Thoughts on NFL Week 12
- Ndamukong Suh should look for a suspension from Commissioner Goodel, if his team doesn’t beat the commissioner to it.
- Any chance of him claiming he’s not a dirty party went out the window with three pushes to the head and a stomp.
- If he’s suspended for the upcoming New Orleans game, kiss the Lions’ playoff chances goodbye.
- Matthew Stafford is an erratic quarterback.
- Aaron Rodgers is an elite quarterback, but I wouldn’t exactly call him the best ever as some are doing.
- Does any team have a better receiving corp. than the Packers?
-The Miami Dolphins, no longer cellar dwellers.
- Matt Moore may have a future with Miami.
- It seems Reggie Bush has found himself some toughness.
- Terance Newman’s chokehold: great move in MMA, not so great in stopping Brandon Marshall from catching a touchdown.
- Look for the Cowboys to invest a high draft choice in a cornerback.
- Why is Alan Ball impersonating a starting cornerback?
- Laurent Robinson is playing better than Dez Bryant.
- Kicker Dan Bailey has been money for the Cowboys.
- Tony Romo giveth (two interceptions) and taketh away (a victory from the hands of the Dolphins).
- The 49ers got jobbed on the chop block call that negated a Ted Ginn Jr. touchdown. There's no telling when Ginn will make a return visit to the end zone on a touchdown reception.
- Terrell Suggs just doesn’t make quarterbacks feel comfortable in the pocket.
- Frank Gore couldn’t get it going against the Ravens.
- Michael Crabtree has not been the answer at receiver for the 49ers.
- Give Joe Flacco credit. He’s stepping up when he has to, especially against teams Baltimore has to beat.
- For defensive purists, this was the game to watch.
- Houston, we’ve got a quarterback problem.
- Matt Leinart can’t get a break – unless it involves a collarbone.
- The hopes of the Texans are in the hands of rookie T.J. Yates. Tell me that makes you feel comfortable, Texans fans.
- The Texans are holding a Hollywood casting call for quarterback.
- As long as Houston remains an Arian Nation, the Texans still should make the playoffs.
- Foster better buy him some stick em, though. Against a better team and those fumbles could be costly.
- If there were a defensive coordinator of the year award, Wade Phillips would win it.
- Texan cornerback Jonathan Joseph almost celebrated his interception a little premature.
- Third times a charm? Not for Texan defensive lineman Connor Barwin who bags himself a quarterback four times.
- The Jags aren’t going anywhere, Blaine Gabbert is the future, so why bench him, Coach Del Rio?
- It’s not too often a high-class vehicle like a Mercedes stalls, except when one name Lewis can’t catch an easy touchdown pass.
- Jacksonville needs to build its draft strategy around finding offensive pieces to put around Gabbert and Maurice Jones-Drew.
- He’s not Tim Tebow, but Sam Bradford has accuracy issues.
- Rams receiver Austin Pettis does make an outstanding stretch of a catch.
- The Rams run defense is horrid, giving up two 200-plus rushing games to relatively obscure running backs.
- They’ve made DeMarco Murray and now Beanie Wells look like Eric Dickerson and Jamal Lewis.
- Cardinals DB Patrick Peterson is becoming someone teams won’t want to punt to.
- He’s already tied Devin Hester’s single-season punt return record with four.
- It’s simply criminal for Larry Fitzgerald to finish the game with only one catch.
- The Jets keep their playoff hopes alive.
- The Bills basically have to look to next year.
- Bills receiver Stevie Jackson might want to give more attention to catching balls than end zone celebrations. Just saying.
- I guess you could say he shot his team in the foot by drawing a 15-yard penalty for his end zone antics and dropping an almost certain game-winning touchdown pass.
- His mocking of Plaxico Burress was tasteless.
- Sadly, it his erratic and stupid play overshadowed him basically owning Darrell Revis for part of the game.
- Easily the Dolt of the Week.
- Maybe the Bills would like a do-over on that Fitzpatrick contract.
- I thought C.J. Spiller would be better at this point in his career.
- If I’m playing the game “CONCENTRATION,” I want Brad Smith as my partner.
