Week 4 Discussion Thread

[Judge Jude]

Giants getting killed on special teams to be down 17-7:
- 89-yd punt return for TD by Chiefs
- missed 44-yd FG at 1st-half buzzer
- just committed a dopey "7 men on line" penalty after Chiefs long FG, so 1st down and tick tick tick

Chiefs have been excellent there, made a 51-yder late 1st half and, well, not committing dumb penalties

Giants also have SEVEN 3 and outs and 3 turnovers, now 24-7

Jake Locker with what looks like a serious hip injury.

[revo]

there might be 8 NFC teams better than any team in the NFC East.

[Judge Jude]

NFC Least today improved to 2-10 when not facing each other
on a brighter note, they have managed a .500 record (2-2) against themselves, lol

Cowboys 2-2
Eagles 1-3
Redskins 1-3
Giants 0-4

Eagles-Giants next week in first of possibly several Toilet Bowls
then Giants visit the Bears just 4 days later on Thurs night FB, ruh roh
Eagles visit winless Bucs in Week 6 in a pick-em contest
Cowboys get a "breather" next week against the Broncos (!), then face the Redskins - who have a bye next week - on a Sunday night
then the Redskins will take their own beating in Denver in Week 7

AFC West 7-1 against the NFC Least already, but they only have 8 more left and quite a few come soon. AFCW will face mostly legit opponents and division games in last 6 weeks, which should have an impact...

I think playing D against the broncos constitutes a breather Dunne it really doesn't matter how much effort you give.. They are still gonna put up 40+

[Pogues]

So...the Giants looked good today, didn't they? And the Bucs, making the change at QB looked good for the first quarter. If it wasn't for Miami, Florida would be looking forward to the Heat even more.

They did for a half.

I like Tony Gonzalez. 32.9 points in my league when I need him to outscore Colston by 13. We'll see what Colston does tonight, but right now it is looking halfway decent...

Skins looked good. Against the Raiders. And a backup QB. If you win your division at 6-10 do they still let you in the playoffs?

Seattle won the NFC West with a 7-9 record just a few years ago. And then beat the Saints in the playoffs, mainly thanks to an incredible game by Marshawn Lynch.
