Week 13 Awards
Wow You Guys Suck: Carolina Panthers, I know Jeff Garcia isn't a terrible quarterback, but he certainly isn't very good either and you guys got torched. Not to mention the fact that this is your 5th blown 4th quarter lead of the season and now with the worst conference record of all of the 6-6 wildcard teams the matchup versus the G-Men this weekend has turned into an absolute must win game for the Panthers. All of those preseason Superbowl predictions are looking like they are headed to a crashing ending now. Runners Up: St. Louis Rams does anybody get this team they look like they have talent with Holt, Jackson and Bulger but it doesn't translate to Ws, Oakland's offense 5 turnovers basically continuing to kill their defense which plays well.
Cough Cough Cough: Herman Edwards, Poor Herm up by two touchdowns in the 4th quarter cruising towards a 1 game lead in the wild card and facing a bad teams backup quarterback, then wham. Tie ball game two touchdowns from a kid who apparently is a Beaver alum, who knew. Then they get the ball to start the overtime, an obvious advantage but can't do anything with it punt it away and proceed to give up a 30+ yard run to Derek Anderson, the backup QB, a slow white guy who somehow manages to break a tackle and pick up 15 more. The Browns kick a field goal, and the Chiefs go from the driver seat to a wild card contender with an incredibly difficult remaining schedule. Ouch. Runners Up: John Kitna missed the turnovers are bad memo, crippling my hopes of an upset over the Pats, Denver giving up a substantial lead at home to put them in a similar spot as the Chiefs.
This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Will Demps, You are the deep safety meaning when you're in a tie game with a minute left and you see a slow TE end running straight down the field you cover him and break up the pass. You are a safety you should be faster than Jason Witten, instead you give up a bomb which immediately puts the Cowboys into field goal range and puts the nail in any NFC East Title hopes for the G-Men. Runner Up: Jay Cutler don't throw the ball straight up in the air when your getting sacked, Tony Dungy burning his final timeout and thus convincing Jeff Fisher to kick the game winning 60 yard field goal.
The Shocker: Tennessee Titans, If a team routinely beats another squad when you you don't expect is it still shocking or are you just an idiot? The Titans have back to back to back Shocker status, so maybe their just good and I shouldn't be surprised when they beat a good team next week or the following week. Congrats to Vince Young for being immensely better in his rookie season than I or anyone expected, he sits in the pocket well and is making solid decisions in both the passing attack and when to take off down the field. A big time props to Rob Bironas for making a 60 yard field goal at the gun, I'm sure it made a lot of AFC fans smile. Runners Up: Cleveland Browns knocking off the playoff contending Chiefs, Martin Gramatica hero again who saw that coming.
The Pimp: Reggie Bush, And Reginald Alfred Bush II has arrived in the NFL with his biggest performance to date, showing a nose for the end zone and that break away speed that made him one of the greatest college players ever. As sweet as those dives into the end zone were, I didn't appreciate the fumble caused by air and thus costing Drew Brees a touchdown pass, not a fan of that move. Runners Up: LaDainian surprise 2tds 178 yards, Jeff Garcia 312 yards 3 tds no turnovers and a big W.
You Got JAKKED UP: Tony Romo, Romo stepped up in the pocket on one pass play on sunday and was destroyed from behind by Mathias Kiwanuka popping the ball straight in the air, fortunately for the Cowboys they recovered the fumble and won the game.
My Fantasy MVP: Jerricho Cotchery, had a huge first half 90 yards and a td but this is just for name value only as I got mauled by the team that has LaDainian who puts up 20+ fantasy points every single week without fail.
New York Jets MVP: Green Bay Packers Defense, Wow they are bad. When the Jets, a team that never throws a deep ball, can have go 5 for 5 in scoring drives in the first half with 4 of them being touchdowns, you know you are a terrible defense.

Week 13 Extra Quick Notes
~Atlanta back in the hunt somehow, one of the many NFL teams that you have no idea what you are going to get come sunday, down 14 they score 24 unanswered, boggles the mind.
~David Carr threw for 32 yards and the Texans won, comfortably. Thanks Raiders offense & Special Teams. Sucks to be anyone on the Raiders defense, no wonder why Raiders players lose their cool at the end games and throw flying knees to the groin.
~Randy Moss continues to be dead to the world. Trade him por favor.
~So the AFC is better than the NFC top to bottom, its pretty ridiculous. Just look at the playoff standings, the AFC has a better or same record at every spot 1-16.
~Those Thursday Games feel like forever ago come Tuesday Morning, you forget they even happened, thanfully this week is the Steelers versus Browns, aka don't feel bad that you don't have Direct TV.
~How bad are the Bucs, 145 points in 12 games, ugh. I think Bruce Gradkowski should head back to the bench, and Cadillac should reimburse every person that drafted him in the first round of fantasy drafts.
~Can't wait to see whether Oakland or Detroit wins the Brady Quinn shootout down the stretch run, should be a thriller.
~Is everyone in Minnesota ready for the Brooks Bollinger era to begin?
~It's amazing how much the Bears defense and special teams is masking the fact that Rex Grossman is playing just as bad as Kyle Orton did last year. More Yardage of course, but more turnovers. Don't see how he could win a Superbowl for them.
~I'm looking forward to the Saints Cowboys on Saturday night, that should be a very good game, finally a sunday night game that doesn't include the friggin Broncos.
~Speaking of Broncos maybe that Cutler move was a bit premature.
