CINCINNATI BENGALS REMAIN IN PLAYOFF HUNT
There was a very real possibility last night, late in the third quarter to be a little more precise, that the Cincinnati Bengals might actually lose to the flightless, lifeless Philadelphia Eagles. Five plays and five turnovers by the Eagles later, and the Bengals who scored 24 points in that 3 and a half minutes of infamy, were destined for success. Snagging a win from the jaws (or in this case) beak of defeat.
This less than impressive win goes down in the books as a "W", and so the Bengals remain in the playoff hunt.

EPIC FAILURE BY THE TEXANS, OR WAS IT?
The Houston Texans were schooled by Tom Brady and the rest of Belichick's boys last night on Monday Night Football, to the tune of 42-14. It was supposed to be the biggest game in franchise history for the Texans, and in many respects it was. The game just didn't turn out the way Houston was hoping.
There were a few other failures this week as well. The Baltimore Ravens failed to secure a playoff spot for the second week in a row, firing coordinator Cam Cameron as a consequence. The Pittsburgh Steelers failed to win a seemingly very winnable game, at home, against the 5-8 San Diego Chargers. Despite the 34-24 score, the game wasn't even close.
The biggest failures this week, failures of epic proportion, at least in terms of the scoreboard, go to; the Saints (losing to the Giants, 52-27), Cardinals (getting blanked by the Seahawks, 58-0) and Chiefs (losing to the Browns, 30-7). Considering what the expectations are for the Houston Texans, their 42-14 loss has to be counted as one of the epic failures this week as well.
The good news for the Texans is that there are three more weeks left in the regular season to right the ship. If they were getting a little too full of themselves, last night's debacle can serve as a wake-up call.

KILLER DALLAS COWBOYS INSPIRED SHIRT
It will be tough sledding this week for the Dallas Cowboys. They're dealing with the death of practice squad LB Jerry Brown, and intoxicated manslaughter charges against DL Josh Brent. Not to mention that they're playing the 7-5 Cincinnati Bengals on the road.
Despite a mediocre season, the 6-6 Cowboys are still in the playoff hunt. So, if you're a fan of the 'boys, be sure to get yourself or that special someone on your list, the coveted Dallas Armchair Quarterback shirt.
Take solace in knowing that Eagles fans, Redskins fans, Giants fans and fans of the other 28 NFL teams, would never be caught dead in one.

UNIQUE HOUSTON TEXANS INSPIRED SHIRT
The 11-1 Houston Texans take on the 9-3 New England Patriots in Gillette Stadium on Monday night. Visually, the "Red-White and Blue" against "Red-White and Blue" might be a little confusing to watch, but in watching this game it should be pretty clear that these are two elite teams battling for what ultimately will be the conference title , a first-week bye, and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Nevermind all that.
If you're a fan of Matt Schaub and the Texans, be sure to get yourself or someone on your list the coveted Houston Armchair Quarterback shirt.

AWESOME DENVER BRONCOS INSPIRED SHIRT
Peyton Manning completed his 5000th pass last night as the Denver Broncos not unexpectedly, beat the Oakland Raiders 26-13, on Monday Night Football (MNF). They improved to 10-3 with three games remaining, and have the AFC West wrapped up in plenty of time for Christmas.
Nevermind all that.
If you're a fan of Manning and the Broncos, be sure to get yourself or someone on your list the coveted Denver Armchair Quarterback shirt.

HATS OFF TO THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Much has been written, and even more has been said, about the murder-suicide ordeal that the Kansas City Chiefs have had to deal with. The lousy 2-10 season is one thing, but this latest off-the-field travesty is obviously something else entirely. All I can say is hat's off to the Kansas City Chiefs' organization and their fans.

