josh Freeman throws for 420 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and at the end of an NFC South game that was back and forth from the start, New Orleans comes away with the win. What a game for everyone involved.
Better now- New Orleans (Tampa showing light though)
Better at the end of the year- New Orleans


Green Bay @ St. Louis- Aaron Rodgers continues to produce and lead his team. St. Louis had a few moments where you thought they may be able to seize control of the game, but never took hold of those moments. Packers look good.
Better now- Green Bay
Better at the end of the year- Green Bay


Baltimore @ Houston- Aaron Rodgers played angry last week, Matt Schaub played that way this week with the same result against one of the top teams in the league. Flaco can't throw the ball over 20 times in the first half and expect his team to win, it's not how they conduct business. Texans score on offense, defense, and special teams: a complete game for Houston
Better now- Houston
Better at the end of the year- Houston


Cleveland @ Indianapolis- Two rookie quarterbacks go at it. The game wasn't very entertaining, Weeden outpassed Luck, but the Colts get the win.
Better now- Indianapolis
Better at the end of the year- Indianapolis


Tennessee @ Buffalo- Forget about Buffalo having defense. Chris Johnson goes off for the first time in the year (must make him feel awesome). 18 carries for 195 yards and two touchdowns. Titans win by one in an absolutely wild game. Fitzpatrick throws three touchdowns, but it isn't enough. Hasselback hooks up to Nate Washington from 15 yards out with 1:05 left in the game. Tennessee steals one? No, they earned this one for sure.
Better now- Draw (both are the same record, and are very similar)
Better at the end of the year- Draw


New York (Jets) @ New England- A game of halves. New England dominates the first half, New York dominates the second half. New England was able to sneak a game-tying field goal in on the unsure leg of Stephen Gostkowski as time expired, and in overtime do it once more to eek out a win.
Better now- New England
Better at the end of the year- New England


Jacksonville @ Oakland- Both teams are bad, period. Sebastian Janikowski hits four of five field goals (his only miss being a 64 yard field goal at the end of regulation) in another game that went into overtime today, and Oakland overcomes a 14-point deficit to win...if you can even determine a winner here. Jaguars lost Maurice Jones-Drew on the opening drive to a left foot injury, then Blaine Gabbert in the second quarter to a left shoulder injury.
Better now- Draw
Better at the end of the year- Draw

Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati- Pittsburgh did just enough to beat Cincinnati, on a night where the Dalton to Green connection was out of sync. Jonathan Dwyer for the Steelers ran for 122 yards on 17 touches...yet another running back for Pittsburgh. Consistency in the running game isn't a focal point for them I guess.
Better now- Draw
Better at the end of the year- Pittsburgh (by a small margin)

Detroit @ Chicago-A low-scoring affair, where the two defenses combined for eight sacks (three for Detroit, five for Chicago) and Calvin Johnson only caught three passes. Chicago comes away with the win, even if it was an ugly one. Shout out to Titus Young for catching six for 81 yards (a favorite player of mine when he went to Boise State).
Better now- Detroit
