Epic Drop: Top 11 utterly unsurprising NFL developments

Today's list is inspired by today's NFL viewing. Funny how that works, isn't it?

As for the actual games today...

1) Why Jeff Fisher doesn't try a 50-yard field goal with Rob Bironas, wind or no wind... and if that is the case, why the fourth down play is a long pass... and Bironas had hit all day... well, yeesh. Terrible way to lose the #1 seed.

2) The Titans also lost Albert Haynesworth today. If that's a long-term injury, the Titans just became one of the least imposing top two seeds in NFL history.

3) Independent of who you were rooting for in the Ravens-Steelers game, it's a crappy way to end a great game, for the refs to give a touchdown judgment on replays that really didn't look conclusive. I was waiting to see the Steelers go for it on fourth down for the win, or to kick the field goal and have the game go to overtime... and instead, it's another Ravens screwjob by the refs. Both teams deserved better.

4) Leon Washington, on a per-touch basis, might be the best player in the NFL this year. He's just electric.

5) If there's a worse quarterback in the history of the NFL than J.P. Losman, I haven't seen him. Yes, I know, Bobby Hoying? Chris Weinke? David Carr? Give me Loserman over all of those guys. Four turnovers in the fourth quarter.

6) The fact that the Chargers are still alive in the playoff race is utterly amazing to me. Seriously, the West divisions need to be collapsed and reshuffled. I'd be OK with East and West Conferences, with eight-team divisions, and if you win the division, that's a bye, and everything else is wild carding. Add the South to the West in each conference, and solve this whole problem. Gah.

7) Jim Zorn seems just a *little* out of his depth now, don't you think, Redskins Fan?
