what, orakpo but no london fletcher!? really disappointed.

yea that is a good gripe imo

i was hopin ced benson would make it

re: fletcher, too many guys are better than him :/

I figure Al Davis would probably believe Yahoo Sports on this, but he probably doesn't know about "The Internet" yet.

This is pretty great:

I woke up Monday morning steaming about that game, and half way expected to flip on the news and see Indianapolis had been burned to the ground by rioting fans. (Missed all the earlier chatter on here about it, due to being out of town and all.)

@SI_RossTucker Just ran into and met Joe Montana in line for "The Incredible Hulk" coaster at Universal in Orlando.

MIA > PIT
MIN > NYG
ATL > TB
NO > CAR
NE > HOU
PHI > DAL
DEN > KC
BAL > OAK
AZ > GB

10-6 week again, 165-75 season

lolz 4eva at "avatard"

Indy at Bills- I think after last weeks debacle the Colts will somehow win this one. No matter what they do from here out, laying down against the Jets in such an obvious way is going to haunt. If they get bounced out of the playoffs it will be doubly bad. If say they beat Buffalo and win it all, the story will still be how they threw away that game. Screwy.
Jville at Clev- I want to take the Browns, but I think the Jags will win this one. Jags looked like they were playoff bound a month ago.
NO at Carolina- I'm going to take the Panthers, who knows how this one will play out.
Bears at Detroit- I figure the Bears should win this one, whether they will or not is to be seen.
NE at Houston- NE isn't going to take the week off, they will win, but the Texans will give them a game.
Steelers at Dolphins- I'll take the Steelers. Miami has been off a bit in the last couple of weeks and the NFL really would like the Steelers to be in the playoffs.
Giants at Minn- The Giants have pretty much given up, but I have a feeling Favre and Petersen won't be playing much. I'll take the Giants in an upset.
Niners at Rams- Niners will win and finish at .500.
ATL at Bucs- Falcons haven't been much on the road, but I think they will get this one.
Philly at Dallas- I'm going with Philly and asking for the most hilarious way to beat the Cowboys.
GB at Arizona- How does this work out? Can these teams again play the next week? Possibly. I'm going to take the Cardinals, not for any good reason as Green Bay's defense has gotten some injuries.
KC at Denver- Broncos should win, but they are 2-7 since their hot start. KC doesn't appear to be particularly good at anything.
Bmore at Oakland- I wonder what the over/under is on penalty yardage? We could have a new record this weekend in this game. B-more is only 2-5 on the road, so I have some doubts on them but the Raiders have Solei Moon Frye at QB. I'm taking the Ravens but I don't feel strong on it.
Wash at SD- I figure even though the playoffs are coming up Norv would like to stick it to Snyder, so he will play Rivers all game and they will win stating we wanted to stay fresh.
Titans at Seattle- I'll take the titans even though they are really banged up. Seattle has been getting clobbered of late.
Cinci at Jets- Probably a decent game. I'd figure the Jets, but I've got a feeling the Bengals will play it out for real.

changed my NE pick to HOU when I realized where they were playing

Titans getting to .500 and Chris Johnson getting the APY record is a serious moral victory considering the way their season started.
gotta figure collins retires after this year.

IND at BUF colts
JAX at CLE browns
CHI at DET bears
SF at STL niners
MIA at PIT stillers
MIN at NYG giants
ATL at TB falcons
NO at CAR nola
NE at HOU pats
PHI at DAL eagles
DEN at KC broncos
BAL at OAK ravens
AZ at GB pack
SD at WAS bolts
TENN at SEA titans
CIN at NYJ jets

11-5 last week, 161-77 overall

"It is historic to go 16-0, because that means you have a chance to go 19-0," Bruschi said. "You only can go 19-0 if you go 16-0 first and 19-0 trumps every single team record ever."

OTM

that whole clip w/bruschi is worth watching & pretty OTM

"when you compare the 09 colts to the 07 patriots, i'm gonna say something a lot of people are thinking but won't say it.. at least the 07 patriots had the guts to go for it"

I love that he still says "we".

mcdaniels benches bad apples, contemplates empty basket

"I don't think it's gutsy," McDaniels said. "I don't know about Eddie's status yet. But like I said what's important is we're fielding the team we think gives us the best opportunity to win. And the guys that are going to play hard and do what we asked them to do and fight through adversity and be committed to one another, that's the group."

on the bright side, at least the team already sucks. now it will be sucky without actual talent.

Looks like Brees is sitting tomorrow -- Brunell is a pretty strong reason to change my pick to the Panthers...

tbh i'd probably pick the panthers even if brees was playing. carolina has one of the league's toughest pass defenses, and any team that can run the ball well is almost guaranteed to give the saints fits.

hey guys btw i saw this excellent ad on local TV over christmas

CITY OF CHAMPIONS CRUNCH

i think hines ward could watch his children being eaten by lions and still keep that goofy grin on his face

and then passive agressively imply that his children wussed out

Dammit, I wanted to see the Steelers/Dolphins game, but the Jags must have sold enough tickets to get on tv today. :(

Browns v Jags or Falcons v Bucs. THIS IS BULLSHIT

Oh man, I think the Saints already gave up in Carolina.

hahaha ewww, condolences (xp)

I'm pretty sure I have the pick'em league sewn up, so I tried some challopy picks this week. Also, not a huge challop, went ahead and switched from NO to CAR.

dang welka down, screwed up l knee

Uh oh, Wes Welker just planted his left leg wrong and bent his knee.

