Jets 26, Bills 17 It’s official: Eric Mangini has no idea what he’s doing. The Jets stopped the Bills on third-and-11. Buffalo was penalized five yards. Though he had the option of declining the penalty and forcing a field goal, Mangini, in his infinite wisdom, pushed Buffalo back to make the kick tougher. Instead, Trent…

Panthers 34, Chiefs 0 The Chiefs are comical. The fact that they were outgained by 315 yards doesn’t even tell the whole story. In the third quarter, the Chiefs kept the game alive, intercepting Jake Delhomme in the end zone, down 21-0. Damon Huard tossed a pick on the very next play. It’s tough to…

Colts 31, Jaguars 24 When you handicap a game perfectly and watch the unbelievable happen, it can be tough. When it happens a few times a season, it’s sickening. And when it happens as much as it has occurred to me this year, it’s time to keep the car running in the garage. You’re not…

Broncos 34, Browns 30 There really is no point in handicapping games anymore. You can be right on the money, have the right side, and still lose. I’m frustrated. The Browns might be the dumbest team of all time. Seriously. I’m convinced that if Roger Goodell announced in August that he would be spotting Cleveland…

Bears 27, Saints 24 Rest in peace, 2008 Saints. With a seventh loss, they’re officially done. They still had a pulse at 7-6, but 7-7 has spelled the end for the preseason NFC South favorites. Sean Payton said the following before the game: “We can’t go three-and-out. We can’t give the Bears a short field.”…

Cardinals 30, Falcons 24 Matt Ryan opened up his pro career with a 60-yard touchdown strike on his first throw. His first pass in the playoffs, however, was an interception that sailed into the hands of Cardinals defensive back Ralph Brown. That basically epitomized how Ryan would play the entire afternoon. He had three spectacular…

Bills 24, Raiders 23 They’re growing up before our very eyes. This was an obvious trap game for the Bills, as they had every reason to have a letdown after beating two 2007 postseason participants. The Raiders had a 24-13 lead with five minutes remaining in regulation, but Trent Edwards was able to go 6-of-8…
