Unfortunately only 2 games were televised this week (ie. that i saw/heard
about)...

Bucs vs Bengals ("wide-right MT"): In a bewildering display of ineptitude,
the Bucs somehow managed to reach deep down inside themselves and do their
damndest to keep it close all the way to the closing minutes.  Up by ONE TD
(and YES THIS IS THE BENGALS!), let me repeat, ONLY one TD, the Bucs try to
usurp the title of "wide right" and proceed to kick what would be the
clinching field goal wide.  Over the course of their next drive they choose
to kneel, presumably either for the fun of watching the Bengal's coach keel
over from a heart attack or to save "laces out" from further embarrasment...
but in any case, the Bengal's ensuing determined drive ends tragically with
no time left on the 10 yard line, so close yet too fucking far.  As the
dejected Cinci team stares down at the ground and mutter bout "the game
being bullshit," a collective sigh of relief echoes through the stadium as
the Bucs manage to ESCAPE with a narrow W  over the Bengals.

In the second, the Packers overcame some early tentativeness for a
come-from-behind victory over a team that's honestly not much better than
Cinci.  The Panthers (Brian) took a commanding 15-3 point lead at halftime,
and only a red zone defensive stop- an interception in the endzone by Cota,
the newly signed free-agent replacement for GB Pro-Bowler Darren Sharper-
kept the half from being a complete disaster.  It is unknown what was said
in the locker room, but the Packers came out sharp and with a look in their
eyes that would have sent mark squeeling home to his momma.  After a
commanding defensive stop on the initial Panther possesion- a stop where the
O-Line was just pummmelled into the ground and then leisurely shat upon- a
punt return for a Special-Teams TD brought it to a 5 point game.  The
Packers continued to turn up the defensive pressure, and then looked to last
week's NFL player of the week to lead the offense.  Carolina would not just
fall over though, and not only was the running game quickly and decisively
stifled, with former Nebraska star Ahman Green (how's that for a shout-out
Tritty) never even seeing daylight, but they went on to score a touchdown to
extend their lead.  That only pissed Favre off.  He stepped up his own game
and forged downfield through the air, not once but TWICE, to end both times
in the endzone and a slim 23-22 lead with bout 2 and change on the clock.
One more defensive stop by a defense that's already been battered by early
injuries, and a huge 4 and 2 conversion leading to a GB touchdown gave them
a comfortable 8 point cushion.  Another great defensive stop by Cota sealed
the game for the Packers who scored once more to prevent this surprising
Carolina offense from pulling off a miracle.

And once again... its the FUCKING PATS who are holding us back from the next
week.