- Talk about keeping your eye on the prize. Great deflection, catch and run for the touchdown.
- Antonio Cromartie is good for a few bond headed plays a game.
- Burress probably hasn’t gotten all the rust worked out, but he does make some spectacular plays with the few catches he gets.
- Last week, I think Mark Sanchez was overwhelmed by the Tebow magic. This week, he created a little magic of his own.
- Good things happen when Sanchez gets the ball to Dustin Keller.
- Santonio Holmes knows how to make corner catches in the end zone.
- I’m convinced the Colts just don’t want to win.
- It’s almost painful to watch Painter play.
- With Manning under center, you knew the Colts would win such games. With Painter under center, you know they’re going to lose.
- If Polian retains Jim Caldwell next year, I’ll know they were in cahoots to get Andrew Luck.
- I guess you could say it’s fitting a guy name Luck ends up with a horseshoe on his helmet.
- At least Reggie Wayne becomes reacquainted with the century mark in catching yardage.
- I like Cam Newton’s end zone celebration.
- Cam may have added some life to Steve Smith’s career.
- I felt Smith got a ticky tacky offensive pass interference call.
- The Panthers are finally spreading out their running game beyond just Cam Newton.
- Good to see DeAngelo Williams find the end zone again.
- Carolina defensive back Sherrod Martin showed receiver’s feet on that toe-tapping interception that clinched the game for the Panthers.
- Colt McCoy’s scrambling ability is underrated.
- Good goal-line stand by the Browns defense.
- I’m impressed with what I see in Andy Dalton.
- It would be shame if the Bengals don’t make the playoffs, but with Pittsburgh and Baltimore in their division, I doubt they see the post-season.
- I’m convinced A.J. Green has extensions on his arms.
- That man can extend to catch a high ball like nobody’s business.
- Cedric Benson is slowly getting back his groove.
- Peyton Hillis is back, if just to make the game close.
- I guess Cleveland didn’t want to play field position at the end.
- Browns coaches should have made Cincinnati march the length of the field instead of giving them a short field after a missed field goal.
- I think what we can say is Rex Grossman is a better quarterback than Tavaris Jackson.
- Roy raising Helu in Washington’s backfield.
- I don’t know whether it’s the rules or not, but I’ve seen more cornerbacks and safeties fail to locate the ball in the area than any other time I’ve been watching football.
- Case in point, on Anthony Armstrong’s touchdown catch, the Seattle defender doesn’t even bother to locate the ball until after AA catches it.
- Marshawn Lynch is returning to beast mode.
- I think Pete Carroll is crossing his fingers that Matt Barkley is within striking distance during the first round of the 2012 NFL draft.
- Red Bryant with Seahawks is a field goal blocking machine, three this year.
- DeAngelo Hall jumped when he should have stayed grounded, otherwise, he would have had a pick six.
- Skins Josh Wilson in no way interfered with Mike Williams.
- Pass interference calls should be subject to replay review. The refs are missing too many and calling penalties on too many non-calls.
- The field wasn’t the only thing sloppy about the Titans-Buccaneers game.
- Nine turnovers, many a product of the weather condition.
- Chris Johnson had a chance to treat the football like a greased pig.
- Albeit, Johnson finally paid fantasy football dividends this year.
- LaGarrett Blount, leaping tall defenders in a single bound.
- Titans put some razzle dazzle in their return game.
- Javon Ringer lets the rain get the best of him and his handling of the ball.
- Aqib Talib pays a rare visit to the end zone via a pick six.
- Josh Freeman forgot to bring the ball within him trying to convert a fourth-down play.
- Tim Tebow has made boring offensive football fun again.
- Broncos games were rarely among the games I paid attention to via the NFL Sunday Ticket. With Tebow as starter, they’re now on my “Must Watch” list.
- I had no doubts the Broncos would win that game once it got into overtime. Well, maybe a little.
- Forgive me Tebow, for I have sinned. Help thou my unbelief.
- Chargers kicker Nick Novak “pissed away” two chances to give his team a win.
- No, he wasn’t Tebowing on the sidelines.
