No, he doesn't. LOL!!!!

[excel]

My oh My!!!
What a game.

Picked the Lions but once again refs missed huge call.
PI on Lions no doubt

[excel]

That was ugly. LOL!

[excel]

Lions playing like the Ravens did before waking up.
Maybe this interception wake them up.
Otherwise going to be ugly.

[excel]

Jerry needs to swallow his pride and become silent owner.

What a circus.

[Eli's Gone]

Might not be much fun in Jerry Jones' booth lately...

[excel]

Good thing though is we aren't Cowboy fans. LOL!
I long for the Tom Landry days with all those characters who use to play for the cowboys..

[excel]

Yep, I don't get that.

I'm just hoping Seahawks don't get stupid giving DK Metcalf huge contract.

Receivers are very plentiful no need to do that to our money we have left.

Spend on the trenches if you want to win for most teams.

[Eli's Gone]

season--decade....2 seasons over .500 in the last 12 but, we're paying our QB $160M/4yrs

[excel]

WOW! The old saying when it rains it pours sure does describe their season.

[Eli's Gone]

Giants fly 4000 miles to Munich to win the coin flip in OT ----------and fumble on the 1st play---game over

[excel]

Heard about that.

Falcolns I guess thought they could just show up and Saints would just give the game to them because all the injuries, drama with new coach. Unreal they weren't ready to play.

[Eli's Gone]

Chiefs block a chip shot to stay unbeaten 16-14---wow

[excel]

Yes, it was terrible ...................... again.

Since no challenge flags in last two minutes how about review from NY instead.

Radio announcer this morning said if 140 year old Al Michaels can see the face mask why can't the refs on the field?

[Tree]

I really thought that Zorn was underrated.
I could see that being the case for Geno.
I just can't get a read on that team. LOL

[MasterBlastr]

Yet another great game stained by non-calls.

[excel]

Ravens woke up after Lamar ran.
Tried to give the game back with stupid penalties.

[excel]

Ravens talk about wanting to be a top team. Maybe show some effort.
Example .............. Lamar has zero runs. His runs help everything else in the offense.

This isn't pre-season.

No excuse.

[excel]

Yep, I think you are right.

I don't like that about the NFL.
They always promoting a team or a cause it gets old.

Seahawks, not that NFL was promoting them, but they got quite a few calls few years back that ticked me off.
I want to win but I want it to be a real win not a give me.

KC has one of the most exciting QB's out there they don't need to be doing this.
I watch KC just to watch Maholm's.

[excel]

LOL! I hear ya. I thought for sure they'd get their act together.

I thought WRONG!
LOL!

Not sure if another team out there has ever dealt with such a terrible O-line for DECADES as the hawks have?

If you notice our QB's like Wilson, Hasselback, Dave Craig, Jim Zorn.

They were really good at running for their life back there making plays like kids do playing backyard football.

Geno if given time to throw from pocket is great.

But being pressured that is not his skill set to scramble so .......... here we are.

[Buckey]

Lets add in a blatant PI missed KC guy hit him before ball arrive and the Facemask when Bucs were pushing - His hand never even touched helmet. Bucs also lost first game with Atlanta o a missed call but feeling has been KC gets a lot of calls - Like the Pats used to

Your Chiefs got lucky on that non offsides call at the end there. Saw it from my house. LOL!

[Tree]

Your Seahawks are going to be the bane of my picking existence. LOL

[excel]

Just a tad. LOL!

[Tree]

The left tackle did move just a tad early. LOL

[Eli's Gone]

I got lucky with KC winning and having a 14 on them---if they lose, you win...

[excel]

Your confidence pool has been interesting.
This week for me has been hardest ones to pick overall as I don't have much confidence in lot of picks compared to prior weeks.

[excel]

Your Chiefs got lucky on that non offsides call at the end there. Saw it from my house. LOL!

[Tree]

LMAO!!!
What's a fella to do?

[Tree]

LMAO!!!
What's a fella to do?

[Eli's Gone]

I'm always reminded of Ozzy and his "it could be worse, I could be Sting"...in my case, "it could be worse, you could be a NYG fan" LOL

[Tree]

I most definitely will. They gave me confidence as well, otherwise it would have been a really rough week for me. LOL

[Eli's Gone]

Your Chiefs gave me the "Confidence"---thank them for me

[Tree]

Nice pickin' Eli!!

[Eli's Gone]

one of my sons is a chef at a very popular restaurant on Treasure Island beach---it's been over a month now with no end in sight as to when it will re-open---and of course the tourist industry which fills those motels and hotels and his restaurant has been decimated...

[MasterBlastr]

Too easy to be detached in this virtual world and not appreciate the reality behind the images.

[Eli's Gone]

I've lived on the barrier islands right on the sand for 25+ years---moved to the bay side several years ago---drove up and down the beach Sunday and was shocked to see it in person----every house/business has piles of debris and sand in front same as I did---most houses inhabitable---many destroyed--some had first floors completely filled with sand...heartbreaking

[MasterBlastr]

That's pretty much how I pencil in my picks, then come back later and back a few out, maybe.

Been watching some YouTube videos with people in the TB area with unbelievable problems. Hope things get better soon,

[Eli's Gone]

A fluke...never know when and for how long I will be offline----so I just pulled the left lever (just like I voted) and took all the favorites....took about 7 seconds

[MasterBlastr]

Good to see you getting back to your old picken' self again. Nice going.

Seahawks run to left side twice.
4th down what do they do?
Run to the left.
Almost the whole team was waiting for him.

How one can call themselves a professional coach and the run three plays in a row same side is beyond my understanding.

Fact is they didn't deserve to win the game anyways they were totally outplayed ..........but ............ they got it to OT and still managed to mess it up.

[Tree]

Andy Reid is tied with Josh McDaniel for all-time wins at Allegiant Stadium. LOL

I have seen 3 games that he has called. While I do think that he has gotten slightly better, I am disappointed as I thought that he would be really good(Romo like)
Alas, he is not. LOL
He doesn't seem comfortable in the role

[excel]

LOL!

At least you didn't have to listen to Tom Brady make excuses for the players the whole game because it was raining.

Maybe Tom needs a geography lesson I don't know but it rains in the Cesspool I mean Seattle.

Not like the Seahawks haven't played in the rain.

No excuse for hiking a ball over a jumping 6 foot 4 QB except Tom had one.

I have all the respect in the world for Tom's QB skill sets but I don't need to hear Captain Obvious all game long talk talk talk about what is obvious.

[Tree]

Yesterday, I watched ESPN's pregame which I never do but the wife had it on. Does Rex Ryan say stuff just to have a "hot take" or is he really just that clueless about today's NFL?
I watched him say how the Ravens were the best team going, how the Raiders were going to beat the Chiefs because they had a chip on their shoulder and how the Jets were going to go 10-7. All three of those teams the went out and crapped in their hats. Great insight Rex

[Buckey]

Shout out to Jameis Winston Glad you did not listen the experts I listened to this week saying you were not the answer. You seemed to do OK

[Tree]

Thank you. Honestly, it was more about being not quite sure how Minnesota would react after their first loss

[Tree]

I liked my pick so much, I gave it a one in confidence! LOL!!!
