Pennington didn't get the memo, and I fail at making picks.

Apparently Chad Pennington missed that meeting where the Dolphins' coaches and coordinators told everyone not to throw the ball to the other team, because that's exactly what he did. Pennington, the new Dolphins quarterback (straight outta New York), who only had like 7 or 8 interceptions this season, threw a whoppin' four today against the mighty Baltimore Ravens' defense. I was wrong when I said that the Dolphins would win, but I at least I got the "Baltimore doesn't have a decent offense" right, in a way. The Baltimore offense is efficient, but it fails in comparison to Miami's. 

It's a different story for the defense. Led by Lewis and Reed, the Ravens' defense was all over the Fins' mediocre offense, which scored only 9 points against the Ravens' 27. I know I'm being a bit harsh on the Ravens' offense and the Dolphins' defense, but it's what I think.  

Advice for the future for Baltimore: Just keep training Flacco and get good recievers out there.

Advice for the future for Miami: Hell, nothing really. Just toughen the guys up more, and work on that defense.

I'm glad I didn't pick a team for the Eagles-Vikings game, even though the Eagles played very well. It was one of McNabb's good days, but I couldn't have been able to decide beforehand if that game was going in his favor or not. Unfortunately, Jackson and the Vikings played like I thought they would play: weird. One minute, Jackson can scramble in the pocket on a 3rd and 10 and make a first, and the next, he goes three and out. You can never figure it out with this team. Peterson played pretty decently, but not as well as Westbrook on the Eagles side. That dude was crazy...but in the end, it was the Eagles defense that should be getting the applause.  I couldn't begin to list the names of the players that made a difference for the Eagles. They played brilliantly, stopping Peterson/Jackson/Berrian dead in their tracks, for the most part. But that's not to say Jared Allen and Cedric Griffin didn't do anything on the Vikings side. Those two, along with just about the whole Vikings defense, played exceptionally well, getting to McNabb and stopping the completions, for the most part. Sadly, it wasn't enough, and the Eagles sent the Vikings home after a pretty good season. 

Advice for the future for the Vikings: get a better quarterback. The offense and defense are pretty good, but Jackson could be better or replaced. 

Advice for the future for the Eagles: Make sure your quarterback doesn't have anymore bad days. I don't want to see McNabb become the next Brett Favre in the Jets.

I'm 0-3 for picks (not 0-4 because I never picked for the Eagles-Vikings game). Picks are probably not my forte, or I just had a bad day or two. I'll make new ones later for the upcoming playoff games.
