Phillips had a huge sack against Grossman. Man Rex was hit hard

Either way pretty crazy how they got the FG team on the field and got the play off in time. Talk about having just enough time to make it work. Crazy.

One of the best things about the new season are the new beer commercials. Those Bud Lite commercials are great.

And the Bears/Chargers game is a huge defensive matchup.

Garcia was just destroyed in the Seattle game. Gone to the locker room after diving for a first down.

Well so far I picked 11 out of 13 games right....and I'm dead last in the pick'em pool because I lost two big point games. Mind you I don't think anyone else has missed a pick or so it seems everyone else is 12-1 at worst and lost their 1 point game. Tough week for me, I'll have to make up some serious ground here.

Is it really that good? I figured I was a lock to be in first as I have only missed my 4 point game with 3 games to go.

I even made a post on the site uniquely saying OH YEAH!

I didn't even look at anyone else's picks!

Yeah, with my two bad picks I took 30 points off the board...realistically the best I can hope to do now is finish 17 out of 21....and one guy made one pick and another guy didn't pick any games (although he's apparently unofficially keeping track). So really one guy who made picks will likely end up below me. I think last year I had 69 points in week one and was middle of the pack. This year I could have 106 and be hind teat.

I picked up him and LenDale in one of my drafts. I didn't know which was going to be featured so they were bothe on the pine this week (I always load up on RBs - I also have Marshawn Lynch, Portis, Maroney, Parker and Adrian Peterson (Minn)). Maroney and Parker were my worst RBs (This league has 1 RB and 3 flex positions, so I started 4 RBs)

Owens has looked bad - he's given up on at least 3 passes to him. Maybe the passes weren't great, but a little effort would help

I'm pretty high on LenDale too. Him and Brown could be a wicked 1-2 punch in the backfield as early as, well, this year. Combined with Vince Young's running ability it should open up some WR's downfield out of respect for the run. Atleast that's what I'm hoping for. >.>

K Everett looks like he is in rough shape. He is currently in surgury and all I have been able to pick up is that he has a serious spine injury.

I only have three games wrong, and I'm in the middle of the pack. If DEN and GB didn't pull out last second field goals, I'd be laughing. TEN also stung me.

Ouch rough game for the Giants. They lose Jacobs, Umiyura and now Manning to go with Dockery. Their defence also gets lit up terribly in the process too. Whats the over under on what week Tom Coughlin gets fired....week 8?

Still not as bad as the Bills.

On top of Everett's spine injury, their starting safety broke an ankle, starting CB broke an arm, and a LB tore a knee ligament.

And to really add insult the way they lost the game. Overall bad day for football teams from New York State...At least the Jets only got their butts whooped.
