(Packers vs. Bucs)
- Good Mourning, Green Bay Take 2.
- This is supposed to be a playoff team?
- Getting beat by the Favre-led Vikings at home is one thing. Getting beat by the cream-sickle sad Buccaneers and a rookie quarterback making his first start …?
- Josh Freeman, shades of Doug Williams standing tall in the pocket.
- Ronde Barber still making plays.
- Sammie Stroughter, estatic after a go-ahead touchdown. Packers simply distraught.
- Forget Pewter Power. How about Popsicle Power.
- This is about as close to a Gatorade shower as Raheem Morris is going to get for a while.
- I’m probably the only one who likes the orange cream-colored uniforms.
- I still don’t get the hype surrounding Aaron Rodgers.
(Saints vs. Panthers)
- Oh, the Saints keep marching on.
- No lead is safe from the Saints.
- For all his tough running, DeAngelo Williams needs to learn to protect the ball better, especially against an explosive offense like the Saints.
- No need to Gamble when Brees throws a pick right to you.
- 8 down and 8 to go.
- The Falcons will beat the Saints the next time they play. Book it.
(Falcons vs. Skins)
- Michael Turner and his Teflon uniform, at least as far as the Commanders defenders were concerned.
- Todd Yoder’s TD catch was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal day for Washington.
- DC Comics: a.) the license holder of the Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman characters, b.) D.L. Hugley and Cedric the Entertainer performing in the nation’s capital, c.) How the Commanders play football, d.) all of the above.
- I don’t think this is the type of reunion DeAngelo Hall had in mind.
- Falcons coach Mike Smith might want to have on a uniform of his own charging into a pile of players suited for conflict and battle.
- If Hall brings that melee to the attention of Roger Goodell, he’s being petty.
(Bengals vs. Ravens)
- Expect Chad Ochocinco to get at the least a verbal reprimand for his “buy off the refs” prank.
- Harmless but not a good choice given the questions surrounding officiating in other sports, namely basketball and boxing.
- He did make one heck of a catch, though.
- Didn’t you used to be the vaunted Ravens defense?
- Chad stiff arms but Reed strips.
- Well Ced(ric): Benson doing his talking with his feet.
- The loss of Chris Henry could be huge for the Bengals.
- Anyone who thinks Henry shouldn’t be in the league with all his off-field incidents, maybe you think this is karma?
- Discovered in Ravens locker room after the game: kitchen brooms.
- Marvin Lewis is finally working his defensive magic in Cincinnati.
- The secondary is playing lights out.
(Chargers vs. Giants)
- Speaking of lights out, Shawn Merriman had something to dance about.
- Four sacks in two games, maybe it was just about his injury.
- Big trouble in the Big Apple.
- Lawrence Tynes forgot about the follow-through.
- Tom Coughlin apparently has lost confidence in his offense.
- Eli Manning might have been picked first, but Rivers was the better quarterback Sunday.
- Still think the Chargers would have benefitted more from selecting Knowshon Moreno in the draft.
- Hakeem Nicks is going to be a playmaker before long.
- Didn’t you used to be the Giants fearsome pass rush?
- The Giants secondary might as well have been invisible.
- You think the four-game losing streak will keep Brandon Jacobs quiet during the bye?
(Chiefs vs. Jags)
- Chris Chambers: off the waiver wire into the end zone, twice.
- Not that it did Chiefs much good.
- Can anyone stop Maurice Jones-Drew at the goal line?
- He merely has to hide behind an offensive lineman and he’s in for the score.
- Farewell Larry Johnson.
- Another career shipwrecked by the tongue.
- Or the tweet in this case.
- Two last names (Sims-Walker), twice the trouble for the Chiefs secondary.
(Titans vs. 49ers)
- See Vince run. Run Vince run.
- See Chris run. Run Chris run.
- Short distance touch downs. Long distance touch downs. It doesn’t matter to Chris Johnson.
- Don’t be surprised if he’s the next back to join the 2,000-yard club.
- Justin Gage joins the Mile High Club.
- Tennessee’s mantra: “One game at a time.”
