Some thoughts at halftime of the early games — which I’ve been enjoying via the Red Zone channel on the DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket.
- The top 2 scorers in PFFL at the half? Patrick Cobbs with 28.3 and the Rams D with 21.99. Both are free agents. #3 is the Colts D pitching a shutout of Baltimore and sitting on DDT’s bench.
- There are a lot of low-scoring games at the half, including that thrilling Detroit-Minnesota game which is at 3-2.
- Return TDs thus far: The Bengals returned a Brett Favre fumble for a TD. The Rams returned a Pete Kendall (yes, an OL) fumble for a TD with about 8 seconds left in the half. The Vikings have one of the easiest safeties ever. Tampa Bay has a blocked punt TD that was basically taken off the punter’s foot like a handoff. Jacoby Jones returned a punt for a TD for Houston. That’s 4 Def/ST touchdowns in the first half. Meanwhile, there have been 11 offensive TDs, 3 in the NYJ-Cincy game, 3 by Indy and 2 by Miami’s Patrick Cobbs.
- Sebastian Janikowski has missed two field goals. It’s not so bad though, they were 57 and 59 yard attempts.
- Did I mention that Patrick Cobbs has 133 receiving yards?
In PFFL:
- Andre Johnson is leading the way for DDT while TKD is reeling from the early loss of Joseph Addai to a hamstring injury.
- Kramerica leads SIAP behind the Tampa D and a few Jason Elam field goals.
- Double D vs The Hip is going to be resolved in the late games.
- Post Mortem and Hedfullalicker are struggling to put points on the board, despite 3 of the 4 starting running backs playing in noon games.
- SaaBB has 7 players playing, but leads Camel Toe by only 9. CT is being paced by Marvin Harrison.
- There has been a Peyton Manning sighting for CSPJ, not to mention a Thomas Jones multi-score day. And they lead Turd Ferguson by 20.
- The Jedis and WBM are basically knotted up, with Brees and Pennington leading the scoring.
Whoa… The Lions just scored an offensive TD. On a passing play. From Dan Orlovsky. The Vikings might be really bad.
