NFL 2005 Season Week 3 Picks

Buccaneers 17 @ Packers 16

Jeremy: I'll go against Green Bay until they win. Tampa might be good. I have no idea. I really have nothing to say.

Matt: Keep Mike Sherman

Jon: Hopefully Tampa Bay will go undefeated this year and then not be able to play for the championship because they didn't get enough votes. That would be a great joke to play on Carnell Williams. Quick, Tampa Bay: in our division or not?

Sarah: Eeeee, what's going on? All these bad starts to a season, it kind of takes the fun out of football. It just seemed like we should've won last week. With chants of "Reggie" in the background, a miracle seemed possible. We fell short. I think the communication is a little off. Did u see the play with Ferguson and Favre? I could've sworn Favre was gonna run, and Fergie thought so too, so he turned to block for him and then Favre threw it to him! Never mind the fact that Bubba was wide open in the end zone. Sigh. Tampa Bay is either just sneaking in a few wins or they're actually good. I can't pick against my team for a while, not until they actually need the win. (see last year)

Saints 16 @ Vikings 33

Jeremy: There's bad, and then there's bad. I was never nieve enough to beleive the addition via subtraction garbage. Playmakers make plays, plays win football games. No one ever won a game playing grab ass in the locker room. Add to the situation the fact that everyone except Matt Birk liked Moss and I just don't get it. And I knew there had to be some drop off with a new Offensive Coord, QB Coach, and OLine after giving up a play maker like Randy, but wow. The turnovers need to stop. The offense needs to change. There is still too much talent to be this bad. The problem is that we're still running an offense like Randy is here. We can't send everyone on a 30 yard route. Where are the 5 yard slants? Those are Nate Burleson's bread and butter anyway.

Matt: Fire Mike Tice

Jon: Mike Tice apparently got a vote of confidence from the Vikings' owner. In the sports world, there is nothing worse for a coach than the vote of confidence. Tice will be fired by October.

Sarah: Ok, wow, I mean wow. We've at least put some games together. But watching the Vikings has been like watching a Packers playoff game. Turnover after turnover. It's been ugly. I don't know what to think. Supposedly all of the talent's there, but it just doesn't know how to work together? I don't know what the problem is. Add up all the injuries and I just don't see a win coming this week either.

Giants 23 @ Chargers 45

Jeremy: I hope the Chargers get back on track here. I don't want the Giants to be a factor in anything after their 9 home games.

Matt: The Giants Defense is keeping the ACCarters afloat. So far they've given me more points than my QB and three WRs combined.

Jon: I think the Giants are a bit worse than their record shows. Too bad the Patriots Steelers game can't be shown instead.

Sarah: The opening kickoff for the Giants @ the Saints (please YA-right) was kind of a bummer. Saints fumbled and Giants recovered. Anyway, did anyone else catch the fantasy football week I had? I thought I could win the week by one or two points and then Santana Moss gets 30 points on Monday night. Heck ya! Go me and my one shining moment.

Chiefs 10 @ Broncos 30

Jeremy: I think Plummer is going to ride the bench on my fantasy team this week.

Matt: Free Ron Dayne

Jon: The Broncos could make it two years in a row of being completely unpredictable.

Sarah: AFC West games, great fun. Ok, so they had the Hurricane Katrina Telethon thing on MNF. Donovan F McNabb AND John Elway were both answering the phones. I wanted to call in SOOOO badly and give them a piece of my mind. I would've been a little nicer to DFM, because he's been my FF QB for like 4 years running, but I still would've said something about the 4th and 26th and how that crushed me. Then Elway was talking about how some people liked him now and then Howie Long piped in that he would smack him on the head and I wanted to call in and ask him to please do so. OOOO I wanted to call in soooo badly, but I mean really, what are the odds I actually get to talk to one of those boneheads?