- More like “Peebowing.”
- Chargers fans were probably yelling Noooovak after his overtime miss.
- I don’t think Norv Turner survives this year.
- Phillips Rivers just doesn’t look like he’s playing with much confidence.
- The Broncos and Tebow on the other hand …
- The Chargers’ offensive line has gone through a year’s worth of injuries.
- That was one sinus clearing block Vincent Jackson delivered on Denver’s Quentin Carter.
- If this were a defensive league, Von Miller would be rookie of the year instead of Cam Newton.
- He and Elvis Dumervil were playing “Meet you at the quarterback” all game long.
- Victory via VonDoom. I can see the posters now.
- If the Broncos win the AFC West, John Fox will be a frontrunner for Coach of the Year.
- Sebastian Janikowski putting the foot back in football and kicking the Raiders into first place in the AFC West.
- Someone tell Haine he aint no Marino.
- No matter who is behind center, Mike Martz is going to have him throwing.
- Martz might be the Bears’ worst enemy in their hopes to get to the playoffs.
- A more conservative Fox strategy and the Bears win the Raiders game, especially with their defense and special teams.
- Kameron Wimberly has become more of a playmaker with the Raiders.
- Bears offensive lineman Lance Lewis got some wheels for a big man.
- Now get that man an oxygen tank.
- This year has been one big Nightmare for the erstwhile Dream Team.
- And when Andy Reid awakens, he might not be coach of the Eagles.
- And DeSean Jackson might not be wearing Kelly Green next year.
- I doubt Vince Young and Michael Vick will be on the same roster next year either.
- Reid’s downfall may be that he was never really committed to the running game.
- Eagles receivers couldn’t catch a cold butt naked in a Philly snowstorm. Well, except for Jason Avante.
- The Mad Scientist Bill Belichick again experiments with turning diminutive receivers into defensive corners.
- Julian Edelman got his licks in on Vince Young and showed excellent technique in tackling Young in the open field.
- Tom Brady directs his receivers like no other. He could be an air traffic controller when his career is over.
- So the Eagles have a million dollar secondary and couldn’t figure out how to shut down Wes Welker when several teams with lesser secondaries could?
- Nmandi Asomugha was the most overrated signing of the offseason.
- Jared Allen does a pretty good impersonation of a long snapper.
- Roddy White gets is hands on the ball early and often.
- Leslie Frazier missed a critical challenge of a Percy Harvin touchdown that wasn’t that should have been.
- Harvin is turning into the Vikings everything man now that Adrian Peterson is injured.
- Toby Gerhart was serviceable, but he’s no AP.
- Tyler Palko’s no Tim Tebow. Kyle Orton, start warming your arm.
- With a Tebow performance, i.e., no turnovers by the quarterback, the Chiefs win this game.
- For a minute there, I thought Ben Roethlisberger was a piñata.
- Giants safety Kenny Phillips can expect a hefty fine from Goodell.
- You just don’t want to get in the way when Brandon Jacob decides to run full steam toward the end zone.
- Doctor Drew Brees was in surgery mode.
- Giants defense still fat off Thanksgiving Day leftovers.
- Good for Victor Cruz, resisting the urge to do his Salsa dance with his team behind by 18.
- The Freaks come out at night as does the Saints offense.
Top 5
1. Green Bay Packers – I doubt anyone’s going to beat them this year.
2. San Francisco 49ers – Still the only two-loss team and got jobbed on a bad call that would have given them a touchdown in a game that only produced one.
3. Baltimore Ravens – They play to the level of their competition, which has been more good than bad.
4. New England Patriots – It looks like their defense is coming together.
5. New Orleans Saints – They’re unstoppable when Brees is firing on all cylinders.
Bottom 5
28. Philadelphia Eagles – What a waste of talent.
29. San Diego Chargers – What a waste of talent.
30. Jacksonville Jaguars – After this season, this team will have its bags packed ready to move.
31. St. Louis Rams – Aren’t you supposed to be coached by a defensive guru?
32. Indianapolis Colts – Among the other things they’re lacking? Bags for the fans.
