Knowshon Moreno or Cadillac Williams, Derrick Ward is out and they face the Redskins.

Didn't even bother to watch any of the pre-game shows as I assumed most would be entirely devoted to worshiping Brent.

Pettigrew is an excellent blocker.
The Lions score

I was wrong as he'll on Flacco. I thought he'd be solid but never anywhere close to being as good as he is now.

Lions are taking it to the bears. Their offensive line is giving Stafford time to throw.

Lions are definitely an improved team and are at 14-14 but I can't see them winning again today.

Stafford is going to be awesome when he learns to take a little off certain throws, which Billick has pointed out about a billion times.

A lot of people didn't like the Pettigrew pick for some reason, but its great to have such a huge young TE with potential in both areas to go along with CJ and Stafford.

Yeah Pettigrew gives you a lot of flexibility in your offense. I thought that was a great value pick for them.

is Manning in the zone or what

I will enjoy watching him break all of Brent's records. Except for the INT one. That's pretty safe.

What a horrible drop on 4th down by Clayton. Mason should have caught the on on 3rd down as well.

Bellicheat gets another break.

How bad are the Raiders?

I was just looking at some fantasy scores and noticed San Fran had 3 DTD's against St. Louis. Plus they shut them out. St. Louis has to be the worst team in the league. Packers should have beaten them by more.

Jamarcus Russell is doing his best to pass Ryan Leaf on the NFL's All-Time bust list.

That knucklehead has 31 million in guaranteed money. Hopefully that was front loaded. At what point do you just cut a guy that bad?

Seriously, he's taking Darren McFadden and Heyward-Bey down with him.

That team is an awful mess. The NFL really needs to step in.

At least the Cowgirls lost this weekend.

The end of that game was hilarious. Dallas' defense looks like 7 year olds trying to tackle Brandon Marshall on his TD then Romo takes them down inside the Denver 5 before they blow it.

Always great to see Wade Phillips lose. I can't stand him. That guy raises his arms like he just won a playoff game after field goals early in a regular season game.

Phillips will be out at the end of the season. I'd say earlier but Jones will want one of the high profile guys and they won't come in midseason. There are 5 guys out there that have won Super Bowls (Holmgren, Cowher, Dungy, Gruden, Billick). One of them will take Jones cash I'm sure. Although I don't believe a coach has ever won a Super Bowl with two teams.
