Colts vs. Chiefs
- And then there were none.
- Automatic Adam Vinatieri boots Kansas City from the ranks of the unbeaten.
- Didn’t use used to be the high-scoring Colts offense?
- End zone sends “Missing You” card to Reggie Wayne for the second consecutive week.
- Wayne gets the yardage, Collie gets the touchdowns.
- Dwayne Bowe got there. His hands just failed him.
- Mike Hart could be a poor man’s Ray Rice if given a chance.
- Nice goal-line stretch by the little man.
- Can’t fault Todd Haley’s onside kick to start the game.
- Ditto going for the touchdown instead of the three early in the game.
- Hindsight, however, says you should take the sure points, especially since Colts only scored 19.
Buccaneers vs. Bengals
- Wow. Carson Palmer is really bad.
- Doesn’t help when Chad Ochocinco doesn’t catch the ball.
- Carson meets his (Cody) Grimm Reaper.
- The Bengals may have to search for a quarterback in the off-season.
- Another big day for T.O.; another loss for Cincinnati.
- With Cedric Benson running for, 8, 9 and 11 a pop, the Bengals should have stayed on the ground.
- Gotta feed the beasts (T.O. and Ocho), I guess.
- The future looks encouraging for the Buccaneers.
- That was not a catch by Michael Spurlock late in the game.
- That was a great catch by Michael Williams in the end zone.
- A dash more of speed and Earnest Graham ties Tony Dorsett’s 99 yard touchdown run.
Ravens vs. Broncos
- I think it’s safe to say Ray Rice is back from injury.
- No running game for Denver spelled no hope against the Ravens.
- Brandon Lloyd appears to have gotten his head in step with his talent.
Commanders vs. Packers
- LaRon Landry turned in one of the better performance by a safety Sunday.
- Have ball, will locate. Big time interception in overtime.
- Mason’s misfortune (missed field goal at the end of the game) is Gano’s gift.
- Mike Shanahan making chicken salad from leftover chicken.
- Nothing spectacular, but McNabb just gets it done.
- Clay Matthews, the human heat-seeking missile.
- A pedestrian output by Aaron.
- AA (Anthony Armstrong) delivers, and not just for recovering alcoholics.
Jaguars vs. Bills
- Still waiting for Spiller to make a splash.
- I have to think if Lee Evans were on another team, he’d be more recognized as a receiver.
- At least Ryan Fitzpatrick keeps the Bills from total offensive collapse.
- Maybe the rumors about an impeding Sims-Walker trade need to circulate every week.
- Marcedes Lewis drives Bills secondary crazy.
Lions vs. Rams
- The Lions were due.
- Never thought they would score the most points of any team this week.
- (Stefon) Logan’s Run: the sequel.
- I think a city on the Bay could use Shaun Hill right about now.
- King Kong Suh, strut your stuff.
- First Donnie Avery, now Michael Clayton. The Rams are starting to run out of healthy receivers.
- That doesn’t bode well for Sam Bradford.
Giants vs. Texans
- Ahmad Bradshaw, the No. 1 running back position is officially yours.
- Talk about awaking a sleeping Giant.
- The Giants defenders played Allied forces to Houston’s Arian ground attack.
- Get used to seeing Hakeem Nicks and touchdown in the same sentence.
- Uh, Houston we have a problem, and it’s in your secondary.
Bears vs. Panthers
- Julius Peppers does his best “How ya like me now” routine.
- His bat-down interception had athleticism written all over it.
- Fortunately, the Bears were playing the Panthers.
- Search the waiver wires. There has to be someone better than Todd Collins out there.
- Growing Pains, the sequel, starting Jimmy Clausen.
- Matt Forte returns as a running threat, helps put the game away early for da Bears.
- I’ve heard of “Sly like a Fox.” In Carolina, it’s about to be “Bye, like in Fox.”
Falcons vs. Browns
- Look up underrated, there you will find the name Peyton Hillis.
- Remember Touchdown Tommy Vardell, who was nothing of the sort. Well, Cleveland’s touchdown player is Hillis.
- Speaking of touchdowns, get used to the Ryan to Roddy connection.
- I’m guessing somewhere in his earlier football days, the Falcons DE Kroy Biermann was a wide receiver and a good one.
