My Bengals are having a great year with only two losses, but one of those losses was to the Texans who aren't that great this year.

We gave them the ball on 5 turnovers.
A good to great team can have a bad (horrible?) day.
It still counts and goes into the forever stats.

We play Michigan in the Cotton Bowl.
ROLL TIDE!

I think they said you have to go back to 1993 for the last time a teams scored 5 touchdowns in a row against the Patriots with nothing scored by the Pats.

I wish I could say it was our brilliant offense but let's face it - Bradford is a has-been. But our defense and special teams rocks. If we had a great QB, the Eagles would be unstoppable.

They looked disorganized and out of synch yesterday.There was also some questionable play calling. Why they were so conservative at the end of the 1st half is beyond me. And the punt kick was stupid at best.

Howerver, considering the key players they've had to sideline I'm amazed they have an enviable 10-2 record.

Key Players Out
Justin Coleman
Dominique Easley
Julian Edelman
Rob Gronkowski
Patrick Chung
Jamie Collins
Dont'a Hightower

all I know is Brady still got me 40+ points in one of my fantasy leagues.

In fact, getting me points and losing makes it a little more fun.

Not that I'm happy the Iggles won anything but it's not like Dallas would have taken advantage if Philly lost. The best thing we can do is get a good QB in the draft and hope he gets a good training year or two in while Romo winds up his career.

I remember one time in the 90s the Eagles ended the season 11-5 and had the best defense in the league (Reggie White, Jerome Brown) and we still didn't make the playoffs.

We are so horrible this year, it's time for the bags over our heads. The Houston Texans mauled us.

Sadder than hell.
