- Jay Cutler needs to stay away from a camera. He doesn’t photograph very well.
- He also needs to learn what kids learn in kindergarten: keep your hands to yourself.
- If Cedric Benson can give the Packers a running game, Green Bay could be very dangerous down the stretch.
- Freddie Jackson may not get his starting job back from C.J. Spiller.
- Romeo, oh, Romeo, where is art thou coaching skills, Romeo?
- The Seahawks are in good hands with Russell Wilson.
- The Cowboys must have thought beating the Giants was their Super Bowl.
- The Cowboys need to invest in Charmin toilet tissue, because they’re soft.
- Can Dez Bryant pull up his pants, please?
- Dallas needs to invest in the offensive line heavily during the 2013 NFL draft.
- Golden Tate’s wallet will be a little lighter this week, but that was a hellacious block on Sean Lee.
- The refs threw the wrong flag on the wrong player. I mean, you flag Bruce Carter for an out-of-bounds love tap and miss Tate’s illegal crack-back block on Lee.
- Don’t know if it would have made much difference, but the Jets could have used Darrell Revis.
- Antonio Cromartie needs to focus less on being a referee and more on defending Wallace in the end zone.
- Has anyone seen Chris Johnson lately?
- Jake Locker could have used more seasoning on the bench.
- Who needs Antonio Gates anymore? Not Phillip Rivers.
- All good things must come to an end, including the Patriots opening game at home winning streak.
- The Patriots eliminated many players of Survivor games.
- Well, we know Stephen Gostkowski is no Adam Vinatieri in the clutch.
- Cardinals RB Ryan Williams saved from goat of the week nominations by Gostkowski’s miss.
- The Rob Gronkowski holding call could have been a no-call as far as I’m concerned.
- The Pats two-tight end offense suffers a huge blow with Aaron Hernandez’s injury.
- Fantasy owners are scrambling to acquire the Cardinals defense.
- Al Davis still influencing the Raiders from the grave.
- This team may be forever cursed with mediocrity or worse.
- The Raiders have plenty of speed. They just don’t know how to use it.
- Reggie Bush was just burning Oakland defenders all day long. Get it? Burning Bush.
- Big Ben is just hard to bring down.
- Houston has a nice one-two punch in Arian Foster and Ben Tate.
- You can’t tell me Gabbert’s TD pass to Maurice Jones-Drew wasn’t a Hail Mary-type throw.
- Never, ever count Eli Manning out.
- Cruz rediscovers his salsa moves.
- With his nicks healed, Hakeem Nicks did pretty good himself.
- Memo to Tom Coughlin: Quit your belly-aching.
- Paraphrasing the immortal words of Herman Edwards: You play to end the game!
- The Bucs may be a team to reckon with.
- Trent Richardson shows why he was a high draft pick.
- Brandon Weeden didn’t look all that bad.
- Andy Dalton rediscovers A.J. Green, and just in time.
- Danny Amendola, the Ram’s Wes Welker.
- London Fletcher is a beast of a little man.
- Commanders Josh Morgan, candidate for anger management classes.
- Might be a candidate for a pink slip.
- He lost, but RGIII still doesn’t look like a rookie.
- Yep, the Saints need Sean Payton.
- Cam Newton found his Superman moxie.
- Just when you were ready to put your trust in Joe Flacco …
- Not very often Ed Reed becomes the Oh! In Olay.
- Vick’s been in the giving mood and it aint even Christmas yet.
- Ravens thought they had the game in hand. Opps.
- It appears Alex Smith has come of age.
- The 49ers have the look of a team that will just steam roll into the Super Bowl.
- Just when you thought the replacement refs were doing okay.


Top 5

1. San Francisco 49ers – Their defense is scary. Their offense aint that bad either.
2. Philadelphia Eagles – Yes, Vick is a turnover machine, but they’re still winning.
3. Atlanta Falcons – Denver is a pretty good team so they go ahead of the …
4. Houston Texans – Who beat a rookie QB in Miami and a hapless Jacksonville team.
5. Arizona Cardinals – Beating the Patriots was huge. More impressive than Chargers’ win over the Raiders and Titans.

Bottom 5

28. Cleveland Browns – They have some fight in them but are just too young.
29. Minnesota Vikings – I cut them slack because there’s not much to Ponder.
30. Oakland Raiders – They haven’t been relevant since Alf went off the air.
31. Kansas City – Romeo won’t last the season at this rate.
32. Tennessee Titans – This team is dog food.

Nice list. To add not nearly as many thoughts..

Even in CJ2K's best season, his run success was low for an elite runner. All of his value was in his YPA. It's like a low average, low walk home run hitter losing his stroke.

Mike Nolan's defense on MNF is going to get defensive line wonks like myself pulling out the all-22. Talk about going from plain vanilla to something exciting..

Falcons lost Peria Jerry for a period of time and the Broncos ran on them constantly with his replacement at NT (Babineaux, better suited to 3 tech). Jerry comes back into game, Falcons get a sack off the edge (yes, a solid middle affects the edge rush).
