Well, Colts gave up quite a few more yards than I would have liked, but overall, a good win. Nice to see Pierre get another td.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
What can I say about the Raiders? Russell looks like a fat Ryan Leaf. The O-line should just quit and let him get his head beaten in for awhile so he at least earns that fat contract and entertain us all.
Supposedly he still plays great in practice, he's just got nothing in the game. No leadership, no timing, no sense. Some people blame the franchise attitude, and maybe that's a factor, but part of a QB's job is to lead his team out of that kind of funk.
Thank goodness KC is on the schedule again.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
On the one hand- GAH! Missed the picks this week.
On the other hand- w00t! Colts looking strong thus far.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
That's what I wanna know, too. Looks like Detroit struck early, Chicago fought back, Detroit pushed harder, then Ch-town ran up the score. (All that speculation coming from the changing scores).What is going on in Chicago?!
CR
Any injuries? Turnovers?
Guess I'll have to wait for ESPN to fill me in. Neither Fox nor CBS are enlightening.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
We officially have the worst long snapper in the history of football...2 field goals and 2 extra points missed this year because of bad snaps. Lost the broncos game and almost lost the steelers and browns games because of that #$%^&
edit: also, we may have had 3 players hurt in the OT we would never have gone too if he hadn't made us miss the FG and point after...

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
That's serious trouble there, Sasaki.
Also, the Titans supposedly get more desperate with every game, and keep losing. Lousy nogoodniks. Indy's going to play them next week, right? Gee, wonder who I'll pick for that game.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
TOUCHDOWN BRONCOS. Wow.
Does this mean Denver is for real?
-edit- Wow, nice 2-minute drill by Romo. We'll see if he finishes it off.
-edit- nope.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
Looks like the Colts and the Saints are the teams to beat this year.
-edit-
Wow, martok is perfect this week.
And san diego's defense and run game are terrible.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
Believe me, no one is more surprised by this than I.In truth, I was very uncomfortable with at least half my picks this week; I think it's safe to say I definitely got lucky in a couple of those games.
Of course, my "streak" this weekend will be all for naught unless the Vikings beat the Packers tomorrow night....
I was surprised by that. I figured Pitt had the edge tonight, but I didn't anticipate them winning as handily as they did. (That game wasn't nearly as close as the final score makes it out to be; the Chargers were pretty much finished by halftime, despite everything they could do.)

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
I got really excited for nothing at the end. I had San Diego.
Afraid to look at the scores but I think I'm in last this week. So much for my early season lead.
And congrats on the perfect week (so far) Martok!

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
ESPN explained the Detroit loss: turnovers and a hurt QB. At least they gave it a decent fight and so far haven't just rolled over and died. Maybe they'll win another one this year.
On the night game, I gave the Chargers up for dead by halftime, and started watching rugby. On a commercial break, I checked back and they were in striking distance! QB Rivers and the O-team have it together, and Sproles is the sparkplug on Special teams, too. Too bad he doesn't play Defense as well - that D-team could sure use the help.
Congrats, Martok. Nice pix.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Farve is tuned up tonight. I gotta say, I doubt he'll have this much left when they go to Green Bay later in the season though.

Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
Thanks guys, although I still firmly believe luck had more to do my success this week than skill. Now I just have to hope Fortune smiles on me another 13 times....
Heh; indeed. It's been absolutely insane here in the Cities the past few days.

How do you feel about JAX at Seattle? Bookies can't decide. I'm thinking "home field advantage" for a 3-point Seahawks squeaker.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Official 2009-10 NFL thread
Oh, I don't know. JAX is one of the teams I get wrong every week. Seahawks have a lot of injuries I think.
