ZIP A force Bruce Gradkowski's passes lack

(Dolphins) Jaded: The Bills should be thankful that Dick Jauron got canned early enough to give them a head start in Head Coach Hunt 2010. I’m not sure what’ll be a bigger draw this summer: where Lebron, Wade, and Bosh end up or where Cowher, Shanahan, and Homgren take over. (Dolphins)Jaguars (6-4) at 49ers (4-6) Indignant: As a 49ers fan I genuinely think the entire organization needs to be thankful that the American sports mainframe has completely deleted the files containing their storied history and tradition as a winning franchise. How is the NFC West continuously spat upon and degraded ( fairly) with no one ever pointing out what a shame it is that this team isn’t competitive. It’s just as bad as when Notre Dame, or the Knicks aren’t any good oh wait.

(49ers homerism: why I will never have an undefeated week picking games) Jaded: I guess the Jaguars should be thankful that an undersized MJD has help up well in the spotlight role and Sims-Walker seems to be a legitimate deep threat to keep guys out of the box. Did I say Jags I meant Jack Del Rio…I think this season saved his job. (Jags)Panthers (4-6) at Jets (4-6) Indignant: Remember that battered girlfriend analogy I made earlier Well that is almost a better fit for these two teams and their fan bases. Every year these teams and their supporters enter the seasons teeming with optimism and hope, only to be battered down my loss of hope and interceptions galore. The QB that makes less than 10 mistakes will win this game; flips a coin: (Panthers). Jaded: The Panthers should be thankful that Bill Cowher (by all accounts) WANTS to coach there next year. The Sanchize should be thankful that while Rex Ryan is a moron, he at least has his wits enough about him to let this kid learn as it goes. Rookie QBs don’t typically get better after they get pulled. (Panthers)Redskins (3-7) at Eagles (6-4) Indignant: Eagles players and fans should be thankful that they have been one of the most consistently competitive teams over the past 10-15 years. They should also be Un-thankful that their coach doesn’t quite know the difference between a play clock a game clock and a vegetable He pays no attention to any of the above. (Eagles) Jaded: The Redskins have absolutely nothing to be thankful for. Jason Campbell has never had the same system to develop in for consecutive years throughout his career. Looks like Zorn is going bye-bye this off-season and Campbell’s bad luck will continue. Think he misses Auburn yet (Eagles)Seahawks (3-7) at Rams (1-9) Indignant: The only thing these teams would have to be thankful for would be the implosion of the stadium before halftime; ending theirs and the fans’ misery. Although after last weeks Lions-Browns game, this will probably turn out to be a down-to-the-wire barn burner with two 400 yard passers.

Me trying to figure out the league this season would be like entering Jamarcus Russell in a 3rd grade spelling bee: complete bewilderment. (Seahawks) Jaded: The Seahawks should be thankful that their schedule isn’t a little bit easier. This is a bad team and they’re costing themselves draft positions every time they play a terrible team. Is it even fair that 5 wins MIGHT put them outside the top 7 The Rams should be thankful that Carrie Prejean will be attending all of their remaining games now that she’s dating their new starting QB. Since when do backup QBs get all the best women (Rams – why not)Steelers (6-4) at Ravens (5-5) Indignant: Both of these teams should be very thankful that most of the media morons around the league continue to thrown them into their Super Bowl talks even though both of them pale in comparison to the teams they were last year Do you think they have to make Big Ben his own 20 lb. turkey on Thanksgiving (Ravens) Jaded: Ben should be thankful that the media isn’t calling him out on being the premadonna that he is. If he’s had as many concussions as he wants us to think he’s had then he should in all rights be dead or stupid…wait a minute; maybe he HAS had all of those concussions… (Steelers – going for the reverse jinx here) Patriots (7-3) at Saints (10-0)Indignant: The Saints will be thankful if they lose this game; so they won’t have to keep answering the “undefeated season” questions all year, and can focus on the remainder of their season and their inevitable matchup against Bret and the Minnesota Viagrakings. (Patriots) Jaded: The Saints are lucky that the Patriots rule the world. If the Saints lose by 50 on Monday most people will just say it was because of the Patriots and nobody goes undefeated and a loss will inevitably help them in the long run. If they beat the Pats it’ll be because the Pats blew it somehow. Face it, win or lose, one way or another, everybody will be talking about the Patriots on Tuesday. (Saints). Holla at me RAIDER NATION!It's the day after, and no one (that I've seen) is writing about the things that are on my mind so, Let's get the party started!!First I want to say that I love watching a team play a road game after a home win. This is one of those times when you really get a chance to take a look at the team. It is sort of like seeing a woman (you've just met); She looked great on date night, in the club, mixed with some Long Island Ice-Tea but, how will she look when she wakes up in the morningKeeping that in mind, I guess I would have to say that The Raiders were not looking too attractive this morning.

looked really short (in stature) on the field today! There were times when I was wondering "how can he see where he wants to throw the ball" Now I'm wondering: "Why haven't I seen any articles on Brucie G being "savior" to the franchise" (lol). I said (not that I know what I'm talking about but...) I said that B.G. is not the future of this team and that was clear in the Dallas game.I'm not knocking his performance. As a matter of fact, I believe he probably played about as well in this loss as he did in The Raiders win; One of you "stat guys" will let me know (not that I'm knocking stats or stat guys). ZIP!! A force Bruce Gradkowski's passes lack.This "zip" is what helps to make that "drive saving" first down catch possible! This is what separates that game winning touchdown from that incompletion, or that pick six! Moreover, this is life in today's N.F.L.
