As you know by now, every week we review some of the dumb plays and calls of that week.Really, there wasn't that many to choose from this week, except for one game that sucked so bad that neither team won.

 

 

Winner: Philly vs Cincy - There were several dumb things going on in this game, so we'll call this one a tie. While I think normally the tie rule is ridiculous - let them play until someone scores - in this case it was more like euthenasia. Put this game to sleep before it puts everyone in America to sleep. It was absolutely brutal to watch. So, in true tie fashion, we picked three dumb plays that could have prevented a tie in this game. You can pick between the following:

 

 

a) Phantom roughing the passer call that gave the Bengals the only legitimate chance for either team in the OT period. Then Shayne Graham misses a 47 yarder. I guess he realized that they really didn't deserve to win the game.

 

b) The Bengals running the ball three consecutive times instead of trying to pick up a first down in the OT. At least a tie is not a loss, huh? When you're 1-8, you play for wins, don't you? Throw the ball...Try.

 

c) Jonathan Joseph dropping an easy INT (and a pretty easy return for a TD) that could have mercifully put an end to this terrible game.

 

 

Here are a couple of others from Week 11:

 

Marc Bulger - Rams - Three turnovers in the second half let the Niners put the game out of reach early. We know the Rams have quit trying, but let's at least get the simple stuff right. Bulger literally whiffed on grabbing the snap from center and gave San Francisco a short field and let Frank Gore score a short time later - because they weren't trying to tackle him I think.

 

Mark Clayton - Ravens - Baltimore was getting run over by the Giants backfield, but they were still in the game before halftime. That is until Clayton let a pass go right through his hands and let it drop into the arms of Aaron Ross. Ross' Pick 6 put the game out of reach.
