Signal Finder: PHI @ BAL, DEN @ OAK, NYG @ AZ
But first, a few questions. What the hell were Buck and Aikman doing at 49ers-Cowboys? Why'd I get the CBS late game instead of the early one? Was there some sort of convoluted conflict with the Baltimore market? I demand answers.
Butch: Not only were the Lions actually up 17-0, but the Bucs scored 35 straight points after that. Seriously, who is this team beating? (Buccaneers 38, Lions 20)
The Ravens defense is going to be angry after last week. Seriously, you don't think Ray Lewis gave a speech? Not much going on so far. Well, not much different, I should say. DeSean's gotta fight harder to pull that one down. That's a nice leaping grab by Wilcox. Go Quintin! We've been waiting for this - he's come tantalizingly close to breaking one a few times. And that may be the worst pass Donovan's ever thrown. What the what? Kolb? What happened? The announcers are in shock. This... isn't going that much better so far. Did Considine just go the wrong way? What happened there? This isn't a bad drive. Shame Westbrook got tackled at the 2 - I can tell you now how this is gonna end. Aaaand I'm tragically wrong. They put the list up afterwards of the 10 longest plays in NFL history - Reed has two of them. Has the Grey Cup started yet? I'd settle for the MLS Cup (which has started). I hate this team right now. I haven't turned on them, but I hate them. That makes sense, doesn't it? Really, Andy? You didn't tell McNabb you were benching him? That ain't right. (Ravens 36, Eagles 7)
So much for the mystique of Arrowhead. (Bills 54!, Chiefs 31)
Ward didn't make it. Oh, wait, he did. Never mind, then. I'd like to officially submit Edgerrin James as a Ewing Theory candidate. The announcers haven't even mentioned his name. The Giants have that "We'll beat you however the hell we feel like it" thing going on that the Patriots did last year. Hmmm, kickoff coverage seems to be a problem for the Cardinals. Wait, was... was he rowing? That's the worst celebration ever. How does he not catch that onside kick? (What do y'all think of that, by the way? I don't mind it, especially since the Cards hadn't stopped the Giants all day, and I also think the Eagles should've considered it in a similar spot when they played three weeks ago.) I think what we've learned is that the Cardinals, while relatively legitimate, aren't quite there. Hey, what happens if the Giants and the Jets are both the home teams for their respective conference championship games? That's a serious question, by the way. (Giants 37, Cardinals 29)
Zzzzzzzz. The Raiders' goal line offense looks like the Eagles'. Oh, look, a Raider commits a crippling penalty in a crucial spot? That's never happened before. This is the second time in two weeks this Higgins kid has burned somebody on a return. And the floodgates have opened. REVENGE THE TIME IS NOW. Listen, I know it's a rivalry game. But how do you get beat down like that in your house by the Raiders? This may be the worst 6-5 team ever. (Raiders 31, Broncos 10)
Don't look now, but the Colts are getting dangerous. Gonzalez on third down again! Teams might want to start maybe looking to find out where he is on the field or something like that. Y'know, for completists' sake. Well this is interesting, Dungy going for it on 4th and goal here. And it works! Hey, a Jacob Hester sighting. Did he make it? I don't think he made it. You can't call a sneak here, Madden. They need more yards before they can stop the clock again. Yeah, that's what you do. I feel like we've been here before. It's GOOD! OK, maybe we haven't. (Colts 23, Chargers 20)
Yeah, this is about the start I expected too. Lance Moore? Really? I predict the first team to make two consecutive stops will win this game. I can't keep up. And it looks like the Saints are going to get those stops. Sick shoulder block by Rodgers on David to save a touchdown... for the moment, at any rate. The crowd's going crazy for Deuce. What's happened to the Packers' defense? Did the Saints just try to go for two or something? What's that about? (Saints 51, Packers 29)
