--Pittsburgh-3, Miami-0. That may have been the worst NFL game I have ever seen. Steve Young said after the game that it really wasn't a test of skill because of poor field conditions. When you're making the kind of money these guys make, you should be able to perform upside down naked on concrete if you have to. The Steelers were lucky to escape with the win, if you can call it that.
--Speaking of MNF, Michael Wilbon of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" basically said at halftime that this season especially shows why there should be a playoff system in college football. While I agree that there should be a playoff system similar to what the lower divisions use, why "especially" this year? Oh, I know. It's because two teams like Mizzou and West Virginia have a chance to play for the championship instead of one of the network sweethearts like Notre Dame or USC or Ohio St. Wait, last year Ohio St. played for the championship and got their ASSES kicked by Florida, that's right. I remember.
--Andy Reid said today that IF Donovan McNabb is healthy, he's their QB. After the Eagles near-upset of New England last night, you have to wonder why in the world wouldn't you at least consider starting A.J. Feely. Reid is a loyal guy to a fault sometimes, and this loyalty will probably cost him his job. Both NcNabb and Reid will be gone from Philly at the end of the year.
--Baltimore and Carolina also will be looking for new head coaches at the end of this season. Brian Billick's putrid offense continues to sputter and after firing offensive coordinator Jim Fassel last year and taking over play calling duties, well...........enough said. Carolina's John Fox is gone as well. Carolina has simply struggled all year. The talent seems to be there but there is something missing, something that a coach like.....oh.......say........Bill Cowher might be able to find?
--The Patriots looked almost human Sunday night. Is it possible that the magic is wearing off, have they finally hit the wall? Um..........nah!!!
--Cleveland in the playoffs. You don't get to say those words in the same sentence very often.
--All of our thoughts and prayers go out to Redskin's safety Sean Taylor and his family. Taylor was shot in his home early Monday morning by an intruder and is in critical condition. Let's all pray for his speedy and full recovery.
--Hey, Nick Saban. There are two openings for head coaches at Georgia Tech and Arkansas. Time to jump ship.

I think McNabb has just been hurt too many times to ever truly be effective again, but I'm not sure Feely is the answer either. Hmmm...Eli Manning? Feely might be a good fit with the Giants if they can draft a running game. McNabb would be good in Miami, and Eli can at least fill the bill until the Eagle's new QB is ready. And by the way: The Steelers have become irrelevant to this season. They're no longer in any legitimate discussion regarding the playoffs.
As far as Miami goes, they have their QB of the future in John Beck and he is going to be the man there, at least for a while. I agree that McNabb is done in Philly, where he might end up is still a matter of speculation. The Giants are going to ride the Eli train as long as they can. And how can you say that the Steelers are irrelevant? They have the third best record in the AFC, they are leading their division and they are one of the most physical teams in the NFL. They will not only make the playoffs but will be a factor.
