Yes, no, no, emphantically yes.

I can say with some certainty that Delhomme will not cost us the game this week.

Only some certainty.

If the Chiefs can beat the Jets while facing the Giants, I'm going to be mighty surprised. As will Sean Payton.

/4-0-0 Saints!!

I can't even remember what my picks were for this weekend.

Does anyone know Welker's status for the Patriots' game v. the Ravens?

/Go Patriots!

Since I already screwed the pooch in the other thread, lets try this again, but right.

Hmmm, Cleveland vs the NFL's 16th ranked defense (Cincinasty)....

I would love to see Cleveland get shut out again on the TD front. They have two, count 'em, TWO TDs going into this game, and only one offensive TD at that (Brady Quinn TD pass in Week 1 and a kickoff or punt return in Week 2 I think). Awesome.

Anyone got some tylenol?

GO BRONCOS BEAT THE HATED, EVIL, SPAWNS OF SATAN COWBOYS!

/Yeah, that's gonna happen
//really, it could
///really...

Damn, forgot the ! after BRONCOS, off to work.

Neckbeard's gonna do it.

Some truly awesome games today. I'm psyched!!!

As much as I want the Broncos to win, it validates Douchewank McDaniels.

DamnYankees: Some truly awesome games today. I'm psyched!!!

And some truly truly awful ones too.

Gonna miss the thread today (last week of travel, woo!) but I'll be here tomorrow for Packers/Vikings. Got the headline all picked out and everything. :)

Have fun everyone. Enjoy watching the games while I'm jammed in to coach class all afternoon.

Now my comment seems silly. I swear it said Jets before.

good morning, everyone. I'll just say this right up front:

drew46n2: good morning, everyone. I'll just say this right up front:

Big week for the Cowboys IMO. I don't think anyone knows if this is a good team or a bad team or something in between. Facing an over-achiever like the Broncos on the road will be an interesting test.

Go Bears!

DamnYankees: I don't think anyone knows if this is a good team or a bad team or something in between.



i think they're a really good team with some really bad coaches. The play-calling Monday night was absolutely retarded.

*quietly mourning*

Next year, Kansas City. Next year...

Nice shot of Ditka getting makeup put on just now.

Dwayne Bowe: Active

Fun fact of the day:

JaMarcus Russell has a career 128.1 passer rating against the Houston Texans.

/who am I kidding, the guy stinks

Who's gonna look worse, the Pats offense against their first actual defensive test, or the defense and its lack of secondary getting lit up by Flacco?

Let's see if the Bills can beat what appears to be a Division II team today.

Do we have to pick one?

OK, I can't find anyone talking about this, so I'm not sure: is Brett Favre going to play against the Packers tomorrow night?

Finally back!!!

WES WELKER: ACTIVE!

drew46n2: WES WELKER: ACTIVE!

That is encouraging.

I was going to bench Brady in favor of David Gerrard this week. With Welker active, I'm changing my mind.

Kiribub: drew46n2: WES WELKER: ACTIVE!

That is encouraging.

Doubly so with Special Ed Joey out because of it....

jake_lex: OK, I can't find anyone talking about this, so I'm not sure: is Brett Favre going to play against the Packers tomorrow night?

That's the plan. Monday might be the only time ever in recorded history that I root for the packers.

Interesting piece on ESPN now about whether or not Daniel Snyder is the problem with the Redskins or not.

jake_lex: Interesting piece on ESPN now about whether or not Daniel Snyder is the problem with the Redskins or not.

ESPN and other major media outlets have a real hard time criticizing owners, and I guess it's because they worry about access and other such things. They'll spend all day debating players and coaches; most of the problems with bad franchises start and end at the ownership and GM position. It's refreshing to see this.

Derrick Ward is INACTIVE, so Caddy Williams is a good start if you have him.

Edelman in his place?

Breaking news! In honor of Brett Favre game-winning drive against the San Francisco Farvety-niners, the NFL has announced it is changing the spelling and pronunciation of the number "4", effective with Week Favre of the season. Week Favre will see Brett Favre attempt to lead his Vikings to a Favre-and-oh start. ESPN will be required to mention Brett Favre's name every favrety-favre seconds, and compliment his gun-slinging, fun-having, incredible self no less than favre hundred times on Monday Night Favreball.
It is expected that next week, the NFL will announce the new pronunciation of "5" as well.

This week's picks.

Survivor picks: 49ers vs STL; Colts vs SEA (save the Giants for the even more absurd gimme next week)
Best bets: Giants -9, Chargers +6.5

Someone gently needs to tell Jerry Jones he is not funny.

"I made the sequel, and the threequel. I just made that up, son."

Cadillac Williams or Donald Brown this week?
Ray Rice or Ahmad Bradshaw?

muck4doo: Cadillac Williams or Donald Brown this week?
Ray Rice or Ahmad Bradshaw?

I like Caddy, but Rice/ Bradshaw is more of a toss-up.

A little something to get people ready for tomorrow night:

drew46n2: muck4doo: Cadillac Williams or Donald Brown this week?
Ray Rice or Ahmad Bradshaw?

I like Caddy, but Rice/ Bradshaw is more of a toss-up.

I think I'll go with Caddy. I don't expect the Bucs to pass much this week.

it's a good play. Graham is banged up and Ward isn't playing.

What do you guys think about Brees against the Jets today?

My other option is Cutler, who is playing Detroit. Should be a good day for Cutler, but after last week I'm reluctant to play Brees, especially against the Jets D.

The #1 best example of this is the LA Clippers. Only Bill Simmons ever talks about Donald Sterling.

Giants back to Earth?

Are they playing above their heads or something? Who didn't think they'd be 3-0 at this point?

Brees was a big let-down last week, but he is a must-start every week he's playing. Don't over-think it.
