Kansas City at St. Louis
Miami at Chicago
New Orleans at Tampa Bay
Tennessee at Jacksonville
Minnesota at San Francisco
Cleveland at San Diego

QB switches and pissed off coaches tend to alter a team's season. Who will crash and burn, and who will gain a new life under the duress? There are some very tough matchups this week, so pick carefully.

Oh and for Latrin, It's nice to see Big Ol' Michael Strahan taking his anger out on QBs instead of his wife these days.

[Sean of the Thread]

I think Augie is a closet Bucs fan.

[crazymage]

Sean2 I know you need to wait to see who Michael Irvin picks, but Indy NE, your thoughts?

[Sean of the Thread]

Irvin picks the cocaine scabs out of his nose. I most likely won't play Ind/Ne game but if I did right now I'd play Indy +3.

[Augie]

rofl buffalo

I think Augie is a closet Bucs fan.

This isn't a big game. Give it a couple more weeks before the Peyton Manning choke machine is ready to roll, that's why I took Indy.

[TheEschaton]

Green Bay 10 Final
Buffalo 24

Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

And WTF Miami and Chicago???????

-TheE-

[RichardCranium]

Chicago (this is going to be ugly)


Understatement of the year.

[RichardCranium]

YEah, that's right. No one circles the wagons, Nobody circles the wagons, LIKE THE MOTHERFUCKIN' BUFFALO BILLS!!!11one

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Buffalo sucks a lot of ass.

[Sean of the Thread]

Scoreboard says?


oh and DA BEARS.. BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

[RichardCranium]

Yeah, where's D at?

[Apathy]

Its not like Bears fans should be too heartbroken. They've been getting their asses kicked for the last 20 years, nothing new.

[Daniel]

What the fuck.

[Sean of the Thread]

That's what happens when you're overrated.. you start to believe it and WHAP.. HERE COMES THE FUCKING DOLPHINS.

[Augie]

Green Bay 10 Final
Buffalo 24

Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

And WTF Miami and Chicago???????

-TheE-

Buffalo FTMFW!!!!

[Latrinsorm]

The ending to the Washington-Dallas game was awesome. Vanderblockt is probably going to get a lot of blame for no good reason, which isn't really fair. If it wasn't for TO dropping that TD pass and whichever lineman facemasked Taylor, Dallas would have won that game. The guy can't block and kick at the same time.

Giants ftw.

[Drew]

That's what happens when you're overrated.. you start to believe it and WHAP.. HERE COMES THE FUCKING DOLPHINS.

Yep, the worst team in the league, remember?

[Sean of the Thread]

Yep, the worst team in the league, remember?

How could I forget.. they still are the worst team in the league.

[TheEschaton]

I'm glad to see I've made it into your sig, Xy.

I hate how Pittsburgh is 2-5 and they're "trying to save their season" as if they still have a fucking chance, and the Bills who were 2-5 (now 3-5) are already counted out.

We have a better fucking record than the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS of last year, FTMFW.

-TheE-

[Apathy]

Saying the Bills are good because they have a better record than the Steelers is like saying you like the chunky turd over the smooth turd.

[Daniel]

What kind of freak likes the chunky turd?

[DeV]

Saying the Bears are overrated just because they happened to be 7-0 before today's game....... weaksauce.

I think at least the fans were just really enjoying the run for the time being. It was great while it lasted.

[Apathy]

What kind of freak likes the chunky turd?

Couldn't tell you. All I know is I'm a Packer fan - I like the frozen turd :)

[RichardCranium]

Wow what a crock of shit call right before halftime. The ref didn't even call for a measurement. Yay for home field advantage.

[TheEschaton]

Yeah, total bullshit. But that call against Vrabel just now was bullshit too, I don't know what the hell's wrong with these refs.

-TheE-

[Sean of the Thread]

Rofl

[Apathy]

So now I have to rely on Oakland? lol, I'm screwed.

BTW - 45 for tiebreaker.

[crazymage]

Touche Mr. Manning.

[Wezas]

blocked field goal + facemask penalty + redemption by Wash kicker = Cowboys pwnt.

A great ending to a game.

video recap (http://play.rbn.com/?url=nfl/nfl/open/nflfilms/demand/s2006/nflcom/w09/cowboys_redskins_short_300k.rm&rpcontexturl=http://www.nfl.com/fieldpass/includes/2006_week9_recap&rpcontextwidth=500&rpcontextheight=275)

[Tromp]

The Bucs are f'in horrible!

Giants pull 14 - 10 on Houston at home!?! WTF??!!!!!!!!!!!

Next week game on w/ Bears @ NY.

[Sean of the Thread]

The Gruden is f'in horrible!


Fixed that for ya.

[Tromp]

Fixed that for ya.


