Steelers 20 @ Packers 10
Jeremy: Green Bay is up for the Steelers so of course that means it's time for the 3rd string quarterback. QB 4 got me almost no points in fantasy football last week and Plummer sat on the bench with a 33 point day. I think it will be the last time QB 4 sees the field for the Vitals for a while. Luckily you can't get negative points for inexplicable stupidity to lose the game. I may have been in trouble then.Matt: Even with Charlie Batch going for the Steelers, the Packers still have no shot. Steelers 17 - Packers 7
Jon: Interesting note about Green Bay, I don't care.
Sarah: I just don't know what to do anymore. My beloved team can't catch a break to save their life. What was up with cutting Joey Thomas? Going into the season they touted him higher than Ahmad Carroll and then foomp! he's gone. Interesting... Well, we've all seen this Charlie Batch guy before and despite what the media is saying, I don't think he was ever good in Detroit. Or he was for a game and then sucked it up. Do you believe in miracles? Cause uh, I'm starting to have my doubts.
Eagles 10 @ Redskins 17
Jeremy: OWENS OWENS OWENS is out. I think Washington is somewhat overrated. McNabb is going to fall apart at some point.Matt: If the Potatoes still had the Official Coach of Page 3, they would win 36-14, but without him they will only win 35-14.
Jon: No one makes me like Donovan McNabb more than T.O. This has surpassed Shaq Kobe proportions.
Sarah: TO keeps getting into trouble. WIth "his" Favre comment I hope that we don't try and sign him or something next year. (I don't know if we'd have the money, maybe we would if we didn't sign Green) Can you imagine what that would be like? Let's all pause and imagine the horror. I just shuddered. I keep waiting for McNabb to break into like 100 pieces on the field, but he keeps hanging in there. My fantasy points are going way down though. Maybe I should pick up batch for the week. Ha
Colts 40 @ Patriots 21
Jeremy: Indy FINALLY gets over the hump here. All it took was for them to put together a undefeted team and wait for the pats to be near 500.Matt: I'm sick of New England. Colts 23 - Patriots 14
Jon: I didn't know these teams were playing this week. Does anyone know if Peyton Manning has had any success or failures against New England? I wonder if any of the coaches went on a fishing trip recently.
Sarah: Yea yea Indy is soooo good, but even when you're the best, if you go TO your nemisis, you don't stand a chance. Or at least I hope not because I'm going with NE.

Remember when Wisconsin had a defense? Me neither. Bad play call to pass from the 5. Succo looks like a redshirt freshman again. Someone needs to give him the Heimlich. |

With Harrington back at the helm the Bears have officially won the division by default. I don't condone TO's actions, but I don't see how suspending him helps the Eagles at all. They aren't going to be able to beat TO into submission like they unmercifully do to all their other players (Westbrook is probably one of the top 3 backs for a team that throws 99% of the game and they won't pony up), so they might as well take what they can get from TO on the field. It's not like he hasn't been playing well, or that they have any other halfway decent WRs on the team. And it doesn't pay to try to start losing to move up in the draft cause they'll never catch the Packers and Vikings. I hope NE and their sneaky injury reports get blasted to smithereens . |

Right, they can only suspend him for 4 games, although he was hurt anyway for this game. (although i was reading some articles and it said that he practiced just fine) So let's say he wasn't going to play so they punish him just for looks, well what does that do for anyone? It pisses TO off, it makes other players suspiscious and well just doesn't accomplish anything. He's their best receiver and with McNabb banged up the way he is, really their only shot at staying in the hunt for the playoffs. (unless they plan on starting to run the ball) They don't seem to treat their players very well. They have a lot of cap space, but don't want to pay any of their players. I don't have a problem with them not paying TO, but they let go of Corey Simon, and they won't give Westbrook a contract. What gives? It's all fishy and it sounds like it's not an organization people would want to play for. Do you think the Packers will end up with like the #1 draft? We keep arguing over who they will draft, Leinart or Bush. I say Bush, because we're going to get rid of Green. But it would be funny if we did get Leinart because then well what was the point in Rodgers? Phooey I say. Of course this is under the assumption that we will have a worse record than the Texans. If we both wind up with 1-15 records, then what does it go to? Strength of opponent's records? Who our win was against? 'Cause they beat the Browns and we did not, but I don't know if they played the Saints, but the Saints are better than the Browns. Patriots- I was going to bench Pass last week because it sounded like Dillon was going to start last week, but then if Pass hadn't gotten hurt, it looks like Corey wouldn't have played at all. Why do they get to get away with that? There are rules about injury reports yet the Patriots get to skirt that. It sux for FF players. I think the Badgers should just take a nap on the field. |

