Detroit 49, Carolina 35: The Lions started off like they left off in Chicago. . .INTs galore, fumbles, big kick returns allowed. . .just like that it's 24 - 7 Carolina. But then Mathilda Stafford got hot, and *previously owned* running back Kevin Smith, just off the scrap heap, had the game of his life. . .the Lions offense was unstoppable in the second half, as they scored like they were playing a Big Whatever It Was Conference defense. This keeps the Lions in the running for a wildcard, and gives them a little juice for theThanksgiving Day game against rhe Packers. First chance to get a good look at Cam Newton. . .looked like a faster version of Daunte Culpepper. . .when the Panthers fix their Oklahoma State-like defense, they'll be a very tough team to beat.
Philadelphia 17, New York Giants 10: I said a couple weeks ago the Giants were the worst 6 - 2 team in the NFL. . .and they proved it by losing to Vince Young and a D.O.A. Eagles team. The Eagles have a lousy run defense, yet all the Giants could get was 29 yards on 17 carries. Looks like another fast start and playoff-blowing finish for Tom Coughlin. The Eagles are still D.O.A.
Miami 35, Buffalo 8: And just like that, the Bills are crap, again.
San Francisco 23, Arizona 7: The Jim Harbaugh machine keeps rolling. They play the Ravens on Thanksgiving night in the first Harbaugh Bowl. . .should be a helluva game. . .a throwback game to the old days when teams still played defense.
