By The Pigskin Of Our Teeth, Week 11: The Great Escape

Signal Finder: MIA @ PHI, SD @ JAX (end), OAK @ MIN (end), CLE @ BAL (end of regulation), WSH @ DAL

Hey, where's the - oh, right, visiting AFC opponent. switches to CBS That was close. WTF L.J. Yeesh. It's starting to rain a little harder. Wow. Once SPEED 2 got to mid-field, that was it. He's the fastest guy in the building. See this? This is exactly how it happens. Why do you show us that? At least Donovan's walking off this year. The Dolphins' punter is struggling. Seriously, Beck should've been starting a month ago. Are you kidding me? Is this actually happening? Nice throw, A.J. vomits And here come the most deserved boos ever. The thing is, the Dolphins are so bad and they're only up by four. There's a welcome development! Go A.J. I'd really like another touchdown here. How did Avant hold on to that? He got drilled. Oh, he should've caught that. How 'bout another hold? Go for it. You're 0-9, for God's sake. What? They called time out for THAT? That's why they're 0-9. Seriously, that passed the Cardinals' wide receiver option for two against the Redskins as the worst play call I've seen this year. Is that Donovan on the sideline? Let's never do that again, please. (Eagles 17, Dolphins 7)

Vikings fans are watching Culpepper thinking, "Yeah, we'd probably like to have him back, but... how many times have we seen this?" Tim Dwight's still alive? KNOCK IT DOWN! (Vikings 29, Raiders 22)

And again we're subjected to watching the NFL Today crew doing play-by-play from the studio. Where's Shannon Sharpe, by the way? CLANK! It bounced OUT?! Wow. That's gotta suck. Wait, what? They're saying it might have hit that part behind the crossbar? Oh, it sure did. That side shot is tremendous. This isn't reviewable, and yet the referee is clearly going over to the sideline to look at it. So, if it just goes through, it's good, right? Boomer's about to have a heart attack. It's GOOD! The refs did the right thing there, rules or no rules. Billick may kill someone after this. (Browns 33, Ravens 30, OT)

Talk about a flip of fortunes. Williams: 6 tackles, sack, forced fumble. Bush: 104 total yards, 2 fumbles. Oops. (Texans 23, Saints 10)

Seriously, why is Jon Kitna talking smack? Strahan: "I honestly thought in the first half that was one of the worst teams we played that was 6-3. Maybe we'll see them down the road and if that's the case, we'll beat that ass again." And he was smiling the whole time he said that. (Giants 16, Lions 10)

This Week It Sucks To Be: 1-4. In Brian Billick's path; 5. The Pittsburgh Steelers.

Roy Williams gets beaten deep in coverage? That's never happened before. I guess after last year's wild card game Romo had magnets installed in his hands. How do teams continually not even bother trying to cover T.O.? If the Redskins could ever finish a game, they'd be dangerous. Seriously., they followed three Dallas touchdowns with three field goals. That's how you lose games. (Cowboys 28, Redskins 23)

YAY Kevin Everett. Like I said, the Bills have nothing for them. Did Moss watch the Cowboys game earlier and feel the need to top it? Seriously, it's like slingshots against tanks. It's not running it up if the defense does it. I wrote off next week as a loss when the schedule came out.(Patriots 56, Bills 10)

FANTASY REPORT:

aPaFL:CI (7-4, L2): .07? I lost to Ska by .07? I'm on tilt.
JackSux 4 (4-7, L2): And then Brady scores 55 and Charlie beats me by three. This sucks.

RANKINGS

TOP 3:
1. New England (10-0) - They could do it
2. Dallas (9-1) - Similarly machine-like
3. Indianapolis (8-2) - Nice to have Vinatieri back

BOTTOM 3:
30. St. Louis (2-8) - They're hot!
31. San Francisco (2-8) - Talk about a stoppable force. Trent Dilfer?
32. Miami (0-10) - They could do it