He was better in the second half and he never gave up, but he didn't step up either. Everyone knew that they weren't going to be able to run the ball as well as normally, so Stocco needed to step up and have a huge game, and he was average at best. Certainly the O-line didn't give him much help either, but I have hard time believing that with the WRs they have there weren't more guys open when Stocco did have time. The main reason they lost is cause they got down early, thanks to the defense and one Bret Bell who just doesn't look like he ever fully recovered from his injury. And the interception in the end zone was huge too, but that was the most predictable interception ever. They should've tried to pound it in on the ground or throw a fade to Orr. Don't put Stocco in a position to fail at that point. If the Packers get the #1 they have to take Bush. Or trade down for more picks. Otherwise I quit. |

| In my opinion, if the packers get the number 1 pick, I don't think they can lose. The draft class seems pretty deep for the first 2 or 3 picks. Vince Young(who right now is having a better year than Matt Leinart), Matt Leinart, and Reggie Bush are the 3 that, if Bush and Young decide to go pro, will go 1,2,3(probably) in some particular order. But Bush and Young are both Juniors, so I guess we won't technically know until the college season is over. But that won't matter because the Packers are going to win out, win the division, and go to the Super Bowl only to lose by a field goal to the Patriots, which later will show that the kick was wide right. |

| Bucks are 3-0!!!!! It's early, but this is easily the best looking team they've had since they got screwed by the refs in the Eastern Conference Finals (they also got screwed in those playoffs by Tim Thomas playing the best 10 games of his career). They have way more talent inside with Bogut and Magloire, Simmons actually remind me a lot of Big Dog last night by showing some range with the jumper and also throwing it down in Mourning's face in the closing minutes of a close game but he also seems to play more defense, Redd is just as good a scorer as Allen ever was, Ford is a better overall point guard then Cassell and Williams makes up for any lack of scoring at the guard positions. Throw in some extra big bodies in Gadzuric and Smith when he gets healthy, one wily playoff experienced veteren in Kukoc, and a former Big Ten star in Charlie Bell and the sky is the limit. |

I should add that I will also quit if the Patriots win the Super Bowl again. I don't think you should mess with the teams. Having teams that don't pay attention is part of the Yahoo! FF experience. |

| That was a nice catch, I'll give them that. I guess this was the spark the Vikings needed. Johnson and Culpepper are very different QBs. The announcers made the comment that Daunte would wait til a wr was open before he threw the ball whereas Brad just throws and the wr just has to know when to turn around to look for the ball. Stupid Lions. |

ok, here's a rant: Favre said that his future may depend on whether or not Sherman returns. Well, here's what I have to say. It is worth it to me to say fairwell to Favre on a hall of fame career if it means that Mike Sherman gets banned from lambeau field for a period not exceeding 10 years. 1st and 5.....run for 2 yards.....2nd and 3....run for 1 yard.....3rd and 2.....run for less than a yard (all with a a 5th string rb!!!!) What the heck? |

| I will go on record to say that the single worst thing ever to happen to sports (other than free agency:)) is on the field reporting. What does a coach have to say after his team gave up 10 points on turnovers and are down 13-3 at halftime. Go away. |

In response to Scott: Your best day rushing was without Ahman and this 5th string guy you picked up did just as well as Ahman was doing (except without 2 fumbles) In response to Sarah: The reason Johnson throws to a reciever he knows will be open vs Daunte's wait for a player to come fre is because we switched offensive styles for the qb's. When Daunte is in we send guys way down field and hope they get open. Since Johnson can't "buy time" like Daunte they switched game plans to a quick timing route style offense (which we should have switched to since the day we traded Randy). and if I may: I didn't get to see a lot of the game but what I did saw Brett not being able to hit the broadside of a barn or throw a single pass that a wr didn't have to dive for. Also when you need 4 yards to keep the game alive and you can crawl for the 4 yards why throw a jump ball 40 yards down field? |

all good questions, I'll just assume that Jeremy's comment to which I responded earlier was simply "to get a rise", because the Packers were definitely much more stung by injuries going into this game than the Packers were. Also, I agree with the last part of Jeremy's comment about Favre not really being on today. He seemed to be throwing at a lot of feet, over heads, off the finger tips, and the like. As far as the last 4th down play, I don't know why he didn't run. I wonder if maybe he has lost all confidence in his team/coaches in that he didn't think it would have been worth it to even if he did get a first down. I think he was afraid that if he got the first down, they would just run 3 times and get 5 yards. |

Lions 14 @ Vikings 27
Jeremy: I don't know what there is left to say. This is a season from hell. We already have our starting quarterback out for a good portion of NEXT year, more than likely. On a positive note either Brad Johnson will be the spark we need or will shut up the start anyone but Daunte crowd.Matt: I'm still going with Minnesota. Vikings 19 - Lions 15
Jon: Did you guys realize that the Super Bowl is in Detroit? No wonder our division has done so poorly. They already all go there once a year. Why go back?
Sarah: Are they saying Harrington might be QB for this one? I didn't get to see how bad/good Brad Johnson played last week. I think they only scored like a td. So, I think Johnson might be past his prime and I am going to go with Detroit on this one, even though I don't like Harrington.
