First... you don't have a Thursday night pick. Second... please use the city names... not team names, not abbreviations... so when I score it, it's easy. (I use highlights to do the scoring.) Third, you don't have a tiebreaker for the Monday game.

[Kembal]

This Cowboys-Broncos game is ridiculous. Too bad it couldn't have been the tiebreaker....100 points combined seems likely!

[SHAFT]

This will do nothing for the "choker" label that seems to accompany tony romo everywhere he goes.

[Gibreficul]

Preliminary tally shows Stabbyrogue ahead this week at 11-1, (Not 12-1, your post is time stamped 9:07 PM on Thursday night, and game time is 8:25, thus your Thursday pick is invalid.)
Lord Orbstar, who needs to not use abbreviations in his picks or I'm not scoring them in future weeks... is 10-2 (no Thursday pick for him either) and Subzero is looking at 10-3. NOBODY has the Jets picked for the Monday game.

[TheEschaton]

Listen, the Bills would have won if E.J. Manuel didn't get injured in the 3rd quarter. Our other rookie QB (undrafted) had to come in and had, I think 5 possessions, 3 went 3 and out for like 7 yards total, one went maybe 5 plays, and the last was the pick which was returned for a TD to effectively end the game.

That being said, if Weeden had stayed in instead of being injured in Q1, the Browns would have probably have slayed us.

Yeah, Miami would have won if the refs didn't call at least one BS pass interference call in a string of back-to-back penalties that gave up ~55 of the ~80 yards on a drive, or their O-line didn't suck ballsack and weren't on the fast track to record sacks allowed, or the kicker didn't choke... but none of that matters.

[TheEschaton]

Except I think the Bills played well and the game was called fairly, and that it was random injury RNG that determined the game. Good game while both starting QBs were in, Bills had the game in hand when the Browns QB got injured, Bills lost it when they had to use their backup, who was eminently less of a QB than the Browns backup (who was their starter, week 1).

[Parkbandit]

Weeden is the 2nd string QB.. you mean Hoyer. Don't worry, Hoyer is out for the season with a torn ACL.

And Manuel needs to get the fuck out of bounds instead of taking hits along the sidelines. This isn't college where he's playing Murray State. He already had the first down.

[Parkbandit]

That really was "one of those games" you will likely remember for a very long time. Very entertaining and kept going back and forth. I'm glad Denver won, but I felt bad for Romo who will be hounded by people for choking once again in the final minutes of a game.

[mrjrd222]

A total of 2 people picked Oakland. Damn.

And stabbyrogue only missed one, nice week so far.

[TheEschaton]

How many picked Cincy over NE? Cause they're my new favorite people.

[mrjrd222]

How many picked Cincy over NE? Cause they're my new favorite people.

I did, Cinci has looked strong, except for one last week really.

[Wrathbringer]

I did, Cinci has looked strong, except for one last week really.

Yeah, I've been a Bengals fans for decades. How do you best the Packers and the Patriots but lose to the Browns in between? We're better, but we're obviously not there yet. Dalton is not the answer at QB.

[mrjrd222]

I have to assume it was a road game that they looked past. 3 good games in a row then they looked forward to week 5 at home against the Pats and skipped the Browns who just got rid of Trent Richardson.

[SHAFT]

Yeah, I've been a Bengals fans for decades. How do you best the Packers and the Patriots but lose to the Browns in between? We're better, but we're obviously not there yet. Dalton is not the answer at QB.

No he is not. Giovanni Bernard is pretty damn good however. He should be getting the ball in space more.

Too bad they couldn't have subbed in QB Browns and QB Bills from Tecmo Super Bowl

[Drew]

I usually aim for 60%, this is easily my worst season of pick 'em.