WHY STEELERS (NOT RAVENS) WIN THE AFC NORTH
The final four weeks of the 2012 NFL season are upon us, and the division of greatest interest to the Pittsburgh Armchair Quarterback is the AFC North. Conventional wisdom and the talking heads tell us that the division title will most likely be won by the Baltimore Ravens, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals scratching and clawing for a wildcard birth. The hell with that.
For the Black and Gold, getting into the playoffs will be decided in the game against the Bengals on the the 40th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, in Pittsburgh, on December 23rd. Karma aside, If the Steelers win that game and two of the three others, the Steelers are in. That's going to be a war, one that we might wish Franco's Italian Army was here to wage, but a winnable war nonetheless. If we lose that battle, the road to the playoffs is going to be much tougher and requiring a little help from our 'friends'. In other words, I don't think we would be controlling our destiny at that point.
Wait. Give yourself a cold hard slap to the face. That's loser talk, and we're not willing to concede the division. What about winning the thing outright? That my friends is a distinct possibility. The Ravens' remaining schedule is a beast, to say the least. They've got the Redskins, Broncos, Giants and Bengals. Given the strength of that schedule, It is certainly conceivable that they could lose three of those four. In contrast, if the Steelers win their remaining games, they clinch the division. Pure and simple.
The Ravens losing Terrell Suggs for a couple of games could be real tough for Baltimore to overcome. This is especially true since they are facing a red hot RG III next Sunday in Landover, MD and the Manning brothers in back-to-back games, all before wrapping things up against Cincinnati in the season finale.
The Steelers just need to get healthy and stay focused (especially Mike Wallace).
They do that, and they will win the AFC North.

CHARLIE BATCH NOT TOO OLD AFTERALL
What can you say? Hats off to Charlie Batch. He led the Pittsburgh Steelers in a surprising 23-20 upset of the Ravens, in a game that effectively blurred the AFC playoff picture. At the very least, the 9-3 Ravens missed an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot, while the Steelers firmed up their position to secure a wild-card spot at 7-5.
Too old? Uncle Charlie of Homestead is not quite ready for the rocking chair (or armchair) after all.

KC CHIEFS JOVAN BELCHER GOT A GUN
There has been a lot of speculation on what drove KansasCity Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher to murder his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins,
and then to take his own life. If there
is one saving grace in this travesty, at least his 3-month old daughter and her
grandmother escaped the carnage, alive to be counted among those questioning
his actions.
A lot of what I've read this morning is focused on the
suicide, the final words exchanged with head coach Romeo Crennel and general
manager Scott Pioli. The coverage is all about the "...starting
linebacker", how difficult it must be playing on team with the worst
record in the NFL, and how Belcher was a "...great, great, great, great
teammate". None of it very
surprising, all of it nauseating enough to make you want to burp, belch, and
puke.
Jovan Belcher was mad, plain and simple. We've all been there. We've all been spit-fire mad. Mad enough to beat the crap out of
someone. Mad enough, we imagine, to
kill. What saves us? A modicum of restraint. That's what.
We suck it up and get a hold of our emotions and hope to hell there
isn't a kitchen knife, frying pan, or lethal instrument at arm's length. Seems pretty clear to me. In the final analysis it wasn't anger management or a steroid induced rage. This probably, unwittingly, had more to do with the NFL gangsta mentality. Owning a piece is seemingly just part of the deal. Part of being a professional athlete.
This is probably over simplifying things a bit, but it's the gun, stupid. Plain and simple. Jovan Belcher went and got it.

Later, out of extreme regret and remorse, he ended it.

FEELIN' A LITTLE OUTERBANXIOUS IN WEEK 13
It 's week 13 in the NFL and I'm bummed that Big Ben has been ruled out for Sundays' game against Baltimore. Call it wishful thinking, especially given Ben's propensity for exaggerating the severity of some of his injuries, but I was hoping that he would see some playing time this week against Pittsburgh's hated AFC North rival.
In a year where the Pittsburgh Steelers are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, an early return by Roethlisberger's would have been the Christmas miracle of 2012. Especially THIS week. Instead, Pittsburgh Armchair Quarterbacks and fans of the Black & Gold will be watching Uncle Charlie and the Fumbling Wilburys instead.

