Just another predictably unpredictable week. Wondering if Wade Phillips — while he is still employed — and Tom Coughlin will be hitting the same therapists to discuss diva wide receivas. And wonder if Roy Williams brought the Curse of Motown with him to the Cowboys. At least, Dan Orlovsky knew what to do this week when he was backed up to his own end zone?

The New York Post is reporting that Coughlin and Plaxico Burress apparently got into it as the Giants left the field after their 29-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The trade deadline is gone so what will the Giants do with the malcontent WR? And can’t he just learn to behave given all the bucks Big Blue threw his way?

Meanwhile, Brett Favre or no Brett Favre, Jets fans know their team is their team. How about going into Oakland, staggering for 60 minutes. Getting a reprieve when Tom Cable calls time when Jay Feely hits the upright with a field goal, allowing Feely to hit the game-tying kick and force OT. However, in a game that seemed destined for deadlock Sebastian Janikowski hits a 57-yard field goal to give Oakland a 16-13 victory. That makes two straight weeks a coach has been bitten by calling time before a field-goal attempt. Ken Whisenhunt had the same thing happen to him before Arizona downed Dallas last week.

Speaking of the Cowboys, Brad Johnson had a rough go of it as the amazingly resurgent St. Louis Rams are showing signs of being the Greatest Show on Turf in Missouri. Now that the Tigers have lost two straight and Jim Haslett has the Rams going in the right direction. Could Scott Linehan have been the problem? Steven Jackson erupted for a buck-sixty and three TDs as the Rams added to Dallas’ woes. The Roy Williams confusion problems are over as the safety broke his arm and is done for the season.

The Houston Texans, meanwhile, have won two in a row after dropping the Detroit Lions despite Dan Orlovsky’s 96-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Johnson.  Matt Schaub was surgeon-like, going 26-of-31 as Houston took advantage of the gift of playing Detroit.

The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears used to be known for defensive battles. On Sunday, they had a track meet with the Bears surviving, 48-41. What did they think this was, a Big 12 game? Kyle Orton threw for 283 and a pair of TDs as the Bears outlasted the Vikes.

The Tennessee Titans are undefeated. The Kansas City have Tony Gonzalez, a mound of woes and a t oubled Larry Johnson. A Johnson that did have a good day was Chris Johnson, who combined with LenDale White to tear up the Arrowhead turf and the Chiefs as the Titans rolled to 6-0. Talk about shocking.

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals, as does everyone. Will have more on the Steelers next week when Plaxico comes back with the Giants … if he isn’t suspended again. The Bengals suffered another loss as first-round pick Keith Rivers broke his jaw when blocked by Hines Ward.

Our SEC theory stands proud as the Carolina Panthers drilled the New Orleans Saints, who have bigger problems. Reggie Bush will have arthroscopic surgery after injuring the miniscus in his left knee. He could be out 3-4 weeks.

The Green Bay Packers have won two in a row and the Indianapolis Colts still haven’t found their stride. Ryan Grant had a 100-yard day and Aaron Rodgers did what he had to do as the Packer "D" harassed Peyton Manning into an average game with two picks. Wonder how much the knee procedures are still affecting Manning. And Bob Sanders is the heart of the team.

The Buffalo Bills are for real and the San Diego Chargers are showing the consistent inconsistency that has plagued the Colts and Patriots (they have an excuse). Trent Edwards was accurate as can be — going 25-of-30 — as the Bills survived the Chargers and power failures at Ralph Wilson Stadium, LaDainian Tomlinson had 14 carries for 41 yards. What has happened to him and the Chargers?

The Baltimore Ravens may not win a championship this season, but they have found their quarterback for the present and future in Joe Flacco. The Ravens snapped a three-game slide as they doused the Miami Dolphins. Flacco was 17-of-23 for 232, not bad for someone playing at Delaware last season.

The Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns played ugly. Clinton  Portis got going for 175 yards and Washington came away with the "W." Derek Anderson came apart here, throwing for 136 yards.

How long will it be before NBC seeks to push Sunday night kickoff back 30 minutes because it realizes no one watches that vaunted and overcrowded pregame because people are busy watching football games that are finishing? The other game in Tampa is ongoing. Somehow, Seahawks-Bucs isnt as compelling as Red Sox-Rays Game Seven. Big day in Tampa. Who said Super Sunday was in February of 2009 in Florida?
