Jets 34, Patriots 31 I was expecting it in the first quarter. When it didn’t happen, I thought, “OK, if this gets tight in the second half, it’ll come.” It didn’t. But when the game went into overtime, I would have bet the farm that it would come to fruition in the extra session. To…

Texans 29, Dolphins 28 How can anyone ever figure out Miami’s offense when it has plays that look like this: 2-8 MIA47 (6:19) C.Pennington pass deep middle to P.Cobbs for 53 yards, TOUCHDOWN. (Direct snap to MIA #23, who handed to MIA #34, who handed to MIA #10, who threw the pass.) NFL.com doesn’t even…

Giants 16, Redskins 7 Want to re-think the whole Jim Zorn hire, Daniel Snyder? I’ve never seen a team more unprepared for an NFL game than the Redskins. They showed no sense of urgency at the end of the game, and Zorn looked like he didn’t even know what a two-minute offense was. I can’t…

Ravens 29, Raiders 10 I had a mini-argument this week on the forums with Wraith about Raiders coach Tom Cable. Wraith said he was the worst thing since sliced bread. I opined that Cable was doing a fine job. Whoops! Can we count all of Cable’s gaffs on one hand? Let’s give it a try:…

Chargers 34, Raiders 7 After LaDainian Tomlinson scored the opening touchdown of the game, which established a 10-0 lead for the Chargers, he sat down on the bench, looked at his teammates and said, “That was easy.” That’s exactly how I felt with picking the Chargers to cover the nine. The Raiders were so pathetic,…

Giants 41, Rams 13 So much for jumping out of my first-floor window. I threatened to do so if the Giants lost to the Rams because I had them as my Survivor Pick. Thankfully, I won’t be in danger of twisting my ankle or something anytime soon. I found it odd that Joe Buck and…
