Last week 9-4, for the year 58-32.

San Diego at NY Jets- I could see the Jets winning as while SD does seem to be better, they are still coached by Norv Turner. 1pm east coast starts seem to be a thing for some west coast clubs, but they are coming off the bye. I'll go Jets for no good reason.
Chicago at Tampa Bay- Nice comeback by both clubs last week. Chicago's O-line did a good job this week against the Vikings. Beating the Saints is big, but beating them after you got mauled by 40 points is impressive. Kind of a pickem game and yet a big game, as both clubs need as many wins as possible, as winning their division is going to be pretty damn impossible. I'm going Bears and hoping for the best.
Washington at Carolina- Newton and Sexy Rexy both came back to earth from their first couple of weeks of good production. I'm going Washington as their defense is playoff caliber now.
Atlanta at Detroit- I'm going Lions but I don't feel good about it, as I could believe a swoon could come to a team like them. ATL is no greatshakes, but they need the wins as it is going to be nigh on impossible to get over the Saints in the division I think in the long run.
Seattle at Cleveland- I guess Browns at home. I don't know much about either club.
Denver at Miami- I'd think the Broncos are the better club, but who knows. I guess give me QB Jeyzus to lead them to the win.
Houston at Tennessee- Neither club is looking as good as they were at the front. Texans need the win, if they don't get over, injuries and all this year, then I think they will blow up the coaching staff.

Late games:
Kansas City at Oakland- I think this year has proven that practice is kind of overrated in the NFL a bit (at least for offense). I'd think Oaktown should be able to win just running the ball and playing defense. As for the Palmer trade, it's a cold day in hell when someone makes Mike Brown look savvy. That said, it's a high price, but Oaktown has had success with the vet QB over the years coming out of the woods (Plunkett & Gannon), so it is not out of line with something Al would have done.
Pittsburgh at Arizona- Kolb's not really looking too hot now. He's still better than what they had I guess. Steelers should easily win, even banged up as they have been.
Green Bay at Minnesota- Packers but this feels kind of trap game like.
St. Louis at Dallas- Cowboys should win this one. Rams have really regressed after seemingly improving down the strech last year.

Night game:
Indianapolis at New Orleans- Boy I bet NBC and ESPN could flex schedule out all of those Indy games, they probably should be able to do so really, as this is just cruel. As close as they have played everyone, you know the Colts would be like 5-1 with Manning at this point. Saints should roll but I wouldn't be surprised if Indy covers the spread. Boy I bet the Colt locker room is a pretty tense place these days. You have to wonder if Indy still might use this poor season (even with Manning) to maybe use it as a convenient way to shift head coaches. You never know, Caldwell might have gotten the job as a placeholder to a bit to keep Dungy happy. The rest of the staff has turned over quite a bit in the past few years. Would Indy maybe go for a Gruden as coach? I know there is some friendship between Gruden and Manning - and being able to coach an offense run by that guy would have to be damn tempting. Pure speculation on my part, but I oddly could see something like that happening.

Monday night:
Baltimore at Jacksonville- Bmore is 5-1 but I am still not a big believer. There is something about that Titans loss that bugs me. They are going to be 6-1, but I still don't see them as a contender for the crown for real yet.

10-3 last wk
57-33 season

san Diego at NY Jets - bolts, big
Chicago at Tampa Bay - bears
Washington at Carolina- sry beckgruber, panthers
Atlanta at Detroit - this is kinda a big game for nfc wildcard tiebreakers probably - lions
Seattle at Cleveland - whitehurst is not a good qb but im not sure cleveland can win this? maybe if cribbs works some magic, fuck it, browns
Denver at Miami - fins!
Houston at Tennessee - how is andre johnson healthwise? will say titans
Kansas City at Oakland - Raiders.
Pittsburgh at Arizona - think this might be low scoring, ugly. ben might take some hits but i say pitt wins
Green Bay at Minnesota - Packers.
St. Louis at Dallas. Cowboys. i feel bad for the gorams
Indianapolis at New Orleans - Saints
Baltimore at Jacksonville - ravens

gruden coaching the sheriff! i like the way u think, earlnash

peyty was in the booth on the cbs lsu @ tennessee broadcast the other day, it was great

Oh yeah, I forgot John Beck making his first start this week too

Jahvid Best is maybe out for the year, and Jerome Harrison has a brain tumor.

Fuck man.

the trade my actually have saved harrison's life, apparently

*MAY

I know this sucks for Lion fans but Jahvid Best should really consider retiring. He's gotten a lot of concussions through college and his short NFL career and is only 22. I shudder to think what he'll be like at 40 should he play another ten years :(

^^^

one day there will be mandatory long term time off / retirement for concussions

I wonder if the Lions should have traded for a rb. I know it would be hard to considering they have so much invested in best and leshoure, but they have a real chance to make noise this year.

{a rb way better than ronnie brown)

maybe they'll make a run at peyton hillis in the offseason?

