State of the AFC
We learned quite a bit this week in the AFC, we learned the Jets are find ways to win in tough spots the sign of a truly good team. We learned that perhaps the patriots offense might not be as ineffective as many thought. We saw Ben Roethlisberger return to the field and win a game that was closer then it appeared. We saw the Colts score a big road win and dethrone the redskins from the division lead. We also saw the Texans keep the division lead due to some questionable at best penalties and with that send the chiefs and a two game slide.
Quite a few things to address the Biggest (at least to me) is the news that superstar Tight end Dallas Clark has been rumored to have some sort of undisclosed Wrist injury that may require surgery and will sideline him indefinitely and possibly for the rest of the season. As if that wasn’t enough of a hurdle for the Colts to over come news broke Thursday that Austen Collie underwent surgery early in the week and could be out 2-4 weeks this sent most Colts fans in to full on panic mode with the Texans rematch looming on the other side of the bye. Colts fans took another hit on Wednesday when the Colts announced a one game suspension for Colt’s punter Pat MacAfee Who was arrested for a drunk in public charge.
I’m not going to spend a lot of time on the new stricter enforcement when it comes to dirty hits but I will say James Harrison is a piece of garbage for saying he’s going to retire and everyone including his coach Mike Tomlin said he’s just talking junk.
No huge match ups this weekend to speak of but one worth highlighting is what I’m going to deem the hate bowl The Patriots at the Chargers. This game is barely relevant because the chargers have been exposed and are 2-4 so honestly a win for either team won’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things but a win the San Diego would certainly expose the patriots to be the pretenders I believe them to be. But I’ll be honest this game I’ll be watching and hoping the ground opens up and takes both teams back to hell where they belong.
AFC OPINION OF THE WEEK
The Chiefs got screwed, plain and simple. Now, I can’t say for certain that the Texans wouldn’t have found a way to win in the end but if you watch the pass interference call not only did the Kansas City defender not interfere Andre Johnson pushed off of him. So not only was it an egregiously bad call, if anything it was on the wrong guy. What the heck else could the defender have done?! It must make everyone in Chief’s country sick that the have their second loss of the season because of botched refereeing absolutely unacceptable. So that’s your state of the AFC for week 7, I’ll talk to you next week hopefully flying high on Indy beating the Texans
