Week 12 - I can see clearly now…

Well, it is week 12, the playoffs are in sight, the weather is getting colder…here is what we have to work with in today’s’ NFL…the is still an undefeated team..the 10-0…Tennessee Titans? Brett Favre has another team in green headed for the playoffs…the Patriots are tied for second in the AFC East with the Dolphins?  These pre-season playoff contenders are still under .500…Cleveland, Jacksonville, San Diego and Seattle…3 out of 4 teams are tied for 1st in the NFC North, at 5-5…only 4 teams in the NFC are under .500, and 3 of the 4 are in the West…7 teams are under water in the AFC, and 3 of the 7 are in the West…how bad is the west for professional football these days…and Donovan McNabb doesn’t know the overtime rules…what a wild season it has been…on to the rookies…

Matt Ryan continues to impress…even in a home loss to the Broncos he looks like a veteran…and for the season he has a 59.7% completion ratio, 11tds/6 int, a passer rating of 87.8, and his team is 6-4 and in playoff contention..

Joe Flacco is doing good things similar to Ryan….for the season his completion ratio is 62%, with 8 tds/9 ints, a passer rating of 77.2, and his team is also 6-4 and in good shape for the playoffs..

Matt Forte is second in rushing and receiving among the rookie class…and it has been the defense that has held up the Bears, not the offense..

Chris Johnson will get a lot of Rookie of the Year votes as the Titans remain undefeated…and he continues to lead rookies in rushing…

Eddie Royal is still making big catches in Denver…no small feat considering Brandon Marshall gets his share of throws…

Games of the Week: New York Jets @ Tennessee, New England @ Miami, Carolina @ Atlanta, New York Giants @ Arizona…make mine the Jets, Patriots, Falcons and Cardinals…last week a bad one 2-3, 7-5 for the past 3 weeks…
