35-3 at half.... lets not forget the 3.

Learned long ago as a Patriots fan, when it comes to the Jets (Bills and Miami) to never underestimate our opponents, their ability to stage a comeback, and the ability of our defense to turn into the keystone cops in the second half.

Wondering exactly when the Jets are gonna realize Sanchez is their version of Romo i.e. occasionally phenominal but mostly unpredictable, unreliable, and disappointing. Can trying Tebow at the helm, for even a game or two, be that bad an idea?

Favorite response to the Pats/NY game seen in the web last night...

J-E-T-S: Just End the Season

Still can't get over the Lions game and that totally blown ref call. That runner was down. Lions should have won.

Hadnt seen that acronym for Jets but it kind of fits eh? When your own fans start swearing at you, its not a good sign.

That controversial TD in the Detroit-Houston game was confusing. I am presuming no whistles were blown because no official had a clear view of the runner being down. And, in the absence of a whistle, Forsett alertly got up and ran it in.

If I understand this correctly, the play would have been automatically reviewed, and overtuned, except before replay officials could review the play, Lions coach Jim Schwartz threw his red challenge flag, which by rule, calls for a 15-yard penalty and nullifying the automatic review.

Never knew that rule existed but it makes sense to me. Kind of like a "nip a petulant toddler in the bud" rule. Was nice to see Schwartz gesture in understanding that he knew he screwed that up.

Washington-Dallas was fun. RG3, who I swear someone needs to check for bionic parts, was amazing. It was nice to see Romo get his head out of his butt long enough to make it interesting. Seeing I picked Washington to win, it was nice of Romo to come up short in the crunch again.

You got it. At least the league will be definitely looking at this rule and most likely altering it next year. Not only did it kill the chance for the review but they also got a 15 yard penalty for challenging an unchallengeable play. So they got nailed twice.

Hmmmm. Is the rule the problem? Or, was breaking the rule and having facing the consequences of doing so, the problem?

Perspective thing I guess.

May be a first but I didn't watch any Turkey day Football. Probably a good thing.

Can't believe the Jets decide to play Tebow when they are already down 30+ points. What the hell kind of outcome did they expect with that. Hell, let the guy start a game! It sure in the hell wouldn't hurt your team Jets!

congrats to my NE HUSKERS who won the Champs Division and will be off to Indy next week to battle the Badgers. Go Huskers !!

.. and now for the rest of week picks.

HOU beat DET

WA beat DAL - no surprise there!

NE took over the JETS

----------------------

I have to go with the Bears over the Vikings. Cutler is back.

Bengals over the Raiders.

I would like the Browns to beat the Steelers.

Its the Bills over the Colts, barely.

C'mon Jax over Ten

It's gotta be the Broncos over the Chiefs.

C'mon MIA over SEA.

I have faith in these Bucs over ATL.

ooo BAL and SD. Chargers win.

Cardinals over Rams.

Another great game Niners and Saints. Close one with Saints taking this win they need!

Let's go Giants over the Pack.

Gonna be CAR over PHI for MNF>

ARE YA'LL READY FOR MORE GREAT FOOTBALL SUNDAY!?
