Signal Finder: GB @ TEN, NYJ @ BUF, PHI @ SEA
The Bengals' remaining opponents just breathed a huge sigh of relief. Actual AP Line: "At 1-8, the Bengals are no longer on pace to be historically bad." (Bengals 21, Jaguars 19)
Who ARE these guys? Nice Favre impression by Edwards. There's three Jets over there. Looks like Lynch lost his load running down the interception. Those 27 plays the Bills went without getting any points were pretty impressive. Think about that. They had the ball for a quarter and didn't score at all. GUNSLINGER. See, that's how you grind out a drive. I feel like the Jets got lucky here, which is saying something since they never win in Buffalo. (Jets 26, Bills 17)
Did we really have two non-quarterbacks throw touchdown passes in the same game? That's never happened before, right? I feel like this got under-reported. (Buccaneers 30, Chiefs 27, OT)
Bironas and Crosby have gotta be getting tired. "This is not Chris Johnson!" And neither side really gave too many inches apart from that big run by White. The thing about the Titans is, their passing game's probably their biggest weakness, but the way they play, we'll never find out for sure. CLANG! I've always wondered how frustrating it is to be an offensive player stuck on the bench in overtime. And Fox is forced to cut away at the worst possible moment (because Bironas has already clanged one off the upright, so this wasn't a lock by any means). Can't you do a split-screen or a little PiP action? Something? (Titans 19, Packers 16, OT)
ESPN Radio: "If you've never seen an NFL quarterback throw a changeup, there you go." This sounded like a massacre. Was it even that close? (Giants 35, Cowboys 14)
Seriously, how do you get fooled that badly on a fake on the first play you see? Not only is Donovan misfiring, but the play selection's been awful. Run the ball one time for the love of God. Of course, after that first play, the Seahawks haven't done any better. Are you kidding me with that? Double coverage? I almost burned my fries after that. Isn't this how we started last week, only less ridiculous? Man, the Seahawks are just getting stifled now. Hey, that's how the Texas Tech game ended. This is how we started last week. Ah, the tackle-eligible. It NEVER gets old. Brent Celek's playing BIG. Seriously, I think the Seahawks have had two big plays since that first score. You know what I'm noticing is that the Eagles seem to be knocking down a lot of passes, which is unusual for them. I don't know if that's been a problem with Seneca in the past or not. Now, about that goal line offense... (Eagles 26, Seahawks 7)
It's just not the same without Brady, man. The Colts are done if they lose tonight; let's put that out there right now. Have the Patriots had the ball yet? Harrison's returning punts? Wow. Gonzalez has been all over the place, or at least as much as you can be in a game like this. This isn't the first time Jabar Gaffney's dropped a gift touchdown against the Colts. I'm gonna have to go against Belichick on that one; I think he outsmarted himself. 52! GOOD! Why are the Patriots out of time outs? What an odd score. This was, like, the third-fastest game ever. (Colts 18, Patriots 15)
The Redskins have never worn all-burgundy before? Odd. What the hell was that? When you do that, it's not supposed to go straight forward. And the Redskins have six points without a first down. Is this the Eagles game again? Ooh, a blocked punt. That may be just what the Steelers needed given the way the defenses have clamped down so far. Byron Leftwich lives! And there's Nate Washington again. So much for Campbell's interception-less streak. Polamalu immediately signaled for Tomlin to throw the challenge flag. Like, before the play actually ended. Yeah, that's not even close. How do you not go to Portis there? We haven't heard his name all night, by the way. (Steelers 23, Redskins 6)
FANTASY REPORT
aPaFL (3-6, L2): Worst. Performance. EVER. Seriously, this was a futility record and I don't even have to check it. 29.23 points. "High"lights: Backup JaMarcus Russell: -3.3. Selvin Young: Inactive. The Bears' defense: Lost about 15 points due to their mid-game meltdown against the Lions, of all teams. CHANGE IS COMING.
JackSux 5 (5-4, L1): This wasn't much better, to be honest. McGahee didn't play. Todd Heap might as well not have played. And I was against Kurt Warner.
RANKINGS
1. N.Y. Giants (7-1) - The total package
2. Tennessee (8-0) - Who's scoring on them? Seriously
3. Pittsburgh (6-2) - Ben's status pending, of course
30. Oakland (2-6) - They almost can't get worse, and yet...
31. Cincinnati (1-8) - It's not a good sign when "merely dreadful" is an improvement
32. Detroit (0-8) - What the hell question was asked that Daunte Culpepper could have possibly answered "Yes" to? Besides "Would you like a job?" obviously.
