Big Ben with possibly the greatest day in NFL history. If this were the Patriots you can bet they would have thrown for 600 yards and 8 TDs only they would have done it against the Jets or Bears or something so they could run it up. Ben and the Steelers turned it off with 4 minutes to go after getting a 3 score lead.

It was a top five performance for sure if the game would have been closer he would have broke the yard record for sure.

At the midway (sorta) point I gotta take a guess at the divisions

AFC
North: Ravens
South: Colts
West: Broncos
East Patriots

NFC
North: Packers
South: Saints
East: Eagles
West: Cardinals!

NOW THATS WHAT YOU DO TO THE GOD DAMNED BLITZ MOFOS! Good lord.

It's so easy, just plop it over quick. What the shit guys. This is the easiest thing in the universe.

to be fair to the Cowboys if the blitz works well and you simply have your coverage guys play up knowing the receivers won't have time to go deep then you can cover the quick routes

What else is there to say this week? I guess I have to ask if I am too much of a bully in this thread. Do you guys think that I should tone it down a little bit? And while I am surveying what people think about me, are you happy with how the prediction league has been run so far? Any complaints, questions, comments or suggestions?


I think most of us know your ways by now, but tread a little more carefully with those whom you have not built a rapport with. Also, get laid.

As far as the way the league has been run, keep up the great work. One thing I have been thinking about lately is how many of my picks are contigent on game-time decisions for key players. For instance, I picked Detroit the past couple of weeks based on the assumption/hope that Calvin Johnson would be given the green light to play. Although I ended up getting the pick right two games ago against New Orleans, I would  have picked the Saints if I knew Johnson would sit.

What if I wanted to start saying, "Team X if Player X plays, Team Y if he does not"? Because often, we have no way of knowing if some of these guys are a go until right before game time, i.e. too late to change the picks. The Patriots are especially ludicrous about this, although it's not often I pick against the Patriots.



Haha Dallas Cowboys. What a bunch of idiots. Murray is carving up the Skins at over 7 yards per carry and you pass three straight times in short yardage situations. What the fuck.

Number of tough games this week

I'd really like to go with the Saints after that big victory...but I've still seen nothing to convince me they can win on the road. Might change this one later in the week depending on how the rest of the league predicts this and whether I'm feeling confident enough in Carolina to possibly lose ground over it

Manning vs Brady is always a fun time, but I'm going with New England. Peyton Manning is 0-3 in his last 3 trips to Foxborough, Denver is 0-3 as well (although admittedly one of those did come with Tim Tebow at QB)

I was going to keep riding the Dallas bandwagon until the Redskins of all teams beat them...and to some extent, I still am...but not against the Cardinals unless they hire a new OC halfway through this week

Picking against Houston just because JJ Watt won't let Zach Mettenberger have fun with selfies. What a chump

Pittsburgh over Baltimore...cause it's at Pittsburgh and the Steelers seem to always find a stupid way to win these games



What is seperating me and NT360?



                            

Just finished watching Dallas game. Very pleased with the result, I don't care I missed my prediction, but it keeps my Eagles even.

Will predict at a later time, this was just a tag so my buddy shows the thread again...
