Forgive me, but I didn't get to see all the games. It's the Christmas/holiday season ... ;)

(Colts vs. Jags)

- The way to beat the Colts and Peyton Manning: Keep it close, get the ball last. Oh, and don't throw an interception when you're trying to score the winning points.
- Let's get David Garrard a hearing aid so he can catch that last piece of advice loud and clear.
- And there went the Jags playoff hopes.
- Maybe Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark have the coodies or something. I don't think a Jaguars defensive back touched them once.
- Are teams scared to play bump and run coverage anymore?
- That Maurice Jones-Drew is a playa.

(Cowboys vs. Saints)

- Who dat, who dat, who dat say they gonna be dem Saints? How about dem Cowboys!
- One more reason to hate the Cowboys: Ruining a possible 16-0 showdown between the Colts and Saints in the Super Bowl.
- I hope the Cowboys locker room sends Tony Dungy a nice Christmas card.
- Memo Wade Phillips: Instead of the naa, naa, nee, naa, naa, how about focusing your squad on the rest of the games you must win to get into the playoffs.
- A note for historians: The Cowboys are 4-0 against the Saints on Dec. 19
- What the FOLK?!?!?
- A kicker lacking confidence is like a wounded horse. Both need to be put out of their misery, which might be what's going to happen to Nick Folk.
- Let's put it this way: There's one Nick who's not going to be considered a Saint this Christmas season.
- For all the accolades DeMarcus Ware has received, this is the first time I've seen him make a big play at a critical point in a game.
- Saints OT J. Bushrod got Bushwhacked and Bushsmacked by Ware.
- Speaking of Bush, Reggie Bush trying to win the monicker of "Hop-Along Cassidy."
- What a time to pull up lame.
- Anthony Spencer is ready to bust loose.
- Drew Brees just handed the League MVP to Peyton Manning.
- When it rains it pours, huh, New Orleans.
- And I don't me Hurricane Katrina.
- The Saints did little right Saturday Night.
- As if it needs to be made official: Miles Austin IS the Cowboys No. 1 receiver.
- I'm ready to admit as a Cowboys fan: The Lions snookered the Cowboys on the Roy Williams trade.
- Stats-wise, Tony Romo is Mr. December.
- The Cowboys just provided the rest of the NFC the blueprint for beating New Orleans.
- Wade is still gone as Cowboys coach once the season ends.


(Chargers vs. Bengals)

- A moment of silence for Chris Henry, please.
- I don't care if you believe his death was a result of his negative behavior. He was someone's friend, teammate and father. Let's can the self-righteousness for just a moment and allow people to remember him as fondly as they want.
- Go ahead and shed a tear for the homey who isn't here, Chad.
- I was rooting for the Bengals to win, for Chris' sake.
- Is it just me or are the Bengals relying too much on field goals?
- I guess that's a good thing especially if your field goal kicker is not name Susisham or Folk.
- LT looks like he's discovered the fountain of youth.
- I really can't say enough good things about Phillip Rivers.
- Bad choice, Cincy, to blitz Rivers on the play before the game-winning kick.
- The Colts do not want to see the Chargers in the AFC Championship Game.

(Browns vs. Chiefs)

- Whoda thunk this would be one of the most exciting games of the week?
- Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Cedric Benson. These are the guys you might expect to surpass 250 yards rushing this year. But Jerome Harrison?
- Move over Jim Brown, you've got company.
- Good to see somebody on the Browns other than Joshua Cribbs is stepping up as a playmaker.
- Speaking of Cribbs, Arrowhead stadium is HIS Crib.
- Too bad special teams players don't get any Hall of Fame love.
- Cleveland might not "Pay da man" like Deion Sanders shouts, but some team will.
- Cleveland's punter Hodges wanted no part of recovering that fumble in the end zone if it mean getting hurt diving on the ball.
- A sorry display of a fumble recovery if ever I saw one.
- 3 C's, average on a report card; great for the Chiefs (Cassel, Chambers, Charles).
- But just like a report card, the Chiefs 3 Cs fell way short of a win this time.
- Or more appropriately, the Chiefs "D" let the 3 Cs down.

