5 Things I'm Still Trying to Understand from Week 12

A little football for you guys, with what we hope will be a weekly segment:

1. The Panthers Defense: A little homerism out of the way. I haven't been able to watch a full Panthers game all year (stupid Ohio), but I was under the impression that our strong point was the defense. Boy was I wrong! 45 points? Against Matt Ryan? Where was Julius Peppers? Jon Beason? I'll put it this way: when Jake Delhomme is the high point, its a bad day for Carolina.

2. Randy Moss: Dear Randy Moss, you have sucked this season. Its not entirely your fault. Prettyboy got taken down in week one and since then you've had Matt Leinart's backup throwing 5-10 yard passes. So when Miami decides to shift coverage towards people who, you know, ARE GETTING THROWN TO, its not a personal assault on your honor.

3. Joey Porter: Let's choose to think of J-Po as an overachiever - the kid in the class who complains when he gets an A- - and not a 250 pound infant with a god complex.

4. The Titans WR Corps: HAHAHAHA. Remember when these guys were going to win the Super Bowl? Thank you Jets. Thank you so much.

5. 837 points: You know what the crazy thing is? Oakland, Buffalo, and Kansas City combined for 116 of those points.

Next week: Thanksgiving football becomes even more meaningless! Chicago and Minnesota try to sort out who's the least mediocre! I am forced to root for Marmalard!
