Patriots vs. Ravens
- No Moss? No problems.
- Deion Branch understands what having a great quarterback can do for your career.
- The dink and dunk apparently works, especially against one of the better defenses in the league.
- Then again, the Ravens pass rush faded down the stretch.
- Tom Brady will ultimately make Aaron Fernadez a household name in Boston.
- Who put nails in Brandon Meriweather's cereal?
- Boldin fitting into the Ravens' offense nicely.
- Kickers are overrated only when they miss.

Steelers vs. Browns
- Big Ben is back. Hide the women, hide the children (if they're teenaged daughters), hide the Lombardi trophy.
- James Harrison is just a violent man.
- Lawrence Timmons will be haunting somebody's nightmares in Cleveland.
- If the Steelers become a passing team like the Patriots, Mike Wallce will rank as one of the best receivers in the AFC.
- Hines Ward to Eric Wright: Give me that ball, son.
- It would be nice to know Colt McCoy was related to Dr. McCoy because he has and will take a beating this season if he remains the starter.

Dolphins vs. Packers
- The Carpenter nails a Dolphins win.
- Aaron Rodgers thrice received a rude aWake[/bning from Cameron Wake.
- A 86-yard TD reception doesn't get done with good route-running and nifty moves and Greg Jennings showed a plenty.
- Dallas didn't have any use for Anthony Fasano, but Miami sure does.
- What's that about another team's trash is another team's treasure?
- The Dolphins are a few playmakers away from a championship team.
- The Packers are an injured reserve squad away from a playoff team.

Rams vs. Chargers
- How bout dem ... Rams?!?!?
- It doesn't matter who the receiver is, Sam Bradford fines him.
- Wait until this guy gets some true playmakers at the position.
- Lights out, especially since the term is no longer applicable to Shawne Merriman.
- Bogus call on Chargers defensive player Barnes on hit on Bradford.
- Steven Jackson has got to be the slowest featured back in the league.
- After every defense huddle, James Hall, Chris Long and Larry Grant must have said, "Let's meet at the River(s). Break."
- Slow starts nothing new for the Chargers.
- Patrick Crayton a nice pickup for San Diego.
- Longer cleats Nate Keading.

Giants vs. Lions
- Did Antrelle Rolle not learn anything from Nate Clements?
- Eli rediscovers that Mm good feeling throwing a TD pass to Mario Manningham.
- Ahmad Bradshaw does the long running, Brandon Jacobs get the glory for the short-yardage touchdowns.
- The Lions have become the NFL's version of road kill. 22 straight road losses and counting.
- When Shaun Hill went out, the game was basically over.
- Some would say it was over at the coin toss.
- Matthew Stafford can't get back too soon.

Seahawks vs. Bears
- So there's some game left in Mike Williams.
- His tap dance catch would make Sammie Davis Jr. proud (RIP).
- Is Devin Hester the best return specialist ever or what?
- Jay Cutler will be eligible for battered quarterback syndrome benefits by the end of the year.
- The Bears are who we thought they were - AVERAGE.
- Seattle at least gets something from the Deion (Butler) they kept.
- Matt Hasselback isn't ready to call it a career just yet.
- The license plate on that truck, Cutler, was No. 27. The driver? Jordan Babineaux.

Saints vs. Buccaneers
- Saints stomp upstart Bucs.
- Drew Brees with time on his hands is a wonder to behold.
- A scrub running back named Chris Ivory splashes and dashes the Bucs defense for 158 yards.

Eagles vs. Falcons
- In the battle of the birds, Eagles soar, Falcons grounded.
- Kevin Colb, the most underappreciated quarterback in Philadelphia since ... Donovan McNabb.
- We know he won't be a candidate to replace Bill Maher in any resurrection of "Politically Incorrect."
- It was only a matter of time before DeSean "Lightweight" Jackson was knocked out cold.
- He's playing on borrowed time under 170 lbs.
- He did damage while was in the game, though.
- Get Donta Robinson some smelling salt while you're at it.
- Jerry Maclin? Simply Mackin'
- Atlanta Falcons? Not there yet.

