Must give these guys mad credit. They pulled off back to back road wins, scoring 30 or more in both games and taking the lead in the final 2 minutes. If that wasn't amazing enough, Da' Bears put a lickin' on Carolina IN Carolina. The Bears are starting to seem reminiscent of the Ravens team from a couple years ago...doin' it with D. They've allowed a league low 110 points this year. Can you say 8 count 'em 8 sacks on the day? Add 2 ints by that guy who ran back the missed FG for a TD last week, and you got yourselves a bitch slap. Steve Smith did have a huge day with 169 yards but ZERO TDs. As of now my two bag teams are #1 and #3 in total defense while Chicago leads the league in scoring defense allowing an average of 11 points a game and a measly 9 total TDs.

As the season winds down, here are the current standings:
Randie 14-6
Colin 9-11
Shawn 6-14
Lenny 5-15

I don't know what my magic number is. I'll have to ask F Shawn to plug in his abacus for me. I'm leading the league in PF - 375 and PA - 293. By comparison, Shawn's teams have combined to give up 519 points! How he isn't bag bound is beyond me. This weekend will be huge as BOTH Lenny's and Shawn's bag teams play each other. Fucking crazy right? The Fish travel to Oakland. Miami's on a little 3 game losing streak and may still be without QB sensation Gus Frerotte. Oakland should score at will here. God I'd love to be sitting with LDog this Sunday. Torn between his pride and his desire not to be sitting in his own ball sweat this summer. Tennessee hosts San Fran who are on 5 and 3 game losing streaks respectively. Lenny needs the sweep to get out of hefty peril while a FShawn sweep would crush all hopes. With a game in hand, a split is all Francis really needs.

The LT show rolls into DC this weekend so the Bolts should put a good licking on the Skins' 14th ranked run D. Cleveland's in a little trouble as Minnesota's on a three game winning streak. See what a little nautical punani will do for team morale!

Chicago travels to Tampa this weekend so I'm guaranteed a split ;(

Here's my picks for next year's bag lineup. Some are more obvious than others:

AFC East
NY Jets - I've already said my peace about this awful team. I just hope I don't get them. Herm's future is uncertain (thank god).

AFC North
Cleveland Browns - Baltimore should get a few more wins this year. This would make it back to back to back for the Browns and make them eligible for the GB Ring of Shame. Induction ceremony to be held at the Payoff 2006.

AFC South
Houston Texans - This one is pretty obvious. Welcome back! They had a huge letdown this year even though they have been showing signs of improvement.

AFC West
Oakland Raiders - As I expected, their schedule got the best of them this year. Couple that with playing in a really tough division and it's ba ba bag-age for the silver and black.

NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles - They're only a game behind the Skins but no Donovan and games against Seattle, the Giants and Washington will make them the number one overall pick next year.

NFC North
Green Bay Packers - I think Murphy's Law anally raped the pack fans this year. They've had more runners than Pamplona. Farve's future is uncertain but don't they say that every year?

NFC South
New Orleans - Just the worst luck imaginable. Hard to give these guys too much shit. They lost their all pro running back early on and still don't know where they're playing next year.

NFC West
San Francisco - Just like the Browns, they're eligible for the Ring but not until 2007.

Have a Great Thanksgiving everyone.
