New England's Tedy Bruschi, returning to the lineup eight months after a stroke, is the AFC's defensive player of the week.

 

Bruschi had 10 tackles Sunday in the Patriots' 21-16 win over Buffalo. He played nearly full-time in his first game since the Super Bowl.

 

Other AFC players honored were Denver quarterback Jake Plummer (offense) and Houston's Jerome Mathis (special teams).

 

The NFC players of the week were Tiki Barber of the New York Giants (offense); Charles Tillman of Chicago (defense) and Joe Nedney of San Francisco (special teams).

So, according to the people that award this thing, not a single defensive player in the NFL Sunday did better, or had a bigger impact, than Hero's 2 tackles and 5 coy-wires. I am astounded. Astounded.

You have to be kidding, he wasn't even in the top 3 defensive performances in the game, let alone the league. I know it's not his fault the NFL and media are giving him a ball washing every 5 seconds but this crap is really making hate Bruschi.

Somebody should notify the NFL about this huge discrepancy in their official game stats.

Buff/NE game stats

He's in there...you kind of have to scroll down a ways to see his defensive impact on the game. But he's in there. For real.

And Deeray told you so last week when one poster posed the question of who would be this week's AFC def. player.

 

Moral of the story?

 

Deeray may be the father of all pricks... (I'm a prick's prick) but, he is always right!!!

It makes sense, Bruschi gets 2 tackles, 5 assist, 0 Sacks, 0 INT's and is named AFC player of the week. The NFC representative is Charles Tillman, he made 6 Tackles, 1 assist, 0 sacks,and had an INT returned for a touchdown in overtime.

 

If awards are given for sentimental reasons why not give Willis the comeback player of the year award last year? I thought the actual NFL was better then ESPN, apparently not.

Charles tillman (DB-Chi) had 6 tackles and the game winning INT return for a TD in OT... and he's the NFC POtW

 

3 other players (scored defensive TD's this week)

 

3 players (odell thurman, deltha oneal, rashean mathis) had 2 INT's this week

 

Warren Sapp had 5 tackles, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble

 

5 players had 10 tackles for real this week, and 2 of those players had a turnover (fumble recovery or INT) as well

 

yet bruschi was better than all of them? Must have been his 1,467 "hits" he recorded against the Bills

We're talking AFC. Tillman was the NFC player of the week.
