Okay, picks went better last week. 10-4. Here is this week:

Jags > Titans: "upset"
Ravens > Bucs: The Bucs were almost cool last week.
Broncos > Jets: Remember Rex talking about "rat kills" when discussing the Jets beating the Raiders? Well, he was on the receiving end of one last week, and will be getting a generous second helping of whoopass today.
Vikings > Lions: Doesn't it seem like it is time for the Lions to have their annual mid season nose dive?
Bills > Patriots: I don't think that the Bills are going to get raped up the middle like the Bengals were last week.
Bengals > Panthers: Bengals should be playing pissed today.
Steelers > Browns: Who would have thunk that the Browns would have a top 5 offense this year?
Packers > Dolphins: I'm thinking that the Packers are finally ready to go.
Chargers > Raiders: Another beating incoming.
Falcons > Bears: I like the Falcons at home. Gonna suck to be a DB in this game.
Seahawks > Cowboys: The Cowboys are long overdue for a loss.
Cardinals > Redskins: Presuming that Stanton plays, Cardinals should have this.
Eagles > Giants: I have no idea who to take here. Going with the home team.
Niners > Rams: This will probably be stupidly close. Rams always play the Niners hard.

Should I start Forsett or try my luck with Knowshon?

Ouch, that's a tough choice. I'd vote for Knowshon if he plays because the Packers run D is awful.

In other news, I think today might be the day we see a Jacksonville victory.

Furthermore, Stanton was cleared for his concussion. He and Palmer split reps at Friday's practice, I believe.

Even better. As long as it is not Thomas.

It still amazes me that Thomas made it to the NFL. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I thought he sucked in college and they kept saying he had top tier potential.

He's one of those guys who has immense physical gifts and plays QB, so he'll bounce around to about four teams over six seasons and make a decent wage. He's basically the BJ Mullens or any other meh 7 footer in the NBA.

And I agree, I watched him a decent amount in college and always thought they were trying to win in spite of him.

Benjamin, and it's not close!

FYI on whoever asked about Moreno, word is 8-10 carries today. Abort and go Forsett!

Yeah I remember when Logan Thomas first started QBing they were trying to compare him as the potential to be Cam Newton because of his physical gifts at least according to a lot of ACC writers. VT's offense really suffered under him considering they were at least decent when Tyrod Taylor was there right before. The one annoying thing about Logan Thomas was the was too big for GT to tackle so he got like 5 ypc against us which usually led to us losing by 1 score so maybe I'm just extra bitter about him. seeing him go 1/8 last week even though he got a big td pass felt pretty satisfying to show that he's not going to cut it as a QB. Maybe he should convert back to TE

I thought he was like the top TE recruit out of HS when he was a senior. IDK who their TE even is in Arizona.

To your point, I remember him being hyped up big time, but he was a turnover machine. I distinctly remember him basically losing VT the game when they came to Pitt a few years back.

By the end of his last year his passing game was so inconsistent and turnover heavy they were saying he had to go back to being a TE in the NFL. I thought he was going to do it but I guess not. He was an ESPN 150 player as a TE so I imagine he had to at least have some decent hands. His physical dimensions should be good enough for it too. Maybe he's just stubborn like some of those other guys like Tebow.

To be fair to him, he's only a rookie, so maybe he should give it a year or two before he makes the change.

EDIT: Ah, Kyle Orton. Nothing like throwing five yards to a covered man on 3rd and 10.

EDIT 2: Torrey Smith > DeAndre Hopkins

Crap Tampa is back. I wonder what Lovie's WARM is.

The entire Bills offense has been crap.

Missed FG for Gostkowski!

Broncos going to be trailing the Jets after a quarter. What a strange day.

EDIT: WHY ON EARTH DO YOU TWO HAND A GUY IN THE ENDZONE?!?!?!

EDIT 2: Shit, at least I started Tim Wright as a fill in TE.
