Hawks will be back to .500. I wouldn't be surprised if they win their next 5 TBH. 



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

Yeah...Detroit is just bad. Not to mention the Seahawks have proven to be slow starters, they'll pick it up this week and get on some sort of roll.

I am going to drop you this qoute bomb on you  because Aaron Rodgers sucks. 

"Rodgers was downgraded in large part for two plays: his second-quarter fumble (a play that was wiped out by a Chiefs penalty) and his third-quarter near-interception."

"The grading system has its limitations, as PFF admitted "the greatness of Rodgers' performance last night was in the intangibles: recognizing the blitz, drawing the defense offsides, catching the Chiefs in bad situations and exploiting those scenarios with simple passes to open receivers." But PFF says "our system grades what can be graded -- the execution of the play post-snap -- and in that regard Rodgers did not stand out in the same way that his statistics did."

Yeah, their system refuses to acknowledge audibling from a designed run into a TD screen pass, or throwing a TD bomb on a free play caused by a hard count. It does, however, grade a recovered fumble on another free play caused by a hard count. Also uncounted: throwing a receiver open so he can ge yards after catch. A long incomplete, if it was "difficult," counts for more in their system.

Apparently Blake Bortles had a higher PFF rating this weekend than Rodgers. I find their system ...flawed.



Arkaign Predicts:
BAL-PIT 1 NYJ-MIA 1
JAC-IND 2 NYG-BUF 2
CAR-TB 1 PHI-WAS 1 OAK-CHI 1 HOU-ATL 2
KC-CIN 2 CLE-SD 2 GB-SF 1 STL-ARI 2
MIN-DEN 2 DAL-NO 1 BYE   DET-SEA 2 x 11

Finally an easy week. I think only PHI/WAS and NYG/BUF offer any potential for surprises simply due to the inconsistency of all teams involved.

I have trouble saying that the Dolphins or Jets will definitely win as well. The Jets offense is anemic, and the Dolphins defense has not started performing to its capability level. Tough one to call, but for some reason I have more faith in MIA this week, I feel like they have to bounce back or they will continue being the laughing stock of the AFC East, a title that is SUPPOSED to be reserved for the Jets.
