Bah. Well, whatever, time for me to not give a shit about the NFL for 2 weeks and watch the CFL playoffs.

Wow, fucking killer week. We'll be done to 4 left after tonight's game. I think fully half the causalities were thanks to the Cowboys.
Start making this week's picks once the Pats/Steelers game ends.

I'm going for the battle of who's worse, and Bengals have home field. I'm also trying not to pick a team someone else has, I looked up and realized I had the same thing as Klimb the last two weeks, not very interesting if everyone picks the same team.
And I'm a Bengals Fan, trying to have a little faith in what should be IMO the easiest game of the season.

Yeah, good points across. The Bills have been fiesty though. I try to like the Bengals, but I feel like they are just always going to be middle of the pack, sometimes 7-9, sometimes 10-6, no better no worse. I think a coaching change would do some good, their staff isn't bad, but it has proven to be mediocre, as has Carson Palmer.

I agreed, I think its time for Marvin Lewis to step down.
Carson Palmer pisses me off so much. He started off as a great QB for the bengals, and brought us to the playoffs last season. But this season, he puts stats up, but then makes STUPID throws for Ints. It makes me want to punch him in his eye.

Pandajuice has an hour to get a pick in, or he will be randomly assigned the New England Patriots.

Oh drag. I think it's past midnight in England right now so he's probably asleep. Don't think he'll get it in on time.
EDIT: Like a dope, I wrote that as the game was kicking off. I take back my previous statement and amend it to "I guarantee he doesn't get it in on time."
Tough break.

Eh, I hate to say it, but the Pats are a team that can lose this week.

Yeah, definitely. Anyone can. But I'm sure he'd rather take his chances with another team.

Ah shit, I forgot about the stupid Thurday games again. I hate the Thursday games. Thursday is not an NFL day you stupid NFL network. Well, fingers crossed; go Steelers.

Pssst. They played the Steelers last week. They play the Colts this week.

Aww, that sucks Panda. I know Usa will strike me down for challenging the rules, but I'd be okay with him picking a team of his liking, as long as it is not one chosen already to keep it interesting as we would all have different teams.

I'd go for that Rydog, but I'm fine with being forced to take New England as I did neglect to get my pick in on time.
And yeah by Steelers, I clearly meant Colts. See, my problem is (and this is related to why I missed the pick this week too) I record 3 NFL games every week in addition to the 49er games and avoid any spoilers for as long as it takes me to watch those games, so I seem to always be a week behind everyone else.

Sorry, I'm gonna be a bitch about it. What if he was gonna pick the Bears? He has knowledge the rest of the players didn't have when he made his pick. Besides, I gave more than enough warnings. When it's your cash on the line, you can make the rules.
Besides, let's face it, you know you all want the Pats to lose.

Im fine with it, the Colts always play the Pats hard so there's a good chance they'll pull it off.

Yeah man...Bengals fell apart in the second half. This game is going to cost Marvin Lewis his job. They have a ton of talent, but just can't put it together.

Way to almost blow it Pats. I fucking hate, hate, HATE the, "we are up by a lot late in the 4th quarter defense". I'd be more comfortable with a small lead. Teams always score on us when we are up by a bunch late. Fucking makes me nuts.
Anyways, great effort till 10 minutes left in the 4th (not counting game winning pick).

That's the "trying to preserve the lead" mentality. Absolute best way to completely blow it, in any sport. Doesn't matter by how much you lead (like 4-0 in soccer -_-),
if you're retarded enough to do that you have a very good chance to lose.

Okay, so now we're down to holy crap someone actually picked a Monday game.
So, if the Broncos lose, it's down to 2 people, Klim and Rydog. If they win, Rydog takes the prize home.
Either way, hold off this week's picks till after the Monday game. Yes, I know this doesn't give you a lot of time. Pressure is good for ya.
