Swarm's Week 3 NFL Buzz

[swarm]

THE BUZZ: The buzz this week is for the Sunday Night game between The Patriots and the Ravens. Huge AFC rivalry game with a rich history. Houston vs. Denver deserves some attention although Peyton and Denver don't look so tough all of a sudden.

BIGGEST WINNERS -

AZ Cards - Swarm's BOLD ass prediction of the week comes true. Cards are for real. One of the best D's in the league. Can't wait until they lock horns w the Niners.

Minnesota Vikings - Upset of the week. Look for the remaining Niners opponents to copy the Vikes blueprint.

Cincinnati Bengals - Walked into hog heaven and defeated the chosen one. Red Rocket > RG3.

Tennessee Titans - First W of the season vs. a playoff team from last year, and they do it in the best game of the week using special teams.

Atlanta Falcons - Swarm's WASP TRAP of the week pick em' comes through again. ATL might be the best team in the NFC, not the Packers or the Niners.

Baltimore Ravens - Clutch win over the Pats in a crazy game. I dislike the Ravens, but I love this rivalry. Flacco looked elite.

Seattle Seahawks - Played well enough to win, dismantling Aaron Rogers with their defense. Tie goes to the WR.



BIGGEST LOSERS -

Cam Newton - Sophomore slump? Too early to tell, but he has not looked great yet.

New Orleans Saints - Isn't kamra so awesome?


WASP TRAP LOCK OF THE WEEK: Lots of upset specials on the dial this week. Rams, Hawks, Bengals. But I'm going with Atlanta to go into San Diego and steal one from the Chargers. Flying cross country on a short week to the West Coast seems to spell disaster for ATL, but I think they've got the talent to make it happen this week vs. a game SD squad.

TRUE 2-1

Added bonus BOLD the AZ Cards improve to 3-0 over the Puggles. AZ is WAY under the radar right now because of their shotty QB situation, but they've won 10 of their last 13 on the backs of their incredible new defense.

TRUE 2-1

MNF Prediction - Seattle wins at home vs. the Packers. The defense is good enough to rattle Rogers and force enough mistakes to win. If this wasn't in Seattle, I'd take GB. Seattle has that huge home field advantage.

3-0 Called it.

Seattle over GB? That would be a huge upset. I think it'll be close but GB wins

[swarm]

Updated with lots of winners this week after a bunch of amazing, closely fought games.

[Slammin' Sammy]

Wow you called it but the NFL is a joke right now

[alanmychal1]

The Seahawks shouldn't have won but a win's a win and what GB has to do is stick it to them and win the whole thing

[jcr48]

Swarm I know you predicted that Seattle would win this game but did they? Steve Young said it best when talking about this game saying the official are ruining the NFL and its hard to stomach. What else is there to say? The Packers were robbed and a victory stolen by the officials!!!

[TTX]

if you needed more proof the officials need to be back, you just have to look at that game.

The new refs aren't any worse than the old ones. They did a study and it's 50/50. Only difference is now everyone is focusing on the refs and it's all the media talks about anymore. I've seen that play from last night happen tons of times and people are acting like someone died. Major over-reaction. The old refs admitted to giving the Steelers a SB for crying out loud lol

and this jerk was in the NFL for 15 years. The new guys have been here 3 weeks.

You don't really think that was a catch by the wide receiver do you swarm? I don't think there could be a clearer replay to show a wrong call.

This is an honest question. What kind of world do we live in where our President "Tweets" about the NFL, and he signs them as "bo".
