- It wasn’t a good week for officiating (again) and ankles (four players - Ronnie Brown, Marc Columbo, Jordan Gross, Kyle Orton and Michael Turner) down with ankle injuries.
(49ers vs. Bears)
- The Bears are who we thought they were, and so is Cutler.
- If he played for Dallas, we’d never hear the end of how he can’t win a big game.
- So far, Crabtree is outplaying Heyward-Bay.
- If the 49ers hope to make a push for the division, they’ve got to keep Frank Gore healthy.
- Chicago squanders a great defensive effort.
(Titans vs. Bills)
- In terms Forrest Gump would understand, that Chris Johnson is a running fool.
- Boy, aren’t the Titans glad Dallas choose Felix Jones. (Jones was the Titans’ target until the Cowboys pick him in the 2008 draft.)
- Johnson can slow down and defenders still can’t catch him.
- One game at a time and before you know it the Titans could be back in the hunt for a wild card.
- Nice block, Vince, but, remember, you’re the quarterback.
- Mount T.O. has erupted.
- T.O. hasn’t torn the Bills apart. They were already in pieces.
- I think it’s time to pull the plug on the experience known as T.O. after this year.
- From shouts to silence, has anyone heard from Lendale White?
- I don’t think Bud Adams was signaling “We’re No. 1.”
(Vikings vs. Lions)
- Montana had his Jerry Rice, Favre has his Sidney.
- You just want to get out of the way when Adrian Peterson gets the football.
- Old man Favre, like Old man river, just keeps rolling along.
- If Favre keeps playing like he does, I wouldn’t be too sure the Saints will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
- Phillip Buchanon might not be that great a corner, but he has some serious wheels.
(Bengals vs. Steelers)
- Thumpity, thump, thump, thumpity, thump, thump look at that Frosty (Rucker) go.
- The Bengals out-tough the Steelers? This indeed is a new day in the NFL.
- Cincinnati relegates Ravens and Steelers to kitchen duty.
- Can you spell S-W-E-E-P!
- No Benson, no problem.
- Great Scott, who is that striped man returning a kickoff against the Steelers?
- Steelers not-so-special teams gives up another return touchdown.
- I think that’s seven in as many games?
- You may not believe it, but I did think the Bengals were going to vie for a playoff spot at the beginning of the season.
- Dr. Shoals for Jeff Reed and Shayne Graham, please.
- A day for sore feet at Heinz Field.
- James Harrison loses his cool? No, duh.
- The Bengals D is 4-real.
- Maybe Ochocinco should continue sending pre-game gifts to opponents.
(Jags vs. Jets)
- Didn’t you used to be the surging Jets?
- The start of the season must seem like it’s in the far distant past.
- The absence of Kris Jenkins is being sorely felt on the defense.
- You gotta hold on to that two-point conversion, Braylon Edwards.
- Double the name (Sims-Walker) double the trouble for the Jets secondary.
- I’ll resist using “Mercedes” and “drive” in the same sentence, though he did have a big catch.
- The difference between a smart play and a stupid play is directly related to success or failure of said play.
- If Jags miss the last second field goal, Jacksonville would have become Second-Guess city.
- Maurice Jones-Drew, a bowling ball on speed.
- If you have him on your fantasy team, you can’t be too upset save for that kneel down before the goal line.
- Isn’t it amazing the influence of fantasy football when Jones-Drew has to apologize in a post-game press conference.
- Shades of Brian Westbrook, speaking of whom ...
(Chargers vs. Eagles)
- I think he should retire for the sake of his long-term health.
- At least Jason Avant showed up to play.
- The Eagles Kryptonite: a short-yardage running game inside the red zone.
- About as baffling as why Jason Garrett won’t commit to the running game with three very good running backs is why Andy Reid won’t after years of falling short (pardon the pun) without one.
- The Eagles made LT look like the LT of old.
- Or should that be like a young LT?
- It’s amazing how the prospect of a new child can make you feel young again.
- Congratulations LT!
- Naanee, Naanee, Naanee, Naaneee hey, hey, hey, (Eagles) goodbye.
- And just like that, the Chargers are tied with the Broncos.
(Commanders vs. Broncos)
- Maybe this is a mercy injury for Kyle Orton and the slumping Broncos.
- At least they do everything in streaks (six consecutive wins, three consecutive losses.)
- Chris Simms played like a quarterback who hasn’t been under center in three years.
- Does someone, anyone on the Commanders squad want to cover Brandon Marshall?
- Clinton Portis may not get his starting job back.
- Ladell Betts should be the work horse for the Skins offense.
- Devin Thomas just wouldn’t be denied.
- When you’re 2-6, you go for it on 4th and 20.
- DeAngelo Hall is a stupid, stupid player.
(Dolphins vs. Buccaneers)
- The Carpenter nails the winning kick.
- Bucs robbed by replay.
- Clayton was down just as Felix Jones was. A player contacting another player on the ground basically makes a tackle. Doesn’t matter whether the ball touches the ground or not.
- Young coach (Raheem Morris) with short fuse.
- Right to be upset but can’t cost his young team an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
- Besides, your players tend to adopt your personality. See Kellen Winslow II.
- Ricky Williams still has some life left in his legs.
- Dolphins fans pray that Ronnie Browns’ leg is okay.
- Josh Freeman stands tall in the pocket, has some touch.
- Maybe Miami was on to something when they bypassed Ryan to grab Jake Long then Henne in the second round.
- Still young but shows good poise.
(Packers vs. Cowboys)
- Three very good backs mean no backs at all.
- Jason Garrett is like a kid at Christmas with so many toys but no idea how to play with them all.
- Why this team has not become a running team for times like the Green Bay game is hard to fathom.
