I wouldn't say that my Broncos are done just yet - they still have 3 very winnable games in Arizona, Cincy & SF - but I will say I have started digging in the silverware drawer for a fork........I know the irrational temptation is to clamor for the return of Jake but this team needs Jay Cutler to play as much as he can as soon as he can.....interesting that Tatum Bell has become a real running back the last 2 weeks - only a matter of time before he breaks again.....and Tony Scheffler's time on the scout team finally paid off in the 2nd half......

Does anyone not think that the Chargers are going to win the SuperDuperBowl ? Should be fun to watch them run it up on KC next week too......LT will get another 3 TD's easily........

The Colts are exposed as the pretender that they are - no NFL team can expect to be taken seriously if they give up 375 yards on the ground - not even a bad college team like Army gives up that much per week - great week to have Maurice Jones-Drew in your fantasy line-up and yes, I did......

Cincy has it's destiny in it's own hands but they have to beat an embarrassed Colts team first and then they have to go beat Denver in Denver - which hasn't been that hard this year - Ocho Cinco & Who'syourmamma make a nasty WR tandem and as long as players keep getting arrested, the Bengals keep winning.........Oakland is just plain sorry and should have just saved everyone the trouble yesterday and conceded to the bengals before the opening kickoff.........

Did anyone else feel a warm feeling in the pit of their football bellies as we watched Drew Brees light up the cowpokies like a Bourbon Street Bum on a half smoked butt.......Reggie Bush has made his opponents the last 2 weeks look like Fresno State.....don't see how they don't get to the Conference Championship game if they can get the home Dome advantage - America wants to see them win.......

speaking of Rookies who are starting to make a major difference, Vince Young went into Houston yesterday and left with an absolutely spectacular TD run to win the game in OT - I would love to see the replay and check to see if he either slipped Mario Williams or juked him out of his jock.....I love Gary Kubiak but his ownership really slipped him a raw deal with that first round debacle at the draft last year.......the rest of the AFC better hope that the wild card slots don't slip to 9-7 because the Titans are playing some mighty scary ball right about now........

the less said about the NY Giants the better........Chris Weinke threw 61 times ? Has his arm fallen off yet today ?.....Carolina was a pre-season super bowl pick (probably for me) and now they look like picked over trash - even Superman Steve Smith can't save them from golf in early January......

How are the Eagles still a wild card contender ? Oh yeah, the NFC stinks - that's how........

Miami shuts out the Pats as Tom Brady continues his South Beach futility - rumor has it that he is visited by the ghost of Tara Reid every time he plays there - must be true because he plays like he has been out all night with a drunken chick with lopsided implants........watching the Saints game last night you just know Nick Saban was still loving that Daunte over Drew signing from this past offseason.......

Vikings don't seem to be missing Daunte but then they did play the Lions.....

Seattle proved again yesterday why they are not a SuperDuperBowl contender in their loss to Arizona - obviously Denny Green knew exactly who they were too - not often you can say that about the only man that can almost make Art Shell look good by comparison.......

Brett Favre is 7 TD's away from Dan Marino - does anyone but Peter King care ??????

The J-E-T-SJETSJETSJETS blew a great chance yesterday to put the pressure on the Pats in the AFC Least - instead they let a sick Willis McGahee vomit all over them again - this was nowhere near the same team that killed on the frozen tundra - this team just looked more like roadkill.....

Baltimore, based on recent history, should have been roadkill in KC since the Chiefs (worst fans in the league - at least from this Broncos fan perspective) had won 18 straight at home in December - but then the Chiefs had never had Herm Edwards as their coach in KC in December before......Baltimore's record may get them home field but they have no chance to get to Miami in February.....I am still having trouble with SI for anointing Ray Lewis as "God's Linebacker" on a recent cover........

so which game did I miss ? Oh yeah, Atlanta beat Tampa - I think ESPN gave that game about the same amount of coverage that I just did.....

Chicago is at St. Louis tonight and I will be watch either "How I met your mother" & "Two and a Half Men" or the live action version "The Year without a Santa Clause" - which looks like a typical hollywood clusterfrick - rather than watching Rex Grossman try to give away the game to the Lambs.........Chicago 37 St. Louis 13

quietly making noise.....swampy abides........
