Other games week 12 (including Thanksgiving)

BTW, if the Texans sign Jake Delhomme, who they supposedly worked out, its a sign they are not only giving up on the playoffs, but hoping to get into Suck for Luck.

It will be either Delhomme or Jeff Garcia. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...-Delhomme.html

Weird situation with Houston. They're the #1 seed in the AFC, and have absolutely nothing at QB.

The Browns did that one year. Spent all year rotating QBs, first Kosar, then Mike Pagel then they unburied Don Strock's corpse. Pagel returned, got hurt again, Strock one more time then Kosar came back. Just looked it up, it was 1988 and I forgot Gary Danielson also played.

Lost first round of playoffs to the Houston Oilers.

The 1986 and 1988 Bears feel your pain

God I loved it when the 49ers beat the Bears in the NFC Title Game in 1988. Was still living in the Chicago area at the time, and all week long had to listen about how the Bears would win because of "Bear weather".

I was there too. That was pretty sweet. But nothing compared to the sweep the following year, including the instant replay game. Did I rub it in to all my co-workers? Yes I did!

Saints simply CRUSHED the G-Men on MNF; Packers need to KO Giants on sunday to keep the momentum going for the likely clash between Packers - Saints in january.

It was rather surprising how bad the Gmen looked last night. Unless NY plays much better at home we should be victorious unless we really screw it up.

[channtheman]

NY lost to the Eagles at home a couple of weeks ago. We've had a mini bye to prepare and we have not looked good against the Bucs or the Lions. This does not bode well for the Giants.

[pbmax]

The NFC East is proving to be much weaker than expected. Winning on the road is not guaranteed, but the Giants are far from unbeatable there. Even Bretsky's second or third favorite GM hasn't been able to help this year.

[Freak Out]

I thought it was pronounced 'Yates" but spelled Yeats?

Have they signed Keats yet?

[Guiness]

Houston's sure having a tough go around, losing Leinart halfway through his first start. Have to feel a little bad for him as well.

Can't remember the last time I saw an Other Games thread with no mention of a Vikings loss. Wow, have the miseries of our second most hated rival ceased to give us joy? For what it is worth, Percy Harvin had a 104 yard KO return...and didn't get a TD! Those Vikings, they almost score better than anyone.

If it makes you feel better, I still enjoy a good Vikings loss...

Ya, but not as much as I used to. Kind of like the Lions this past decade - it wasn't exactly NEWS AT 11!!!!!!!!!!! when they lost.

See, to me that makes it more fun than shocking...

And the Texans sign Delhomme.

Can't imagine what they're expecting out of him. He was awful in Cleveland last year.

Its just perplexing what qualified coaches see when he works out. He imploded in that playoff game in 2008 and then was wholly unreliable for the entire next year with the Panthers (passer rating for year: 59.4).

Then he signs a sizable contract with the Browns and is replaced by Seneca Wallace and Colt McCoy. It must be that he can run a West Coast offense or something.
