Yet another reclamation project for the Raiders. Not so sure this is a good idea. What's interesting here is the lack of David Garrard playing anywhere...I'm wondering if he's over-valuing himself. Likely since no one wants him (and he has had opportunity in both oakland and Miami to start), unless Jacksonville knew something that we don't.

SirSoundwave...seriously? Two ties? I don't know if I've ever seen that. I was actually down by 36 points going into Monday night's game. I had Brandon Marshall, Santonio Holmes, Shonn Greene, and the Jets team defense going. Needless to say, it was a good night

[SirSoundwaveIV]

Yeah, two ties. Don't know how I managed it either, but I've pretty much stopped watching MNF because of how badly I get screwed on those games (tied in two games because of MNF, lost because of a best 88 yd TD one week...)

Though what may be weirder is that I'm currently one game out of a playoff spot in another league...at 2-4. I was 0-4 the last 4 games before this past week too

[UltraSteel]

Hmm... I wonder if the Bengals will be blacked out yet again this week.

[First-Aid]

Are the Bengals still in the NFL?

I have to say, the Bears-Bucs matchup this weekend is an interesting one. It may show if the improvements that Bears made last week against Minnesota were a one time thing (because the Vikings are so bad). It may also show us some more about Tampa- a team I still can't quite figure out. Plus it's in London, which is always cool.

Other games: Chargers at Jets; I love that Norv Turner came out talking smack this week about Rex Ryan. Especially considering Norv's previous playoff history.
Packers at Vikings: will Green Bay put up 50 against them?
Denver at Miami: the Andrew Luck Bowl! And apparently some guy named Tebow is playing for Denver.
Seattle at Cleveland: the Other Andrew Luck Bowl!
Upset pick of the week: Rams over the Cowboys.
Marquis game: Atlanta at Detroit- will the Lions bounce back from the loss to the Niners?
Texans at Titans: the Alliteration Bowl! Texans may go down here without AJ and Mario. Very concerned for them the rest of the season.

All trash talking aside on both sides, if the Jets lose this game, they're screwed. Unless the Pats do like the Sox, and collapse completely. Which would be awesome. Probably won't happen though.

Agreed on all counts. This is the season for New York.

[USDA Prime]

It always feels weird when the Pats have a bye. Yeah, I can watch the games for my fantasy teams (I've got two- 2-4 and 4-2 right now), but it's not quite the same. Worst part is I've got the weekend off, and if they were playing I'd have invited my dad and brothers over to watch. Oh well.

I am pretty sure Garrard is having surgery and won't be available until late in the season. I wonder if any team will actually bite on Terrell Owens. Seems T.O. still feels he has something left in the tank. He could potentially be a good #2 or #3 receiver for someone.

COuld be true, but the question is: will T.O. settle for being a number 2 or 3 choice? My guess is he won't. His ego won't allow him to.

[Prowl76]

I don't think T.O. will have a choice but to be a 2 or 3 option. He needs to face the reality of his age and coming off knee surgery.

[UltraSteel]

Hoping to see some good games tomorrow. Just realized my Bengals are on bye week! Smh....

[Rodimus Prime]

I think T.O. would be a good addition to the Browns, Titans or even the Jets at #3. He's not bad, just not what he used to be. OR, he could do the difficult thing and *remove cranium from sphincter* and just be a team player. If he's willing to show he can do that and not have money be a major factor, I'm sure at least a 1/4 of the NFL teams would make a bid on him.

Also, he has a good solid build, could he make the transition to a short-yardage tight end? Or is he too old for that? Or does it depend the offense he ends up with? (Quality of QB, O-line, etc.)

How about Terrell Owens, running back? Not solid enough...?

same for my pats. sad part is I thought last week was the bye week, so I missed Pats/Cowboys. and I was looking forward to that game to

[First-Aid]

He may not have a choice, but I just don't see him settling. T.O. is the best ever in T.O's mind and no one is close. There is a difference between having confidence in himself and being an arrogant idiot. I think he's the latter...I believe he will end up without a job simply because he WON'T settle for being a 2nd or 3rd option, since in his mind he isn't and never will be. It's like, "I'm the best ever and if you can't see that and treat me like the god I am, then screw you."

I'd hate that, especially with as good as a team New England is.

[First-Aid]

The Bengals fans are "Who Dey" nation. The Saints fans are "Who Dat" nation. The Bears fans are "What the f...?" nation. WHy weren't we running the ball like this earlier in the year? Seriously? Oh, and Jerry Angelo...PAY MATT FORTE!

Tim Tebow may not have started well, but damned if he didn't come through when they needed him. Nice win for Denver.

[Blurrz]

Denver.. wins a game?

No.

No.

OH YEAH

[Rodimus Prime]

The Jets survived another week. I think they need the bye now so they can patch up some stuff, and then come out swinging against Buffalo and New England. Even if those teams win next week, if the Jets can beat them back-to-back, they'll be right back in the division fight. If they slip either of those weeks, it'll be a fight just to stay in the wild card hunt.

And what the hell happened to the Titans in Houston???

The Vikings put up a hell of a fight against the supposedly invincible champs. I thought for a minute there might be an upset. It would have been huge.

Cleveland and Seattle. Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

DA BEARS!

Does it look like Baltimore and Green Bay will be in the Super Bowl?

...who dat..err...uhh...

..holy sh-t...

[Bed Bugs]

Wow, Colts got whooped like a Red Headed Step Child.

Wow, Colts got whooped like a Red Headed Step Child.

That is the understatement of the week. It looked like a college score. I honestly cannot remember the last team to drop 60+ points on a team. It just doesn't happen in the NFL...

[Cyber Bishop]

...who dat..err...uhh...

..holy sh-t...

No kidding.. It was like watching the old 49ers that just went for the throat and kept gnawing away until the clock ran out.

Some NFL history..
Highest score by one team (during regular season): 72 points when the Washington Redskins beat the New York Giants 72-41 on November 27, 1966

Highest scoring game (during regular season): 113 points when the Washington Redskins beat the New York Giants 72-41 on November 27, 1966.


Highest Scoring NFL Game, the most points scored in one game was 73 by the Chicago Bears in the 1940 NFL championship game against the Washington Redskins. That 73-0 shut-out is also the largest margin of victory in NFL history.

Interesting trivia: the Bears didn't kick any field goals in that game in 1940. They had a limited number of footballs and had to resort to running in the ball for extra points. The Bears scored 11 TDs in that game. They amassed 382 yards rushing on 57 attempts (Washington had 20 yards rushing on 16 attempts), intercepted Sammy Baugh and Frank Filchok 8 times-returning three for touchdowns- and forced 2 fumbles. Compared to this game, last night's blowout was a relatively evenly fought game.

did the jaguars beat the ravens? did the JAGUARS beat the RAVENS? no, seriously what the hell...

yeah, no kidding. I didn't see that coming at all. Period. I'll bet Vegas is sh!tting their pants today paying out huge cash to the three people who picked that game correctly.
