Hey old friend! How are you? Nice work you're doing here. I definitely would not have the patience to play as more than 1 team in a CFM, let alone 32.

Let's catch up some time! I might be starting up a new project soon, after all these years! Stay tuned

SEAHAWKS rebound with 52-3 thrashing over VIKINGS...








RECAP








St. Paul, MN- The Legion of Boom took center stage, Quarterback Russell Wilson tossed 5 Touchdowns, and the Seattle Seahawks(2-3) completely destroyed the Minnesota Vikings(2-3) on Sunday 52-3.

"This was a must win for us for us to turn our Season around. We responded very well after a rough start. We still have a ways to go for us to get back to the top but it's only Week 5. We snapped our 3 Game slide now and we must move on and prepare for Chicago next Week at Home." Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll stated.

The Vikings(2-3) found out first hand just how dangerous Seattle still is when on the first play of the Game, Vikings Quarterback Matt Cassel was sacked by Seahawks Defensive Lineman Brandon MeBane.

On Cassel's first pass he was intercepted by Kam Chancellor. Russell Wilson's first Touchdown came right after when he connected with Percy Harvin that put the Hawks up 7-0.

Cassel led Minnesota down but Kicker Blair Walsh's kick sailed wide right.

Seattle wouldn't stop there as they took a 31-3 halftime score where Matt Cassel was held to 52 yards passing and 2 Interceptions.

Each turnover and drive Wilson was tossing Touchdowns. After a Richard Sherman pick, Wilson found Jermaine Kearse for a Touchdown and the Seahawks went into halftime up 31-3.

Sherman was Sherman taunting the Vikings after his Interception.

"He's a sorry Quarterback. Matt (Cassel) was nothing today. He threw my way and that's what happens." Sherman added.

Matt Cassel was benched at halftime. Teddy Bridgewater took over in the 3rd but was benched by the 4th for Nick Montana. The Two QB's combined for just 82 yards and no Touchdowns.

"We were outplayed and just pushed around today." Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer stated.

Seattle got the ball back to start the 3rd where on their Opening Drive, Wilson found Doug Baldwin for a Touchdown 38-3.

Another Blair Walsh missed Field Goal sailing WIDE LEFT and Wilson rushed for 55 yards for a 45-3 Seahawks lead.

Another Doug Baldwin Touchdown and Seattle(2-3) wrapped up the day with a 52-3 victory over the Vikings(2-3).

Wilson finished with 266 yards 5 Touchdowns and a pick. Beast Mode had 148 yards and a Touchdown. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson had 107 yards before leaving with a injury where he suffered a Abdominal Tear and will miss 4 Games.

WR Greg Jennings also left with a Ruptured Disk and will miss the next 5 Games.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: Richard Sherman puts NFL on notice after Minnesota Win..


10/11/15


Written by: Adam Schefter



Moments after the Seattle Seahawks 52-3 victory over the Minnesota Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium in St. Paul, Minnesota, Cornerback Richard Sherman has reverted back to his old self.

Trash talking the NFL.

"I still believe I'm the best Corner in the game. When you're great you have bad days sure, that's what makes us human. Today however I showed exactly what happens when you try me and this great Defense. I'm the best in the Game. We're the best Defense in the Game. Try us bro." Sherman stated.

Sherman had 4 Tackles and a Interception in the victory over the Minnesota Vikings where he also had words for Vikings Quarterback Matt Cassel.

"Matt is a sorry QB. He's nothing compared to Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, the all time other greats in the Game today. He wanted to test me and he found out first hand what happens." Sherman said.

Sherman also sent out this Tweet that set Twitter on fire after the Seahawks crushed the Vikings.



Sherman would then proceed to call out the Seahawks Week 6 Opponent, the Chicago Bears who head to Seattle next Sunday.

"Chicago is soft man. We crushed their dreams last year in the Playoffs. Jay (Cutler) is garbage anyway and is on the shelf. They'll find out next week how good we really are."

Sherman has 14 Tackles, 1 Sack, 2 Interceptions, a forced fumble and a Defensive Touchdown so far this Season.

DOLPHINS upset COLTS 30-24 in McCarthy's Debut as Head Coach...






RECAP






Miami, FL- This was exactly why the Miami Dolphins hired Mike McCarthy as Head Coach. So the Dolphins(2-3) can contend with the AFC's best heading into the future.

"This is exactly why I hired him and brought him to the Miami Dolphins." Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross stated.

Mike McCarthy's debut as Dolphins Head Coach was postponed until today because of a 4 Game Suspension NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell handed down.

But McCarthy's Debut was a memorable one as the Miami Dolphins(2-3) defeated the Indianapolis Colts(3-2) 30-24 on Sunday inside Sun Life Stadium.

