It’s Monday, and that means it’s time for a game-by-game look at Sunday’s slate of NFL games.
We provide an in-depth take (in comparison to our typical ADD-influenced postings) for each one, from the best game of the day to the worst, as determined by our blue-ribbon panel my own inherent and subjective biases.
Vikings 38, Packers 26: Brett Favre gets his wish, sticking it twice to the team that nudged him out the door and then bolted it shut and barricaded it with large pieces of furniture.
Dolphins 30, Jets 25: If coach Rex Ryan continues to suggest when the Jets lose that the better team failed to win, someone might eventually figure out that Ryan could be the reason for it.
Eagles 40, Giants 17: Three straight losses by the Giants have folks wondering whether they’ve fallen on hard times — or whether they simply aren’t any good.
Ravens 30, Broncos 7: Baltimore blind-sided (product placement!) the Broncos, with the once-dominant defense doing the job on a day when the Ravens scored 30 or more for the fifth time in seven games.
Colts 18, 49ers 14: Eight years after these two teams played and Colts coach Jim Mora didn’t want to talk about playoffs, Niners coach Mike Singletary is talking about playoffs.
Texans 31, Bills 10: In the same year a cop kept Ryan Moats from entering a hospital, the Buffalo defense couldn’t stop him.
Titans 30, Jaguars 13: Tennessee reverses the curse of the Terrible Towel, thanks to 228 yards from the running back who didn’t do the stomping.
Panthers 34, Cardinals 21: For Halloween, Kurt Warner apparently dressed up as Jake Delhomme.
Cowboys 38, Seahawks 17: Contrary to the beliefs of many Dallas fans, beating a bad Seahawks team by 21 points doesn’t equate to, you know, winning a playoff game.
Rams 17, Lions 10: St. Louis snaps a long losing streak, and Detroit continues to build on its newest one.
Chargers 24, Raiders 16: This one was closer than expected, but the expected outcome still occurred.
Bears 30, Browns 6: Not winning this game by 24 would have said a lot more about the Bears than the victory does.
How in the world do you turn three responses, only two of which are moderately supportive of the Cowboys, into “Contrary to the beliefs of many Dallas fans, beating a bad Seahawks team by 21 points doesn’t equate to, you know, winning a playoff game.”?
Florio don’t screen my comments.
Would it kill you to give the Eagles just a little credit instead of just saying “well something is wrong on those Giants…”
Saints blew out the Giants by the same margin and everyone was like – “wow, those Saints are awesome”.
The Eagles do it and suddenly the Giants have leprosy or something.
Favre didnt get nudged out. He retired with no intention of staying retired, only because he was too lazy to go through training camp. He will continue to play as long as he gets the Lord Favre treatment.
Hey Corn-Flori-Hole:
Must really stick in your craw that your Va-giants have been soundly thrashed in three straight games are going down the divisional standing faster than a two-dollar whore!…LOL. Guess all you can do is try to bring up the tired old rantings like….” Contrary to the beliefs of many Dallas fans, beating a bad Seahawks team by 21 points doesn’t equate to, you know, winning a playoff game.”? Well, as true as that maybe, I don’t hear any Cowboy fans saying that they HAVE won one. But f0r your information, butt-cheese, they have a better chance at making at least making the playoffs than your sorry, pathetic bunch of fags from New York!
I have to say something non-Favre related about the Vikings’ game……………
PAYMAH IS TERRIBLE!!! Can somebody tell me what the hell he was doing out there? He was totally lost in space and obviously doesn’t understand cover 2. And this is after 2 weeks of work with the 1st offence. I’m not sure how many big plays and points Paymah was burnt for but it was a lot.
Can’t wait for Winfield’s return!!
Dildobaggins,
The Saints didn’t lose to the Raiders and look unimpressive against the Redskins.
The Eagles are very inconsistent, which is why no one is sure whether they are good or not.
We all know the Saints are very good.
CdnMike,
Understood, and my point was not to downplay the success of the Saints or the Eagles’ in relation to it.
The point is that Florio would be shining up the Gnats and boobirding the Eagles had the game gone the other way. It’s like the Pats/Tenn game where he said nothing about the Pats accomplishments as well.
It’s his site blah blah blah, but be fair at least, and give credit where credit is due. The Eagles play good just as much as the Giants played bad.
Had this gone the other way, I’d bet any money Florio would have made some sort of “scrimmage” comment for the Eagles. In fact – wouldn’t this have been the perfect time for witty Mr. Florio to throw the “scrimmage” comment back at the Gnats seeing as the Raiders, Eagles and Giants are all tied into it….
Still waiting for that link idiot(Florio).
Saints will destroy the pretender ViQueens!
Go Saints!
