Best of the NFL Week 14 and 15

Who called it? Who was it who claimed weeks ago that Brett Favre's time on the Vikings would result in bursting into flames and crashing? Yep, we did. Of course it's really not much of an accomplishment, since it was pretty obvious that it was bound to happen, so it's kind of like saying somebody with terminal cancer is going to die, except instead of being a tragic occurrence this is actually humorous. Unless you're a vikings fan (and if you are then you can go to hell!), then you really have no reason to like Favre. The guy tarnished his legacy and spit on all his fans from his days in Green Bay by going to a team which would hurt their chances of making the playoffs. However, don't let ESPN fool you, there is no rivalry between the Packers and Vikings. The only ones who believe that are Vikings fans, and that's only because they want to be considered as significant as the Bears and Packers, but never will since they lack the tradition, history and success that the two teams in the NFL's biggest rivalry have. Essentially what I'm saying is that Favre, Childress, the Vikings and their fans can all go to hell, as I will be laughing at them as they fail within the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Enough ranting, as it's time for a special edition of Best of the Week where I will be looking back on the past two weeks since we're behind schedule due to the holidays and finals from college. So without further or-do hit the jump for two weeks of NFL awesomeness!


First up are some exploits of NFC East teams over the past two weeks.

Let's begin with the Cowboys-Chargers game, with Dallas trying to prove that they aren't completely awful in December (SPOILER ALERT: They fail)

However, it's amazing that San Diego didn't lose when they were pulling off plays like this..

I don't even know what happened here..

When they tried more conventional (and sane) tactics the Chargers were able to actually make things happen.

It's almost like deja vu...except this time it works

The usually reliable Marion Barber failed the cowboys...

..so it was up to the Dallas receiving core to help their team actually make progress (No I will not give Tony Romo any credit)

I believe the reason behind Austin's success is due to the fact that nobody wants to get near him and his disturbing smile.

Of course Phillip forgot what team he was playing for and ended up helping the Cowboys in their efforts

No Phillip, your team is the one in Blue..

In the end the Cowboys could not prove their critics wrong and failed to play proper coverage, costing them the game.

Dallas could never predict that the Chargers would go all PHILLIPP RIVVERSSS!!!

The second NFC East game of the week was between the Eagles and Giants. Without going into the details lets just say that Philly was looking for payback for the World Series..

Maclin just styled all over the Giants (litterly)


Hot damn that's cool..

In fact the entire game consisted of the Eagles acting sly and cool, except when they weren't actually making plays...

Shit like this is why I lost Fantasy Brent Celek!


Fortunately for DeSean, there's no penalty for being a huge pussy


Donovan McNabb..possible Hall of Famer...yeah...


Starting fights with less than a minute left in the game...only in Philly

Continuing our coverage of the G-men, they played the Washington Redskins the following week and let's just say the Giants weren't going to let themselves get styled on two weeks in a row..

All aboard the Failcopter


What is it with taking out refs this season?

The highlight of the game of course was when attempted a swinging gate, but of course failed miserably.

The worst part about this is that the Redskins attempted to trick the Giants with this, but New York called a timeout in order to prepare for it, and Washington then CALLED THE SAME PLAY!

It could be exploitation, or maybe it's the humor we get out of it, but once again we are going to cover another Epic Rams failure, this time to Vince Young and the Titans.

In case you had forgotten, Chris Johnson is very good. Of course against the Rams that isn't saying much...

Aside from some good blocks, Johnson styles all over St. Louis single handidly.

And then he did it again...

Chris Johnson's skill + The Ram's lack of = Big Plays

Not to be defeated without making fools of themselves, the Rams had Offensive Tackle Ryan McKee there to make a douche of himself.

See it's funny because he thinks he's a ram...and he plays for the rams...yeah


Somebody needs to remind this guy that nobody is intimidated by O-Linemen, especially obese ones like him

You have to feel sorry for Steven Jackson though, the guy has the 2nd most rushing yards in the NFL this season and his team still is awful.

Don't worry Steven, we still appreciate you.

Continuing the mockery of the awfulness of the NFC West, here's our coverage of the Texans domination over the Seattle Seahawks.

Randy Moss is a quitter, and Larry Fitzgerald is just succumbing to the Madden Curse, so without a doubt the best Wide Receiver in the NFL right now is Andre Johnson

Bitches can't cover Andre Johnson!

This is only 1 play out of a game where he had nearly 200 yards receiving and 2 TDs, ridiculous!

Of course the rest of the Texans aren't too shabby either, although they still are fighting to get a winning season. This is ridiculous, since along with Andre, who has the most receiving yards in the leauge, Matt Schaub has the 2nd most passing yards (only behind Peyton). So how exactly can the Texans not get 9 wins? Well essentially they have to play the Colts, Titans and Jaguars (all of whom may finish over .500) twice every season. Still look at these plays, it's absurd how this team is not making the playoffs.

Sure Steve Slaton has fumbling problems, but the rest of their running game is rock solid (As long as it isn't Slaton running the ball)

Not much to say about this, aside from Hassleback is having a turrible season.

Probably the biggest game of the past two weeks, the Browns victory over their hated rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, came from a mix of Steelers failure and Josh Cribbs awesomeness (with a pinch of Brady Quinn thrown in).

Josh Cribbs: two-thirds of Cleveland's Offense

The man cannot be stopped!

Being the Browns though, there had to be some stupid antics involved

Of course the Steelers probably should not be messing with a Browns team sick of losing to them for the past 10 years and just waiting for them to be bad enough for them to strike.

Don't worry Tomlin, at least you have a part on House.

Because it's so much fun making fun of Pittsburgh, let's continue the Steelers failure with their near/should have been except for the refs-loss to the Packers.

The Steelers faced the ultimate shame of being taunted by Aaron Rodgers' awful Touchdown celebrations.


It may not fit with the theme of Steelers failing, but I always enjoy seeing a Packer getting pwned.

I don't even know how something like this could happen..

Now time for the Epic Fails of the last two weeks..

Instead of tackling Derrick Mason, these two Detroit defensive-backs took each other out and allowed Mason to get away scottfree and score a Touchdown.

Another prime candidate for Fail of the Year.


A better look at this epic failure.

Peyton Manning is having an MVP season, with his team still undefeated, however even he isn't able to predict things like this:

Epic Fail or Epic Win? You be the judge


It's almost as if it was planned...

Sure the Browns won 2 games in a row, but being the Browns they couldn't have come without some kind of failure.

This is what they get for not having Scott Player as their punter (also, notice the guy in the way of the camera)

Remember when I said that the Texans Running game was good except for Steve Slaton's fumbling problems...

...Well he isn't the only one, since Arian Foster has the same issues (except against the Rams for pete's sake!)

And because there is no other way to classify them, here's some Epic Wins

This amazing near interception/catch from the Titans-Dolphins game isn't the first odd catch the dolphins have had this season.


From the same game. All I can say is, do NOT make Vince Young angry.


Another angle of Young's domination.

Oh and here's some more mascots beating kids in football..

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
