Default NFL Week 3

Pre-game Bengals v Steelers

Funny seeing Joey Porter and Chad Johnson trash talking pre-game
Should be a great game, and a very interesting week.

Big kudos to Brett Favre on becoming only the 2nd QB in NFL history to throw for 400 TD passes.

As the Packer offense begins to look like it is NFL caliber the last couple weeks, it isnt impossible for him to pass Marino as the all time leader if he gets 21 more this year.

Greg Jennings rocks.

Detroit putting up a couple TDs in the first half, and GB showing life. I don't think it will be enough to overcome the Bears (or maybe the Vikings - a bit of redemption, perhaps).

What the hell is wrong with the Dolphins?

I'm no fan, but I'm not stupid either. Losing to the Titans at home? WOW.

I heard that Culpepper is in danger of losing the starting job if things dont change this week.

Glad I could help them out. Geez, they shouldn't be that bad though.

Yeah, in my FF drafts I was disappointed Culpepper didn't fall to me. Guess I now consider that a good thing.

Whats up with Carolina? I heard all these experts peg them as the team to win the NFC. Now they're on the verge of starting 0-3. Looks like the Colts are still a legitimate threat even without James. Looks like I'm going to get killed on my picks this week.

And My Colts keep rolling! Great to see that Dramatica didn't have to do anything, haha.

I went 5-3 in the early games. Not bad I guess.

I went 4-4, losing my 1-2-4 & 9 games. Thankfully my moves to give 12 and 13 points to the Fins and Panthers didn't bite me in the ass, but they were close.

I lost the big one....Buffalo. 14 confidence. The bleeding stopped there though. Also lost with Houston (last time I pick those losers for a while) @3 and the Steelers (who gave their game away) @1/

Yeah, the Jets bit me for my biggest loss too. They might actually be good enough to post a 9-7 season and who knows, if they can put up a 6-2 divisional record it might be enough to keep them in Wild Card contention. I also put 1 point on the Steelers as well, only to watch them turn the ball over. That last minute touch down by Chicago also took me out too. Minnesota keeps costing me frickin points every week! I only took Detroit because they were at home and Farve has had his troubles with Ford Field, and I thought Marinelli would rally his troops. From now on max points on the Lions to lose, well maybe second max after the Raiders.

Meh, I had to bet for the Jets, they've been playing pretty well as of late and they are definately not the same team they were last season with Pennington back.

I think some people still have last year's Brooks Bollinger led Jets in the back of their mind.

Man, my Niners are getting spanked today.

And Seattle is moving the ball at will. I wonder if they are going to let up on the Giants after what the G-men did last week?

My biggest fear going into this week was it comes down to a last second kick and without Mr. Automatic it's Gramatica.

The Colts OWN the Jags

Naw, I just thought the Bills weren't last years Bills!