Texans vs. Chiefs
- KC has to find a way to win these type games if they want to win the AFC West.
- Did they not know Andre Johnson was going to be featured in the final drive by Houston?
- Jamal Charles with his best imitation of a marble breaking from a sea of marbles.
- Velcro and Dwayne Bowe don't usually go hand-in-hand, but this Sunday they did.
- Tough break on the injury to Demeco Ryans.
- I might have missed him but was Dexter McCluster featured any on KC's penultimate drive?
- Haley took a page out of Jason Garrett's playbook during the next to last drive in which he should have just milked the clock with a running play.
- Or did Jason learn from him?

Jets vs. Broncos
- Where has Denver's running game gone?
- For anyone else it would have been X pays the end zone its first visit. But for the patron saint of football it's the end zone welcomes Tim Tebow, and celebrates with a victory dance.
- Did you not feel the earth shake?
- Inhabitants on Revis Island? Randy Moss, DeMaryius Thomas and, hopefully, a trainer who specializes in hamstring injuries.
- I'm starting to believe Rex Ryan.
- LT fans having renewed hope he might just challenge Emmitt Smith's all-time rushing record.

49ers vs. Raiders
- Welcome to the win column, San Francisco.
- Jason Campbell, back to being pitiful again.
- When Frank Gore can hold onto the ball, the 49ers can feature him and less of Alex "Overthrow" Smith.
- He did connect with Crabtree and Davis so all is not lost.

Colts vs. Commanders
- I'm impressed with how competitive the Skins are.
- Brian Orakpo is da real deal.
- Insane is the only way to describe the one hand catch by Pierre Garcon and Aaron Franciso.
- It seems they both attended a course on "How to snag a pass out of mid-air with just one hand."
- Garcon and Austin Collie are making Reggie Wayne almost an afterthought.
- Joseph Addai provides the Colts the balance they need, if only he could stay healthy.
- If you haven't picked up Ryan Torain in your fantasy league, too late.
- What a fitting last name for a ground-attack offense needing a key running back.

Vikings vs. Cowboys
- Wade Phillips: Dead man walking.
- Didn't Wade get fired for special teams break-down in Buffalo?
- Wasn't Jesse Holley activated for special teams play?
- Never get your players from a reality TV series.
- Only in Jerry World.
- Jason Garrett, Jerry Jones is your only hope for a head coaching job at this point.
- No home team Super Bowl for Jerry Jones.
- E.J. Henderson must be good at reading tea leaves.
- Stupidity is becoming infectious in Dallas. Now Miles Austin has caught the bug.
- The pushoff was unnecessary, as was the leap frog.
- Percy Harvin suffers migrains; Cowboys get the pounding headache.
- Being named free doesn't mean giving Jared Allen an unabated rush on your quarterback, Dougie.
- Can we say Roy Williams has finally redeemed himself?

As much as I hate the boys, the are not bottom 5. They have a bottom 5 record, but they still have more talent than at least half the league. Coaching? That's another story.

Goodbye dough boy Wade. Not nice knowing you.

Yeah, gotta agree...not really a bottom 5 team. The coaching and leadership is in dire need of some upgrades and they currently have some serious mojo working against them this season...both things of which I am enjoying to an incredible level lol :D...

But they're not the #30 team in the NFL. #20 might be more like it right now.

I'd have to say Cowboys aren't as bad as their record shows. However, the path they are taking right now will get them to 8-8 at best. I'd like to see the Cowboys buried but I have a feeling they will still make some noise. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

The Cowboys are a bottom 5 team. I don't think even the 0-5 Bills and Panthers make the kind of bone-headed mistakes the Cowboys make. Theirs is just a lack of talent. They get a pass. The Cowboys don't.
