As Seen on TV--Sunday Edition

Here are a few quick thoughts about Saturday's Wild Card games.

Felix Jones is as advertised.  The guy can play, funny that he is going to wind up being better than his college teammate, Darren McFadden.  Anyway, the strangest thing about the game was the absence of Marion Barber.  Apparently he was nursing a bit of a knee injury, and once the game basically started, it was clear to all that a repeat of last week (i.e. a blowout) was in the works, and the Cowboys just didn't need him.  I was especially surprised that Choice got the goal line work, but, if Barber was banged up, I guess that made sense.  If you want to know how this effects next season's backfield, I'd bet Jones is going to get 75 percent of the work between the 20s and Barber will be the vulture.

Brian Westbrook is finished.  If the Eagles give him zero carries in a playoff game, that tells us all we need to know.  I'd feel a little bit better if LeSean McCoy would show us something.  We've been waiting for weeks.

Donovan McNabb was horrible again.  Granted, it is very hard to play the position when Demarcus Ware starts every snap in your backfield (that was a tremendous Bryant McKinnie impersonation from Jason Peters last night, btw.  Guess who gets Ware next week?  McKinnie!).  Still, doesn't it seem like every season ends with McNabb playing poorly and people wondering if he'll be back in Philly?

Shonn Greene's performance isn't that surprising.  I saw enough of him at Iowa (and some this year) to tell me he is a player.  Thomas Jones has one year left on his deal.

Has Darrelle Revis moved to the point where he is altering draft boards next year?  You may want to think about who plays against the Jets in weeks 14-16 when you are drafting.

Where do we rank Carson Palmer next year?  Outside of the top 20?  I assume the Bengals will be trying to upgrade at WR this offseason.

Cheers,
