Lions v Bears our first push in the contest !

 

My Redskins are by far the best team in the NFL with a losing record. They compete and play good teams tight even on the road.

Well I'm terrible at these picks. Next week I'm making my picks and then whoever is posting them just flip them lol

Feels like a win to me :(

Well, it's official. My Cowboys sure do suck. So do my picks evidently.

Well Nix you ( Boys) and I (Skins) must at this point tip our cap to the Eagles. The NFC Beast is all Fly Eagles Fly this year.

I have noticed a very alarming trend here. I am the worst golfer in this elite club. But that doesn't mean I don't love the game. I lose a few balls every now and then but I try and maintain the pace of play.

And I love watching good players craft their game. I used to be in the low 90's high eighties when I was younger and played to a handicap, but now get out maybe 2-3 times a year. With much less flexibility than those good old days.

Good friends and a nice 4 hour round are enough for me with an occasional shot here and there. I am still great on the 19th hole. Cheers to all the golfers who keep the game alive and well.

Another blow out. Eagles 9-1. Amazing. I'm thinking Wentz for MVP.

[devinh821]

Man. That's the first dallas game in years I've turned off early. That defense is absolutely awful. Our WR are so bad.

I honestly wish we could trade Dez. He's not even a top 25 wr anymore in my opinion. Williams is a ghost most nights. Beasley hasn't produced this year.

 

Wentz is the real deal. They got rolling in the second half and dominated.

Dallas red zone offense is awful. Can't find the identity if they wanna run or pass. Kicking fgs doesn't win games in the NFL

 

Here comes the fire Garrett train! Choo choo!

[calvin1560]

Dear lord, my Browns are awful. At least the offense is. Maybe worst ever status. What in the world did the front office see in Kizer. For Ohio State fans, he reminds me of Joe Bauserman. No clue where the ball was going.

 

But Josh Gordon is back today!

[devinh821]

This years rookie qbs are pretty bad with the exception of Watson.

Kizer, Trubisky, Beathard haven't really done anything at all.

Dude, you're right about Dez... damn... what an overpaid loudmouth... The only WR I like is Beasley. That guy has guts, but yes, he hasn't done much. Day looks less than stellar, making Romo-like decisions lately.. Yes, I am on the "fire Garrett"train!!! I have been riding it for years now it feels like LOL It's like they just gave up cause Zeke is out. Softees!!!

I was pulling for your Browns, man... I really think they are better than their record shows. They need to play my Cowboys so they can get that elusive win!

Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving with the exception of the chargers. Even though I love some Phillip Rivers.

Oh no Devin, WE suck.

Oh now that is a tad harsh Pete 3 Jacker

There are many weeks ahead my friend. We are only just finished with week two.

So consider that you have at least 25 picks more and then the playoffs ( i hope we continue into the playoffs).

 

So suck? NO Just slow starters let's say.

 

I enjoy your humor bro...

Dallas HAS to make changes.

Getting out coached every game. Cmon Jerry put your big boy pants on and do your job

I thought it was pretty obvious the Cowboys would lose today. I think it's pretty obvious that Zeke makes that team, not Dak.

 

I just wish I wasn't such a big homer by picking Detroit. Ugh.

I just think they are giving up, brother. That D can't stop my local high school team, they are clueless against the pass, it's almost comical. I don't know what is going on with Dak, he looks like we got Romo back.

[Noles]

Dakota is and has been overrated. He's nothing more than an average QB. He had as good of a surrounding cast as possible last year but he is showing this year that he can't be "the guy". It's not his fault. So much hype by the media wanting the Cowboys to have a great QB. If he was in a different franchise, he would never have been put on such a pedestal.
