During the Baltimore-Indy game, did anyone start to get the feeling that Baltimore was playing against a great team and the perception of an invincible team? Wait, what does that mean?

Well, it is hard enough to beat Indy and Manning's aerial attack, but when the officials seem to expect that Manning's air attack can do no wrong, then you might as well hang 'em up. Cut To The Chase »

The first thing that came to mind when I heard about the end if the Cardinals/Packers game was that the Overtime Apologists are about to come out of the woodwork.. And sure enough, they didn't disappoint (well, it is disappointing to me but you get the idea): Cut To The Chase »

As this MNF feature points out, Frank Gore's high yards per carry average this year is pretty remarkable given the poor quality of San Francisco's run blocking. This column helps introduce our new terminology for some of the offensive line stats. What was called "10+ Yards" will now be called "Open Field Yards," and the yards from 5-10 are going to be called "Second Level Yards." Look for those changes on the OL and DL stats sheets this Tuesday. Cut To The Chase »
