Week 6 is in the books, and what an interesting week it was! The NFC looks positively stellar with seven teams above .500 while the AFC looks positively average with only two. The Broncos had an historic comeback win over the Chargers, and some key injuries may have ended one team’s playoff hopes. We have a lot to talk about this week so let’s dive right in, shall we?

Week 5 has come and gone and we are reaching the dog days of the NFL. The good teams start to separate themselves from the crappy teams. We find out which playoff contenders have become playoff pretenders. At least one team will have a train wreck of a meltdown, and pretty soon we can expect the quarterback carousel to start as a few teams on the edge of playoff contention desperately hope for a spark.

Dear Andrew Luck,
You don’t know me, but I know you. As a matter of fact, I know more about you than is probably healthy or not weird, considering we’ve never met, nor are likely to.
Tomorrow night, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will go on stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, and a member of the Indianapolis Colts organization will hand him a card with your name on it. He will stand before God and the World and announce that with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select Andrew Luck, Quarterback, Stanford University.
Today is America’s greatest day of the year. This year’s game pits the New York Giants against the New England Patriots. It should be a good game, with plenty of opportunities for trash talk. For a summary of the contest please see Ross’ excellent preview or Marty’s hater’s guide. Continue reading
All right Jackasses. Here’s your football post. Continue reading
There is a saying in football: Offense sells tickets but defense wins championships. In the divisional round, two predominantly defensive teams overcame some high-powered offenses. The Giants went into Lambeau and dominated the Packers. The Niners beat the Saints in a 4th quarter shootout (wait what?). The Patriots handed the Broncos their asses in a blowout and the Ravens escaped with a victory over a very game (but inexperienced) Texans team. Continue reading
I’ll be brief since Houston is already blowing it against Baltimore. Later tonight, the Giants will probably break my heart. Continue reading
It is time for the Rapture my friends. Huddle close with your loved ones for the day of judgement has arrived and the mighty Timothy Tebow will rise up, throw inaccurate short passes, one decent long pass, run around and induce erotic asphyxiation among older white males. There is no hope, do not fall prey to false idols such as the mumbling coach with a bad haircut and a fondness for married women and the well-coiffed quarterback from the England of New. Their wickedness in the Tuck Rule Game must be avenged. Continue reading
The Wild Card round has come and gone and as I correctly predicted it was pretty blah, with the exception of one game. The Giants and Texans spanked the Falcons and Bengals respectively. The Broncos won in the shortest overtime ever over a battered Steelers team, and the Saints decided to run up the score on the Lions (more on this later). Coming up in the divisional round, we have several rematches from the regular season and one that was played during the preseason that even has a bit of a story line. Let’s just dive right in to each game: Continue reading
It’s playoff time. Sadly, this year the first round looks pretty bland with very little chance at any upsets (although the Seahawks proved that anything can happen in the playoffs). None of the games are true rivalry games and some of these teams are so devastated by injuries they are starting guys who were sitting on the couch drinking beer 3 months ago, so let’s dive right in to round 1 of the NFL playoffs: Continue reading
