Hey look, the internets have made it out to rural Wisconsin!  And since I love all of our readers as much as I love the cheese curds, here’s your weekly recap fix as I wind down my vacation.

Chicago 27, Detroit 37: There is absolutely no reason why the Bears should ever, under any circumstances, throw 52 times.  Only bad things can happen. 

St. Louis 7, Dallas 35: It’s getting really ugly in St. Louis.  If you can’t stop Tony Romo from turning a -35 yard botched snap to the longest 4 yard run in the history of the game, you got problems. 

Baltimore 13, Cleveland 27: Derek Anderson’s Brady-like 10 of 18 dissection of the Raven D was the biggest surprise of the day.

Jets 14, Buffalo 17: So the Bills line showed up to block for Trent Edwards.  Woo-hoo.  This one was the snoozer of the week.

Houston 16, Atlanta 26: In a game filled with more quarterback drama than I have time to write about, the better team lost.

Green Bay 23, Minnesota 16: The entire state of Wisconsin is basking in the fact that they the only state with undefeated major college and pro football programs.

Oakland 35, Miami 17: Daunte Culpepper rolled to a tune of 75 passing yards and five total TDs.  Still, I don’t think Miami regrets getting rid of him.

Seattle 23, San Francisco 3: The first of two major injuries on Sunday happened to Alex Smith who separated his shoulder on the third play of the game.  NFC West, you’re in trouble now that Trent Dilfer, the man who made the backhanded compliment “game manager” sexy, is at the helm.  On to the Super Bowl, Niners!

Tampa Bay 20, Carolina 7: A week after breaking through, Cadillac broke an axle and is done for the season.  The David Carrolina Panthers are off to a rocky start.  I’m telling you, all bets are off in the dirrrty South.

Kansas City 30, San Diego 16: After a great, healthy showing in the first half, the Chargers had a vicious outbreak of the NT in the second half leading to the ineluctable loss.  Oh, Norv…

Denver 20, Indianapolis 38: Marvin Harrison goes down but like assholes, the Colts win again.

Pittsburgh 14, Arizona 21: You think Ken Wisenhunt and Russ Grimm had anything to do with this win?

Philly 3, Giants 16: God, I can’t tell you how satisfying this win was.  Elisha might not have played well enough to become a man tonight but after one week of being white, Donovan McNabb is Black again.
