Week 12 Wrap-Up

Eagles Fall
On Sunday the Eagles fell to the Bears 26-31. I'm not surprised by this loss but I don't think it's the end of the world for Philly. I hate to say it but Philly needed this loss. The MNF high has finally worn off and now it's back to reality for Eagles. Check your NFL Parity Clocks folks because on any given Sunday, Monday or Thursday a team can go down. Hopefully Philly can pick up a win against a dangerous Texans team. Two loses this late in the season could send the Eagles packing early.

Manning Losing His Cool
Peyton Manning was intercepted four times when the Colts hosted the San Diego Charges on Sunday Night Football. This loss comes at a bad time for the Colts who are 6-5 and 1/2 game behind the AFC South leading Jaguars. It's not time to press the panic button just yet but Indy is in big trouble if Manning can't pull things together soon. The Colts host Dallas next week and play three division games in the last quarter of the season. Should I dare say that the Colts might miss the playoffs?

Team Andre
Cortland Finnegan and Andre Johnson were both fined $25,000 for their scuffle on Sunday. Neither player was suspended which is great news for Andre Johnson and the Texans who fly into Philly Thursday night for a date with Starship 7. I, however have a major problem with Cortland Finnegan. He clearly initiated the fight and was even seen clapping after Andre Johnson started punching him. Finnegan was clearly getting burned by Johnson on the field so he decided to engage in silly antics. I don't condone violence but I'm siding with Andre Johnson on this one. I hope Finnegan can do his job and get his life together. Good luck making the playoffs...

McDaniels Next On Chopping Block
?
The Broncos are 3-8 but owner Pat Bowlen insists that he's not ready to fire Denver coach Josh McDaniels. I find this very hard to believe and I know a lot people agree with me. We've seen this before time and time again—Phillips, Childress and now maybe McDaniels. I may be wrong but Mini Spygate isn't helping McDaniels case. He'll probably make it to the end of the season but there are no guarantees in football.

Monday Night Meltdown Part II

It must be hot in the desert because the Cardinals can't keep their cool on Monday nights. Derek Anderson must be taking notes from former Cardinals coach Dennis Green because he had quite a meltdown yesterday. I guess the Cardinals are who we thought they were. Let's take a look shall we?

Week 11 Roundup

Childress Gets Canned
Earlier today the Minnesota Vikings fired Brad Childress and appointed Leslie Frazier as their interim head coach. This this isn't much of a surprise for most of us, what's surprising is that it took so long for Ziggy to fire Brad Childress. Chilly wasn't a fan favorite and didn't have the backing of his players. He should have been fired before Wade Phillips. Childress waived Randy Moss less than month after the Viks acquired him from the Patriots. On top of that he failed to notify Ziggy Wilf. This seems ludicrous to me, but Childress is gone and the Vikings season can only go up from here.

Someone needs to pull Favre next. Must I point out that Favre's magic only works every other year (2007 Packers reach the NFC Championship Game, 2008-Jets fail to make the playoffs, 2009 Vikings reach NFC Championship game, 2010 Vikings are 3-7). Paging Tavaris Jackson, Mr. Jackson?

Unstoppable Eagles?
The Eagles were able to sneak past the Giants on Sunday Night Football and while a win is a win, the Giants showed the rest of the world that Starship 7 & Crew can be beaten. Philly ran the ball well but their receivers seemed to be a little bit off.Mike Vick was forced to his right side and seemed a little flustered at times. The Giants Defense but up a great fight and Justin Tuck's forced fumble put the Giants in position to beat the Eagles. Philly's run game was too much for the G-Men in the end but this NFC North battle is not over yet. Mark December 19th on your calendars folks!

Holmes at Home
The Cardiac Jets have been keeping fans on the edge of their seats for the past three weeks. This Sunday at the Meadowlands Mr. Sanchez lead the Jets to another nail-biting victory with under a minute left on the clock. The hero of the game was former Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes. The veteran wide receiver caught a 6 yard touchdown pass from Sanchez with just 10 seconds left on the clock to end the Texans' comeback. The Jets are flying high this season and I'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of Mr. Holmes

How About Dem Falcons?
Mike Vick may be helping his team out without even realizing it. Philly is now the team to beat in the NFC. Everyone has their eyes on Vick as the Falcons continue to fly under the radar. Atlanta is 8-2 and in the perfect position to win the NFC South. If things continue to go well I could see the Falcons playing the Eagles for the NFC Championship Game.--Battle of the Birds Part II. The Eagles beat the Falcon earlier this season with an impressive 37-17 win. I would love to see Vick play his old team for a chance to go to the Super Bowl.

False Alarm
I was pretty bummed about the Saints last minute decision to rule Mr. Bush inactive for the Saints-Seahawks game. It's always nice to see such a gorgeous man on the football field but I'm sure that Mr. Bush will grace us with his presence just in time for the holiday season.

It's On Folks!

Our favorite hottie is coming back to grace us with his presence. Reggie Bush is expected to play on Sunday when the Saints play Seattle.

Wade in the Chilly Water

Who gets fired first? Wade Phillips or Brad Childress?

My bets are on Wade Phillips. I have a feeling that Jerry Jones is breaking ties with Mr. Phillips at this very moment. Only time will tell.

Update: Wade Phillips has been fired. Shocking.

The Vets

Moss Gets the Boot

Randy Moss' attitude must be pretty bad because the Viks have given him the boot. He reportedly lashed out at the restaurant owners who catered the team's post-practice meal. So was it a good idea for the struggling Viks to cut Mr. Moss? I'm somewhat on the fence with this one. I'm not surprised by Moss' behavior but the man still has something left in the tank (I'm sure Darrelle Revis can attest to that). Well, it's on to the next one for Mr. Moss. Randy won't be unemployed for too long. I'm sure some lucky team will pick him up.

Update: ESPN is reporting that the Tennessee Titans have claimed Randy Moss

Old Man Favre

I respect Favre as a quarterback but he just needs to give it up already. It may be fun and games now, but in about 2-5 years he'll need assistance to walk up the stairs. The adrenaline kicks in now but I assure you that Favre will retire in 2011, regardless of the final outcome of this season. His body just can't take anymore hits. I still don't know how Favre does it but it's all going to catch up with him. Hide your walkers, hide your pain killers because Old Man Favre is coming.

McNabb Benched

McNabb benched? Really? I'm scratching my head with this one because the Redskins are at .500, just one game behind Philly in the NFC East. They can still make the playoffs if they put in the work for the second half of the season. I really don't know what's going on and I guess a few people at Redskins camp are confused too. Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan told reporters that McNabb was warned in advanced about the possibility of being pulled from the game. This message never made it to McNabb and I'm pretty sure he's pissed about it...and so the saga continues. Let's not forget about the JaMarcus Russell tryout. Again I'm scratching my head, because JaMarcus Russell and McNabb are not on the same level by any means. McNabb will always be known as a legendary quarterback, JaMarcus Russell not so much.
