I M SO SMRT / I M NOT SO SMRT: Week 3

couldn't we do this in the already-existing week 3 thread?

Probably; but that's a pretty chatty thread. Mod can close and I'll paste it in there though.

it might be a good new feature, maybe, i dunno. i'd think most people would want their bad picks to die with that week's thread, maybe. heh.

Like there's a limit on threads? All in all, this is a pretty low-action board anyway.

i'm just talkin'. it's all up to our overlord allyzay. she's still admin, right?

Arizona vs Baltimore → BAL
Thank you, Matt Stover. Me love you long time.

Buffalo vs New England → PATS
Even with the early Lynch TD, I wasn't ever too worried.

Detroit vs Philadelphia → DET? Looks that way.
I was wrong. The Philly throwback unis must be made out of some super-fiber from Krypton.

Indianapolis vs Houston → IND (was tempted to go with HOU in a shocker, but Johnson's knee if fucked)
Schaub sure does look good, though. Come back AJ!

Miami vs N.Y. Jets → Ugh, who knows. NYJ?
Ugly game, ugly win.

Minnesota vs Kansas City → MIN
Can a brother get a QB up in here?

San Diego vs Green Bay → GB
Brett Favre sure looked like he was having fun today.

San Francisco vs Pittsburgh → PIT
Alex Smith and his receivers act like co-workers who had sex at the Christmas party...no talking, no touching.

St. Louis vs Tampa Bay → TB
St. Louis is in SERIOUS trouble.

Cincinnati vs Seattle → CIN
Who cares.

Cleveland vs Oakland → CLE
Sorry Browns fans, I was pulling for you.

Jacksonville vs Denver → DEN
So what if the Jags won. Del Rio is still a moron.

Carolina vs Atlanta → CAR
I hope Delhomme's okay. Carr is the kiss of death.

N.Y. Giants vs Washington → WAS
Well, I didn't think the Giants would go winless, but Week 3 was earlier than expected.

Dallas vs Chicago → DAL
LOL @ Berrs.

just make this a rolling thread for all weeks and not just week three.

Sunday, Sep. 23
Arizona vs Baltimore → 'zona
they made it close anyway, 0-1.

Buffalo vs New England → PATS
no comment necessary, 1-1.

Detroit vs Philadelphia → philly. detroit reverts to form, "they are who we thought they were", etc.
i didn't think the reverting to form would be whiplash-inducing but they are who we they've always been, 2-1.

Indianapolis vs Houston → texans.
i almost changed this but didn't. oh well.2-2

Miami vs N.Y. Jets → j-e-s-t-s jests, jests, JESTS.
in a battle of two inept teams, i always take the inept team that slept in their own bed the night before, 3-2.

Minnesota vs Kansas City → minnesota. kc is lucky they don't have appalachian state on their schedule or else this year could be real embarrassing.
oy, the bears should be thannkful minnesota is in the division, 3-3.

San Diego vs Green Bay → chargers. favre is due for one of those patented "6 interception throwing off his back foot because he's sick of getting hit" games.
completely wrong about favre, san diego looks fucked. ldt throwing a tantrum on the sideline was hilarious. he looks like a petulant baby. 3-4.

San Francisco vs Pittsburgh → pittsburgers.
48ers seem to be getting better? 4-4.

St. Louis vs Tampa Bay → tampa. why the fuck did they name the team after the water?
st. louis is angling for a high draft pick. 5-4.

Cincinnati vs Seattle → seattle
cincinnati has the stink of an unfocused team. 6-4.

Cleveland vs Oakland → clevo
fuck, that hurts. 6-5.

Jacksonville vs Denver → denver
i shit the bed on this one, i didn't want to take them and i did. 6-6.

Carolina vs Atlanta → carolinus
7-6

N.Y. Giants vs Washington → i'd like to predict a tie but instead i predict warshngton.
time to take the keys away from joe gibbs. 7-7.

Dallas vs Chicago → dallas. bears offense is beyond fugly at this point.
i got one right. 8-7

Monday, Sep. 24
Tennessee vs New Orleans → tennessee

not a very good week. though i did want to lay some $$$ down and tease the pats and arizona, i would have covered both those games.

i hate unnecessary threads cuz of how fucking impossible ilx searches are now~~

i am right about everything ever so i am not going to participate in this public debasement~

It's too late, as you've already participated.

posting in the thread is not the same as addressing the subject within, you blubbering rube

then why didn't you say that?

that's re: am not going to participate.

Losers List:

Miami - The game came out pretty close, I didn't figure that Pennington was going to play.

Minnesota - Close game, I guess the Viking offense must really be about as cruddy as KC.

Cleveland - They need to change that field goal/timeout rule. Raiders and Browns both seem to be improved.

Cincy - The Bengals special teams suck, first you blow the kickoff and give the Seahawk's the ball at the 40. They score and then you muff the kick off return and don't even let your asskickin' offense even have a shot. Peyton Manning would not put up with that scratch, just ask Vanderjagt.

Denver - This must have been the good J-ville this week. It doesn't matter to me, I still think the Broncos have much more chance of making the playoffs than the Jags. If the Jags are playing Atlanta, they will be a team to lose to them.

Washington - Giants' defense came out big. Who knew?

Only the Denver game was not real tight, so things could have gone either way. I should give the home team a bit more credit.

Arizona vs Baltimore - it seems so obvious that the Ravens should win this, but i can't see how their offense will score enough to win the game.
Buffalo vs New England - if this Bills team went 0-16 i wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Detroit vs Philadelphia - this will be a high score game. Eagles will make home advantage count.
Indianapolis vs Houston - Houston are getting there, but they aren't ready for the Colts yet, esp without AJ.
Miami vs N.Y. Jets - as unlikely as it sounds, i thought the Jets were OK against Baltimore. i think they'll take this fairly comfortably.
Minnesota vs Kansas City - Vikings look good, Chiefs look terrible.
San Diego vs Green Bay - Packers have to lose some for their inevitable 8-8 finish, so it might as well start here.
San Francisco vs Pittsburgh - this will confirm Steelers as contenders and Niners as also-rans.
St. Louis vs Tampa Bay - Rams aren't making plays on crunch downs and Bucs are playing well. close one, but TB takes it.
Cincinnati vs Seattle - Another QB might throw this by trying too much after Bengals' last showing, but Hass. is a pretty cautious guy.
Cleveland vs Oakland - the Browns otoh might well try too much. i think Raiders will edge this.
Jacksonville vs Denver - Denver wins, no TDs.
Carolina vs Atlanta - Falcons are so far behind in this game that they'll probably end up winning it. then again, probably not.
N.Y. Giants vs Washington - not a good game for NYG to get their first win. i think they'll go close, but 'Skins will win.
Dallas vs Chicago - Cowboys D will make Rexy look good and Bears rush will get to Romo.
Tennessee vs New Orleans - Saints will outscore Titans for the win.

9 (NE, Philly, Indy, Jets, Pitts, TB, Seattle, Oaks, Car)
7 (Zona, Minn, GB, Jacks, Giants, Dall, NO)

Calling the Jets, Bucs and Raiders wins was some consolation for a poor week. I'm pissed that I fell into the trap of underrating the Jags (albeit along with everyone else) and overestimating the Chargers defence, who tried to get all up in Favre's George Foreman as expected but failed to knock him out of his rythym. I can't feel bad about not predicting how shitty the Redskins would play in that 2nd half, and the Saints continue to baffle me.
