Week 8 AFC/NFC Recap
By Gary Ashley

Oakland at Pittsburgh - Five reasons to load the catapault:
1) The Steelers outgained Oakland in offensive yards 360 to 98.
2) Ben threw 3 TDs, one to Willie Parker and two of them to Oakland CBs.
3) Oakland was the #2 worst team ranked in ESPN's Power Rankings.
4) Anyone who said that the preseason didn't matter at all in Pittsburgh not only needs to be shot, but counting the preseason the Steelers are 2-9.
5) The Steelers are now tied with a bunch of 2-5 teams that we have poked fun at a good amount of time.
In short, The Steelers beat The Steelers. But rather than playing against themselves, they were playing with themselves. Ben's been injured 3 times in 5 months. Charlie Batch hasn't. Steelers versus 5-2 Denver next week, when the Charlie Batch Era begins. Oakland Steelers 20, Pittsburgh Steelers 13
Indianapolis at Denver - Undefeated versus partially undefeated, then again close only counts in horseshoes. With thoughts of Denver ordering the Jay Cutlery knife and spoon set, the reservations were put on hold as Denver broke the 20-point barrier for the first time this season. Peyton Manning threw for 3 TDs, all to Reggie Wayne while Adam Viniteri kicked a game winning field goal, this time not wearing a Patriots jersey and not in the Super Bowl. The Broncs managed 3 rushing TDs from Mike Bell and Jake Plummer to go with Plummer's passing TD. Next week, Denver plays Pittsburgh. Now's a good time to start your Sunday Christmas shopping. Peyton Manning 34, Jake Plummer 31
Seattle at Kansas City - Aptly named "The Backup Bowl" because both starting QBs for each team were injured. This was the first game without Mike Saddlebag at the helm and to many the first downfall of the Seattle Seahawks this season. Seneca Wallace played better than last week due to the fact that he wasn't napping on the sidelines and came in to stink up the place. Please hold for the following Bermanism: GRRRRRRRRRANDMAMAMAMAMAAA!!!! Larry Johnson scores the gameball for Reedy's Rockets with 3 TDs including the game clincher. Seneca GrapeJuice can breathe a little easier as next week they play the Raiders at home, in their effort to knock off the other Super Bowl team from last year. Trent Green will return next week for KC, so ESPN prepare the Nickelback music. Kansas City (I'm out of ideas) 35, Flock of Seahawks (and recycling them) 28
THE LIST
(of QB's houses to egg, corn, TP, and vandlize on Tuesday)
1) The Next QB to be Exiled from Pittsburgh, Ben Rothlisberger - 25/37 for 301 yds, 1 TD, 4 INTs (2 returned for TDs), lost to the #2 worst team in the league - The stuff fans pulled on Tommy Maddox's front lawn when he lost them the game in Jacksonville last year will seem like dropping a Snickers wrapper compared to what they'll do if he doesn't get back to being his old self.
2) Andy Walter - 5/14 for 51 yds, 1 INT - Raiders didn't win this game. Steelers beat themselves. You're staying on the list until you get a CONVINCING victory.
3) David Carr - 15/21 for 113 yds, 1 INT, 2 Fumbles - Carr finally got benched in Houston, and the backup almost wins the game for them. REPLACING DAVID CARR IN A FOOTBALL GAME!? BRILLIANT!
4) Bruce Gradkowski - 20/48 for 139 yds, 1 Fumble - Bro! Drink some Natty and play some XBOX and we'll see you next week.
5) Chad Pennington - 11/28 for 108 yds, 2 INTs - Another week on The List for the Kington of the Ingtons.