- With due respect to Peppers, that was the best display of athleticism by a lineman this year.
- Michael Turner, off and running once again.
- The Browns might have pulled off a victory if Seneca Wallace had not gotten injured.
- Glad he’s gotten the chance to prove he could play in this league.
Raiders vs. Chargers
- Chargers special teams a misnomer on this day.
- Michael Huff(ed) and he puffed and he led the Raiders to a stunning win over the San Diego Chargers.
- Heads up play by Tyvon Branch. May be the easiest touchdown he’ll ever score in his career.
- Fittingly Oakland’s unlucky losing streak to San Diego stops at 13.
- Me thinks the Raiders running game is in capable, er, hands with Michael Bush.
- A poor man’s version of Michael Turner?
- A benching might have been just what Jason Campbell needed.
- Phillip Rivers has such a nice touch on his passes doesn’t he?
- Malcolm in the middle, Malcolm in the flat, Malcolm in the end zone. Malcolm Floyd was everywhere.
- Vincent who?
Titans vs. Cowboys
- Water is wet, the sky is blue, the Cowboys are overrated.
- Have fun watching the Super Bowl from the owner’s luxury skybox.
- Not you, Wade. You’ll be in Texas but it won’t be near Cowboys Stadium.
- How many times must we suffer a sideline shot of a clueless, frustrated Wade Phillips after a bonehead mistake, Jerry?
- I’m convinced Jason Garrett has no appreciate for the running game.
- I need to do an analysis on how many times has he called back-to-back running plays or back-to-back-to-back running plays.
- It must be that Dallas telegraphs its blitzes because I witnessed the Cardinals, Raiders and Eagles have success with theirs yet the Titans picked up almost every Dallas blitz.
- How comical, Marc Columbo gets flagged for excessive celebration not because he spiked the ball but because he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Rules say you can’t go to the ground after a football celebration, or so I’m told.
- That is the Cowboys season in microcosm.
- Then again, the Cowboys haven’t visited the end zone that often this season so maybe this was an appropriate time for celebration. Cue Kool and the Gang song of same name.
- Miles Austin has come a long way as a receiver.
- The man is a straight balla.
- Circus Ole called Roy Williams. They a tight-rope specialist.
- See what good comes from Felix Jones touching the ball for double digits, Garrett?
- CJ still clearly the better back.
- My gracious, that guy is super fast.
Cardinals vs. Saints
- Did Rodgers-Cromartie learn nothing from Nate Clements last week?
- Apparently rookie quarterback Max Hill didn’t get the memo that you slide when taking off on a scramble. I think the memo came via a collision near the goal line.
- If someone would have told you the Cardinals wouldn’t score a rushing or receiving touchdown yet would beat the Saints, would you have believed him?
- The Cardinals defense was seeing red.
- The loss of Reggie Bush hurts the Saints badly.
- One week a hero, the next week a goat. Such is the life of a kicker, as John Carney rediscovered.
Eagles vs. 49ers
- Alex Smith won’t be making any one in San Fran forget Joe Montana.
- Remembering Jim Druckenmiller maybe.
- Comebacks were a common theme for Niners fans in the 90s. Oh, where have the good ole days gone?
- Oh, just hand the ball to the Eagles next, Alex.
- Smith’s ball security problems are second to Frank Gore’s.
- LeShon McCoy rescued from bonehead play of the game by the Eagles defense and the 49ers offensive ineptitude.
- Ted Ginn Jr. has found his niche as a kickoff specialist.
- Did the reliable David Akers actually miss a kick?
- Mike Singletary gets the dreaded vote of confidence.
Random thoughts
- Parity, thou doest reside in the AFC South.
- A 400 yard passing game does not a win make. See Phillip Rivers and Tony Romo.
- Who will be the first coach to get canned? My bet: John Fox.
- Another Monday night stage, another opportunity to overcome for Brett “Textual Harassment” Favre.
Top 5:
1. Ravens (satisfied, Ravens fans?)
2. Steelers (because of the bye week)
3. NY Jets (pending tonight’s contest)
4. Falcons (only loss to the Steelers)
5. NY Giants (playing some of the best football of recent weeks)
Bottom 5:
28. Lions
29. Cowboys
30. 49ers
31. Bills
32. Panthers
