-It's far past time to pile on the pitiful Ravens and the complete freefall they are in. Getting hammered by a Super Bowl caliber team like the Steelers on the road is one thing, getting beat by the lowly and struggling Bengals at home is quite another. Ray Lewis and the game were quick to pop off with quotes ringing with the wails of aging and hurt male pride after last week... I wonder what kind of empty boasts we will hear out of Baltimore this week. 

-Grossman replaces Griese... again... seriously? At this point, wouldn't the Bears just be better off holding open tryouts for QB walk ons in the windy city? It's clear that neither one of these guys can get the job done, and when they do it's sheer "close the eyes and wing it" pure-luck plays. This quarterback debacle has gone far beyond the entertaining joke it once was. It has now crossed into a sad fiasco that is obviously killing that very talented team. Of course, the massive bust of Cedric Benson isn't helping matters either...

-No TD celebrations from TO? What is the NFL world coming to? If I can't get my childish, attention-seeking antics from Mr. Owens, where exactly am I going to go? Oh, wait, never mind... there are about a million love-starved, egotistical wide receivers in the NFL that will gladly fill that role. Perhaps we might be lucky... perhaps if even Owens himself is eschewing the tired and stale touchdown celebrations it means that the trend is dead and over in the NFL. We can only hope.

-Farve passes 60,000 yards... is this the same guy that suited up last season? For that matter, is this the same Packers team that suited up last season? Farve is on pace for a magical, storybook season to end his career. Yes, that's right... it's a typical fairytale story where the aging gunslinger overcomes all odds, gets to the Super Bowl solely on the strength of his arm and guile and then gets annihilated by the Patroits by 50 points in the big game.

-Adrian Peterson came back to earth and proved he was human, at least for one week. Single season rushing record likely gone, but still setting the league on fire. Of course, the early knock on him in the draft was that he wouldn't be able to stay healthy. For his and the Viking's sake, let's hope this isn't the beginning of proving that prediction true.

-Vinatieri misses a 21 yard field goal to win a game. I had to rewind it and watch it a dozen times just to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. How does a kicker of his caliber miss a 21 yard game winner? Someday, a biography will be written for Peyton Manning and it will be titled "Peyton Manning and the kickers who tortured him."
