Well, we blew another one. We had a real chance of winning, except Painter cost us 16 points, by twice throwing endzone interceptions, and one-hopping a ball on a two point conversion attempt. They rest of the team played well and kept us in it. So I'm only going to say this once: Put in Orlofski. He can't do any worse. In the mean time, we're starting to get a few of our other guys back, but it may be too little too late.
Rest of the League:
Packers-Lions. The Lions tried their best, manhandling the Pack in the first half, but Green Bays defense remained too strong while the Lions D wore down. The Pack is going to be tough to beat.
Cowboys-Dolphins. So close. Again, where did the Fins find an offense, and can we get on there too?
Jets-Bills. Another close one. One heck of a game, but in the end the Jets found a way to do it at the wire.
Ravens-Niners. Anyone suprised by this outcome? Me neither.
Bengals-Browns. The Bengals are hunting for the playoffs again, but barely squeaked by their arch-rival for the 2nd time this season. Ever notice that the Browns season always seems to turn to a series of heart-breakingly close losses. I'll trade them.
Texans-Jags. Wow. The jags put up one heck of a fight in this one. Huh.
Titans-Buccs. Man TN looked good in this one. If they find a way to build on that, the Texans might see that divisional title slip through their fingers.
Redskins-Seahawks. Despite being a close game, this one was boring. As was Cards-Rams, which is why it don't get its own slot.
Raiders-Bears. Hey Chicago, want Orton back yet?
Broncos-Chargers. Whatever you want to say about Tim Tebow, he looks like he's having a blast this year. Keep it up kid.

NFL 11 week 11 synopsis
Well, at least I didn't have to watch the Colt's lose this week.
Broncos-Jets. Tebow continues to be the most love and hated QB in football, but got a win over the Jets, who just seemed to have phoned it in this season.
Fins-Bills. The Dolphins, after an 0-7 start, have now gone 3-0. I don't know what they did to turn it around, but we need some!
Browns-Jags. Congrats on barely beating the team that is probably the 2nd to worst lately.
Ravens-Bengals. Just in case you didn't notice, if the Bengals won that game, they would be in 1st in that division. How? No one knows.
Lions-Panthers. Did I mention that I love Stafford? After a rough start to this game, they came back to win. Be sure to watch the Lions host the Packers on turkey day.
Packers-Buccs. You want to know why they're winning? Rogers, in the post game, after making a big win comes out and says, "I'm really frustrated. The team played great, but I didn't do well today. I need to work to get better." When I was in band, we used to say that we didn't compete with other bands. We competed with ourselves. We don't care if we won every competition, because we wanted to do better. And that's exactly what the Packers have created there.
By the way, Tom Brady is a chump. I'm thankful for their every loss. I just am. Have a good "chumps-giving" everyone. And may your day be free of chumps.

Debt
Today, the United States reached 15 trillion dollars in debt. And what is the super commitee doing? Bickering. Said one member, among the members of his own party, the Democrats, they cannot even reach an agreement, let alone agree on the Republican proposal.
In the mean time, President Obama, who punted his responsibilities to the Super Committee, made a gaff, claiming that Hawaii is an Asian Country. Seeing how this is the land of his birth, this is just getting stupid.

NFL 11 Week 10 synopsis
Well, after four weeks of fumbling on the first couple of plays of the game, we managed to not do that. Instead, Painter threw an interception on the third play of the game. That pretty much sums up our season.
Dallas Clark is now out for a number of weeks. That makes Reggie Wayne and Jeff Saturday the only two starters on offense that have not been hurt this season (Garcon also has not, but is technically considered a backup for Anthony Gonzalez. You don't recognize his name? He's been on IR for 3 years straight.). We're not doing much better on Defense. Freeney was a questionable start.
Once again, our D tried to keep us in it, but it would help if the offense would do anything. In the last couple of weeks, the offense has scored a total of 3 points. Painter averages almost as many turnovers as first downs per game.
Now I hate a QB controversy, but I'm sick of watching the boy do nothing. Put in Dan Orlofski. I learned something interesting about him this week. He was Stafford's back up when the Lions went 0-16. He may be a jinx. We may need to run him over with a bus. But for now, start him. We just lost at home to the worst opponent we play all season. We can't do much worse. This game was so bad, from both teams, that they didn't show highlights of it on CBS, and the post-game highlights of the game itself showed the cheerleaders and mascots at various antics. And I still go out in public wearing Colts gear. Because I'm no fairweather fan!
Well, Colts have a bye week next week, so at least that's one less loss we have to suffer through. Maybe with a light week we can get a few guys healthy (the last few weeks our defense has been much improved getting our corners, Powers and Lacy back).
Rest of the League:
Cowboys-Bills. Where did Dallas get an offense? Are they allowed to do that? Or is that cheating.
Fins-skins. Just in case you were wonder, the last team aside from the Colts to not have a win just one the last two weeks (last week against KC). Both of the other bad teams got their first wins by soundly whupping teams who beat the Colts. Holy cow we are bad.
Giants-Patriots. Ok, so this is from week 9, but how could I pass this up? This broke an impressive at-home winning streak by the Patriots. And if you watched this game, it looked amazingly like the game when the Giants beat the undefeated Pats in the Super Bowl (one of the all time most entertaining games I have ever seen, and not just because the Pats lost). This included a pass to Jake Ballard that was identical to the David Tyree play of that Super Bowl. Ballard's number? 85, the same as Tyree. He ended up catching the game winner too. Brady personally had three turnovers early in the game. Why? He's a chump.
