Here are a few game recaps.-The New York Jets help to keep the dream alive by beating the Miami Dolphins 40-13. The Dolphins are now winless at 0-12. I'm finding that I only want to watch Dolphin games from here on out, the futility is breathtaking.
-Eagles Quarteback AJ Feeley came scorching back to earth, going 19-42 with 4 picks in a 28-24 loss to the Seahawks. With this loss the impending QB controversy in Philly cooled off a ton, along with a lot of hope for a playoff birth in the log jam that is the NFC playoff picture, at 5-7. The Seahawks are 8-4 sitting atop the NFC West.
-Eli Manning was able to shake-off 114 minutes of horrendous play (beginning in his 4 INT stinker against Minnesota) to bring the Giants back to win it on the road in Chicago 21-16, by leading two 4th quarter TD drives. All but 3 of the Bears points were off of turnovers. We can sit here and pick Manning apart, but he did bring the NYG back to win and an 8-4 record. Rex Grossman must already be thinking about his New Years plans because he threw the most meaningless 296 yards ever. The Bears, at 5-7, might have just said good-bye to the playoffs.
-In the first game since the death of Sean Taylor, the Washington Redskins were beaten on a last second FG by the Buffalo Bills 17-16. The Redskins came out playing the first snap on defense with 10 men, the Safety spot was empty in honor of Taylor. I think this tragedy hit the Skins harder than anybody could really imagine. You would have thought they would have came out and rolled over the Bills (6-6), (think Tiki Barbers 200 yard game a few seasons back when the Giants owner passed away). The final 4 games might be pretty bleak for the 5-7 Redskins.
-With 17 seconds left, QB Luke McCown led the Buccaneers to a game winning TD, which gave the Bucs a 27-23 win over the New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay is 8-4 and is sitting comfortably on top of the NFC South. The Saints, who were the toast of last season, fell to 5-7 and after appearing in the NFC Championship game last season are mostly going to be sitting the playoffs out this time around.