I'm going to watch the train wreck in Baltimore, that is a given. Still, with unseasonably warm temperatures this weekend, I'm gonna be feelin' a little Outerbanxious too. (Had a great vacation in the Outer Banks this summer...).

ATLANTA FALCONS ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK GIFTS
The Atlanta Falcons continue to impress and just might win that precious first playoff game, especially if their fans can have an impact. Wednesday night some of the Atlanta faithfu, no doubt led by an Atlanta Armchair Quarterback, launched a good natured attack against the Saints team bus by throwing eggs at it at the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta. Tonight the team takes on the rival New Orleans Saints, armed with the knowledge that their fans are willing to take it to the next level.
Only time will tell whether the "Eggmen", which are apparently Atlanta's answer to the "12th Man" will be a factor. However, if you're an Atlanta Armchair Quarterback or have one on your Christmas list, you might want to check out these Atlanta Falcons inspired offerings.

ANDY REID INSPIRED DARTBOARD
The Philadelphia Eagles upset the football Gods by their blasphemous statements about being a "Dream Team", about being the NFL's next dynasty and a whole host of unholy indiscretions. Karma is a bitch, and apparently coach Andy Reid is fast becoming the next victim.

SAN FRANCISCO 49'ERS INSPIRED CLOCK & STUFF
The Kaepernick led San Francisco 49'ers beat the New Orleans Saints 31-21 on the road. Last week, #7 for the 49'ers shocked the legion of San Francisco Armchair Quarterbacks in a lopsided win over a very good Chicago Bears defense on "Monday Night Football". The second year QB was impressive again Sunday, even if the victory against the Saints was really made possible by two defensive touchdowns.
It isn't clear when Alex Smith will be cleared to play, but with games against the St Louis Rams and Miami Dolphins, it is conceivable that Colin Kaepernick can get the "W" in those games too. Yes sir, the Colin Kaepernick led San Francisco 49'ers... Now that phrase doesn't exactly roll of the tongue the way a "The Joe Montana led..." or "The Steve Young led San Francisco 49'ers..." does.

TERRIBLE TOWEL INSPIRED SHIRTS AND MORE
The Terrible Towel has claimed its latest victim; the Cleveland Browns marketing department. According to an article on NFL.com, the Browns have killed a promotion to hand out white flags to fans before today's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland Armchair Quarterbacks, as well as their more traditional fan base, complained that the white flags were symbolic of a surrender. The team reconsidered, and in deference to the throng of Terrible Towel waving fans expected to be in attendance, scrapped the idea. That at least is the official explanation. The truth is the Browns were simply acting out of fear of evoking any mystical, mythical, Ghost-of-Myron-Cope repercussions. Obviously this is something Ray Rice and the Baltimore Ravens ought to consider looking ahead into next week.
In any event, celebrate this latest testament to the power of the towel! There are a ton of items to choose from either at www.cafepress.com/fearthetowel or Zazzle.

UNIQUE NEW YORK GIANTS INSPIRED SHIRTS
The New York football GIANTS are the defending World Champions, yet you really don't hear much talk about them this year. There are a few explanations for this floating around the Professional Armchair Quarterback community. The fact that they play in the pathetic NFC East where the only other team showing signs of life are the RG III led Washington Redskins, where an 8-8 record (or worse) could very well win the division, is probably a major factor. The other explanation, and the one most widely accepted, is that Rex Ryan and the nightmare that is the New York JETS have been in the limelight ever since Eli Manning and the GIANTS turned the lights off on the last of their post-Super Bowl parties. Make no mistake, as dysfunctional as it is, ringmaster Rex Ryan and his three ring circus has been the darlings of the New York media, not the GIANTS.
You can change that, one t-shirt at a time. This holiday season, don't buy the same old official NFL merchandise. Instead, be an original. Get one of these unique offerings.
