The Day After Yesterday! Week 12 Thoughts

[Cookie Icer]

What Fun! The excitement! The Thrill! The Drama! It was absolutely amazing! But enough about the Muppets, here are my week 12 thoughts.

1. Another QB bites the dust- How much of a serious Superbowl contender would the Texans be if they can keep a healthy roster? After loosing Matt Schaub for the season everyone was talking about how the whole season now rests in the hands of Matt Leinart. For a while he actually looked pretty good, but a left shoulder injury suffered in yesterdays win over the Jaguars may be the end of the season for the Texans back up. Now the Texans, ever so close to their first Divisional title and trip to the playoffs, only have TJ Yates, and Kellen Clemens left on their roster of QB's. Do they trust their playoff hopes on the shoulders of these two unproven back ups? Do they go out and try to sign a free agent QB to finish up the season? It is sad to see Houston having their best season after coming back to the NFL, and us not knowing how far they could have gone if they were able to have a healthy roster.

2. Tic tok tic tok Colts- After loosing what was a winnable game against the Panthers, the Colts have only 5 game left on their schedule to try and avoid the dreadful 0-16 mark. But it won't be easy. Up next is the AFC East leading Patriots, after that the AFC North leading Ravens, then rematches against the Texans, jaguars and Titans. Well the Ravens have struggled this year against teams with loosing records. But with exception for the Jaguars, the Colts face 4 teams in a row with winning records, their next three are division leaders. The odds of the Colts getting a win this year has plummeted to 99.999999999999% Everything that goes up must come down. But its really sad to see the mighty Colt empire, suffer so badly without Peyton Manning.

SHOUT OUT PLAYERS!
RAVENS DEFENSE- Sure the San Francisco 49ers only had the 25th ranked offense going into their Thanksgiving day game against the Ravens, but the Ravens tied a team record with 9 sacks on Alex Smith, held the 49ers to 0 TD for the first time this season, and held Frank Gore to just 38 rushing yards. Great defensive performance by the Ravens D as a whole.

The Texans have the worst luck, I swear. And yes, the Muppets was a good movie!
