OK, that was a little silly. 35-7 at halftime. 56-10 as a final. On Sunday night as I watched the Pats dismantle the Bills, some of the looks on the Bills' fans faces reminded me of the D-Day scene in "Saving Private Ryan where an anonymous private screams "They're killing us and we don't have a fuckin' chance and that ain't fair!" It was really that hopeless.

Good news for Eagles fans: The Eagles game against the Pats is in New England! So you can turn off the game at halftime and watch World Series of Poker highlights on ESPN2.

Precipitous rise: Denver
Perilous fall: Tennessee

1. New England Belichick runs up score against Bills to improve Pats in BCS standings.
2. Dallas Good thing about Da Boys winning? We don't have to hear T.O. whine.
3. Green Bay Cheesehead-theme comment: The Pack look very, very gouda.
4. Indianapolis "Paging Marvin Harrison, paging Marvin Harrison. White courtesy phone, please. Your QB misses you."
5. NY Giants Was this Chinese new year the Year of the Old Man? First Favre, now Strahan.
6. Pittsburgh How to chant and tick off any Steelers fan: J-E-T-S, J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets!
7. Jacksonville Smoke and mirrors and having the hapless Chargers on your schedule go a long way.
8. Seattle RB Maurice Morris won't make anyone forget about Sean Alexander. But there's still hope.
9. Cleveland K Dawson plays pinball with uprights. Wins "Free Game".
10. Detroit Lions will give the Packers all they can handle during this year's Thanksgiving Day game. (Did I just write that?)

Now for the other schlubs:

11. Philadelphia "Madden Curse" bites McNabb. For 3rd year in a row.
12. Tampa Bay OK, OK, so they're a decent football team. Still, it was the Falcons.
13. Tennessee See, real playoff teams beat teams like the Broncos.
14. Denver Look who decided he wants to be a NFL QB: Jay Cutler.
15. Washington Coach Gibbs' had NASCAR cars that ran better than his backfield.
16. Arizona One game out of the NFC West. How's that possible? Answer: It's the NFC West.
17. Buffalo Buffalo haven't been slaughtered like this since the 1800's.
18. New Orleans And things were looking so good 2 weeks ago....
19. San Diego Next team to hire Norv Turner as a head coach should have their franchise revoked.
20. Chicago Defense doesn't win championships. Look it up.
21. Baltimore See Chicago.
22. Kansas City WR D. Bowe could De Rookie of De Year! So there's that...
23. Houston QB Schaub returns. Albeit too late.
24. Minnesota Chester Taylor loves G Steve Hutchinson, too.
25. Carolina Last week, I accused them of playing softer than James Taylor. This week, I'm amending that to Norah Jones.
26. Cincinnati Nah, those off-season, off-the-field skirmishes with the law weren't a distraction to the team.
27. New York Jets Jets fans: Way to screw up the draft, Mangini.
28. Oakland The JaMarcus Russell Era begins Dec. 2 at home against Denver. Hope he gets used to starting out drives 1st and 15 after false-start penalties.
29. Atlanta Following Panthers lead in bringing back QB Vinny Testaverde, Falcons place call to Steve Bartkowski.
30. St. Louis Yeah, but it was the Niners they beat.
31. San Francisco Offense wins championships, remember?
32. Miami Looking forward to next April. No, not for the draft. For Marlins Opening Day.
