That catch by Mason was amazing and not at all the type of play you'd expect to see from either one of these teams. This is getting ugly. Did the Titans really not score there? What a bad time to cough one up. Johnson going out is really handcuffing the Titans' offense - they can't change gears on the ground, and it's not like their receivers are even as good as the Ravens'. Crumpler got drilled. How many chances are the Titans gonna blow here? I feel like all of this plays out differently if Johnson's in the game. Wait, the play clock not only clearly reached zero, but it sat there for like another second afterwards. What's up with that? And where did Heap's helmet land? I think when Finnegan went down, his legs got caught up with the other guy. Stover usually makes these. It's GOOD. I saw somewhere that both top seeds haven't made the Super Bowl since one of the Cowboys-Bills matchups, possibly the first one. And the Titans will join the multitude of teams sitting at home kicking themselves. (Ravens 13, Titans 10)
And this is what the Panthers do. That swing pass to Arrington? Not the best play call there. The heck? Delhomme threw that one right to him. Lather, rinse, repeat. The Beason pick was just what the Panthers needed. And they give it right back. This game's over. Where did this defense come from? I know Delhomme's been brutal, but this was still a game until the Fitzgerald touchdown, and Carolina's running backs haven't done anything since that first drive. It's Delhomme's birthday? Who the hell booked this? (Cardinals 33, Panthers 13)
And you better believe both of these teams are happy about that. Eli is... off. That safety seemed pretty much inevitable. McNabb is also struggling. That decision to rewind the play at the two-minute warning was... strange. They're dropping like flies out there. It's been weird to watch the Eagles not respecting their opponents' wide receivers. Curtis saved a touchdown there by basically tripping up Robbins with his fingertips. And Carney misses another one. How many chances are the Giants gonna blow here? You know what this is reminding me of? The Eagles-Bengals game where Reid kept calling pass plays even though McNabb was clearly off his game against a defense that's only strength was its two corners. That 3rd and 20 to Avant was huge. You know who's been completely taken out of the game is Westbrook. Seriously, Buckhalter's been much more productive. The next touchdown's winning this game. Aaand there it is. Nice cross-up. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mannings don't make money with their feet. That was the worst quarterback sneak of all time. That was Toomer's first catch? Wow. And they haven't thrown to Boss at all in the second half. Jacobs didn't even get close. McNabb wasn't as great as the media will say he was (though he was much better in the second half), but Eli absolutely sucked. (Eagles 23, Giants 11)
The Chargers can't be happy to see this. By the way, Sproles getting 300-plus total yards? Not happening this week. Well, that was quick. Huh. I thought Holmes was closer to the sideline than he actually was when he jumped over the guy - I thought he'd gone out of bounds. We're watching a textbook two-minute drill here, folks. The Steelers are really grinding now. That's half the quarter gone. Did he get in? Uh-oh, there goes Sproles. OOPS. Wait, what happened? The punt hit him in the head? Have the Chargers had the ball since halftime? Oh, yeah, the pick. This is the most effective Parker's been in about six weeks. Kick it. KICK IT. See? Who in the blue hell is #11? I've never seen him before. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the band to leave. (Steelers 35, Chargers 24)