How dare you! I guess it helps if you have a quarterback. The offense has never been known to light up the boards. Offensive coordinator job posting on Monster please. "Wanted - Someone who can turn this sinking ship around". Anyone want my tickets for the rest of the year?

[stallion4]

Sure am glad I have Peyton and Marvin on my fantasy squad..Went up against Eli, Shockey, and Tiki..dude I played LOVES the giants apparently. Anyways..it'll be close but it made it even sweeter last night that the Colts did it against fuckstick Brady.

[Latrinsorm]

:)

I still think Brady's a really good quarterback and not all of those INTs were fair to blame on Brady, but hopefully this will quiet the "OMG BEST QTRBACK EVAAAR" crowd for awhile.

The category for this week is Reverse Bell Curve:

TheEschaton (seriously), Alfster: 9-4
Latrinsorm (lol @ the Vikings), cakewitharse, Stunseed, Drew, Xyelin, Apathy: 8-5
Atlanteax: 7-6
Drinin, Parkbandit: 6-7
Ardwen, richardcranium, Sergey, Augie: 5-8

Only the 9-4s and Apathy are in contention for the title this week with Apathy inexplicably picking Oakland for MNF, so we need a tiebreaker from theEschaton. I'll post up season %s tomorrow.

[TheEschaton]

Hmmm, I'll put 29 on the game tonight. Let's hope no defense gets played.

-TheE-

[Apathy]

Inexplicably? Wallace is a turnover waiting to happen, Morris couldn't run on a treadmill, and Oakland has one of the top5 D's in the NFL (look it up).

The key is the game is whether Walter gets sacked 5 times and throws 2 INTs, or gets sacked 15 times and throws 5 INTs.

Edit: And I should win by default if I correctly pick the Lions and the Raiders to win in the same week.

[TheEschaton]

I will laugh so hard if my Bills over the Packers pick ends up winning the week for me.

-TheE-

[Sean of the Thread]

You're not the only one that picked the bills. :p

[Latrinsorm]

The key is the game is whether Walter gets sacked 5 times and throws 2 INTs, or gets sacked 15 times and throws 5 INTs.I think the key to the game is Art Shell has no idea what he's doing. The Raiders will stay close or even be winning after the first half and get their doors blown off the second half.
Edit: And I should win by default if I correctly pick the Lions and the Raiders to win in the same week.There is that, yes.

[Alfster]

Hmmm, I'll put 29 on the game tonight. Let's hope no defense gets played.

-TheE-

you cheating son of a bitch. Don't pick a number at first, then pick one that just happens to be 1 higher than me.

[TheEschaton]

Ummmm, I've picked a number on my first post every other week of the year, I legitimately forgot this week. I didn't even notice til Latrin pointed out we needed a tiebreaker.

And once I knew I was in the running, you didn't expect me to be gentlemanly about it, did you? ;)

-TheE-

[Alfster]

So, next week I'll just "forget" to put a number down and screw over those that actually remembered, i call bullshit

[Sean of the Thread]

This is America Scotty.. you can't trust brownish looking people remember?

[Sean of the Thread]

I need to get rid of this tan if I want a job btw.

[TheEschaton]

Seriously, look it up, I provide a number first post every time. I did honestly forget.

-TheE-

[TheEschaton]

So what happens if we're both over? I knew I should of picked 0. It's a classic Price Is Right trick...either bid one over, or 0.

-TheE-

[Alfster]

This is America Scotty.. you can't trust brownish looking people remember?

Can't trust cops either, but that's for another thread.

[Latrinsorm]

Monday night pick total amount of points without going over as a tie breaker.Alfster wins, precedent being set in week 3 when Stunseed picked 54 (rofl) to Sergey's 37 in a Pitt-Jacksonville game.

Oakland... worst offensive performance I've seen since the Giants flop in the postseason. I mean this is awful. 0 points against the SEAHAWKS? :\

[Latrinsorm]

At the halfway point:

Xyelin: 69.3% (8 weeks)
Alfster: 63.5% (7 weeks)
Ardwen, RichardCranium: 63.28% (9 weeks)
Apathy, Stunseed: 61.72% (9 weeks)
cakewitharse, Sergey: 59.8% (8 weeks)
Drinin: 59.2% (7 weeks)
Drew: 58.0% (8 weeks)
TheEschaton: 57.03% (9 weeks)
Atlanteax: 57.02% (8 weeks)
Latrinsorm: 53.9% (9 weeks)
Augie: 53.5% (8 weeks)
Wezas: 46.5% (7 weeks)

Outright wins:
Xyelin: 3
Ardwen, RichardCranium: 2
Sergey, Alfster: 1

PC Avg. Pick %: 59.1%
PC Avg. Win %: 64.2%

[Solkern]
