Solid Day of Football...

Am I the only one who can't stand Phillip Rivers? Sure, I can appreciate his skills as quarterback - big arm, pocket presence, and confidence. Wait, confidence. That's the part of him I hate. The guy cocky. And a real jerk about it, too. It all started last year with his game against the Broncos where he taunted Jay Cutler on the sideline looking like, well, a douche. From that point on, every little move this guy makes I can't stand. So you can only imagine how much pleasure I took from the Steelers raining on the Chargers today. Seeing Rivers' face when Rothlisberger hit his receiver on a key 3rd down to pretty much ice the game was priceless.

The Eagles went into The Meadowlands, ahem, Giants Stadium and won again. Eli had his worst performance of the season and McNabb came through when they needed it. The Eagles were just relentless in their blitzes and Manning could never comfortable. At one point this season, sitting at 11-1, the Giants seemed unstoppable. It's amazing how things can change so quickly in a span of a month in the NFL. Plax + guns = trouble.