(Titans vs. Dolphins)

- Vince Young is learning how to throw the ball.
- Chris Johnson almost became the goat with his fumble.
- 9 consecutive 100 yard rushing games and counting.
- I say he makes it to 2,000 yards, whether the Titans are still fighting for a playoff spot or not.
- In fact, if they're eliminated, that might be just the reason to get Chris Johnson the record.
- Chris Henne (3 INTs) is still learning on the job.
- Despite the loss, I think the Dolphins are headed in the right direction.
- Way to play the thief, Hartline.
- Maybe I'd better check more about the ganja Ricky Williams is smoking.
- Apparently, it soothes the nerves and restores youthfulness.

(Raiders vs. Broncos)

- Did I read that right? JaMarcus Russell leads a game-winning drive? :eek:
- That Raiders are proving they're not the league's stepping stool.
- If not for the domestic charges, I think Tom Cable keeps his job.
- The Raiders have themselves some pretty good young receivers.
- Way to choke with the playoffs on the line, Denver.
- Brandon Marshall needs some help on the offensive side of the ball.

(Steelers vs. Packers)

- Roethlisberger winning in the last seconds of the game? Ben there, done that.
- The definition of a clutch player.
- What was Mike Tomlin thinking?
- Memo Mike: It's not fashionable to copy Belichick, at least not now.
- When the game reached its 60 Minutes point, it was naturally time for Mike Wallace.
- The Steelers must practice that toe-tap touchdown catch.
- Hey Packers, weren't you the No. 1 ranked defense?
- A gutsy performance by Aaron Rodgers.

(Pats vs. Bills)

- Hey Randy, you play in Gillette Stadium. Use a razor, well ya.
- I think Brady has more of the weight of the world on his shoulders than you.
- Gotta hand it to Belichick, though. He has a way of keeping Moss interested in the game.
- Throw to him early and often.
- Managing receiving divas, sigh.
- Wes Welker is definitely not a diva.
- The catch of football.
- 109 grabs and counting.

(Cardinals vs. Lions)

- Maurice Morris looking like Mercury Morris.
- Way to almost give one away, Arizona.
- Thank goodness for Larry Fitzgerald.
- And Beanie Wells.

(Eagles vs. 49ers)

- Can anyone cover DeSean Jackson?
- Too many mistakes for a young 49ers team to overcome.
- Don't be surprise if the Eagles are in the NFC Championship Game.

(Ravens vs. Bears)

- The unflappable Flacco goes 21-29, 234 yard sand 4 TDs on the Bears.
- Culter, the turnover machine.
- 3 more picks to go with his league high, 25.
- Someone is Denver is laughing hysterically.
- Matt Forte, where art thou?
- Lovie getting no love in Chicago.

(Falcons vs. NY Jets)

- Yeah, Coach Ryan. Mark "3 More Picks" Sanchez is your knucklehead.
- Braylon Edwards is good for dropping a long pass as he is catching one.
- Another good defense effort wasted by the Jets.
- Me thinks the Jets kicker shouldn't get too comfortable in his job either.

(Panthers vs. Vikings)

- I know who Steve Smith wants as quarterback next year.
- Matt Moore the Matador.
- We need a spatula to scrap Julius Peppers off Brett Favre.
- Courtesy of Bryant "Revolving Door" McKinnie.
- Peppers ran in, around and through him on his way to the quarterback.
- Over the past two weeks, Adrian Peterson has looked pedestrian - his lone TD run not withstanding.

- Six 7-7 teams fighting for playoffs? Parity-advocate Paul Tagliabue must be smiling, somewhere.

Top 5 teams: 1.) Colts, 2.) Saints, 3.) Chargers, 4.) Eagles, 5.) Vikings
Bottom 5 teams: 28.) Bills, 29.) Bucs, 30.) Seahawks, 31.) Chiefs, 32.) Rams

You know the drill.