- It may take Singletary a few more years to make the Niners into a powerhouse.
- Gore-Crabtree may be a winning ticket in 2010.
(Bears vs. Cardinals)
- Some love the Oslen twins. Cutler loves the Olsen triplets (three TD passes to tight end Greg).
- The Bears are who we thought they were – an up and down team falling farther behind the Vikings.
- The Bears miss Urlacher and missed Tommie Harris.
- Best headline of the day comes from the Chicago Sun Times, a picture of an ejected Tommie Harris with the headline “Punching Bag.”
- Wow. When did you think you’d ever see the day the Cardinals could consider an established franchise like the Bears a “punching bag”? :eek:
- I was wondering when we’d hear Larry Fitzgerald’s name again.
- Expect Anquan Boldin to be wearing another uniform next season.
- Four for the road for Arizona.
- Five picks last week, five touchdowns the next. The life of Kurt Warner and any other NFL quarterback.
(Lions vs. Seahawks)
- And a rookie quarterback named Matt Stafford (5 INTs).
- Poor Matt. Even his teammates wouldn’t acknowledge him on the sidelines.
- No lead is safe from a Lions collapse.
- After spotting Detroit 17 points, the Seahawks defense says, “enough.”
(Colts vs. Texans)
- It wasn’t a good week to be named K(C)ris Brown (kicker or singer).
- What Brown can’t do for you? Send your team to overtime or leave you unbattered and unbruised?
- The Texans just aren’t ready to take the next step.
- This is a game you must win if you want to establish you’re ready to move to the next level.
- Too many turnovers, too many critical collapses at the wrong moment.
- Manning couldn’t find the end zone, but he could find Dallas Clark – 14 times.
- The devil on the left side of Slaton’s shoulder was hoping Moats dropped that fumble in the end zone.
- Matt Schaub must see Dwight Freeney in his nightmares.
- Time management classes now open. Gary Kubiak, please enroll.
(Cowboys vs. Eagles)
- And Andy Reid. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t on the field goal try with 4 minutes left in the game down by seven.
- In fact, both Reid and Wade Phillips didn’t do a good job managing their challenges or timeouts Sunday night.
- How bout dem Cowboys!
- Written off for dead, now in first place in the NFC East.
- Brace yourself for Texas-size hype.
- I think it’s time to consider Jay Ratliff one of the best defensive players in the league.
- Talk about a shoe-string tackle.
- The (Victor) Butler did it.
- Michael Jenkins is becoming a ball hawk for the Cowboys.
- I’d say at this point he’s better than Terance Newman.
- Excuse me, but aren’t you DeSean Jackson, deep threat extraordinaire.
- When the Cowboys are ready to fly, they know how to rack up Air Miles.
- Does this qualify as a big game win for Tony Romo?
- Maybe we need to ask whether Donovan McNabb can win a big game when it matters.
- Yes, the question is ridiculous. A big game is always the next game you must win. Both Romo and McNabb have done that and have not done that.
- Celek lifts his leg, but the Cowboys were the ones marking the territory. The Linc, at least this year, belongs to the Boyz.
- Separated at birth: Brian Westbrook and Bill Bellamy.
- Philadelphia fans whining about bad officiating in a Cowboys game? Music … to … my … ears. :)
(Patriots vs. Dolphins)
- One glass of shut up juice for Mr. Joey Porter, please.
- Vontae Davis won a battle against Randy Moss with a nice interception. But Moss won the war.
- Dolphins should be tired of moral victories.
- This team has a scrappy bunch but needs a few more playmakers.
- Don’t look now, but the Patriots are prime for another Super Bowl run.
(Miscellaneous)
- Some divisions may be wrapped up before Christmas.
- Enuff already about a Colts-Saints Super Bowl. We’re only half-way through the season.
- Trey Dilfer is one of the best – if not the best – football analysts on television.
- Top 5: 1.) Saints 2.) Colts 3.) Vikings 4.) Patriots 5.) Bengals
- Bottom 5: 28) Rams 29.) Raiders 30.) Lions 31.) Browns 32.) Commanders
