49ers 10, Bears 6 You kind of knew this game was going to suck, so give Vernon Davis credit for trying to spice things up beforehand. Davis called out Chicago’s defense, saying that the 49ers were going to “destroy their front.” Davis didn’t do much in this contest (3 catches, 16 yards), but he definitely…

Chargers 42, Titans 17 People will look back at the 2009 Titans and ask how they failed to make the playoffs after going 13-3 the year before. What will be lost is that they actually did qualify for the postseason – they were just one-and-done with a 42-10 loss to the Chargers in Week 16….

Bengals 17, Ravens 14 It’s hard to believe, but the Bengals are 4-1 and have sole possession of first place in the AFC North. You have to give them a lot of credit for coming back from that fluke loss to the Broncos and reeling off four in a row. This is Cincinnati’s first four-game…

Jets 38, Bills 14 The poor Bills asked for the mercy rule down 38-7 in the third quarter. Unfortunately, the meanie officials didn’t grant their request. Buffalo was epically pathetic in this contest – enough to make young children in the area hate the team for the rest of their lives. Let’s review how awful…

Falcons 39, Bengals 32 After this game, I received an e-mail from Gary J: So, shall I take a stab at what your going to say about the Bengals? My guess is something along the lines of “ya sure Carson Palmer just threw for 412 but if you watched the game he clearly has no…

Colts 35, Jaguars 31 This loss is the end of the 2009 Jaguars. I know they can win out and finish 9-7, but they put everything into this game. The fans actually showed up for the first time all year; the team played way above standards; Jack Del Rio and Dirk Koetter actually got the…

Rams 20, Chargers 17 San Diego’s first road loss was just a fluke. The rain was coming down, Arrowhead was loud, and the Chiefs hit three big plays. OK… San Diego’s second road loss happened because of two kickoff returns for Seattle. That can’t possibly happen again, so let’s write that off. All right… San…

Ravens 30, Broncos 7 With Baltimore’s poor secondary play, all the talk this past week was how rookie corner Laradarius Webb was going to get more defensive looks. Webb didn’t contribute on defense, but he essentially won the game for the Ravens. Coming out of halftime, Baltimore held a slim 6-0 lead. Webb made it…

Ravens 34, Browns 3 The Ravens did a great job scheduling the Browns for their homecoming game. The 34-3 score doesn’t really tell you how much Baltimore dominated. The team outgained Cleveland 479 to 186, and beat the Browns on first downs, 28-11. Of course, it didn’t help that the Browns gave the Ravens four…

Jets 24, Bengals 14 I’m disgusted, so let’s try something different. Here are eight goats in this game for each of the eight units that I lost: 8. Steve Weatherford: The punter for the Jets couldn’t play because he was apparently “too ill.” What does that mean? You’re too ill to punt? Just go back…
