We put week 13 to bed last night. There were a few good games, and a lot of blowouts. This week the Chargers show up, the Bengals blow up, the Cowboys screw up, and the Lions need to grow up. Here we go.

Week 13 Power Rankings:

32. Indianapolis Colts-Orlovsky to Garcon is a great combo in the 4th quarter, down a lot.
31. St Louis Rams-And I was so sure AJ Feely would dominate.
30. Jacksonville Jaguars-Maurice Jones-Drew should sue the Jaguars franchise for wasting his career.
29. Cleveland Browns-Ray Rice ran up their backs, performed a cha-cha on their faces, then ran down the other said.
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Well, if you're going to suck, you might as well suck enough for somebody to break a record on you.
27. Minnesota Vikings-Now they have the notoriety of actually letting Tebow look good on them.
26. Kansas City Chiefs-Good thing they were playing Caleb Hanie.
25. Washington Redskins-Remember that 3-1 start? Yeah, me either.
24. Philadelphia Eagles-The Eagles WISH they had somebody at QB with Caleb Hanie's decision making abilities.
23. Buffalo Bills-If Chris Johnson is Michael Jordan, then the Bills must be the Jazz, although the Jazz were actually good.
22. Miami Dolphins-Am I the only one who called this game the battle of the Bush's?? Reggie won I guess.
21. Arizona Cardinals-Don't look now, but they have 5 wins, should have beaten the Ravens, and 3 of their other losses are by 4 or less points.
20. Carolina Panthers-Newton may have clinched the ROY award in this one.
19. Seattle Seahawks-Marshawn Lynch put his stamp on this game and his 1st TD was both an ode to his strength and an idictment on the Eagles D.
18. Chicago Bears-I can't imagine how this team is going to win a game with Cutler and Forte both out.
17. San Diego Chargers-Philip Rivers finally decided to play, although it was against a Jaguars team with its 12th string CB on the field.
16. New York Giants-Played the Packers well, but letting the Packers drive the whole field in 50 seconds probably wasn't a good idea.
15. Dallas Cowboys-Let's see, inexplicable non-use of timeout, not trying to advance the ball for a better FG attempt, even more inexplicable USE of a timeout..is Norv Turner coaching here too?
15. Cincinnati Bengals-How can a team be so flat against their biggest rival. Who do they think they are? The Sooners?
15. Oakland Raiders-At the unfair disadvantage of having Tebow praying against you.
15. Denver Broncos-The Broncos season might single-handedly eliminate athiesm.
15. Atlanta Falcons-Michael Turner only getting 14 carries is a travesty.
15. Tennessee Titans-I don't remember Michael Jordan every sucking for half a season.
15. Detroit Lions-What's with the dumb penalties. Is Ric Flair on the coaching staff?
15. New York Jets-Pulled away late, but look no more like a playoff team than anybody else.
(Yes I know they are all numbered 15. They all look like the same team to me. If any of those teams played any other of those teams, Vegas should refuse to set a line.)
7. Houston Texans-Just keep winning. Who needs a QB with that backfield?
6. Pittsburgh Steelers-Blew out a divisional rival. Can't beat that.
5. San Francisco 49ers-Congrats Frank Gore-best RB in Niners history?
4. New England Patriots-Rob Gronkowski does it all. Who needs a defense?
3. Baltimore Ravens-Rice went berzerk. Ricky was good. I think I had 50 yard rushing in the game.
2. New Orleans Saints-Just unbeatable at home.
1. Green Bay Packers-How ridiculous is it that Rodgers had a QB rating of 106 and it was a down game for him.

MVPs of the Week:

Philip Rivers-Finally on this side of things. Took advantage of a weak Jaguar secondary.
Ray Rice-If you rush for 200 yards, you did pretty good.
Rob Gronkowski-Now has more receiving TDs than Calvin Johnson.
Marshawn Lynch-Just ran over (literally) the Eagles defense.

Goats of the Week:

Vince Young-Just some awful throws and decisions.
Dallas team-Garrett, Romo, Witten, somebody anybody, for the love of God call a timeout when you have 2 with less than 30 seconds.
Lions self-control-Its a team of idiots. Stomping opponents, shoving officials, offensive PI calls negating big plays. Is it Schwartz?
Jaguars secondary-Rivers was dropping bombs on them all day long.

Random Thoughts:

1. Are the Bears going to keep rolling with Hanie with the playoffs on the line?
2. If Chris Johnson is back, the Titans are probably the favorite for that last playoff spot.
3. The Bengals special teams was epically bad with a blocked FG, a fumbled punt, and a punt returned for a TD against them.
4. I didn't watch the Chiefs/Bears game, but if I had, I would have gouged out my eyes.
5. Are the Bucs so stupid that they didn't expect Cam to run it from a yard out? Or do they suck bad enough that they knew it was coming, but couldn't stop it anyway.
6. Don't punt the ball to Hester, don't leave Calvin Johnson in 1-on-1 coverage, and for the love of Mike, don't leave Tebow time at the end of the game.
7. TIMEOUT!! See how easy that is.

There's no excuse for having us behind all those teams we're still ahead of.

Yes. All of those teams are basically the same. Win some games, look inconsistent, make stupid plays, lose randomly.

LOL...no. Not even close. I'd go Dallas or NYJ. Our boys, thankfully, play in the crappy AFC.

Denver will get killed by NE and lose to SD by a wide margin.

I don't get the "AFC is weak this year" mindset. There are 9 teams in the AFC over .500 compared to 7 teams in the NFC. Head-to-head records are almost identical, with the AFC with a slight edge over the NFC at 24-22. If anything, I'd say this year the AFC and NFC are as close as they have been in years.

And 3 of them are in the North.

The Chargers are historically good in December. They kicked the living shit out of Jacksonville.

The statistics say 10 wins and in and that's how I'm gonna view this season for my team. 10 wins and we're in. Tebow isn't Christ. They'll lose.

They should lose against New England. It should be a repeat of the Detroit game. Not that New England's defense is all that great, but with good solid play and coaching from New England they will jump ahead so that any idea of last minute magic making a difference in the game will be moot. Good teams find a way to win.

or.. they might just decide, to hell with it, rest Brady, we're in like Flynn.

Dallas lost last week, and Denver beat the Jets a couple of weeks ago....if you just go by recent form, Denver is easily the best of the bunch right now....:playball:
