Lions and Bills at 3-0. ..Something is not right about that.
It's awesome.
Can someone tell me what the hell is wrong with the Dirty Birds?
Man I would have had a perfect first set of picks if the Pats hadn't coughed it up...
C'mon TB, you're supposed to be a 2nd half team, stop ATL's comeback. That OAK FG probably seals it against the Jet's comeback attempt.
EDIT: That's better. And I knew SEA had it in them.

NO - Sproles tore it up. Great shootout.
PHI - wtf Philly.
CAR -Turned out to be a monsoon but Carolina won anyway.
NE - HAHAHAHAHAHAH I'm fine with this.
CLE - Stupid Phins. I hope Sporano and Ireland lose their jobs. You suck.
SF
TEN -Tennessee beat the Ravens.
DET - Last minute clutch catch in overtime. HAIL LORD MEGATRON
6/8
BAL - Beats up on STL for that loss against Tenn. And this is what happened.
NYJ - J E T S SUCK SUCK SUCK
SD - LOL SD.
ARI - Both these teams are baaaaaaaad.
ATL - Tampa took it.
GB - Jay Cutler must be singing, "if only I had a line... and my receivers had hands."
PIT- Indy really was built around Manning. Never before has it been more obvious. The Steelers have issues though.
WAS- Dallas keeps making me the fool with this last minute comeback crap. Soon as I pick them watch me be wrong.
4/8
10/16

8-6 for the starting and middle games. If DAL can pull it off, and IND doesn't suddenly wake up, then I should be able to finish same as last week.
I knew if I picked against the Packers they'd win in Chicago. I hate watching them play the Bears because it's always turns into a sloppy mess (it was today again on many levels). A win is a win though.
I was right about Oakland over the Jets. Too bad I missed on just about everything else.
I had to work today, so I missed most of the action. I can't even begin to tell you, though, how shocked I was when I found out that the Bills beat the Patriots. Boy howdy!!!
I think what impressed me the most about the Bills was their resolve when they got down 21-0 early. They didn't panic, they made plays on offense in pressure situations and they made Brady look pedestrian with the 4 INTs. I'm not saying they'll win the AFC East or anything, but they're going to cause a lot of problems around the AFC, and if things fall their way, they might have a shot at a wild card berth if they continue to play smart football.I had to work today, so I missed most of the action.

Wowwwwwwww...
I think I need a Zantac after that one. Huge props to the Colts defense. I knew Freeney and Mathis were good, and they absolutely terrorized the Steelers' tackles. But I was blown away by the speed of the linebackers to the hole whenever Roethlisberger handed off the ball. The Steelers' run offense was putrid against that front seven, and it forced Ben to expose himself to that pass rush far too often. Meanwhile, the Steelers offensive linemen were dropping like flies. Rookie tackle Marcus Gilbert had to come back in for Jonathan Scott on the last drive after being pulled out with a shoulder injury.
Fortunately for the Steelers, they made just enough plays to keep themselves in the game despite their mistakes and despite some inspired play by the Colts defense. But they have to feel like they dodged a bullet. The Steelers absolutely need to find some stability at offensive line. They made it to the Super Bowl last year with an ever-changing cast in front of Ben, but they were still able to generate a respectable rushing attack. As good as Ben and these young receivers are, they do not have the pass protection to turn into the Patriots, Packers, or Saints. It's hard to say what the Steelers' identity is going to be this season. Fortunately, there's still a lot of the season left to play.

The other good news is that Big Ben is a giant and more durable than the vast majority of QBs. I say that he's probably the only QB that could survive behind, say, Chicago's O line.
10-6 again this week with the Steelers and Cowpokes barely pulling off their victories.
Dallas winning with a lung punctured rib cage fractured Romo
And a center who served up four bad snaps and young receivers who didn't know the routes. I feel that by virtue of being the Dallas quarterback Romo has generally gotten more attention from the press than any player deserves, both good and bad, but his performance last night truly was amazing and fully deserving of the superlatives the Monday Night crew heaped on him.
Okay, let's take a look at the week's tally:

I think Park deserves special honors if he can keep this streak going.
Actually, picking a loser every week may be even harder than picking a winner every week, because if you're picking winners, you can pick against a couple bad teams week after week.
As always, let me know if I screwed up!
