Who do you believe will have a stronger defense in 2020?

Patriots 2 66.67%
 
Steelers 1 33.33%
 
Total:3

Well that was an...absurdly ugly day on offense for the Patriots. The Bills defense is definitely good, props to them, but Brady and his receivers looked out of sync all day long. I'd assume Buffalo was doing a good job of knocking them off the line on timing routes, because there were a few passes that were just really arrant throws towards nothing in particular (happened at least once on what was a bad grounding call, imo). I'm not sure how injured Edelman still is, Brady barely threw to him. Offensive line wasn't much better and let the Bills get pressure on Brady with 4 man rushes all day long.

Thankfully the Bills' offense was even worse. Five turnovers (4 INTs), and maybe should've been more with two fumbles that they recovered. Defense played well, no doubt, but I don't think they're going to be able to carry us through many more games where our offense totally shits the bed. Bills outgained us nearly 2:1 with Josh Allen and fucking Matt Barkley at QB, and that was with five turnovers. Presumably not many teams are going to be doing that.

We're really going to need to start thinking about a new kicker after this season. Gost has been flat out bad. He's missed a kick every game this year, and leads the league with *FOUR* missed extra points.

Refs were also...really bad. Several obvious blatant penalties that weren't called (mostly facemasks), for both teams. Really hoping we don't see that crew again.

At the end of the day, though, I guess I can't complain too much. A win is a win, and we've definitely looked much worse at this point in the year and ultimately been fine.

Wow, I'm going to have like 4 games right this week. Crazy.

Yeah just like I thought quite a few games swung the other way compared to what I picked.

I will say though my Lions showed me enough today for me to believe in their chances in this tough NFC North. This was hands down the toughest game on their schedule and they handily outplayed their opponent only to come up short thanks to two redzone fumbles. Before I would have chalked up games like our road division games and the game vs. Dallas as loses but going forward I don't foresee any game as unwinnable. If we win at Green Bay in two weeks then I'll officially expect to win every game the rest of the season.

The tie to the Cardinals however will still be in the back of my mind so I won't chalk any game up as an easy win either lol

Welp, with the Bucs and Saints pulling off the upsets, the Patriots, Chiefs, and...49ers?...really?...are the last unbeaten teams. SF will have a chance to prove how legitimate it is in the next couple of weeks, with games against the Rams and Browns up.



Burfict just needs to be banned permanently from the NFL. What a piece of ****.

Results for Week 4

Something of a down week overall, but I guess we were overdue for one. Fuck me for having any degree of faith in the Redskins, dammit. Zkekekee or however you spell that is Zakaro, who's just fucking with me on the name section I guess.

One user without a name who filled out the sheet before I corrected the lack of a name place. I...think this was Chrkeller? He was the only one of our non-usual predictors in there. Assuming it is, here are the standings to this point in the season.

Picks for this week coming soon...with a name section this time, I promise.



Tragic week. Nice to know everyone was way off though



I got decimated. Which is funny, at first look I thought last weeks picks seemed easy on paper. Apparently not.

And yes, I was the one who filled it out without a name.

Did I really get only 7 right? I thought it was 8.

Did I really pick any one between the Vikings, Cowboys and Bengals, or where else did I make a different pick than I remember?

According to the spreadsheet I have, you picked the Bengals. You can also go back and look through the picks you submitted via the google form if you want, although it looks like you made the same prediction there.
