6. I think this is what I didn't like about Week 7:

a. The ugly caving-in of Matt Hasselbeck's right knee. What that portends is not good. You do not want Seneca Wallace running your offense for an extended period. I just don't think he's accurate enough to keep the Seattle offense going, especially when he's handing it to Maurice Morris for one more week.

b. The bewildered look on Joe Gibbs' face. Hard to believe the Gibbs experiment is going down in flames. Nearly as hard to believe: Gregg Williams' defense getting steamrolled every week. It gave up 452 yards, predictably, in Indy on Sunday.

c. Don't whine about the officiating, Jon Kitna. That's beneath you.

d. Have you ever seen a team sink like a stone faster than the Dolphins?

e. Carolina's offense is too up-and-down. Maybe it goes to show that the Panthers have lost too much on the offensive line to be consistently good, but the inconsistency of the passing game is maddening.

f. Arizona. Nice job, Denny. Demoting the Cards' offensive coordinator, then keeping him home. That's a harmonious way to run an NFL team.

g. Green is 12-27 atop the Cards. I can hear the coaching short list being formed in the Arizona front office.

7. I think these are stealth Patriots. When everyone was talking about what they've lost, they quietly went about integrating Laurence Maroney, Chad Jackson, Doug Gabriel and Ryan O'Callahan into the lineup. Maroney returned a kick 74 yards in Buffalo, setting up a touchdown. Jackson and Gabriel caught touchdown passes, and O'Callahan, a rookie from Cal starting his sixth game at right tackle, played another solid game. The Pats are 5-1, 3-0 on the road. They've allowed only 16 points a game. They're the old man river of the NFL.

8. I think the Eagles fan, already a tortured soul, must be really feeling it today. Imagine being tied 24-24, tied 24-24 and up 21-20, with 10 seconds left three times in the past month -- and losing every one of those games on the last play of the game.

9. I think Brady Quinn ought to be very, very worried. The more he makes these stirring fourth-quarter comebacks, the more it's assured some team like Oakland or Detroit or Green Bay is going to get him high in the first round of the draft. If I were him, knowing the alternatives, I'd be rooting for the Lions. I still can't believe the Lions and the Raiders passed on Matt Leinart.

10. I think these are my non-football thoughts of the week:

a. Do not just pooh-pooh this question. Consider the greatness of the play and its historical significance. Which was a better catch: Willie Mays' back-to-the-plate robbery of Vic Wertz in the 1954 World Series or Endy Chavez's leaping snow-cone, over-the-fence home-run-stealer of a Scott Rolen drive Thursday night? I say the Chavez catch. HBO poohbah and Mets maven Brian Hyland says that might be going too far, but I agree with his general perception when he put it this way: "Considering what was at stake, it was the most significant clutch catch in the history of baseball.''

The Mays catch came in the eighth inning of a 2-2 contest, Game 1 of the '54 Series against Cleveland at the Polo Grounds, with Larry Doby on second base in a game the Giants would go on to win 5-2.

The Chavez catch came in the sixth inning of a 1-1 game, Game 7 of the National League Championship Series, with Jim Edmonds on first base in a game the Cards would go on to win 3-1. Chavez caught the ball while leaping against the left-field fence, the ball somehow staying in his glove while the glove slid perilously close to flying off Chavez's hand, and Chavez had the presence of mind to hit the cutoff man with a peg to the infield and double Edmonds off first.

The Mays catch came in the first game of a best-of-seven series, a series the Giants would sweep in four games. The Chavez catch preserved a tie in the sixth inning of a winner-take-the-pennant, and I believe it was a significantly more difficult catch.

That ought to start some good arguments.

b. Baseball is the weirdest game sometimes, and ridiculously compelling. The Mets were the best team in the National League all season, and they got their second and third wins in the National League Championship Series behind starters Oliver Perez and John Maine, respectively. Perez and Maine started 22 of the Mets' 162 games this year. Perez was 3-13 this year for the Pirates and Mets and spent two months in Triple A. Maine was a throw-in to the Kris Benson trade, a guy the Mets hoped might be a good Triple A arm and maybe someday a marginal major-league starter. In Games 6 and 7, they allowed one run in 11 1/3 innings. It may say as much about the futility of the Cardinals lineup, but Maine and Perez are the baseball versions of Damon Huard and Bruce Gradkowski.

c. Dumbest managerial move of the postseason: Willie Randolph sending up stale, injured and unable-to-bunt Cliff Floyd to pinch-hit with runners on first and second and no one out in the bottom of the ninth of Game 7, with the Mets down 3-1 and contact hitters Jose Reyes and Paul Lo Duca to follow. The only play there was to bunt the runners to second and third, but Floyd, looking old and ill-prepared, struck out looking. Just absurd.

d. How do you not love the Detroit Tigers?

e. Coffeenerdness: There is officially a better drink than the triple grande hazelnut latte at Starbucks: the triple grande half-maple (two pumps of maple flavor instead of four) latte. It might be the best drink on Earth. Then again, I might change my mind.

f. You know there's been a shift in the tectonic plates when, while working a bit Saturday night, I chose the fourth quarter of Rutgers-Pitt over the opening of the World Series. I even survived Andre (I Never Met a Cliché I Didn't Like) Ware and made it through the ESPN2 telecast.

g. Very, very good football game, Rutgers beating Pitt 20-10. On back-to-back fourth-quarter drives, Pitt's Tyler Palko, down 10, made an all-time highlight-reel scramble-and-TD-throw to Oderick Turner, Odessa Turner's son (now there's a name from the past) ... and then Ray Rice ran three times for 85 yards in two minutes, and the Knights had their insurance.

h. Rutgers is 7-0. Let's play fantasy football for a minute. UConn next week at home: 8-0. Louisville on a Thursday night, Nov. 9, at home. Since we're fantasizing, give Rutgers the upset win over the Cardinals: 9-0. At Cincinnati (not a gimme) and Syracuse at home the next two weeks: 11-0. Then Dec. 2, at West Virginia. Follow me for a minute. Let's say Ohio State beats Michigan, and either Oregon, Cal or Notre Dame beat USC in November. Let's say West Virginia gets to the end of November 11-0. Imagine, as December dawns, there are three unbeaten, untied teams in college football: Ohio State, West Virginia and Rutgers. Rutgers and West Virginia could be -- could be -- playing in Morgantown for the right to play for the national championship.

i. Hey, I said it was fantasy football.

j. No-Duh Headline of the Week: From NFL.com: "Torry Holt Arguably One of the Best in the Game.''

k. Wow. Did you see what Pat Tillman's brother Kevin, who served with Pat with the U.S. Army Rangers in Afghanistan, wrote in criticizing the United States' war effort? Kevin Tillman, you've got guts.

l. Frank Caliendo is as good at NFL comedy as Bill Belichick is at NFL coaching.

m. Stay in the studio on Sundays, Fox. Your show is three times better inside than outside.

Who I Like Tonight, and I Mean Tony Kornheiser

Amazing. No matter what they do, the Giants and the Cowboys can't match the drama of the Arizona Cardinals and the Chicago Bears last Monday. I like Dallas, 27-20, but it won't be easy. Drew Bledsoe's going to get slaughtered by the Giants' pass rush that put down Mike Vick seven times last week. I'd like the Giants tonight if Tiki could control this game, but I don't see it, not with the Cowboys allowing a league-low 67 rushing yards per contest.
