Sunday posts, pt. one

1:20-Early games went weirdly. 3-4-1 overall, Indy-Jacksonville pushing. A bunch of late comebacks. I don't know what happened in the Chicago game, but it ended up as the worst possible score for me, 19-16 Chicago. Chicago misses the cover by a half point, and they go over by a half point. Absolutely excruciating. Carolina couldn't cover, either, but won on a last second field goal. I hate the Dolphins. Cincy came through, though, and so did Washington and Green Bay. There should be a special place in hell for favorites who don't cover, but still win the game after playing terribly.

12:52-Jacksonville's cut the lead to 7. I'm going to pissed if this ends up a push. Minnesota's up four, one minute to go. I can't believe that one. I hit the under, though. Green Bay up 31-24. Tampa up 24-23. Washington 31-15. Jets up 28-20. How the fuck do you get 490 yards of offense and only score 20 points? This kind of shit can only happen to Buffalo. Miami up 13-10 against Tennessee. Cincinnati up 8, less than a minute to go. Pittsburgh with the ball and driving.

12:15-Pittsburgh's gone up 17-14 after a big interception throw by Carson Palmer. Indy's holding their 7 point lead. A suddenly rejuvenated Tampa Bay has gone up 21-20. Jets up 21-10 in a game they have no business winning.

11:43-Indy takes the ball to start the second half and marches down the field for a touchdown. Impressive half-time adjustments. Pittsburgh takes the ball and drives for a field goal, 14-10. Mark Brunell is currently 20-20 against Houston. I think I could throw for 250 yards and a couple TD's against them, giving a proper o-line.

11:20-Most games approaching half-time or already there. Cincinnati adds another TD to go up 14-7, with Roethlisberger having a rough half: 5/12, 1 INT. No one's playing defense in the Detroit game, whatsoever. Almost all of Green Bay's offense is through the air, as I predicted. Buffalo has dominated the Jets, but are somehow only up three points with the Jets in the red zone. I have no clue how that is happening. Jacksonville-Indy are tied, but Jacksonville is dominating. Indy can't pass and can't run, and Jacksonville is running all over them on offense. Houston might have the worst defense ever. Washington has 299 yards of offense. I think they're enjoying having a healthy Clinton Portis. The resurrected corpse of Mark Brunell is 14/14 for 191 yards. Maybe Mario Williams can share some of his potential with the rest of the team. Chris Simms had another terrible half, 5/13 with a pick. Too bad their back-up is Bruce Gradkowski. Carolina's up 20-7, Steve Smith's played well, and there's been a huge positive effect on their other receivers and running game. Minnesota's up 6-3 on Chicago, and looking pretty good. Chicago is also shooting themselves in the foot with 8 penalties and a Rex Grossman pick. It's only 7-3, but Tennessee is killing Miami. This is sad.

10:59-Indy and Cincy have both tied it up. Peyton Manning somehow has only 16 yard passing with 5:30 to go till the half. Green Bay is up three while simultaneously making Jon Kitna look like the second coming. Miami is losing to Tennessee, 7-3. Wow. Jets and Bills are tied. Washington's up a touchdown, Vikes-Bears are tied 3-3. Carolina up 17-7. The Dolphins have gone from playoff team to gun-in-the-mouth depressing in three weeks flat.

10:34-Jags-Colts and Steelers-Bengals at the end of the first quarter, Jags and Steelers both up a touchdown. Both games are really similar; Jags and Steelers have both had the ball almost the entire first quarter, Colts and Bengals haven't been able to do anything when they have the ball. Buffalo and Green Bay both up a touchdown, Chicago-Minnesota and Washington-Houston are tied, Miami's up three, and Carolina's up ten.
