Unless Cincy fires Marvin Lewis (I think everyone in our division is happy that, somehow, he gets rehired each year) I'm pretty sure your division lead is insurmountable. The Steelers are a bad team this year and the Browns have been terrible since they won the Super Bowl in 01', when they pretended to be from Baltimore. There was one former Brown on the roster when the f**kin BALTIMORE RAVENS won the Super Bowl,and that was Stover.They ceased to be the Browns in 96. I know what it feels like to lose a beloved hometown football team,so I sympathize with Cleveland.You have no idea what it's like MoM,so cut the crap.But they only had to wait 3 years,got a new team,kept their colors and their records and all that good sh*t.If you're from Cleveland,be pissed at the Modell's or your own city for not building a new stadium,not the people from Baltimore/Maryland.

Aiight you win bro.
Not sure how I lose a joke (especially when I said right then it wasn't serious) but take the win my man.
You'll need it to make up for the Steelers!
I did find it ironic that you are mr oh relax Im just joking, but flew a little off the handle


OK enough of that, I am more confident this week. G Men seem to love beating Dallas in their monstrosity, erm home and Dallas really isn't impressing at all.
Buuuuut it's the Giants so watch us lose miserably, never rule it out!

Play all ya want, we all know you are a bitter misanthrope MoM.

Now who's ready for some f**kin Bucc on Viking action?
oh, this game isn't poised to be very good at all?
Well damn

Well at least I picked a football team that was on the field...

Oh those Giants...constant heart attacks. But a win is a win.

Yeah the Angel is named Tony Romo
To be honest I didn't think all those picks were his doing, how about some credit to the Giants defense??
Admittedly that Bryant catch was more or less a TD but rules are the rules and technically he was out. If the situation was reversed I'd be peeved as hell but you can't really argue it.


N'arlins got spanked silly in Denver. I can't explain why this defense is so atrocious. Either their mindset has been shot or they cant play without trying to hurt people

Arizona/San Fran hopefully won't be too good a game because I will certainly miss it thanks to Sandy. Unless something crazy happens I can't see the game being anything besides the Niners D shredding their O line and John Skelton gets hammered worse than our shoreline.

I will admit, while I didn't decide a record I was with you on the Chiefs MoM. No idea why people thought they'd be good.
I was never sold on Cassel, and his play seems to be regressing, despite the same basic offense and great protection.

I don't like Charles either. Small backs...eh. The whole 2 yard, 1 yard, 2 yard, 15 yard thing isn't really my style. Also eventually a few teams will snuff out the big plays leaving you with just a poor game. He may end up with great numbers and some epic plays but I'll take the more solid type back any day.

Anyway MoM: G men/Steelers time. This one has so me clueless I don't even know. Who the hell never knows that the Giants will give you and the Steelers are down this year, especially on D. Of course ours sucks, so yeah...no idea. Guess it'll be a close/ugly game or a close/shootout. Both teams have a knack for making WTF HOW!? wins so I only pick the Giants since I'm a fan

Word is not one person working the game will be diverted from the relief effort, and I hope its true. I love my Big Blue but it'd be disgusting to take anyone away from helping after Sandy. That area of Jersey did get hit bad too.

Both teams have a knack for making WTF HOW!? wins so I only pick the Giants since I'm a fan   All I know is that Eli will have a big statistical day.  No secondary and no pass rush may have worked with drop-happy Washington and Marvin-Lewis-happy Cincy but I don't see it working in NY.  My hope is that Haley continues using a gameplan that takes the pressure off that o-line and that Dwyer is healthy. Word is not one person working the game will be diverted from the relief effort, and I hope its true. I love my Big Blue but it'd be disgusting to take anyone away from helping after Sandy. That area of Jersey did get hit bad too.   I'd be ok with the refs leaving .  The Steelers are being classy about their travel situation but I'm not a fan of them arriving in town just a couple hours before kickoff.  Then again, they've been such a bad road team, this year, it doesn't seem like it could hurt.

Oh I agree MoM, Charles has major talent, just the type of back isn't my preference.
Like I said, always boom/bust which is why he needs 30 carries.

Eh we've already beaten that horse to death, even I am tired of whining about the Pats system, as annoying as it is.
I look to pre 07. In a much more traditional offense Brady was a very good, though unspectacular QB. And he never really had any wideouts. Their "star" was Deion Branch! He also has a great pocket presence. I give the Pats system flak but I can't really knock Brady. Cassel sucks

Agreed man, the Steelers are a classy organization and I give em huge kudos for not making an issue of the travel thing. They'd also be killed if they made comments like that publicly but still, how many players would do just that?
I do think the game shoulda been moved, but oh well.

the regular refs blow dude lol the replacements were worse but man, last year we wanted all the refs sent away lol. Was wondering how long before we remembered"oh yeah they are pretty crap" I admit that call was bullsh*t, bens arm was going forward. That was incomplete not a fumble. But hey its happened to all of us. Hope we win big so that call doesn't matter
