| Team | TW | LW | ||
 |
1 | 2 | Much like the Highlander, two men enter, one man leaves…and it’s the Colts. | |
 |
2 | 1 | Finally lost a close game. Better now than in the playoffs. | |
 |
3 | 3 | How will the clash between Brett Favre and Brad Childress affect the Vikes in the postseason? | |
 |
4 | 4 | Phillip Rivers is so wise. He’s like a miniature Buddha covered in hair. | |
 |
5 | 5 | The Eagles gave Mike Vick an award for courage. Is it opposite day? Is this bizarre world? What’s next, Tiger Woods getting an award for ethics? | |
 |
6 | 6 | Tully Banta-Cain does not like Buffalo Bills quarterbacks. | |
 |
7 | 9 | It looks like the Patriots will have an easier time winning the AFC East than we originally thought. | |
 |
8 | 7 | As much as Chad Ochocino is a goof ball, it was nice to see him show some heartfelt emotions about the loss of his team mate and friend Chris Henry. | |
 |
9 | 8 | DeMarcus Ware must have had the Saints on his naughty list because instead of a partridge in a pear tree, he sacked Drew Brees twice and forced two fumbles. | |
 |
10 | 11 | The Cards won’t surprise anyone in the playoffs this year. | |
 |
11 | 10 | How do the Broncos expect us to believe they are any good when they lose to the Raiders? | |
 |
12 | 12 | The G-men finally won a game that they were supposed to win, but is it too little too late? | |
 |
13 | 16 | The Ravens are 8-6? I thought they were out of it a long time ago. | |
 |
14 | 13 | Fred Jackson thinks the Jags are L.A. bound. What do you think? | |
 |
15 | 17 | Holy last second touchdown to win the game and (barely) keep your team in the playoff hunt Batman. | |
 |
16 | 14 | How come more people don’t make jokes about how Bill Parcell’s nickname is Tuna. | |
 |
17 | 15 | The Jets have scored 60 more point than they’ve given up and have one of the best defensive units in the NFL, but they aren’t going to make the playoffs. | |
 |
18 | 18 | I don’t believe that Chris Johnson will break the NFL rushing record. I mean, he only ran for 104 yards last week. It’s like he’s not even trying. For shame! | |
 |
19 | 19 | Osburn nickname of the week: Todd “Troy” McClure. | |
 |
20 | 20 | I think it’s time to change the team name to the Hexans because there is some kind of voodoo curse on this team. | |
 |
21 | 21 | Michael Crabtree hasn’t been as great as he was touted, but he’s doing pretty well for someone who had to learn the offense halfway through the season. | |
 |
22 | 23 | Matt Moore is better than Jake Delhomme. | |
 |
23 | 22 | Jay Cutler had a QB rating of 7.9 on Sunday. Before that, I didn’t even know they went that low. | |
 |
24 | 24 | I at least thought the Seahawks were better than the Bucs, but I guess my rankings are worthless now. | |
 |
25 | 25 | Bills fans, this weekend should signify a new area in Orchard Park. It will forever be known as the Brohm era. | |
 |
26 | 26 | Dear Santa, Bring Tommy Kelly a belt so his pants don’t ever fall down again on national television. | |
 |
27 | 27 | Who designed that trick play the ‘Skins ran right before halftime, Evil Knievel? | |
 |
28 | 30 | You heard it here first; Josh Cribbs is the greatest kick returner in NFL history. Take that, Devin Hester! | |
 |
29 | 28 | Best NFL related headline ever: “Breaking news: Tackling abolished in Kansas City!” | |
 |
30 | 29 | “Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt”. Kurt Vonnegut may have been talking about something else, but he should have been talking about the feeling the Lions players will have when this season is finally over. | |
 |
31 | 32 | The Buccaneers somehow won again and just might not finish in last place in the rankings. | |
 |
32 | 31 | Steven Jackson is still the only reason to watch the Rams. |
