Week 11 Wrap; What We Know

Week 11 brought us some wacky stuff. For starters, the Bengals and the Eagles tied. That's right, the Eagles(a good team), and the Bengals('nuff said). It could have been worse for the Eagles. They could have lost, like the Giants did on that Monday night to the Browns.

Speaking of the Browns and Monday night, they remained undefeated on Monday night after defeating Buffalo. It might not be a bad investment for them to pay off the NFL scheduling committee to let them play all their games on Monday night in 2009, including all playoff games.

For the first time in NFL history, there was an 11-10 final, as the Steelers topped the fading Chargers. However, somebody somewhere is all up in arms that the touchdown Pittsburgh scored at the end didn't count. People, get over it. The game was over. If the NFL is going to start investigating every incorrect call, maybe they should watch the video of the Falcons-Eagles game from earlier this year, when a so-called "muffed punt" may have cost the Falcons the game.

Speaking of the Falcons, they will be kicking themselves come January if they don't make the playoffs. All season, they had not lost one game that they should have won, then, along came Sunday. There is no reason that the Falcons should have lost that game. Granted, Denver is a good team, but the Falcons are better in my opinion. They'll have to make up for that Sunday, when they face the Panthers.

And finally, the Dolphins, Packers, Browns, and Colts are on NFL's preverbial "Up-Escalator", while the Bills, Bears, Redskins, and Chargers are all moving down. These teams will have to pick it up if they are to make the playoffs.
