Week 12 Recap

GB 37 Det 26- The Lions had some early chances, but couldn't put the ball in the end zone. Favre absolutely lit up the Lions so-called secondary to the tune of 31-41 for 381 yards. The Lions still have Romo, Rivers and Favre on the schedule so they are screwed if they can't figure things out in their pass defense.


Dal 34 NYJ 3- Even worse than advertised. The Jets suck out loud and Kellen Clements isn't the answer. My definition of hell is being tied to a chair and forced to watch the Jets-Dolphins game next weekend.


Ind 31 Atl 13- The Colts spotted the Falcons 10 before they finally shook off their hangover from the Pats game. Joey Harrington is just awful and the trading of Matt Schaub looks worse each week. Its time Jerious Norwood got the bulk of the carries.

Cincy 35 Ten 6- Certainly didnt see this one coming. The Titans were inside the 20 three times in the first half but only put up 6 points. Many thanks to Vince Young for doing nothing the rest of the game. Tenn should get right against Houston next week.

TB 19 Wash 13- TB can thank Was for gift wrapping their 7th win. 6 turnovers! Are you kidding? Jeff Garcia left in the 1st quarter and Bruce Gradkowski was Bruce Gradkowski- Garcia did come back in the 4th quarter. Jason Campbell threw a game ending INT in the end zone.

Jax 36 Buf 14- Closer than the score indicates. It was 22-14 until the final minutes. The Jags should have been up by a bunch, but kicked 5 FGs. Another reminder not to take JP Losman on the road.

Oak 20 KC 17- Herm should have played to win the game! Kolby Smith and Justin Fargas both had huge days, but KC couldnt get the ball back for a last gasp. Brody Croyle should not be starting in the NFL. It was Oak's first win against an AFC West team since 04.

Cle 27 Hou 17- Derek Anderson is the real deal and with Winslow and Edwards, Cle can get 20 on anyone. Their usually pathetic defense played pretty well. Andre Johnson only had 3 catches and the Texans wont win when that happens.

Minn 41 NYG 17- Put this one on Eli. Just plain awful all around. It looked like he was working with his receivers for the first time. He threw 4 picks, 2 of which were returned for TDs, and took a 30 yard sack on a 4th and 4 in garbage time. Sinorice Moss has hands like feet and Shockey was a non-factor.

NO 31 Car 6- Add Carolina to the list of teams that flat out suck. David Carr was horrendous again and got pulled for rookie Mike Moore. Unless Steve Smith starts learning the QB position, the season is over for the Panthers. Can't figure the Saints out- even in this game they were terrible in the 1st half, but excellent in the 2nd.

SD 32 Balt 14- Just when you think SD will quit on Norv, they come to life. The Ravens are bad- they cant score and their defense has become average.

Sf 37 Az 31- Rackers missed a GW FG in OT, but the Cards never should have let it get there. How do you let the Niners get to 30 on you? This team is lucky to get a drive of 30 yards let alone 30 points. You have to hand it to the Cardinals- they are capable of losing to anyone.

Chi 37 Den 34- Big ups to Mike Shanhan and Todd Sauerbrun for having the arrogance to keep kicking to Hester even though he was clearly the only person on Chi who could make this comeback happen. The Broncs blew a 2 TD 4th quarter lead and Hester had 2 TDs.

Pit 3 Mia 0- Another awful Monday night game- The NFL completely ruined MNF when ESPN took over. Now, the best game of the week goes to Sun nite when most people have already watched 6 and a half hours of football. Already this season, we've had to look at Buf twice, Mia, Atl, SF and Balt twice. Gross! As for the game, it was a performance strictly based on the weather.


Sea 24 Stl 19- I HATE THE RAMS! They always find new and interesting ways to lose, particularly to Seattle. They blew a 19-7 halftime lead. Gus Frerotte replaced an injured Mark Bulger to the dismay of anyone who picked the Rams. Good old Gus fumbled the snap on the 1 yard line on the game's last play.

Fantasy Updates: Kolby Smith(KC) and Justin Fargas (Oak) had huge days and are primary backs. Andre Hall (Den) looked like the real deal and grab Adrian Peterson (Chi) if he's still available because Benson is out for the year. Anthony Gonzalez (Ind) went for over 100 yds and Ocho Cinco had a huge day. Greg Olson (Chi) had another TD and is a good pickup if you need a TE. Huge days out of the D from Dallas and Minnesota. If Carolina's D is available, u might want to pick 'em up for next week's home game vs. SF.
