I', still a?little bit in shock after this week - Detroit, Buffalo, Miami, and Santa Clara - oops, San Francisco all got W's this weekend. That's a lot of meaningless wins - unless you're Atlanta, Chicago or Minnesota, and then the win has meaning because it translates to a loss for them.

I didn't realize how much of an impact Jerome Bettis had on the Steelers, and I used to joke about that, since I didn't really believe it. That was until I heard that 6 of Ben's 14 picks have been from inside the 5 yard line of their opponent. My first thought was why on earth are they passing from the goal line, but I realized it's because they don't have a big, bruising back to pound the ball in. If there were 6 picks, you can count on there being at least 6 incompletions too. That's 12 attempts that last year were probably runs by Bettis. Imagine how outcomes could have changed if 8 of those were touchdowns. 5 of their losses were by 10 or less points, and 2 were 7 or less. Add 8 touchdowns in there, and it's pretty feasible that they could have won 3 or 4 of those 5 games. Instead of 2-6, that would be 5-3 or 6-2. All theory, but interesting none the less.
