Week 17/Season AFC Recap
By Gary Ashley
AFC Correspondent/Down with the sickness
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati - Implication: Cincy must win to have a chance at making the playoffs - Steeler Nation, please repeat after me:
LOL
Just when we all thought that the Steelers season look as dismal as possible, with the reigning Super Bowl champs missing the playoffs, it resulted in one big item to cheer about for the Steeler Nation: For the second straight year, the Steelers have eliminated the Bengals from the playoffs. I say "Who Dey?" You say "Not Dem." The Bengals defined what it meant to Bungal away the season when Bengals kicker Shane Graham pushed the potential game-winning field goal wide right in the 4th quarter, leading to overtime. Steelers won the toss and elected to win following a 67 yard pass to (Pittburghese accent) Santonio Holmes who dove the last 10 yards or so. If I were NFL Commissioner, an overtime loss by touchdown should count as two losses. Interestingly enough, Chad Johnson went another game without a TD against the Steelers. Bengals blow their playoff chances in a most comedic fashion as Cowher contemplates the future. .500 Steelers 23, Smells Like Icy Hot 17
Oakland at NY Jets - Implication: Oakland loss and Detroit win gurantees #1 draft pick - The Jets had already clinched a playoff appearance, it was now up to Oakland to clinch a NFL Draft Day appearance in the first hour. Much like all but 2 weeks of the NFL season, Oakland lived up to their expectations of horrible football play with Aaron Brooks throwing 15/26 for 136 yds, 1 INT and 1 Fumble. All the Jets had to do was show up and enjoy the buffoonery. Jets are in the playoffs and Chad Pennington is still in one piece. Oakland gets Brady Quinn. First Round Elimination 23, Sebass Jowski 3
Cleveland at Houston - Implication: Neither QB will have a job next season - I still remember from a past edition of the radio show where Reedy said something to the effect that David Carr is having the best Fantasy Football season of his career. Apperently in Houston, you're only as good as the last season you play there. Carr threw 9/15 for 86 yds with 1 INT in what could be compared to Brett Favre's last game, only no one cared and CBS's Don Crikey was the only one in tears. Terrible game aside, Houston ended up with a win against the Browns showing a huge sign of improvement from last year. Houston drafts a little later than last year. Houston gets Brady Quinn after Oakland buys magic beans. Texas QB Vacancy 14, Phil Dawson 6
THE LIST
(of important stuff that happened this season)
Most improved team - New Orleans Saints - 10-6 record and playoff appearance
Least improved team - Detroit Lions - 3-13 record and the fans still protesting Millen. Honorable Mention: Miami Dolphins
Biggest surprise - Pittsburgh Steelers - Defending Super Bowl champs post 8-8 record and fail to make the playoffs
Most hilarious victory - Arizona losing to Chicago on MNF in Week 6 by defensive and special teams scoring. Honorable Mention: Detroit giving up 23 4th points in Week 5 and losing
Biggest offseason story - TO signs with the Cowboys, hilarity ensures. Honorable Mention: Ben's motorcycle accident
Biggest in-season story - TO nearly commits "suicide", PRlarity ensues. Honorable Mention: San Diego Chargers linebacker Steve Foley getting shot by a police officer
Best quote - Unemployed Head Coach Dennis Green commenting after his loss to the Bears on MNF in Week 6: "The Bears are who we thought they were! Now, if you want to crown them, then crown (them)! But they are who they thought they were! And we let them off the hook!"
The Longest Yard Award - Cincinnati Bengals - 8 players arrested in 2006
Most Listed QB - Oakland's Andy Walter - 53.3% passing, 3 TDs, 13 INTs in 8 starts
