How the Niners have even two wins is beyond me... :(
Their 2 wins were in the first 2 games against Arizona and St. Louis by a combined total of 4 points!
They were actually a bandwagon team to win their division in the preseason!

What division?
Was it the NFL?

NFC West. It is probably the worst division in football, though.
Man the Niners stink. Succinct enough?

I know.
I was being facetious... They couldn't win their division in college Division III.

I figured that you actually knew, but stating it gave me an avenue to point out that they are a bad team in a division full of bad teams. :bonk:

Interestingly, the AFC West is just a bad.
Doesn't say much about football west of the Rockies... :sweat:

They're certainly pretty close, however, I *think* the Chargers are better than Seattle or whichever team ends up winning the NFC West.
The AFC East would be the worst if you traded the Pats for the 1st place team in the AFC West, NFC West, or NFC South (Chargers, Seahawks, or Buccs).

The Rams. :beaten: :hehe: :rofl:
Chargers fall in Jacksonville, 24-17.
Phillip Rivers is doing a very good Rex Grossman imitation. :shakehead:
Colts get back on the win column with a 13-10 win over the Chiefs. :sweat:

Cleveland beats Baltimore in OT, 33-30, after Cleveland makes one of the weirdest FGs in NFL history to tie the game in regulation... :beaten: :hehe:
My Steelers lose an awful game to the f@$#!n' JETS! :shamefulcry:
Dolphins rule!

Big Ben got sacked seven(!) times... And the Steel Curtain defense allowed Thomas Jones to rumble for 117 yards...
Houston beats New Orleans, 23-10... :victory:
New England trounces Buffalo, 56-10. :shakehead:
They're making the NFL look like a joke. :sweat:

THE GOOD
Last night's New England game... haven't seen a game like that since the 1994 season's Superbowl... 49'ers scored two TD's per quarter, all offense, against what had been one of the best defenses in the league.
THE BAD
Raiders lost again. But at least they scored a touchdown... Raiders have scored 180 points in 10 games this season, while allowing 223.

THE UGLY
This is the worst 49er's offense I have ever seen. :banghead:
49ers are the official worst offense in the NFL, only 113 points :ashamed:
Even the 2nd worst offense, Kansas City, has scored 32 more points [145] :ashamed:
49ers have only scored 20 or more points once this season. :ashamed:
Bill Walsh is rolling over in his grave. :ashamed:
The TV commentators are openly questioning and ridiculing the 49er offensive play calls during games :ashamed:
Say what you want, but Norv Turner at OC made a huge difference. :grumble:
Cheers, :drink:

But you can hardly say that the Bills have one of the best defenses in the league... :sweat:

Another sad weekend of football for the Bay Area, er, California. :sweat:

He's certainly made a huge difference with the Chargers, turning one of the best offenses of last year into one of the most mediocre this year. :sweat:
Actually, to be fair to Norv, he's had a lot of help in producing this underperforming offense from his assistant coaches and players.
Heard an interesting stat today: Philip Rivers' QB rating in the fourth quarter this season ranks him at 41 out of 42 QBs; last year, he had the highest QB rating in the fourth quarter.
Last week produced some more upsets, which has been the norm in this really great college football season.
Oregon kills its chance at playing for the national championship by losing to an average Arizona team. Not having Dennis Dixon for almost the entire game really hurt the Ducks and, if nothing else, proves that he might be the most valuable player in the country.
Oklahoma gets shot down by pass-happy Texas Tech. Like Oregon, the Sooners also lost their starting QB early in the game. But their inability to stop Tech's air attack did them in. It's not like they didn't see enough passes thrown at them during the game to figure out what was happening: Tech's QB had over 70 passing attempts.
With their win over a struggling Michigan team, Ohio State has a chance to play for the BCS championship. Say it ain't so, Bo!
Speaking of Bo, one of his disciples--Les Miles--is now in the hot seat. It will be interesting to see how he and LSU handle this enormous distraction of the now-open Michigan head coaching job.
Tim Tebow becomes the first player in Div. 1A history to pass for 20 TDs (he actually has 26) and run for 20 TDs in the same season. That is a pretty mind-boggling stat, but with the proliferation of the spread offense in college football, there's a decent chance other QBs will accomplish this feat, if not this year, then maybe down the road.
