yes, no, maybe, good question.

Yeah, why is that?

It's possible. It's possible. No, more on that later. Because it's turning into a damn cliche. We won't have the answers until we watch the games-any given Sunday and all that jazz.

/I hate this whole thing we have where "NOW IS THE MOST EVER!!!" It's a media driven thing (for more: buy Drew's book). In this case, the general feeling I get is that we have like 8 teams that all are epically horrible. NFL record-breaking levels of talentlessness horrible-all right here in 2009. I suspect if you polled several members of the media they would be convinced that the Lions, Rams, Chiefs, Bucs, Redskins, Raiders, Bills, and Browns are all among the top 10 worst teams ever-like it would be these current 8 teams, the expansion Bucs, and the 2008 Lions. We have 8 teams right now that edge out all-time paragons of suckiness in people's mind. Quality teams like the 1-15 Eagles, the winless expansion Bucs, the 2-14 '92 Seahawks that could only beat the 2-14 Patriots (twice!), or the Colts the year before they got Peyton Manning. The NFL has always had its share of bad teams, a few 2-14 or 3-13 teams every year, and they're bad. I don't think the inept teams we have now are any worse than the inept teams of seasons past. They'll look absolutely awful most of the season and 2-5 times this year they'll get to play another bad team and they'll win, or they'll rise up and bite someone in the ass who wasn't expecting it and win that way. Washington so far has been the poster child for NFL mediocrity/parity. They've beaten the bad teams (except Detroit) and lost to the good ones and all of their games have been close. The only teams that has looked mind-numbingly, epically awful is the Rams who have only been able to stay within 20 when playing the Redskins and the Browns who managed to win in what will probably go down as the crapfest of the year.

/Okay, screed off.

D'yall hear Jerry said I was safe fer the year? And I got the week off! YUK YUK YUK

whoa! that was the longest post ever!

Fantasy question for the Fark experts - I have room for one more receiver to start today and a chance between Santana Moss (vs Kansas City) and Derrick Mason (vs Minnesota).

Skol Vikings

GO Cards!! Beat the seahags!

As much as I'd love the Titans to start, you know, playing defense and knock off NE, it isn't going to happen. We're going to 0-6.

I hate you for making me break my policy against starting any redskin, but I really don't like Baltimore against Minn. Besides, K.C. gave up 250 yards to Miles Austin, so I'd gamble on what Moss will do.

robsul82: GEAUX

We're gonna have to agree to disagree today, my friend. Not that I don't think the Saints have a great chance to win, but I'd really rather they didn't.

Week 6 Predictions
This season: 52-24 straight; 42-34 ATS; 11-4 best bets
This week's best bets: JAX -9.5; CLE +14; DEN +3.5
This week's survivor picks: PHI, NE.

Oh, no worries. Trust me, I'm on pins and needles myself, not really confident which way it'll go.

Keyshawn is incredibly stupid. He doesn't even leave any doubt.

Anybody heard anything definite about Calvin Johnson?

Something I'm curious about this week: the Bengals should beat the Texans, but can they finally dominate a team? I'd love to see them put a team away early.

GIANTS!!

Also, fantasy football question: Big Ben against the Browns or Matt Schaub against Cincy?

Why are sports threads always a series of questions?alonzinator: Those and other questions on the next episode of Soap!

heh

jake_lex: Something I'm curious about this week: the Bengals should beat the Texans, but can they finally dominate a team? I'd love to see them put a team away early.

I honestly believe this is the week things start falling apart for the Bengals. They've been living on borrowed time.

he's OUT.

Yes, I would laugh my ass off , good question...

And that's the other possibility with this team. I don't think I've ever had such doubt about a 4-1 team.

You know what I hate?

"So and so is out with a knee"

Out with a knee!? Did he take it out to dinner, or maybe the movies? How hard is it to add "injury" to that farkING SENTENCE?

I think it started in the NFL and made its way to other sports. I'm going to punch whoever started it.

Because of the Bills absolutely farking horrible start* to the season and Ralphie's refusal to let go of his little Dick I am now a Jets fan.

GO JETS!

*i'm aware that they always suck but it hasn't been this bad in a long time

10min_game_misconduct: FreakinB: GIANTS!!

Have to go Ben. Schaub will have a good day too tho. You are in a no lose situation I think. :)

Yeah I have this same decision every week and really I haven't been able to go wrong. The funny thing is I picked Warner to be my starter and I haven't used him in weeks.

milkandcheese: FreakinB: GIANTS!!

Also, fantasy football question: Big Ben against the Browns or Matt Schaub against Cincy?

Big Ben cause Browns suck

Yeah I know, but Cinci hasn't been good against the pass and the Texans have been an air show. Hence my dilemma.

As we said before, don't think I can go wrong either way.

Browns over Steelers, I'm callin' it.