"It's very exciting to be here in beautiful Miami and to have my first Game as the Head Coach of the Dolphins at home in front of our great fans was something special." Dolphins Head Coach Mike McCarthy stated.

In his Debut Miami(2-3) was ready to welcome the heavy favorites Indianapolis Colts(3-2) led by Andrew Luck.

Miami held a 17-10 lead into Halftime as the Colts would struggle inside Sun Life Stadium.

"We had some drives stall on us but I still think we fought up to the end. Miami was just prepared today." Colts Head Coach Chuck Pagano stated.

Quarterback Andrew Luck finished with 314 yards, 3 Touchdowns, and 1 Interception. His pick was picked off by Dolphins Reshad Jones in the End Zone.

Trent Richardson was held to just 61 yards as Indy struggled to run the ball. Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno rushed for 103 yards.

"Ran the ball very well today." McCarthy added.

T.Y Hilton had 129 Yards and 2 Touchdowns. Reggie Wayne continues to add to his legacy as he now ranks 6th all time on the NFL Receiving Yards list with 14,949. He's now just 178 yards away from Tony Gonzalez for #5 and 7,946 from #1 Jerry Rice.

Dolphins Kicker Caleb Surgis kicked 2 Field Goals to help the Dolphins upset the Colts.

Second year Quarterback Blake Bortles hasn't really improved much at all and the Jags faithful may be calling for a change. "Blake Bortles is still our Quarterback for now."

RG3's Return dooms REDSKINS in 43-14 blowout loss to SAINTS..





RECAP






Landover, MD- After a Week 3 loss to the Division Rival Philadelphia Eagles, Redskins QB Robert Griffin III took the Team's Week 4 BYE to heal his dislocated elbow.

He returned today as QB1.

And it was a disaster.

"Look what do you want me to say man? I'm not happy about my performance today. But I feel I can be the Quarterback this Team needs." RG3 stated.

Griffin III struggled against the Saints Defense. He rushed for 113 yards while fumbling 3 times. Each fumble, New Orleans(2-3) turned into points.

Washington(1-3) was left out to dry when RG3 struggled to throw the ball and was out of sync with the Redskins Offense. Griffin III had 49 yards and a Touchdown pass however to TE Jordan Reed.

But Washington(1-3) struggled to do anything else with RG3 fumbling the ball all over FedEx Field in our Nations Capital.

"Terrible play by Robert." Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden said. "We kept going back to him throughout the game to see if he can get out of his funk but it never happened."

New Orleans(2-3) won their Second straight Game after a 0-3 start as Rob Ryan's Defense focused in on the Redskins Quarterback.

Sacking RG3 10 times led by Junior Galette and Akiem Hicks 3 times each. Washington got to Drew Brees 5 times, 3 by Brian Orakpo.

Brees finished with 250 yards, 2 Touchdowns, and a Interception by MD Jennings who returned it for a Pick-Six.

With the Redskins(1-3) down 40-14 in the 4th Quarter, Gruden turned to Kirk Cousins finally benching RG3 amidst boos from the hometown Skin fans.

Cousins got hurt with a pulled Groin and will miss 3 Weeks leaving Head Coach Jay Gruden to make a decision on who will be the Redskins Quarterback.

"You'll have my decision soon." Gruden said.

FALCONS woes continue in 41-3 blowout loss to COWBOYS...





RECAP






Arlington, TX- The Atlanta Falcons(1-4) woes continue as Dan Quinn's first year as Head Coach is shaping up to be one of the worst.

"It's a gut punch feeling honestly. Rough year for us as we implement changes. It's still a process however but seeing the results like how we lost today sure is a horrible feeling to have." Quinn stated.

Falcons Quarterback Matt Ryan and the Offense struggled to maintain any drives inside AT&T Stadium throwing for 165 yards and 3 Interceptions. Each pick, Dallas(3-2) converted into points with backup QB Brandon Weeden dismantling the horrible Falcons Defense for 339 yards and 4 Touchdowns.

"We just didn't have it today. We couldn't get anything going and just kind of sputtered on Offense." Falcons Head Coach Dan Quinn stated.

The Falcons(1-4) Defense was much worse giving up 448 yards and 41 Points to the Dallas Cowboys(3-2).

Weeden picked apart the Falcons Secondary connecting with Jason Witten(7 Catches, 101 yards, 1 TD), Justin Black(6 Catches, 131 yards, 1 TD), Terrence Williams(1 TD) and Lance Dunbar(1 TD) for points.

Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray rushed for 91 yards and a score as Dallas took a 24-0 lead into Halftime.

Justin Durant, Brandon Flowers, and Brandon Carr each picked off Ryan with Durant getting his interception in the End Zone late in the 4th Quarter.

"We played very well today. Very proud of this Football Team and to get some momentum as we face the Giants here in a few days." Cowboys Head Coach Jason Garrett stated.