Oops xp.

Aww, he's crying and everything. That is rough.

Oh no! MJD got hurt!

I WILL SEE YOU IN HELL MIKE FURREY YOU DON'T INJURE A BRUIN

this sucks... none of my streams are working and it's the 49ers vs the Rams. :S

i picked the Panthers, too.

oh no. not welkah!!!!!!!!! pats are f***ed without that guy in the playoffs

I hate this day for all eternity!!

OK apparently Jones-Drew is fine and back in the game.

Dude's a bowling ball.

there are a lot of steeler fans in miami

god this Rams game is depressing. reminds me of a pre-season game or something. can't even hear the crowd.

giants whole team cannot tackle AP

Howie Long is absolutely calling that guy a tool for owning a Ford.

we have to watch ALL of these games again. all of them! i mean what is this!

yeah this is crazy btw

xxp will be different next week; sadly nfl week 17 is fatally, cruelly flawed

eagles/cowboys is barely tolerable 2 times in a season

^^this is by far the worst one - pretty much hate the nfc east in general

why did sanchez just hurl a ball at edward's ass.

CHAD OCHOCINCO NOOOOOO

Revis Island is apparently very slippery, in addition to not having a McDonald's.

can't believe the 2009 regular season is goin' out like this

Collinsworth just made me lol about the "might not want to change his name back to Johnson... I don't know"

ugh god of course phil/dal is the sat primetime game

JT O'Sullivan you are disgracing that mustache and the UC Davis Aggies.

"So, Matt Schaub, how does it feel to watch the Bengals not even try in this game?"

"Denver became the third team to start a season 6-0 and miss the playoffs. The Vikings in 2003 and the Redskins in 1978 are the other two teams."

loool

Ugh, this game.

WEEK 17: THE FUCKING COACHES THREW ALL THESE GAMES

when are the packers going to play the vikings already

Jan 24.

we have to watch ALL of these games again. all of them! i mean what is this!

whole lotta otm

tho tbh i am probably looking forward to gb-zona the most

so peter king posted the all-pro team that he sent to the AP today and i gotta say that him picking vincent jackson over andre johnson— and saying that he's more consistent!— is one of the most asinine things i've seen written about the nfl this year

and i really <3 peter king! (at least his reporting, but it usually informs his opinions pretty well)

peter king and i have been on a streak recently where i disagree with him vehemently on just about everything. it's weird.

sorry to hear you guys are having trouble

thanks for the support max, i'm sure we'll get through it :)

Speaking as a Chargers fan, I totally agree. Andre Johnson > Vincent Jackson.

But I would rather have Jackson on my team (or Randy Moss, or Reggie Wayne, or...) than Wes Welker! Welker feasts on the space Moss creates. Andre Johnson is more than capable of doing the over the middle short passing game stuff that Welker handles. Not that I don't like Welker, of course.

rip wes welker

"he feasted on space"

that's deep

I don't think writers should be allowed to have ties on an all-pro team.

lol @ shep on fox just now, irate about the JETS ending up in the playoffs because indy and cincy didn't bother to show up

cavuto on fox wants to know why jim zorn lost his job b/c of screwing up, but janet napolitano keeps hers?

i have to say, i never thought of the redskins situation that way

heckuva job, zornie

cavuto inadvertently negating his own argument by saying a few minutes later that it wasn't zorn's fault the redskins were 4-12?

"Who's been wrong more than Charley Casserly since he left the Redskins? His percentage is like a meteorologist," Belichick said.

"He has no relationship to this team. I'd say less than zero. Based on what? He's never at a practice, never at a game," Belichick said before getting into a discussion of sports media practices in general.

"At least he put his name on it which is more than a lot of guys. But, like he usually is, he was 100 percent wrong."

haha wow

i had no idea the colts chased so many individual streaks against the bills

RT @ShaunPhillips95 How do U guys feel about Mike Tiricos stupid ass hat on MNF. He should put a beanie on, because that hat is hella wack.

Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles quietly passed on a chance for a huge NFL record Sunday. After piling up 259 rushing yards, a Chiefs franchise record, Charles could have threatened Adrian Peterson's NFL record of 296.

Instead, he asked his coach Todd Haley to take him out and put backup rookie Javarris Williams.

"I didn't want to do it like that," said Charles, of trying to set the record late in a blowout win. "I'll get it some other time."

haha

WEEK 18: Don't Go To Bocca Di Beppo They Have The WORST SERVICE EVER IN LIFE

No WC Weekends thred?

9-7 on the week, 167-88 on the season

"Mom would always say 'more pressure'." WILD CARD WEEKEND!

This was my vote for the thread title this week.

9-7 finish, 174-82 total. Pick'em threepeat®!

Congrats! I won three individual weeks this year, but still came in fourth place.

Only won one individual week, #13. I was hoping for not winning any individual weeks but still winning the season in the tortoise/hare stylee.
