Michael Vick is a hot topic lately, as his Philadelphia Eagles are currently atop the NFC East division at 7-4, and the Eagles are currently holding a 14-10 lead over the Houston Texans right now in the second quarter. Vick was slowed down for the first time last week against Chicago, but is looking to lead the Eagles to victory tonight. The Eagles and New York Giants are tied atop the division at 7-4. Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson, despite suffering a sprained right ankle in Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins, is expecting to play in the Vikings' game against the Buffalo Bills this week. Titans receiver Randy Moss is already frustrated in Tennessee—big surprise—and he's come out and voiced his displeasure. It appears at the moment he is at least not making this about him, but more about the team's current slide. For more on all of this and Today's Top NFL News, read on. The 2010 Cincinnati Bengals' debacle of football jersey
a season has been brutal on their fans. The apathy level of the fan base is dangerously high. The city of Cincinnati won't even be able to see the team's final four home games. The Bills game and this Sunday's Saints game will be replaced by a terribly boring '80s movie. They aren't even showing another NFL game! The other two (Browns, Chargers) aren't expected to sell out either. The general consensus amongst fans has been to blow up the team. Cut Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco. Don't re-sign Cedric Benson and head coach Marvin Lewis. And please don't bring Terrell Owens back. Sure his numbers are some of the best in the NFL this season. He is third in the NFL with 914 receiving yards and second in receptions with 65. It's not his fault the defense has taken a huge step backwards. But it is his fault that the offensive game plan has changed so dramatically this season. What made the Bengals so good last year? Pounding the opposition with the running game. The '09 Bengals wore down teams with their smash-mouth AFC North approach. But once they signed Antonio Bryant (how'd that turn out?) and drafted WR Jordan Shipley and TE Jermaine Gresham, the philosophy began to change. When T.O. signed the writing was on the wall: The Bengals were now a passing team. God forbid the Bengals even dare to use the ultra sensitive Owens as a spare part. Instead, each week's game plan has revolved around T.O. Even Chad is now an afterthought. I bet it's because the Bengals are afraid of Owens and his explosive personality. The team won't call him out despite numerous occasions when it was appropriate to do so. Owens has repeatedly alligator-armed balls that have ended up getting picked off. Indianapolis Colts jersey
He jogged in the two minute offense on multiple plays against the Colts when his team had a chance to win. He refuses to lay out for a ball over the middle. He gives up on deep balls before they even reach him. It's clear to anyone that watches: T.O. cares about T.O., and that's it. To be fair, Owens hasn't been a problem in the locker room whatsoever (as far as we know), and he really hasn't done more than stating the obvious when talking about the Bengals. Yet it's clear that the coaching staff, and even Palmer to a degree, feel the need to keep Owens involved in the offense. Nobody on the Bengals wants to deal with an infamous T.O. outburst. This week Owens was asked about returning to the Bengals next season: “Of course. I think a lot of rumors are swirling out there about everything, coaching staff and I don’t know. I let all that stuff kind of play itself out. My agent and I will get together after the season and see how it goes.” Noooooo!! Say it ain't so! The words "of course" are the last thing the Bengals want to hear from T.O. Ever wonder if adding Owens has distracted Chad mentally at all? Ochocinco hasn't complained about his lack of touches compared to Owens. But when has work production and success ever increased when one class clown is paired up with another? They are the only active players that have their own cable show! How much mental energy is wasted every week just thinking about their show? Imagine the amount of time the duo has not been prepping for games, since it's been obvious the team was going straight to the AFC North basement? Twitter has been a forum that more and more NFL players are beginning to jump on. But every other player in the league follows the cheap nfl jerseys
Twitter Kings: T.O. and Chad. They are the two most frequent twitters, they also u-stream, and oh yeah, did I mention that they had three shows between them air this summer? The diva receiver squad doesn't work. The '10 Bengals have proven this. So cut your losses and say goodbye to both of them. T.O. has been a dream for stat heads but a nightmare for this team. T.O. in 2011? Thanks, but no thanks. We will end this with a gem from T.O., a comment that tells you everything you need to know about what he thinks of himself: “I’m still getting behind the best corners in the league. So now what do they say?"
