The Twins Week 3 Recap

Week 3 picks Results
Yvonne 8-8
Yvette 9-7

Yvette: FINALLY! I win a week!
Yvonne: Just barely….
Yvette: You’re right.. A lot of teams just barely won or lost, but some teams got massive beat downs!
Yvonne: So lets talk about a few games of note, shall we…

Tennessee Titans vs. New YorkGiants

Yvette: This was Vince Young’s redemption game and he played a solidly in response to last weeks benching. The defense played a spectacular game. Chris Johnson remained true to form with his 125 rushing yards.  The Giants looked to be in total disarry. Eli Manning couldn’t get anything done. The Giants made mistake after mistake and the Titans took full advantage of it
Yvonne:  I can't tell just yet if the Titans are just that good, or if the Giants are just that bad.  Titans pieces appear to be coming together.  The Giants, on the other hand look like they may be in store for a very long season.  We shall see.


Dallas Cowboys vs. Houston Texans

Yvette: Who woke up the Cowboys! The Cowboys played well against their inner state rivals. The Texans looked like the team to beat in the AFC South in Week 1 & 2.
Yvonne:  I was disappointed, I reallty did want to see a knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish between the Texas teams.   However, Dallas' pride was definitely on the line with this game, and it showed with their solid play. 


Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Yvette: The Steelers continued their defensive domination with the complete destruction of the Bucs. With Charlie Batch at the helm, they are 3-0..what do they do with Big Ben Rothlesburger comes back?
Yvonne:  They'll be even more dominant.   But let's be honest, the Bucs are Terrible with a capital T, and the Steelers made them look worse.  They were simply no match for Pittsburg.




Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears

Yvette: WOW! What a game! As I expected, this was a game about defense and the play of the young QBs , Jay Cutler and Aaron Rogers. I knew this would be a hard fought game. What I didn’t expect is for the Bears to come out on top. Bears wore their throwback uniforms and brought back the old school Monsters of the Midway Defense with them!
With the return of punt returner extraordinaire Devin Hester and Block punts by Julius Peppers, the Bears dominated on Special Teams play.
Green Bay seemed to really miss the consistent run game of Ryan Grant. And their youth at Defense really hindered them. While, I still think Green Bay will end up the top o NFC North, keep your eyes on the Chicago Bears!
Yvonne:  What?  No mention of Matt Forte'?  He he had a pretty good game!  Wow, you're officially a Matt Forte' Hater!


Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings

Yvette: There is nothing like the Detroit Lions to boost a teams confidence. It wasn’t looking pretty early for Brett Favre with two Interceptions. I thought they were headed to 0-3. But the Vikings bounced back and beat the lowly Lions, thanks to power rushing from Adrian Peterson. Maybe Favre won’t retire mid-season? I’m still taking bets….
Yvonne:  Poor Lions... It almost looked like they had a chance. But the brightside is every game, the look less and less terrible...

Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints

Yvette: Who Dat? I don’t know… There looks to be a chink in the Saints armor. After the last minute win against the 49ers, I figured, the Falcons would prove to be a tough opponent. And they didnt disappoint wining overtime with a field goal!
Yvonne:  Are the Saints suffering from a Super Bowl Hangerover? Yes. But I also think the value of Reggie Bush is now appreciated. His absence as a weapon in that offense was felt.

Washington Redskins @ St. Louis Rams

Yvette: YIKES! The Redskins played horribly against arguable the worst team in the NFC! Donovan McNabb played poorly. Nothing was happening with the running game. The Skins sputtered offensively.
Yvonne:  This was a game the Redskins should have won.  Hopefully the loss won't come back to haunt them come playoffs time. Up next for the Redskins...Donovan faces the Eagles.... in Philly...This won't be pretty...


NY Jets @ Miami Dolphins

Yvette: On behalf of Yvonne and I, I owe Mark Sanchez an apology. Two consecutive 3 Touchdown games! How impressive was that?! Braylon Edwards was benched as “punishment” for his DWI.. But Edwards game back an made som key catches. Without his neckbeard.

Yvonne: LOL!  Rest in Peace, Neckbeard!
