Disagreed with his assessment of New Orleans (in part, not all), but his commentary of the Chicago v LA Rams game made me scream. :lol2:

Seriously, the Failcon Chokers beat the Panthers? How the Hell did we all get this wrong?!

They kind of look decent now that Dan Quinn is gone. Could have had three wins in a row had a single player not made a horrible mistake.

Great

So a game I wanted the Failcons to choke on, and they pull out the W.

#FuckAtlanta

Hehehehhe Let's go Falcons!

Sorry

Seriously; even I do not understand how they are suddenly winning again.

I had a sneaking suspicion that Atlanta might be the right pick here. But I played it safe and it didn't work out for me. Ugh.

I think the Panthers have had some glaring defensive issues. And the Falcons found a way to exploit them. Not exactly an achievement, but many lols.

Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh is gonna be a hell of a game; go Ravens

A game I won't get to see. Because instead of a marquee matchup between two of the best teams in the league, CBS thinks I'd rather watch the Jets go 0-8 against KC.

Rest of picks - Week 8

GB
TEN
KC
IND
BAL
LAR
BUF
CLE
LAC
NO

CBS doesn't know what it's doing with these games it's broadcasting anymore, honestly.

I understand that one. If the Steelers play at the same as the Broncos, there's almost no chance I get to watch them. Everyone here is a Broncos or Cowboys fan. So CBS always shows the Broncos and Fox always airs the Cowboys. That's probably a big part of why I hate both teams. There are other reasons. But that's one.

That and the Cowboys are owned by Satan trying to get his blood-and-oil-splattered hands into the politics of everything related to NFL football?

I can give one thing to Trump here and one thing only. He killed his franchise fast enough that it didn’t have a lasting impact. Jerry Jones kept some of his very best owners and coaches out of the Hall of Fame for YEARS in order to sate his own ego. I hate the Cowboys, but look at how Jimmy Johnson and Troy Aikman cried when Johnson FINALLY got his badge of honor. They had been kept from that honor longer than I’ve been alive, and for four Superbowls? SHAMEFUL. Trump might have been a trash owner, but he shot the thing to pieces and left it there. Jerry Jones does absolutely nothing but perpetuate resentment, frustration, and greed for the sake of lining his pockets, and the difference is that he manages to drag the bloodied, burdened beast through the gauntlet even when it is dying or in need of a massive reset.

I've no love lost for Jones or them Cowboys. OTOH Donald Trump's greed killed the whole freaking league. I was a fan of the USFL, but his obsessive greedy bullshitter persona destroyed it. Then there's the damage he's done to my country, but that's a topic for another thread.

on one hand I get where your going, but on the other hand the USFL folding finally forced JIm Kelly to stop being a bitch and come to Buffalo so...

[The Titans] have 2 big weaknesses - the first is the inability to generate a pass rush. [The Titans] paid Vic Beasley and Jadeveon Clowney a combined $22+ million this offseason. They have combined for ZERO sacks through the first six games of the season - not a great return on investment there.
