Only one thing can accurately describe the Jets play last night...

Is this the week of bizarre incidents?

[bob]

My guys got totally annihilated last night. I thought that Green Bay would lose but it would be closer. A lot closer. We just have bad luck against those guys. When Jennings, Clay, Shields, Bensen and Woodson return I'm hoping it marks the return of the running game and a respectable defense.

Same here bob, my team got creamed.

[bob]

in fantasy I was down 40.5 at one point yesterday. I even mounted a come back and briefly held the lead. However, I'm currently losing by 3.52. My undefeated season is done.

I blame McCoy's concussion, Leslie Frazier for stupidly not giving AP the ball when they were by the end zone and never giving him the ball on that possession, Matt Bryant, Tony Gonzalez and Brandon Marshall.

While I am disappointed that I no longer have a shot to run the table I'm pretty happy with my squad for coming back from such a big margin.

Early reports are that McCoy probably won't be able to go next week so I'll be trotting about Steven Jackson again and hoping for similar numbers that he produced yesterday.

The Eagles, is what is a panic move in my opinion, cut all pro Jason Babin.

I'm really hoping the Packers claim him. If they don't I'm sure some team will.

Side note, I saw part of MNF, and I got to say, Cam Newton, at one point faked a hut, which cost Philly an offsides- I call Cam an a***ole for that.

On the flip side, Jacksonville actually won a game!

Jason Babin got claimed by the Jags after the Eagles cut him. By doing so he goes from the outhouse to the outhouse with better weather.

My team has no shot of having a running game the rest the season with Cedric Benson  having undergone surgery yesterday.

Drew Brees's  NFL record for consecutive  games with a touchdown streak ended last night. I'm pretty damn impressed that it lasted for 54 games.

[bob]

I don't think I can say a bad thing about Justin Tuck ever again.
