Here it is, Tuesday.. and I'm still heartbroken about my Ravens loss to the Steelers. I know what you all are thinking... that I need to get over it and move on. And I want to. But Sunday's game was a reflection of this entire season for my squad. They have constantly beat themselves and has given games away. I don't think I've ever felt such heartache in one season from an above .500 team, EVER! I could go on and on, but I already expressed my feelings yesterday on Gridiron Gals. Check it out.

-The saying, "It's not how you start, but how you finish" is a tried and true statement in the NFL. Two of the hottest teams at the beginning of the season in New Orleans and Vikings, have cooled off tremendously in the past few weeks. The Saints have lost two games in a row, to the Cowboys and the lowly Bucs. The Vikings have lost for the 3rd time in 4 games and lost last night to the Bad News Bears. I know both teams lost to division rivals this weekend. But let's be real here. They both have the personnel to blow them out of the water. The Bears and Bucs had a combined 7 wins going into their games with the potential #1 and #2 seeds. My, have times changed.

*extra point* I don't know if my new country bumpkin, Philip Rivers, has my nose wide open or what. But this season has been a total 180 for my feelings towards Brett Favre. Three years ago, I was still one of the biggest Brett Favre apologists I knew. I have his biography and DVD for crying out loud. But watching last night's game, I wanted to see him lose, and I have no idea why the haterism is so strong.

Maybe it's because Favre has been a true diva since he "retired" from Green Bay and wanted to come back, or him being able to show up on rosters whenever he wants. But he irks me now. I'm glad crybaby Cutler beat the Vikings last night. There, I said it! Who gon' check me, boo?!

-Funniest Play Of The Week: By far Saints owner Tom Benson's false celebration then reaction to the missed FG in the Bucs-Saints game. Care of BSO, this vid is hilarious. To see the 5 different degrees of his face/body language is hilarious


-WTF Play Of The Week: The entire Cowboys/Redskins game. I love football, I do. But watching people get beat down is not fun. By halftime I turned my attention to Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Yeah, that's how bored I became.


- Am I the only person that wonders what the Panthers would be like had Matt Moore been put in earlier as the QB??? They have played very aspiring football since he's been behind center. But the politics of the NFL wouldn't allow Moore to come in sooner because of Delhomme's new contract extension. Amazing.

-While I understand why Colts coach Jim Caldwell took his starters out with the game in reach, I think most people think that was the worst move possible. Let's look at the Colts previous playoff history. Every time they have rested players before the end of the season and had a first round bye, they have lost in the playoffs. The one time the Colts won the Superbowl, they played the entire season and also had to play during wild card weekend. That kept the momentum going for this team to finally hoist a Lombardi trophy. For the players to get almost 3 weeks of rest is ridiculous. No matter what people say, it does slow momentum and can create timing issues with the offense. Peyton Manning looked pissed during the post game conference and I don't blame him. Play for a chance at history. Hell, play for a chance to shut Mercury Morris the hell up. But now we have to see Morris for yet another year with the same antics. Thanks Caldwell, thanks for nothing!

*extra point* Did anyone else feel sorry for backup QB Curtis Painter? I wanted to give his baby face a hug after the game. He was thrown to the wolves against a very good Jets D.


-Shout out to the Broncos, Dolphins, Jags and Titans for losing this weekend to keep the Ravens in a position of "win it and in it" playoff scenario.

-What happened to the Giants? And what happened to the guys that were 6-0??? Man it got ugly in the Meadowlands quick.

-I think Philly and San Diego are playing some of the best football right now. I wouldn't be surprised if one, or both of these teams could be in Miami come February 7th representing their respected conferences.

*extra point* Philip Rivers for MVP!