- I’m probably the only Southerner and SEC fan who thinks Charles Woodson should have won the Heisman over Peyton Manning.
- Woodson is a straight up baller.
- I know it won’t happen, but I hope the Cowboys get rid of Roy Williams in the off season.
- A No. 1 receiver, indeed.
- Not only imitating T.O. in talk but in critical drops.
- Did you see he had the audacity to wave at Romo as if the pass was too high?
- That should have been an easy catch for a guy who stands 6’5 and supposedly has the hands that he does.
- Miles Austin is discovering what it’s like to be the focus of a game plan.
- Jason Witten is a great tight end, but he has no wheels what so ever.
- I can’t blame Tony Romo for the loss. He played a great game and was careful with the ball until he had to force a play near the end.
- I can’t blame the defense either. They just couldn’t hold out at the end after giving the offensive countless chances to score by holding the Packers on their side of the field all during the first half.
- I will blame Jason Garrett. I credit the Cowboys three losses on him not knowing the game situation and managing the game/offense properly.
- Again, you have Felix, Choice and Barber and you can’t find a way to get the ball into these guys’ hands?
- Felix Jones recovered the football. Period.
- I don’t know why that play isn’t reviewable.
- All things considered, the Packers offensive line held up pretty well.
- The Cowboys must seriously revamp its offensive line.
- Pardon the pun, but Marc Columbo’s loss could be huge for the Cowboys.
(Panthers vs. Falcons)
- Steve Smith gets reacquainted with the end zone, twice.
- You might as well let Jake Delhomme run the no-huddle. You’re paying him enough, Carolina, so you might as well find out what he’s good at.
- No interceptions in three games? A major improvement.
- Of course, it helps to rely on a running game featuring DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart – arguably the best running back duo in the NFL.
- Jordan Gross’ injury is gonna hurt.
- Matt Ryan (12 interceptions) is experiencing rookie mistakes a year late.
- Come on Josh Elam, you kicked in Denver. You gotta make those chip shot field goals.
(Cardinals vs. Seahawks)
- Justin Dorsett, I mean, “Forsett” reintroduces the ground game to Seattle.
- Injury notwithstanding, Julius Jones shouldn’t feel too secure in reclaiming the starting role.
- You simply can’t get in a shoot-out with the Cardinals.
- Arizona has an embarrassment of wide receiver riches.
- Kurt Warner continues to add to his Hall of Fame resume.
- That’s Beanie baby!
- Imagine how potent the Cardinals will be if Wells continue to mature as a running back?
(Chiefs vs. Raiders)
- Russell sat down for a second consecutive game?
- Uh, how does “permanently” sound, Coach Cable?
- Who is this Jamaal Charles and why is he running all over the Raiders defense?
- What’s up with running back sensation Darren McFadden?
- Darrius Heyward-Bay giveth (the Raiders a first down on their way to a scoring drive.) then giveth away (a hilarious bobble, bobble, pick).
- I haven’t seen this much laughter in black since Def Jam Comedy.
- Let’s just will the deed to the McAfee Coliseum to the Chiefs (seven straight wins in Oakland).
(Saints vs. Rams)
- I don’t think anyone leaps to the end zone in better style than Reggie Bush.
- Just slap him on a cape and call him Superman. That’s how easy he makes it look.
- As if the Saints needed another weapon on special teams, enter Courtney Roby with a return for a touchdown.
- Drew Brees may throw interceptions, but he obscures them with pinpoint TD passes.
- The Rams were game.
- They need more Steven Jackson’s and Donnie Avery’s.
- Avery filling the role of departed Tory Holt admirably.
- Cowboys No. 11 (Roy Williams) needs to take a page from Rams No.l1 (Brandon Gibson) on how you catch a ball in crunch time.
(Colts vs. Patriots)
- Aren’t you Bill Belichick Super Genius?
- Just call him Maytag and watch the spin begin.
- It was a dumb move, not to mention arrogant.
- What’s worst than giving Peyton the ball with less than two minutes left with 70 yards to go? Giving it to him with under two minutes and 30 yards to go?
- I’m betting if this game was in New England, Faulk makes that first down.
- Way to waste a sensational day by Randy Moss.
- Way to capitalize on a sensational day by Reggie Wayne.
- Wayne does Moss one better on catches (10 to 9) and the Colts do the Pats one better on the score board (35-34).
- Another Colts-Pats game for the NFL’s archives.
- If Jim Caldwell didn’t say two words, I wouldn’t even know he was coach.
- Manning continues to add to his legend, if that’s even possible.
- In the doghouse? Uh, Lawrence Maroney should be renamed doghouse.
- Questionable pass interference call on Darius Butler.
- Oh, and I hate the way pass interference is called in the NFL.
- Then again, as Sunday night proved, this league is about the star quarterback not the star cornerback.
- What can you say about the NFC Central and the influence known as Brett Favre? One quarterback trying to escape the shadow of Favre (Aaron Rodgers), one already emulating a young mistake prone Favre (Jay Cutler), one trying to be a more mature, less-reckless Favre (Brett Favre) and one who hopes to have just half the success of Favre (Matthew Stafford).
- I must admit, despite being a Cowboys fan and wanting to see my team in the Super Bowl, I haven’t anticipated wanting to see two teams like the Saints and Colts in the Super Bowl since the classic-titantic matchup that never happened between the Vikings-Broncos in 1998.
- Imagine if both get there with 16-0 records?
- Top 5: 1.) Saints 2.) Colts 3.) Vikings 4.) Bengals 5.) San Diego
- Bottom 5: 28.) Rams 29.) Lions 30.) Bills 31.) Raiders 32.) Browns
