monday morning bonerjam express

So Cutler found out that Hester and Bennett (who the fuck is Earl Bennett?) are not Marshall and Royal. And Marshall and Royal found out that Orton is not Cutler. Funny thing about that trade. Denver used to have a passing game, Chicago not so much. Swap QB's, and neither one has one anymore.

Ravens
Passing yards: 303
Rushing yards: 198
1st downs: 32
3rd down conversion: 58%

Chiefs
Passing yards: 159
Rushing yards: 29
1st downs: 11
3rd down conversion: 20%

Those are some of the worst stats I've ever seen. Yet by beating them on turnovers and penalties, with 2:14 to go in the 4th quarter, it's a tie game and the Ravens have a 3rd and 8 from the KC 31. Their kicker already missed one from the 23 yard line. The were stupidly close to winning a game they were effectively dominated in. And yet they still couldn't cover the spread because of a garbage time touchdown after the Chiefs couldn't convert on a 4th down.

Back to the Broncos. That touchdown ranks up there with some of the best highlights for Hail Marys, too bad it was in a 7-6 Bengals/Broncos game. If the Broncos hadn't already been covering the spread, would have been one of the flukiest gambling swings ever.

After Delhomme's terrible playoff game where he committed 57 turnovers, everyone jumped off the Panthers this year. And then yesterday I remembered they were 8-0 at home last year. Could Delhomme just be bad in the playoffs? Perhaps they would regain their 08 form? Um...no.

I started Lance Moore because he was going against the Lions and I figured Brees would get 4 TDs. He got 6. But none for Moore. Come on!

The Jets won 24-7. The Texans only points? A pick-six. Seriously, Houston offense...what happened?
