Week 11 Write-Up

Sorry this write-up is late.  With the Eagles and Bengals still tied at 13-13, I thought week 11 wasn't over yet.  Last night Donovan McNabb called me to explain that after studying the NFL rulebook for four days and then seeing Cincinnati playing the Steelers last night on television, he now understands that his game is really over and it actually did finish in a tie.

Current Standings

Ryan                11-8-1

Jason                11-9

Randie              9-11

Bag-Boy          4-16

How the hell did I win the write-up this week? 

Miami needed a last-minute field goal *at home* to beat the struggling Raiders and the Bears got pounded like a one-legged whore in Green Bay, 37-3.  And I ended up with the best record?  Yes, thanks to the Eagles who found another way to, uh, not win a game in Cincinnati.  Highlights included 21 punts, 45 incomplete passes, 10 sacks, 3 interceptions and 4 fumbles.   If this was the game in your local market, you essentially watched a 3-hour commercial for DirecTV and the NFL package.  I think I would have rather been watching this guy's DVD all afternoon.

You should check out the trailer.  I'm seriously going to get this for someone for Christmas.  I just haven't figured out who it is yet.

This week's highlighted games include a good bag matchup between Ryan's Eagles and Randie's Ravens.  Randie needs this game to get back in the hunt for first place.  He also needs Baltimore to remember it has a good run defense.  Ryan needs Andy Reid to stop blowing his time-outs on stupid challenges.  Somewhere there is a stat on this and I would be shocked he wasn't in the NFL lead.  It would also help if he got a bit more creative with the playcalling.  Look, someone found their play chart from last week!

I figure I will go at least 1-1 this week since the Bears are essentially playing a team scrimmage against Lenny's Rams. So after somehow gaining a half a game on first place and distancing myself a bit from 3^rd and 4^th, I continue my drive to the championship.  But after Week 11, I'm just not exactly filled with the same confidence and I'll a little worried about who is behind the wheel.
