Yeah, ochopsycho and TO on the same team isn't my idea of a functional family. They still have the coolest helmets in the league though......

I am wondering how many weeks until Cincy implodes with Reality TVitus.
That would be the Jets.  Amazing how fast their fans have turned on them.  Though the offense did look abysmal last week.

I've always liked the Steelers' helmets -- the old U.S. Steel logo, on only one side of the helmet, for some reason.  And, as much as I dislike the Cowboys, one has to admit that their helmets are pretty damn iconic.
 
Haw!!  Its just cause you hate the 'boys.  (BTW, congrats on the 'Skins win!)

I am bummed.  I had Ryan Grant as my #2 RB, and he is out the year.  Dammit. 
 
Because of my move, I didn't get into a fantasy league this year. And yeah, a win is a win even though Dallas self destructed. If this is what the offense is going to look like, I don't have a great feeling about the McNabb era.

Hey, it's just fantasy to you. I'm a genuine Packers fan, how ya think us Cheeseheads like it? :bigsmile:

But it's OK for me at least. The Packers system doesn't require a superb running back, just a competent one. The Pack will be OK.
 
OH, yeah, I agree.  A superb running back makes that offense look really good, but the system works really well there. 
 
Ryan Grant wasn't superb, though. He was just average, but in a good system. Much like all those running backs that came through Denver in the Shanahan days. That's why the Pack is OK. They don't need LT. They just need someone who can get the first on 3rd and 2, and who won't drop the ball.
 
Ryan Grant was better than average.  I saw something on ESPN that said only Adrian Peterson and Thomas Jones (and maybe one other guy) had more rushing yards than Grant over the past three years. 

I have Rodgers on my fantasy team, and all I can say is, Brandon Jackson had better be able to pass-block and keep the defense respecting the run. 
 
I wasn't necessarily trying to imply that Grant was superb, but I see how that looked that way.  He is a good solid RB, and probably in the top 10 in the NFL for reliability (typically durable, doesn't lose the ball often and a solid all around player).

I still think the Pack is gonna be tough to beat in the Black & Blue division.  MN has a shot, but they have to get that offense clicking to do better than a 6th place wild card.
 
Green Bay defeats Buffalo, 34-7.

Exhibiting their rightful dominance of their division, as the Minnesota Choadsmokers get whipped by the Dolphins (the Dolpins?! bwahahaha...).

Although Chicago beating Dallas sucks balls. The Bears must be destroyed.
 
Sports with 16 game seasons are a little silly. Lose 2 games and that's usually it.

Montreal is 7-3 now, still looking good to get the bye to the semis.
 
J-E-T-S... Jets, Jets, Jets!  Big win for us. All the injuries are getting me a bit worried. Hopefully, they continue to give Sanchez a longer leash. Can't expect him to improve with play calling like the Baltimore game. Fins next week! Always a tough game.