!!! for the whole thing?

gruden at indy would be great; h8 caldwell

A couple of more losses on the Colts and that meme is going to be picked up, you don't go from 10-6 to 2-14 and keep your job no matter who gets hurt and really the only man down is Manning. George Seifert won a Superbowl and looked like a f-ing genius after Bill Walsh, but notice he didn't sniff after his utter failure in Carolina. Same goes for Tom Flores, who was not an older man when he bombed in Seattle after winning 2 Superbowls with the Raiders. Caldwell was a bust as a college head coach and the only path you can say in his time with the Colts is down 14-2, 10-6 and now apocalypse.

yeah not only is Caldwell boring as shit but he's an awful coach too, with Manning gone I can't fathom why any of THOSE GUYS would want to stay

btw I really think that any decent coach would have beaten the Saints in the Super Bowl

seriously it should be a law that whenever jim caldwell is shown on TV it says:

HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL*

*fired by Wake Forest

jim loldwell

i must have done this before, but whatever:

http://www.myflightblog.com/images/autopilot_1.jpg

the first question at every jim caldwell press conference should be "now jim, i know we've been over this before, but could you once again explain how you got a head coaching job in the nfl when you previously went 26-63 at wake forest?"

if they hired jim grobe they would go to the super bowl every year?

I don't know about 'any' coach beating the Saints. Caldwell got outfoxed in that game, as New Orleans ran the script that works against the Colts - keep the offense off the field. They also had the balls to run that onside kick and make it work. Manning has made some good coaches including Cowher and "the dark one" try that kind of trick and get burned big time. Payton rolled the dice got the ball and made that extra possession stick.

wow, looks like Carson Palmer might not even play this week, as he's likely not conditioned enough to make the throws they want...nice trade

dude took an 8 million paycut to offset that tbf

he's gonna start

They should let Boller start and give Palmer the bye to learn the playbook and get his fitness up. But they probably won't do that.

― frogbs, Friday, 21 October 2011 19:49 (1 hour ago)

Doubt it's conditioning. 5 days is an awfully short amount of time to learn the playbook!

Whether they start him or not, keeping it a total mystery all week is totally the right move strategically.

guys I'm really glad tomorrow is sunday fyi

great way to spend the bye week imo

holy shit that 1st tebow throw was the ugliest thing ive ever seen

oh man cam newton

prob not a good sign that they're not even letting him throw on third down

lol jets

I really can't think of any nfl starting quarterbacks who had throws as ugly as Tebow's.

lions oline might wanna block some dudes no big deal

Detroit should seriously just take 7 offensive linemen in next year's draft.

bold prediction: all 3 Oakland QBs take a snap.

oh man, falcons :(

ugh, forte

denver is running urban meyer's offense

what happened to my game

I don't see how you don't onside kick here

whoops

what happened to my game

is jim harbaugh awake btw

it's pretty annoying that the announcers are so bad at knowing the rules. Can the ball really cross 10 yards and then go back under 10 yards and be recovered?

that's a really good question. wonder if it's ever happened.

I don't like this jacksonville drive at all. try to get a first to ice the game.

SCOBEE MVP

wow

thought for sure that would be blocked. that raven was flying to the ball/kicker.

scobee makes 2m a year for a reason haha

always love when tirico gets disgusted

FLACCO <3

AWESOME

I LOVE THIS GAME

http://i.imgur.com/qaE1q.png

i don't even

wonder what this means for the Ravens' season.

ray lewis is going to murder somebody in the locker room

sportsguy33 Bill Simmons
The Raiders just offered 2 first round picks for Joe Flacco.

i lol'd

the ravens trading 2 first rounders for a QB seems very reasonable atm.

maybe they trade up for landry jones? he seems like a guy who might be able to produce right away.

I'm glad we made it through this, guys. Has to be the worst week of the season right?

yeah if ilx was down this weekend i would've been on the verge of tears

next week isn't much better tbh

the 1 pm games seem like some sort of joke

thankfully cowboys-eagles is the sunday night game

Lol, what happened to the phenom QB from Delaware who was restoring the Ravens to a powerhouse, playoff wins'n'all. the NFL sure is a strange, fickle beast

def the worst week so far, for offense anyway. looking at my fantasy league's games (yeah, lol fantasy), there were like 2 teams out of 12 that reached triple digits. Definitely a first.

i thought this week would be good! Titans-Texans was presumably a divisional showdown.

bet everyone is regretting talking so much shit about Jack Del Rio. well who's laughing now!?!?

pittsburgh and cincinnati at a guess

http://i.imgur.com/kTVB0.jpg

that font is sorta awesome you know

fucking Ravens

bye-bye Survival League

Colts announce that they've placed Kerry Collins on injured reserve.

Hopefully he'll be good to go for next year!

Easiest $4M anyone's ever made.

I'd appreciate the lols of the jags beating the texans next week. they'd be one game out of first in their division, with the divisional tiebreaker!

aw, don't say that ... just went with the Texans for my survivor league

9-4 this week.

Everybody with good reason in the ESPN media was tagging on the Ravens offense, but they seemingly forget again the f-ing stupid personal fouls on the defense that pretty much put the Jags in field goal range twice. The Ravens are about with the Cowboys for dumb penalty club status.

damn wtg being 9-4 this week man

lol Miami signs JP Losman.

JP LOLSMAN

i literally don't believe that

you can't take any chances in your pursuit of andrew luck

haha

The Scene: A quiet Monday morning with Stephen Ross

*sighs, folds newspaper*

"62 to 7, huh Irsay? Damn you! Ireland you bitch, activate plan D! Get Losman in here...Christ, does he even HAVE an agent?! And don't forget to ask him if his mom is whore!

I knew all along Orton would not have been enough, you worthless shitstain, thank god I pulled the plug on that brainstorm of yours!

IT'S YOUR MOVE IRSAY!!!!!! *maniacal cackling*

if a team trades for him they're gonna have to give up a herschel walker or ricky williams type bounty to get him

― J0rdan S., Monday, October 24, 2011

I know I'm late to the thread here but I would like to point out that Baltimore is a well-respected org what has obvious QB needs and can in fact offer an actual Ricky Williams type bounty!
