Here are the random thoughts of Week 6 in the NFL:

– Joe Horn must read The Scores Report, because after I wrote last week that he just isn’t that good anymore – he slapped me in the face John L. Smith style in catching six passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles.

– Anybody that says Michael Vick keeps regressing as a passer is absolutely right. But while you’re divvying out blame for his passing inaccuracies, you better throw some blame at his lack of pass protection and the wide receivers inability to catch the ball too.

– This is your captain speaking: the Panthers bandwagon is clear for takeoff again.

– Anybody hear Chris Rose (Best Damn Sports Show) doing in game highlights yesterday on FOX? When Steve McNair left with a concussion during the Ravens-Panthers game, he made a sarcastic remark on how Kyle Boller basically sucks. Then he spent the rest of the afternoon doing in game highlights on Boller’s three touchdown passes. Ass…

– Torry Holt’s concentration is amazing and while I’m on the subject: Marc Bulger to Holt might be as pretty as Peyton Manning to Marvin Harrison.

– I laughed when I saw Giants CB Sam Madison wave his finger at the Atlanta fans for a good three minutes after a pass break up yesterday. I laughed because Madison has been used and abused like a grease rag for most of the season by opposing offenses – yet he acts like a hero after one pass break up. He also got blown up on a block by 5’8” Warrick Dunn that sprung Michael Vick for TD in the first half have the Giants-Falcons game.

– After two sharp outings by Bucs rookie QB Bruce Gradkowski, Chris Simms’ stomach (and soon his wallet) must hurt as much as his ruptured spleen does.

– Somebody please fill out a missing persons report on Bengals RB Rudi Johnson.

– The best receiver in the league right now is in Detroit. Roy Williams has been phenomenal for the Lions this season.

– New Orleans rookie head coach Sean Payton is thinking the game as well as any Super Bowl-winning coach in the NFL right now. Instead of trying for a touchdown from the Eagles nine-yard line yesterday with the score tied 24 all, Payton tells QB Drew Brees to take three kneels to run out the clock. Instead of giving any kind of a comeback chance to Donovan McNabb, Payton ran out the clock – but not before kicker John Carney nailed a 31-yard field goal as time expired to send the Saints to a 5-1 record heading into the BYE week.

– Let me throw out Travis Henry’s rushing totals the past two games: 51 carries, 301 yards, 6.0 yards a crack and one touchdown.

– Here’s one more from stat boy: Ben Roethlisberger’s TD to INT ratio before the Pittsburgh game against Kansas City was 0:7. After the Chiefs game: 2:7. Okay, so it wasn’t that big of a stat, but obviously the guy is starting to get back on track.

– Did anybody else think that Al Davis looked like Skeletor from He-Man on Sunday night?

– Speaking of “Just win baby” I hear Davis watches more game film than anyone in the NFL. He must have to have a garbage bin readily available while watching Raiders games incase he throws up at some point.
