Thanks For Nothing - Week 12 Roundup

The schedule was a little off this week as we had 3 Thursday games (if you want to call them that) on Thanksgiving, making for a short slate on Sunday. The game-selection was nothing to plan a wedding around (because you shouldn't be getting married in the fall anyway) but there were some points-worthy performances...

Week 12

-1 New York Jets via Sliding Lessons - Are you kidding me? Do you really need to get the manager of the New York Yankees to teach your QB how to slide? Thousands of little league coaches are able to teach this to 7 year olds on a weekly basis. I don't think we had to consult Joe Girardi here...

-1 Houston Texans via Blowing It...Again... - Jumping out 17-0 lead, Texans fans had to be thinking, "sure, the Colts are 14-1 all-time against us, but this is our day." Wrong...

+1 New Orleans Saints via More Domination - It was almost scary how easy the Saints made it look this week. Reminds me of me in my prime on the Madden sticks...

+2 Tennessee Titans via The Drive - The Matt Leinart/Rose Bowl jokes have all been made, but seriously, you know his heart sank a little when the realization hit him that his first NFL win in the last two years was contingent on his defense stopping Vince Young. The drive itself was pretty incredible, coming down to a 4th and goal TD. Still, Jeff Fisher better hope this isn't too little too late this season or he's going to have to answer why Vince Young sat on the bench while the Titans offense couldn't score in its first 6 games.

-2 Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, and New York Giants for ruining Thanksgiving - The pathetic efforts of these 3 teams made football almost unwatchable on Thanksgiving, which should really be punishable within the legal system of this country.
